| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Hi Rob,Understood,LOL!I could relate to Jet's comment regarding his wife's preference between the two cables. That's a real life scenario that I certainly understand. Obviously Jet respects the opinion of his wife or he wouldn't have bothered. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price "Not one size fits all"The truth Jet. Your wife I suspect has very good ears. Subjectivity is exactly what it is, no matter how good a product is there will always be different impressions. This is why I reject the idea that something is "the best... | |
| What drives your music and live show preference? Buconero117,Are you referring to rock/pop music? I attend jazz clubs which are overwhelmingly un amplified acoustic instruments. This is an entirely different experience from what you are describing. These intimate jazz venues are a highly valuabl... | |
| You Never Know? Orpheus10,Thanks! I've been a devout admirer of jazz for about 25 years, attending live shows and building a library of recordings. Despite that I find there's always someone who escaped my radar. The depth of jazz is so deep and vast, there's are... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes If Elrog has figured out the cause of the reliability issue causing premature tube failure this will be wonderful news for music lovers. I spent the weekend doing quite a bit of listening using the replacement Elrogs(what a pleasure it was). This ... | |
| Any comments on DAC directly to Power amp with no Congratulations on obtaining the Bricasti M1, much good has been said and written about it. Your Luxman likely has a fine preamp section and that's why you preferred its inclusion in the signal path. It's good to know that you trust your ears. | |
| Snobbiest audio websites Whatsbestforum leans towards the pretentious in my opinion. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Hi Jet,Johnny Hartman/John Coltrane ? oh yeah! I've owned that classic recording for many years and still listen to it regularly. Just beautiful music and what a good choice for emotional connectivity. It must sound terrific through your system. C... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi John, If the purpose of an audio system is to bring music into our homes for the sheer pleasure of listening, I don't see how one could reach any other conclusion. If you're unable to emotionally connect with your music what good is that system... | |
| Pass First Watt models ... confused Agree with Roscoeiii, each First Watt amplifier is unique. They have different design objectives and are not of equal utility with a given speaker load. Some models have NFB and others do not. Some are voltage sourced, others current sourced. 6 Mo... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy,In audio or music listening matters when it's head vs heart, I follow the heart. For me this is one area where emotion trumps cerebral considerations. Choose the capacitor that goes to your heart.Charles, | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD "Too often you have either one or the other" true.The TF RA Box came as close to having it all (driven by Viva Aurora) as I've heard.Charles, | |
| REVIEW: The Fritz Carbon 7 SE +1 Al and Mapman. Rebbi, typically a fine write up. I have heard this speaker at several shows and despite the conditions, and different rooms they always sound consistently very good. If tonykay was unaware of this brand, well that's no longer th... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Andrew,I took a chance on aquiring theTripoint Troy based on the overwhelming enthusiasm at AE, well they sure hit the bull's-eye on that one. I strongly suspect that crowd would love Trenner Friedl speakers if given the exposure to their sound. I... | |
