| Speaker Cable upgrade Fellas, you make just as many blind assumptions about me as you think I make about you. All I am doing is defending my point of view, and it's not angst in the least. Ignore me if you like, but I'm full of insights that you can't possibly imagine... | |
| Who buys original RCA and Merc LP's? Thanks for all the feedback. | |
| Best CD player now made. SACD does nothing for CD, and I'd put the CD-50 up against any SCD-1, any day... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? If D'Agostino said to jump into an empty swimming pool, would ya? IT IS THE CABLES, so get over yourself. You're just biased against Krell, and don't have the guts to admit it, dude... Dan has been wrong before about cabling, and we all forgive hi... | |
| Best Audiophile recordings I like Rock, Classical, and Jazz in that order. That said, the best recordings worth owning are the reissues on vinyl from Classic Records and Analogue Productions, pressed by RTI. The Decca, EMI, and Speaker's Corner reissues are very close also.... | |
| Speakers for Plinius 8150 You should definitely get the speakers first, and amp later. BUT AN AMP IS NOT "ESSENTIALLY JUST A CABLE". That's the most dumbass thing I've heard in a while, heh heh heh... | |
| Classe or Bryston? Us agressors need to stick together on here. There's far too much politeness going around! I don't have an HT setup, but Krell makes better amps than anybody outside the US, except maybe Burmester. DEFINITELY BETTER THAN ANY COMPANY FROM CANADA!!! | |
| Speakers: all-time favorite But those cost more than my Paragons, and I doubt they're much better, if any. | |
| 24 bit 96khz. whats the deal? Upsampling is what really makes the difference. If you ever look at test bench measurements, the best quality dual differential 20 bit DACS still have a definite performance advantage over affordable non-upsampling 24/96 DACs like the standard MSB... | |
| Biwire or Jumpers: which is better? Isn't a Red Kiwi a strawberry? Anyhoo, I agree with much of what you say here...BUT ISN'T THIS "PSEUDO SCIENCE"? I thought you were against pseudo science? (NOT that I think what you've discussed here IS "pseudo", but you seem to use that as a cru... | |
| audio racks and power amps I was in a similar situation with my Krell KAV-250a. It's definitely better to not let it get ANY hotter than it does when outside a rack, even if it has no sides or back. (Mine is that way as well...) | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? To Audionut: The right cables fix the problem of "details being too forward". To "Uliver": You have to decide for yourself. Which is better, MAKING YOUR OWN DECISIONS, or doing what others do FOR THE SAKE OF FOLLOWING THE HEARD? Or doing what your... | |
| ML Aerius I, Moon W-3, Wadia 830 Hello Gretchen! You don't run across women audiophiles everyday. | |
| Speakers for Plinius 8150 As I've said elsewhere in discussion, the Paragon Acoustics Radiant is an extremely good value at $2850, more so than the Regent. I don't have Plinius, or even an integrated, but with my Krell KAV-250a, I measured peaks of 98dB at a listening dist... | |
| Phono stage amp I don't have this one, but what would be wrong with the ARC PH-3 SE? Would it not be good enough? |
