| Anyone else tried the FIM Gold series? I tried the FIM Gold power cord, not my cup of tea. ARE YOU A DEALER FOR FIM CABLES, recres??? | |
| The best and worst Audiogon poster's Albert has heard my take on the FIM Gold power cord, the so-called "best in the world". We have similar tastes in powercords, and have heard nearly the same things from one of the Shunyata cords, for example. He knows what he likes in cabling, and... | |
| INTERCONNECT-advice from knowers! Ejlif, yes I tried the Silversmith, both interconnect and speaker cable. BTW, Jeffrey Smith is by far the nicest cable guy you'll ever run across, IMO. My take ON THE SOUND was: The interconnect was the smoothest tonally, of all SILVER cables I ha... | |
| Metal or Fabric Dome tweeter Oh yes indeed on the J10 thing, he needs to go back to wine tasting...Or maybe he could write for Cosmopolitan. | |
| What makes / defines an audiophile ? Yes, I understand your main point, and I apologize for not reiterating it: that once we finally sit down and actually PAY ATTENTION to the sound of the stereo, we realize that "work needs to be done". BUT WHAT MAKES US "WANT" TO ACTUALLY SIT, LIST... | |
| INTERCONNECT-advice from knowers! With an interconnect budget that high, you will be able to try most of everything out there. I've not heard the components in your system, nor have I heard your actual system. I will agree with you on the Silway II (I tried the RCA version). I thi... | |
| What makes / defines an audiophile ? I agree, but take issue with two things: 1) There's no use in assuming that "most" non-audiophiles can hear as good or better than those of us who are (I do realize you were using that to make a point, though). Not that I'm assuming that they can ... | |
| Metal or Fabric Dome tweeter You're welcome. I think the MDT 33 is the most underrated dome tweeter in the industry. I compared it directly with the Dynaudio Esotar T330D, and feel that the Morel is better in some ways, is smoother, where the Esotar had a "steely" quality tha... | |
| Metal or Fabric Dome tweeter Having said the above, I'll step back from it somewhat to clarify my own expereinces and thoughts......For one thing, the Revelator is a Scanspeak, not a Vifa. I own a pair, and feel that they have the best combination of speed, smoothness, and dy... | |
| What makes / defines an audiophile ? Carl's definition: One who needs to get musical satisfaction through listening to accurately reproduced recordings of music. Most of the world gets musical satisfaction in other ways, and is generally satisfied with listening to a recording in a w... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! What a refreshing surprise: A dealer who likes what he sells, and doesn't like what he happens not to carry! Hope I didn't stamp your toes too hard... | |
| Metal or Fabric Dome tweeter I concur with Trelja on Focal. My opinion is, that it doesn't matter how any of us feel on this, it's how Bohemian feels, after he learns to listen for himself. | |
| Vinyl vs. CD Most of my quotes are not speculation, but personal experience. The rest are opinions based on experience, and NOT SPECULATION THAT IS NOT BASED ON HAVING NO EXPERIENCE AT ALL WITH A PARTICULAR PRODUCT, like the speculation that YOU are want to do... | |
| Best "Hungarian Rhapsody" on vinyl? Well, to use one of your words, I've tried Cardas Neutral Reference, and was "unimpressed". It had the same signature with either my tube or ss amps, and it just wasn't as good as many others I've tried, or own. It also was not tonally neutral. Th... | |
| Vinyl vs. CD I am not speculating, and you are. And I don't *tink* anything, except in the restroom. |
