| Anyone own or listened to this cd? Nod to Bob is a great compilation. My favourite track is "Boots of Spanish leather" by Martin Simpson, a truly great British folk singer and even better guitarist, who is'nt known in the US as well as he should be. I like the idea of an album devo... | |
| Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p? I have never been a Wilson fan, but had a powerful lesson why recently at a small show in England. I entered the room and the Sashas were being driven by a large Krell stereo amp, I am not sure which. Brittle, edgy, hard and quite unpleasant sound... | |
| audio research REF 150 I went to a small UK show, run by one company 2 weeks ago and it was one of the best I have been to. It even had Dan D'Agostini talking about his momentum monoblocks. To get to the point, 2 of the 4 rooms had ARC amps, both the reference 150 and 7... | |
| Could they sell a high-end amp without the fancy You do need a minum quality casing, or the sound will be impaired. Take Conrad Johnson for example. I used a premier 17 Pre for a few years and very good it was too. However the thin, resonant top plate did'nt do it any favours at all and needed s... | |
| Etiquite Regarding Response Times to Offers I am sure one reason for a slow response, is the seller is negotiating with an earlier bidder. I agree though, in that instance I would reply and say that is what is happening and I will re contact them when that negotiation is complete. | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? What an interesting discussion, I only understand one word in 10, but still, interesting. My 2 cents worth, does'nt the fact that cables sound different and most of us would agree they do make a difference to sound, mean that none are perfect? You... | |
| Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cable..what a delusion If your using Virtual dynamics ICs, why not stick with the same company. When new, I think they were ludicrously overpriced, but now they are quite reasonable. I use single wired Revelation cables. They were about £5000 new, I got them for £600. T... | |
| Aging and Treble and Income? I went to a small UK show in Southern England, graced by Dan D'Agostino, no less. He gave an interesting run down on his new Momentum amps and very new Pre amp, appearing over this side of the Atlantic for the first time. The 2 "High End" rooms, h... | |
| Replacing Virtual Dynamic speaker cables Thanks for all the helpful advice guys. I did what I should have done in the first place and asked lou hinckley the guy who designs my speakers and he suggested a Wiwires cable, developed for the Daedalus speakers and those are on order at the moment | |
| Speaker recommendations, budget $10-15K Another vote for Daedalus, but I would say the smaller Athena or DA-RMa's, that I have, would be a better fit and match your budget better. My prior speakers were Acoustic Zen Adagios and good as they were, the Daedalus were in a different league.... | |
| Album which you have listened to most? joni Mitchell "Blue"Puccini "La Boheme" Beecham version on HMVSara K "Waterfalls" | |
| Is there a perfect speaker? What everyone else said. Speakers more than some other parts of the chain, all have mutually exclusive choices. I love my Daedalus DA-RMas and the test, as others have said, is that I don't want to stop listening and wonder sometimes, what better,... | |
| The usual suspects: S1, Cirrus, Tempesta, MMM1 Another one to consider, that shoots well above it's price band, Fritz Carbon 7's. I just bought them for my son band they really do sound very good and are well made at this price point. Fritz is a great guy to deal with and thay are available on... | |
| Replacing Virtual Dynamic speaker cables Thanks for all your replies, the CT1's look interesting | |
| Replacing Virtual Dynamic speaker cables Quite right about the "bass", the penalty of not checking properly before posting."Not so good for daily use", is what we call a figure of speech. Back to the thread, thanks for the suggestion of High Fidelity Cables, Calloway. |
