| Nordost users....time to upgrade! I guess the place where the rollout occurred says a lot.But in my opinion, gold plated cable is really nothing more than a marketing gimmick. I have a few friends who went with Odin and Odin 2, opened their wallet wide and now regret it. Not that ... | |
| Sonus Faber vs Wilson @keithr Keith, your fiance may have a point if they are going to be center of your main living room. OTOH, the Sasha DAW's or the smaller Sabrina X's can be perhaps 'blended' into the space with a choice of color. I guess I am lucky, I don't hav... | |
| Sonus Faber vs Wilson One quick additional point...why are so many thinking the Wilsons are ugly? I think they look great, plus you can pick a number of different colors to match your decor. The SF's, which all have a very nice look ( i own a pair) are all of the 'trad... | |
| Do small preamp tubes 12ax7 need to be matched? Lewm brings up a very good point when he states that tubes age at different rates. I have always wondered how tube matching makes a lot of sense when a) the tubes will age at different rates b) what are the parameters that one can say a tube is ma... | |
| Sonus Faber vs Wilson If you like the looks and sound of your SF’s there is little wrong in that. The Wilson Sasha DAW’s are an excellent speaker that can probably bring you more dynamics and bass punch at the expense of some room flexibility. If your room isn’t up to ... | |
| Graceline cable from Black Cat cables @chipdelacalzada To answer your question, yes the Graceline is really in a significantly different performance level to the Coppertone cables, as good as they are. The overall performance level of the Graceline cables puts it in the same class as... | |
| The Doug Macleod appreciation thread @jbhiller Yes, Doug is a monster player... There are a few out there, not getting much attention these days. Funny how some monster players still keep flying under the radar. I know a few myself. BTW, I am listening to Ed Sheeran right now...he's... | |
| The Doug Macleod appreciation thread @jbhiller Not alone! But unfortunately also not in a crowd, by the look of it....too bad. I had hoped this thread might have been a bit more popular, but I guess it jives with Doug's popularity...which is IMO...a shame! | |
| LYRA DELOS IS AMAZING!!!! How acceptable is it to go on a web forum with a preconceived idea, not listen to any of the assistance or suggestions to mitigate the problem that was asked about? Then to denigrate not only the product in question but to also blatantly insult an... | |
| Black Cat Cable's/Coppertone wires are amazing good! Not to take anything away at all from the Coppertone cables, which are as described above, BUT the new line from Chris; the Graceline cable...are a major step up! I replaced my Silverstar cables with Graceline 1...the difference is quite obvious a... | |
| LYRA DELOS IS AMAZING!!!! @jeffvegas -1000...:0( | |
| LYRA DELOS IS AMAZING!!!! You came to your other thread requesting assistance and advice, it was given to you by several well intentioned folk and even the designer of your Delos! Yet you stated that one of the members was essentially ignorant, all MC’s were broken and tha... | |
| Should I switch to a larger room? Bigger is NOT always better IME... The larger room may well be better, but there are a number of variables that come into play. One of the variables has already been mentioned, and that is the ceiling height. If the ceiling height is the same in b... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @rauliruegas Raul, have you heard the Rega RP 10? I ask as I have and while it is a very good table, it is not IMHO in any way better than what I currently have. Plus, I think in some areas, like resolution, the Linn is better. If you are referrin... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @articdeth I think with the Kleos ( and all Lyra’s) the VTF is crucial. i have mine set at the suggested VTF.Thank you, but I will not be experimenting with that. |
