| Replacing the stock power cable of the TT I agree that power cord upgrades should make little difference. I had a spare cord and put onto the very competent power supply to my TW acoustic Raven one turntable. It did indeed give a clear, audible improvement in sound quality to my ears, bet... | |
| Power cables for ARC Reference 75 They do of course, include a 20amp cord. How good it is, that's another matter. On that subject, does any expensive piece of kit, come with a really top flight cord? How many electronics companies, can also produce great cables, not many? I suppos... | |
| audio research REF 150 I went to a local dealer recently and had the chance to compare the new VSI75 integrated, Reference 75 and reference 110 with KT120 valves. I was hoping to get away with an integrated instead of the Reference 75, as the former is said to have simi... | |
| Your Favorite Cover Songs? Shawn Colvin "Guitar Town" on cover girl. All the songs are just great on that CD, but I really love that song, so it has to be the best. | |
| Sara K SACD vs. XRCD If she has retired, I wonder how Stockfisch keep coming out with new CDs. Perhaps they are old recordings | |
| Efficient Floorstander I second Dodgealum and Daedalus, I understand about your price limits. We both answer threads regularly and recommend Daedalus. They are simply great speakers and my DA-RMAs are staying for good. I changed from Acoustic Zen Adagios and I can recom... | |
| Favorite lp of all time Joni Mitchell "Blue", helped me get through my teenage angst years and still a favourite | |
| Power cables for ARC Reference 75 I use, Virtual dynamics master and Artisan Silver interconnects. | |
| Power cables for ARC Reference 75 Very useful, thankyou guys. I had not heard of Sainline | |
| What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle? Off subject I know, but I am just listening to a wonderful live BBC Promenade concert of Mahlers 2nd by the Bavarian Radio Symphony, conductor Mariss Jansons. I don't know if you colonials can get quality internet feeds or Radio transmissions of t... | |
| If you solicit offers, shouldn't you respond? It is not a matter of being offended, or upset by rudeness. I agree it is simple good manners to reply and courtesy and manners matter. I would reply courteously to a ludicrously low offer even. | |
| How do you organize your LPs? Oh the unanswerable existential questions, the questions that have no answer. I presume we have all seen the film High fidelity. One of the questions that proves women are from Venus, men are from mars, or is it the other way round?. Women will ne... | |
| Do power cords make a difference? Only Golden retreivers surely. No it does'nt seem logical, I know the arguments against it, but whenever I have tried a new cord, it changes the sound, not always for the better. My current and probably long term favourites as I am not trying any ... | |
| ARC vsi75 versus ARC reference 75 I should have added that the dealer had a second hand Ref 110, with K120 valves fitted, which is said to bring it close to the Ref 150. We compared the other 2 amps with the 110. The result was much closer, but I still preferred the Ref 75, a rich... | |
| ARC vsi75 versus ARC reference 75 I agree, I would have prefered to have heard it with the LS 17 or LS 17SE, but needs must. I still feel the difference was so dramatic, that much or most of it, was down to the amp itself. The dealer will come and install it and hopefully will bri... |
