30 Years of Perfect Sound?
Hi Stickman451,I'm sure your vinyl sounds nice, you cannot compare your old Sony SACD which was ok in it's day. Modern computers and the development of digital equipment have come along way.I suggest you go and try some rather than forming an opin...

What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers
Mpit,What did you drive your B&Ws with? I know the 801/801d/802ds pretty well. They do need some driving. Bi amping helps depending on the amp. B&W has a "sound" but as to any of the speakers you mention blowing them away, including the ph... 
30 Years of Perfect Sound?
To stop this thread being nonsense we must give more facts.Tmsorosk, Which CD player was preferred in the shoot out with which HD server and DAC?I keep seeing these daft comments. I have yet to hear a CD player sound better than a well set up, mod... 
Best Electrostatic loudspeaker?
Geoff,I understand and agree the quads dynamics are better with all that removed, but could hardly be called great by today's standards. Much as I respect it for its time. 
Best Electrostatic loudspeaker?
Geoff,The original quads were good if you listened a low volume to light music, otherwise you would soon start complaining. Where is the bass? Where are the dynamics?

Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list
Zaphodbeeblebrox,Surely you could ask deep thought the ultimate question? I'm sure then you could work a way to surviving listening to the record to die for. But then it wouldn't be to die for!Your name brings back happy memories Zaphodbeeblebrox....

Hi Ozzy,How would you describe the change in sound? 
What Does Holographic Sound Like?
I would also say that MIT cables seem to have a dimensional quality too. I have only just tuned into MIT and so far they seem to be one of the better cables at depth that I have tried, while keep focus and detail.Anyone tried other brands that do ...

What Does Holographic Sound Like?
To me there is little more satisfying than a reach out and touch type presentation in your room. I have some recordings (old sony classical recordings from the 1960s) that are just like being there. They are breath taking. This is what holographic... 
Capacitor question
Hi charles1dad,I used Duelund both as coupling caps in my tube amp and in the xover. I tried all the usual suspects Mundorf silver/gold/oil/ and the silver/oil, clarity cap ESAs and others. All good.I was advised that the vcap had a slightly clini... 
Capacitor question
Just wait for things to settle before making more trouble for yourself. You need to run signal through the amp for several 100 hours before you can make any decision about the sound. It will be tilted up for some time.Personally I would have gone ...
