| Recommend an "adiophile worthy" pen? A Pilot G2 Limited is a great everyday pen. Very fluid ink delivery with a good hand feel, all for around $12! Have always liked the Caran d'Ache-Metwood, reminds me of an upper level Clearaudio deck. | |
| What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam? Have added 2 HiDiamond P3 cords to my system. Both are in wall, one on the Valve Audio Predator the other on my RSA Elgar. The results are what I have wanted with midrange clarity/detail being the largest improvements. As others have stated in thi... | |
| Any good FM tuners around for less than $200? Might be able to find a NAD S400 if you want a "newer" tuner. | |
| Seeking some guidance on Sinatra Rpeluso-The OP asked for our opinions not you! | |
| Seeking some guidance on Sinatra Sinatra at the Sands is one of his best. Some of his later Capitol releases are overlooked with Nice 'n' Easy being the best. Ol' Blue Eyes is Back(73') IMO is his last worthy studio recording, even if it's a little schmaltzy. | |
| So......what do you use under your speakers? Another vote for Symposium. I'm using the entry level Segue platforms with Herbie's spike decoupling/gliders under my Focus Audio FS8's. The results are better bass definition and a more focused soundstage. | |
| B&W 803d and Luxman L-505ux Don't sell yourself short... there is no foolproof method in amp/speaker synergy! IMO the 803D is probably the best $$$/performance B&W model, although I have not heard the CM10. The Luxman 505ux IMO would fall short in power/current and resol... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase Is not saying anything a form of deception? | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? I just heard Argent "Hold Your Head Up" on ATT Music Channel and then found out they never had another charting US single. "Hold Your Head Up" peaked at #5(Billboard)in 1972. Not sure if it was mentioned in previous posts. FWIW could anyone commen... | |
| Should I trust movers with my equipment? Most movers have a hard time NOT damaging furniture! | |
| So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? I would upgrade the speakers. The Thiels need more power/current to perform at there best. IMO the 1.5's don't justify spending more money on an amp/pre or even a larger Bryston intergrated. Since you like the Thiel sound think outside the box(lol... | |
| Italian speakers:Sonus Faber,Chario,Diapason,Opera The problem is other then Sonus Faber the other 3 don't have many US dealers. Even if a dealer has heard them at various shows, they usually won't talk/praise about what they don't sell. Contact Audiowaves since they sell both Opera and Diapason. ... | |
| Most underrated composer of 20th Century? Sir Arnold Edward Trevor Bax. | |
| "Slam"--what is it, is it really accurate? I don't believe "slam" can be accurate unless you have the very best components and a very tweaked(professionally) listening room. Even with great speakers that i've heard several times... IRS-Omega/KEF 207 I felt the "slam" was compacted and slig... | |
| What is my weak link? Have never heard the Dynaco 25XL but I assume the speakers are at least 30 years old? Even if speakers are the most flawed audio component, IMO loudspeakers have made the most advancement in sound quality over the last 30 years. |
