| Rethm Maarga Impressions. Nd4Speed - could you elaborate on the differences between the Maargas and the Trishnas? I've got an 11x12 listening room and am considering both. Would prefer to get the Trishnas if they can give me everything the Maargas can in my relatively smal... | |
| KR Audio VA340 MKII vs Melody AN 845 I'm looking to drive a pair of speakers that are 87dB into 8 ohms. Considering the AN845 vs the AN211 vs the AN300b. I love sweet, extended, delicate highs and SET magic. Big bass not important, though I do like dynamic punch, macro and micro. Try... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... I just bought three of the P3s and a pair of the D7 interconnects. Very impressed with the sound out of the box to say the least. Am wondering what kinds of sonic benefits folks have experienced with further with break-in on these cables, and how ... | |
| The Trouble with Cartridge Recommendations Instead of spending $1k plus on a new cart, maybe think about upgrading the phono stage, which is the weak link in your system. $1k plus the $500 or so you could get for that GCPH would get you a nice phono stage used that could make that DL103 si... | |
| Zesto Andros PS-1 Tubes Anybody with new experiences to share on this Zesto 12ax7 question? Anybody compared NOS Telefunkens with Amperex BBs, Sylvanias, etc.? I see Tonepub had good results replacing the JJs with EATs - at $225 each, they better sound good! | |
| White Substance on Aja 30th Anniversary Puzzling. The "fine Columbian," to my knowledge, can only be found on side one of "Gaucho." | |
| Anyone who has had a VdH Colibri for over 1000hrs Vusi - Thanks very much for the excellent insight which, to my surprise, was actually somewhat encouraging... I see my Colibri is somewhere between Holland and the US at the moment, so I reckon it'll be another week or so before it's through custo... | |
| Anyone who has had a VdH Colibri for over 1000hrs Vusi - the only thing that scares me more than the idea of filing the threads on cartridge screws is "going through a few" of these things! Seriously, I am interested what you think the differences are between the XGP LW and a regular XGP model? I... | |
| Anyone who has had a VdH Colibri for over 1000hrs Vusi and David12,I just sprang for an XGP LW for my WT Amadeus from High End Broker and am scared to death! I've been told the Amadeus handles the Colibri very capably, and supposedly my K&K Maxxed Out phono stage is a good match as well. Stil... | |
| new Triode Wire Labs rave review at StereoTimes I haven't directly compared the TWL Ten Plus with the Cardas Golden Reference, but I did own both of them at different times. What I can say is that the CGR was completely trounced by the Sablon Audio Robusto. I had the older version of the TWL at... | |
| The best integrated amp for Klipsch Heresy Again - the Heresys are extremely efficient which gives you a great opportunity to play around with some low-watt tube amps including but not limited to SETs, which will give a far more detailed, engaging and magical sound than any hulking solid-s... | |
| How do you tame a Denon DL-S1? Could any of the folks who are pairing the DL-S1 with a Jasmine preamp comment on whether they're doing so with no additional mods or SUTs in the system? I have heard that the Jasmine doesn't sound ideal when the gain is cranked up all the way to ... | |
| Lessloss DFPC Signature VS Sablon Gran Carona I haven't tried the Lessloss, but FWIW the Sablon Uber Robusto ate my Shunyata Black Mamba CX for breakfast. I mean not even close. Far blacker background and taut, textured bass to die for. It likewise trounced a Cardas Golden Reference. Can't im... | |
| Violin/Cello Clasical Music One of my all-time favorite recordings is Slava Rostropovich playing Britten's cello suites 1 & 2. He's good playing anything by Britten, who wrote all his cello compositions with Rostropovich in mind. He also did some great duets with Britten... | |
| Thin Walled Speakers -Tonian, Musical Affairs, etc I'm late to this thread, but I currently own a pair of the Tonian TL-D1s, and previously had owned a pair of high-end Green Mountain Audio speakers. These two designs may very well represent the extreme ends of the spectrum between the resonant an... |
