| Transparent , Kubala , Luminous , or RS Poiema I'm running MIT V1.1 IC's on my Krell Evo stuff now...wow, so freakin real sounding...alot cleaner then the Transparent and so much more compelling than non networked cables I've owned. | |
| Transparent , Kubala , Luminous , or RS Poiema Well, I certainly struck a nerve...I agree with you Jafox and I...Hmm, sit corrected. Yesterday I had an epiphany with cast cables that set my thinking on end! Bottom line is that you need to enjoy whatever music it is that you listen to...I was w... | |
| Appearance of Totem Forest Sounds great....go with the sp-6 and find a nice amp..arc vs series perhaps? | |
| Appearance of Totem Forest Leftyfox...save your money and get the truth links, they are still the most musical IC's at that price point and mate well with solid state. The silway stuff was originaly designed for tube gear. Speaker cables and power cord will be even more imp... | |
| Appearance of Totem Forest The krell 400xi is actually very musical and a superb match for the forests. Transparency, tone color and dynamic swing is excellent! As with other great gear however, you must pay attention and allocate money for proper interconnects, speaker cab... | |
| Personal amp evolution Dfeferman, what speakers and gear have you owned...type of music? Does a violin sound distinct from a viola? etc.. | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? Balanced operation is definately a big deal ultimately, and should be mentioned. As for "the best", it all depends on what your going for...sympnony hall/jazz club or pop/hip-hop..etc... If re-creating the ephemeral nature of live instruments is a... | |
| Transparent , Kubala , Luminous , or RS Poiema Not much mentioned here about systems or setups in detail, nor music used. Are any of you guys concert goers? How far apart are your speakers? How close do you sit? What kind of front end? Balanced or single ended? Have you owned a vast assortment... | |
| Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions? Sounds an awful lot like transparent cables effect on my system..anyone compare them fully broken in? What kind of music are you VD guys listening to?? | |
| BAT to BAT - What's Best? Just emphasizing the point that a remote is not a compromise in a well designed preamp, it will not audibly mask anything important and it offers one to slowly dial in just the right setting for a great performance from the listening chair..where ... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? I had the ref 2mkII and ref 3..I own the 202 Krell now. When used with the 402 amp in balanced mode, it is just about flawless...almost like being in Boston symphony hall! | |
| BAT to BAT - What's Best? Not having a remote or an active linestage is stupid in today's world..the best gear yields nada to the would be purists..I've tried much gear, and all kinds..more problems and less convienance..gee, I want that! | |
| audio reseach ref 3 or krell KTC...? By the way, if you think cast sounds the best...well, maybe you have had a limited experience with high end cablees and equipment...I've done extensive a/b testing with balanced vs cast(including siltech)..cast is average sounding at best. The new... | |
| Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions? Transparent MM baby...if you dare to face the music. | |
| Suggestions for Cables all with Krell For what I've owned..Krell, ARC, BAT, Levinson, wilson, dynaudio, musical fidelity etc.., Transparent allows more of the music and it's dynamic contrast thru without unrealistic emphasis on any particular frequency range! Most reviewers are extrem... |
