| Lullabies, Anyone? One of the best IMO is Enya's "To Go Beyond" from "The Celts" CD. Her mellow, soothing voice singing doo-doo-doo's, no words, is just perfect for coming down with a babe.But MY son....well, he likes a LOT of bizarre things, from my wifes 60's/70's... | |
| Anyone Own Gallo Due Speakers? I owned Due's for about a year, loved them ! They didn't have quite the power and dynamics in the mid's I love, but the combo of the range of the small sphere's with the CDT tweeter was great.I had driven them with 22wpc tube integrated, and 35wpc... | |
| Real Deal ZU cable WAX, what's your take? Very good question, it's a tough one. With new technology (new DAC's, multiple DAC's in parallel, SACD & DVD-Audio, etc) coming out more and more, buying new may get you more for the same price as used.I suppose it really depends on the specif... | |
| Real Deal ZU cable WAX, what's your take? Never heard the Wax, but got the IBIS. Even out of the box, I noticed a huige soundstage and instrument focus within that soundstage.My midraneg initally was weaker as well, but I would have called my experience dry or too laid back. It has gotten... | |
| Gram Slee Phono Preamp 1,2, OR SE I own the SE, used to own Creek OBH-8. The SE beats it hands down, though I never tried the Creek with the upgraded power supply....Better dynamics, better focus and detail of instruments, a little less subtractive in the midrange.Not a giant kill... | |
| Sony SCD-777ES Power Cables OK, here's a new recommendation at less expensive $: Eichmann Power Express. Just threw this in to my system a few days ago, after "burning" it in using the Eichman power strip and a 150watt light. Tried it first with my Pathos Twin Towers integra... | |
| Inexpensive,ugly and wonderful sounding..... My 2 cents:- I have owned the IC-200D (mk 1 & 2) in the past, thought they were OK, not great. For budget cables, I liked several better (DH Lab's Silver Sonic, Van den Hul D-102 Mk 3 Hybrid, Luminous Audio Monarch Sig's, ZCable Jazz4, Zu cabl... | |
| Sony SCD-777ES Power Cables I agree with Bob52R, for the money (and for all else !), TG Audio makes some of the best. Short of megabucks being spent on Shunyata or the like, the TG Audio SLVR (~$500) may be a steal ! I got a very rare one used, and one went for $410+ here on... | |
| 47 Labs Input Chooser Hi, I used to own one, it IS a nice unit. It has 2 outputs, no muting.One caveat, really not a problem in my mind: the stepped connectors can oxidize a bit, resulting in some noise as you switch.But bottom line, a very nice little unit, though you... | |
| Anyone hear Thiel CS1.6? This has been discussed before, here's the link to my post in the thread, you can go from there....Thanks,Todd.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1017517488&openusid&zzChams_uk&4&5#Chams_uk | |
| Any stores/resellers to buy tubes in NYC???? I second the vote for that store. Steve and crew are great, and they sell some excellent products, tube and SS. Other stores have tubes, but they tend to be the "sure sellers" like Conrad-Johnson or Cary. Check In Living Stereo out, and enjoy the ... | |
| Where does your user name come from? My favorite band, the Chameleons (UK)....Todd. | |
| Best or most profound sleeper product One of 2 post-digital processors: Margules ADE-24, or Taddeo Digital Antidote (Active or Passive).The Margules is built in a cheap plastic case, and does wonders for inexpensive digital front ends (CD, DVD, or Laserdisc). It takes the analog outs ... | |
| Smallest Bookshelf Speaker Worth Listening To Silverline SR-11's or 12's would be my recommendation, Great dynamics for their size, though limited in bass. If you can't afford the Dynaudio's, and don't have the power to drive them either, Silverline is a safe and great sounding bet (I have th... | |
| Bryston BP-25 or Musical Fidelity A3 CR My opinion: stay with the Bryston. Having owned the MF A3CR amp, and heard a fair amount of the pre, it is very good, but I think the Bryston is better, and it will match well with your amp.Bryston strengths over the MF: dynamics, bass, perhaps ex... |
