| MIT cables vs. Synergistic Research cables? I've owned a TON of cables, including SR stuff (even Tesla series). I found the Synergistic cables to be one of the few cables that overtly influenced the sound of my system(s)...and not in a good way. The sonic signature was unnaturally smooth, s... | |
| New Speaker Cables for Merlin MME I've found that MIT AVT 1 series cables are out of this world great!! Check the reviews and call Joe at Equus Audio for a trial. | |
| What Cables should I try? Alot of glass wig??? MIT, at least the current stuff is all about texture, detail and dynamics. I heard the Avalon, MIT, Spectral rig at my dealer a few years back and that was jaw droppingly awesome. | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Excellent points guys, regarding room issues....the room will get ya every time, if it isn't factored in and dealt with properly. | |
| What Cables should I try? Owned most of the aforementioned cables...try MIT for 30 days in your home from Joe at Equus Audio and you'll stop searchin! | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Rfogel8, I've owned $4k power cords and $20K plus wires with many 6 figure systems over many years....my meager AC 1 has been around for years and the system I speak of is for my smallish sitting room. I did mention that what one hears is dependan... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 A great power cord CAN make improvements, but to what extent they effect ones perception of the sound is as unpredictable as the individual using it. An MIT power cord will address many aspects of powerline contamination, which will allow the comp... | |
| Krell EVO 302 or 302e I owned Krell exclusively until I purchased the 402, 222 amd 505 system....dry, brittle and lacking in contrast. Tone was warm but somehow less colorful. The sweetest most alive Krell amps were the original FPB's and the KCT. Maybe the e versions ... | |
| IC's and Speaker cables You only have to trust me enough to try the MIT AVT 1's in your system from Joe at Equus Audio...the pricing is 50% off msrp and I'm sure he could arrange for a home trial period. It sounds like you are entering the "cable zone" like I did many ye... | |
| Solid state amp for Totem Model 1`s The Emotiva line seems impressive...let us know your take on the Forest/XPA 2 combo"O) Also, I'd like to mention that moving up the "speaker tree" does not always mean a better or more meaningful listening experience. I owned the $20K plus speaker... | |

| IC's and Speaker cables Get MIT AVT 1 cabling and be prepared to melt!! | |
| Quads 57 - Yep, the Totems access the "soul" of the performance...how much depends on your budget and which Totem is right for you. They immerse you in the soundfield with exceptional harmonic balance and continuity...a must listen! | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Just a sidebar here, I owned the 5400 and then Modwrighted it...just great! Recently I picked up an NAD C565BEE for my sitting room system...I'm blown away! Very fleshed out and sexy sounding with weight and authority..sweet highs. If SACD is not ... | |
| Quads 57 - James63 is so right...anyway, I've owned the who's who of equipment and speakers, both electrostatic/planar and dynamic. My favorite speakers for actually enjoying the music and forgetting about the gear is Totem. I have owned The Winds, Forests, ... |
