| The most transparent speaker cable Nordost definitely should be tried...I have found their designs to fall into the flawed camp. Not balanced in their presentation. | |
| Does the heat an amp puts out have any effect on the sound quality ? Heat good...cold bad ! | |
| The most transparent speaker cable Audioquest delivers fantastic value and have great transparency while retaining hefty bass. I find MIT DELIVERS the most low level detail with warmth and deep taught bass. Transparent also delivers wonderful balance. Only flawed designs force y... | |
| Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista vs. Krell FBI I responded to the guy who responded to a 7 year old thread...I'm innocent I tell ya...INNOCENT!! | |
| Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista vs. Krell FBI Krell FBI has superior tonal accuracy and timbre...also clearer sounding. Tri Vista is very good but just a smidge less authentic to source. | |
| What in the world is going on..... Simon took a turn to Pablum Street when he went Afro-beat and won those undeserved Grammy's! Peter Gabriel did true African primal music with thought provoking lyrics on Security! Awards? Of course not...there for the accessible trendy hipster c... | |

| Next step up speakers in totem acoustic line from the totem forest? Stick with Forest...Winds will require a sea change in amplification! | |
| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? Demo'd Harberth speakers...ridiculously bad. I grew up with truly great vintage speakers from Bozak...they still sound better than new Harberth's! | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising Just wanted to add my take on Redbook ...PCM based players, specifically Burr Brown DAC 's have always sounded better to my ears. My Krell Cipher sounds spectacular on RB! | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Boulez conducts Ligeti! |
