| Talon Khorus with no soundstage? With so many great speakers out there I don't know why anyone would waste their time wasting the Talon. The only thing I noticed about how "fast" they are is the speed with which the price on the net dropped from $15000 to under $5000. This is a s... | |
| Speaker recommendations for 2,500 or less? I love the Audio Physic Sparks. | |
| Replace Cambridge Audio D500 or add DAC? In response to the above posts concering the sony sacd players and mods, the mods on my 333es are wonderful and the REDBOOK sound exceeds that of many dacs in the $1500 dollar range. If you have not specifically heard one of the sony's modded then... | |
| Is there any "volume attenuater" You don't need to upgrade the wall wart in the the Creek OBH 10 as the power is only used to run the remote control and motor and has no effect on the signal path which is of course passive. The upgraded power supply does do a nice job on the acti... | |
| I Need an Upgrade Path...Help Please I would recommend changing your speakers and especially getting the MIT cables out of your system and going with acoustic zen. Then moving on to a more resolving cd or sacd player. | |
| Evo owners What speakers work well with your amp? I would look out for the new virgo 3's coming out later this month. | |
| Replace Cambridge Audio D500 or add DAC? I would consider finding a sony scd 9000es and having the modwright mods done $400 - $800 the 9000es has been coming around used $750-$850 or new right around $1100. With the mods this is a monster player with the bonus of sacd and dvd playback an... | |
| Should Speakers come first in a gradual upgrade? I really don't like the Transparent cables. I have done aq lot of comprisons and Transparent was the worst being easily bettered by Harmonics entry level. I believe the digital can be improved also, but you should at least demo some new cables lik... | |

| You were pleased with AP Oval 9 but you upgraded.. The Satori won out over the Oval 9 in every catagory. There was a definate improvement in detail and air. The Satori is incredibly cohesive and portrays deep accurate bass in a way that the oval 9 couldn't match. I just recieved the new Acoustic Z... | |

| New Bel Canto Evo integrated amp? It will be a combination of the eVo 200.2 and the Pre 1 and sell somewhere around $3000. Looks to be a killer amp. | |
| Revel F-30 vs Meadowlark Shearwater "Hot Rod" I have heard the Revels at a dealer and wasn't to impressed. I passed on the sheawaters to buy som Virgos. Which were nice enough but lacked any real deep bass. Then I heard the Meadowlark Heroni's at Goldman Audio in Ct and was blown away. They i... | |
| Gthirteen's Rogue Tempest is HUMMING A power conditioner like the inexpensive monsterpower 1000 will help. Halogens and dimmers possibly the fan control can all add to the problem. I would definately give Mark O'Brien over at Rogue a call he will be the more helpful than any of us at... | |
