| DC Metro Sorry I missed it, too. Please keep me on the list for next time.David in Takoma Park | |
| Please recommend CD player w/volume under $5500 I run a Granite tube CDP direct to a Spectron Musician III amp to Von Schweikert VR5-HSEs and I just sold a Supratek Syrah tube pre. I tested the system with and without the pre for a good while. I decided to sell the pre because I preferred the s... | |
| Aurios Pro for speakers on carpet I may be wrong, but with speakers, isn't the whole point to keep them from moving when they vibrate, as opposed to isolating them from outside vibrations? I think the last thing to do is to put them on aurios, which would allow the speaker to move... | |
| Power cord for tubed cdp I tested a bunch of PCs about 3 years ago on my Granite Tube CDP Model 657. I liked the Walker Audio Omega Mikro Planar more than anything else I tried (which included Elrod (which I use on my amp), VD Nite, Stealth M-21, Genghis Khan and a few ot... | |
| Audience Au24 Bi-wire or w/Jumper with N803 I like the AU24 very much. Two years ago, I spent a few months comparing the AU24 biwire to a number of other speaker cables--stealth, granite, maple and a few others. Purist Audio Venustas beat out the Au24 to my ear in my system (below), but onl... | |
| Can anyone recommend a smooth, rich CD player? I second Entrope above with regard to introducing a tube if you want to veer towards a richer sound. Re the 508.24, I owned one and a/b'd it against a Granite 657 tube player. I and all who heard the comparison preferred the Granite. It wasn't eve... | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? Karmapolice,If you want to go the PAD route, you might try a set of PAD Venusta speaker cables. Two years ago, I tested them against the Au 24 and preferred them in my system: Granite 657 tube CDP, Supratek Syrah, Spectron Musician II (now III) an... | |
| Von VR4 JR's - Looking for right 5/7 Channel Amp I think that speaker was voiced with the Spectron amp. You might start there. | |
| cd players with volume control I'd look at the Granite 657 tube CDP. I've had mine for a few years and still love it. I've run it directly to Granite tube monoblocks, as well as a Spectron Musician II. | |
| WHAT PRE FOR A SPECTRON/VSR COMBO? Might be tough to find, but I've had good luck with a Supratek Syrah. | |
| amplifier comparison Bump for a great question from Seadogs1. Anyone? | |
| Acoustic Zen Speaker Cables I like the AZ holograms, but preferred the Au24 and Purist Venustas in my system (they cost a bit more, but you may be able to get them used within your budget). Of course, results are system and ear dependent. I used the AZs between a spectron am... | |
| Is there a"giant Killer" CDP ? Trelja mentioned the Granite. I have the Granite 657 tube CDP and have been very happy with it--I've seen them used for less than 2K (and demo'd for slightly more than 2K). I've compared it side by side only with a Meridian 508.24. The Granite sou... | |
| And we strive for..... what ? Dekay,I just finished a couple of books on Zappa. The device is called a synclavier. He loved it, he said, because he could type notes in and push a button to immediately play it back.Part of the love, I take it from the books, is that he had a te... | |
| Which power conditioner for my Musician II ? I ran my MII into a bybee pro. Sounded OK. Sounds a lot better direct into the wall (Elrod 3S, FIM 880 receptacle and dedicated line). The bybee is great for my CDP, but seemed to constrain the amp. Also, power cords make a big difference. I tried... |
