| Transparent Ref XL Kennyt.Quote from TA's website:"Any OPUS MM, Reference MM, Reference XL or Reference cable with MM Technology is eligible. (Please note: Cables with XL or older Technology cannot be updated due to differences in cable stranding design however, t... | |
| Transparent Ref XL Kenny T,Maybe they tried to bamboozle me, but I did actually inquire about "updating" the Reference with XL to the latest series at that time and the response was that it would be $4k - $8k depending on what I wanted to "update to". My assumption ... | |
| Driving a Thiel Dave43 is right, so I will go ahead and be the fourth to tell you that your receiver is a poor match for these fine loudspeakers. Not to say you shouldn't follow Cmalak's advice and get the Thiels of your choice and then move to better amplificati... | |
| Jazz vocals recommendations please Etta James "Blues to the Bone" will blow your socks off. | |
| Jazz vocals recommendations please Just bought two Eva Cassidy CDs. Phenomenal sound and music. A must add to the list...Merry Christmas!! | |
| Ayre KX-R Lucky you :)Merry Christmas!! | |
| Jazz vocals recommendations please Tomcy6,I just bought the Hope Waits CD and agree that the similarity of her vocals to Norah Jones is uncanny and also that I prefer her to Norah.However, I found the sound of the Hope Waits CD to be a bit sterile and thin (just as with Norah Jones... | |
| Jazz vocals recommendations please Second the Holly Cole and Tierney Sutton and, of course, the classics mentioned too, but the BEST piano jazz vocal has to be Shirley Horn, "You Won't Forget Me". Been using it for a reference for years. The sound quality is superb and the performa... | |
| Krell KAV-400xi impressions Hi Carl,There is no Krell 300xi, only a S-300i. I have one (I use it in my Home Theater in HT bypass mode to drive my Thiel 2 2 rear speakers). It is well constructed and has the requisite high-current Krell power supply. The metal remote is nicer... | |
| Dedicated Circuit - Quad Receptacle Question Yep, best to have two dedicated lines, one for analog and one for digital, as long as you (and your electrician) follow Jea48's recommendation to place both on the same phase of the electrical service. Also, have the electrician move the circuit b... | |
| Transparent Ref XL I own the same vintage of Transparent Reference with XL interconnects, which I bought new from an authorized dealer in 1999, thus making them eligible for the Transparent factory upgrade program. A couple of years ago, I inquired about upgrading t... | |
| New Audience Ultra High Resolution Adept Response Of this group, I have only had the RTP-6 and the SR Powercell 10SE in my system. The fact that the author of this review preferred the RTP-6 to the other contenders (excepting the Bybee) tells me a lot. It is a nice conditioner, but largely has th... | |
| Is Michael Wolff still making power cord? Dpe,I compared the TelWire PC to the Tesla T2 on my Ayre CDP a while back and preferred the TelWire in that position at that time. It is indeed very good and Chris Kline, owner of TelWire is great to deal with. The TelWire PC has Oyaide 004 plugs ... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Scottmac62,The break in is exactly as Tbg states. I found that, in my system, the Powercell 10SE benefits the most from the G-MPC, followed by the Precision Reference speaker cables, Apex and Precision Reference ICs, REL Spec 2 cable, and Hologram... | |
| krell 202 or pass xp20 Based on this review, it would be good to stay within the Krell family and use the CAST connections:http://www.stereophile.com/solidpreamps/1206krell/index.html |
