| Best Interconnects for under $300 pair Definitely neither Alpha Core, nor Harmonic Technology are the way to go. I've tried both, and mine are MUCH better in every way. It's not a synergism anomaly, either...tried them in more than one system. | |
| Best cable for my system I think that some of my favorite cables would work in your system: MIT 330 Shotgun interconnects, balanced if you can use them. For speaker cables, I don't know, without hearing them myself in your system. I HOPE ALL OF YOU USE ACOUSTIC TREATMENTS... | |
| Benz Ruby 2 vs. Van Den Hul Frog I'd pick the Ruby 2. I have the Lo4 right now, and will be happy with it for a couple of years, anyway. I can't say I like your arm, I just don't trust those wires to provide the correct antiskate. If you are getting it to work, more power to you,... | |
| Best Interconnects for under $300 pair Glad to hear a supportive opinion, hifiguy. | |
| Sound-stage, imaging, focus...... Back in college in an astronomy class, we had this portable mini-planetarium demonstration. It was a half sphere "tent" about 15 feet diameter, kept smoothly inflated with air. All of us students sat around the circular edge, where the dome met th... | |
| Best Interconnects for under $300 pair My vote is for a used pair of MIT 330 Shotgun, (however, if you need balanced, those would be more than $300 used, but well worth it). The balanced ones are better than everything else I've tried (except 350 EVO), and I've tried most of them. Don'... | |
| Input Impedance for Power Amp Tell me more about the guy with the ribbon speaker, red strawberry guy. | |
| Gold CDs sound Darker? I tried to answer you earlier, but every damn time I want to post something, Audiogon's server somehow crashes! Give me a break, you dunderheads! I don't have the particular CD's you are referring to. Go to bedini.com for more on it. Basically, it... | |
| Best Power Conditioner Chang Lightspeed 6400 CLZ, but the PS Audio may be better. Those can hum really loudly, though. | |
| BEST POWER CORD FOR UNDER $200.00 David, you've already made up your mind, but I'm gonna tell you my opinion of the HT 11 cord anyway. I tried one for 3 months, and didn't prefer it to my amp's stock Belden cord, and preferred the MIT Z-Cord 2 on my CD player. I'm still looking fo... | |
| Sound-stage, imaging, focus...... I don't feel that these descriptive terms are limited only to audio, and feel that what your are hearing at the actual event is more diffuse, because you are further away, further back into the reverberent field than microphones usually are when m... | |
| Cartridge info Why can't you just e-mail the manufacturer for the specifications? | |
| 24/96 Format Well, if you're going to be that agnostic about the Golden Age recordings, I doubt there's much in this hobby for you. Good luck getting what you need out of it, though, really. | |
| Last CD purchase; M.L. 39 or Wadia 850? This thread is about CD players with volume control, not DAD players (since neither the Wadia or Levinson are DAD players). No, I've not heard the all-in-one Camelot, but if you're trying to tell me it sounds better when playing CD's than the CD50... | |
| 24/96 Format The CD format is still only a 16 bit/44.1 kHz sampling frequency, format. That said, it is always tough to get the very most out of the format. Certainly, the better the resolution of the master tape, the better the resolution of the CD, its own f... |
