| Straightwire maestro vs. Analysis plus 9 As in your other thread, I will be posting a thread describing my experience with those 6 different speaker cables in my system. My small Maggies require about 400 watts per channel to get cooking, so I'm dealing with high current demands also. I'... | |
| MY Sidewinder AC cord progress: One more aspect of the above combo: I like rock music, and have been using a live concert CD often: Rush's "Different Stages Live". I must say that the drum solo (with the above AC cord combo) on disc 2 was really a singular experience in my life ... | |
| MY Sidewinder AC cord progress: BLACK MAMBA on CD player, SIDEWINDER on amp (from my notes):..............(These are just in the order I made note of them, you'll have to read the whole thing to decipher the positive from the negative aspects).........................Despite an ... | |
| Does silver speaker wire sound bright? IMHO, you would have been better off just buying Music Metre Silver. It's 13 AWG, and I got mine for only $175 (a six foot pair). It's not manufactured anymore, but with a little searching, it's not that hard to find..............Anyway, I feel th... | |
| Best CD player now made. Resolution Audio CD50. | |
| Does silver speaker wire sound bright? All the silver interconnects and speaker cable I've had in my system have sounded different, just like all the copper ones. Break in is a factor, but I will admit that it's easier to have a bright silver cable than a bright copper one. There are o... | |
| MY Sidewinder AC cord progress: Yes, it is good to have more than one set for different aspects of performance. I only have one set of AC cords that I own right now, and just want to get the best that I can get, so I'm auditioning tons of different ones, and have been doing it f... | |
| MY Sidewinder AC cord progress: Black Mamba on CD player, Proteus on amp:................(from my notes).....More "simultaneous details" within the ambience of recordings. Much more liquidity than when the Sidewinder was on the CD player (and the same Proteus on amp). Instrument... | |
| CD Player Bmp, I've not compared the Panasonic and the Pioneer DVD players directly. Perhaps you'll consider one of the affordable upsampling DACS from Perpetual Technologies, MSB, or especially the Bel Canto DAC-1?? They work well with DVD players as the t... | |
| cd players w/xlr out & no pre-amp needed I can't recommend the Resolution Audio CD50 highly enough! I'm using mine balanced, straight into a Krell amp, and the sound is certainly better in every way than anybody's digital front end I've ever heard. I use MIT 330 Shotgun Medium Proline in... | |
| The Best Audio Dealer Shelton, very glad that I cheared you up! Just think, what if you were like all the other poor shmoes in the world that don't know, or don't care about this hobby. I feel sorry for them, since it really is so fulfilling!..........Craig, yes indeed... | |
| Guilty pleasure music? Why? They're great, and you must not know much about them. | |
| Best A-D converter Or Cindy Margolis in under garments...her voice alone does it for me.....The recordings I've made with my AD converter are alomst that good...well, not really. | |
| The Best Audio Dealer Sounds to me like he was just trying to sell product (like any salesman would), and you felt he owed you favors as a personal friend (letting you know about the new Levinson, when perhaps you should have researched it more...not that it's my place... | |
| Best audio mag The Inner Ear is ok, occasionally they'll review something that nobody else has. |
