| NBS or Transparent interconnects balance I feel that those who don't like MIT haven't heard MIT. Lots of cables have won "best sound" in a system. Doesn't necessarily mean anything, they generally pick a different cable manufacturer every year. | |
| MY Sidewinder AC cord progress: On first listen, I do like it better on the CD50 than I did on the amp, and that's a first. Still pretty sure it's too bright, but will continue evaluating and comparing. On a side note, I'm also comparing Cardas Neutral Reference speaker cable wi... | |
| Question on vinyl pressings Ya welcome. Of course first pressings would have a less altered result (from wear) than a later one. That would be a more "accurate" representation of what the cutter cut. | |
| The Best Speakers for a Small Room Crm, we disagree, so your reluctance is justified. You're perhaps the only human in Sol's system that thinks Maggies are more forgiving (or less revealing) than Spendors. Good luck with your system's evolution anyhow. | |
| Amp stands- Do they work? Look, I felt the same way when I'd occasionally read "letters to the editor" in Stereophile five years ago. The shouting matches aren't even as frequent on here as they were then, or now, in the letters. You just need to filter thru it, discard or... | |
| Cleaning Vinyl Yes, and the stylus generally doesn't like it when that happens either. | |
| Question on vinyl pressings Doesn't it just mean the first run of pressings from the stamper; and "second" would be another run from the same stamper? | |
| CD Player Yes, Resolution Audio CD50, without question, without compromise. | |
| Sound without the Preamp ? No, you definitely aren't just hearing things. | |
| MY Sidewinder AC cord progress: That's what I'm doing with the Cable Company, guru. Yes David, I got the same. Review of Sidwinder w/CD50 forthcoming. The Black Mamba came today, and it looks big, like it swallowed a smaller one, and had to take a nap. | |
| NBS or Transparent interconnects balance I compared Transparent Reference (latest "XL" version) directly to MIT 330 Shotgun and AudioTruth Diamond x3. The Transparent came in third, the MIT was best. The 350 EVO is much better still. I've not heard Transparent "Reference XL", and after m... | |
| MY Sidewinder AC cord progress: I might do that, but wouldn't that be like me doing your homework for you? It's not difficult to just look up the prices yourself. | |
| Your favorite Cello recording And Teresa Perez's work is fun, on a lighter side. | |
| Your favorite Cello recording Delos DE 1015, "Starker Plays Kodaly". | |
| Wilson Benesch ACT 1:component help Also, if you really need even more avoidance of "fidelity analysis", just don't spend as much time in the sweet spot. Works every time I've tried it, and I can certainly still enjoy the music that way, though usually to a lesser degree. It does ke... |
