| Power cords and soundstage Newbee, what evidence do you have that phase IS a potential answer to the sonic changes when the man says he replaced/moved two power cords and heard a difference? What cables are you using in your system? You have excellent gear. I don't see any ... | |
| Power cords and soundstage Newbee, No pot shot intended at all. I was just incredulous over your post. You began with a put down of those who suggest there's large difference to be had via different PCs, and you ended with a nebulous description of changing a source, and th... | |
| Power cords and soundstage Newbee, HUH? You said, "this weekend I made a change in my system which amounted to only removing/changing a source..." and you seem surprised that the sound was different. ONLY a source change? You talk as though swapping the source won't effect ... | |
| Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers? Jmcgrogan, it's interesting how your preference in music changed, along with your equipment. I think this is pretty common. Do you recall your rig when you had the Legacy's in it, and your rig now? It would be interesting for us to see them both l... | |
| The Perfect Speakers for Jeff Rowland Concerto Int Having gotten to know Jeff a bit through review of his Capri and 501 Monos, I believe he would suggest there is no such thing as "perfect" speakers for any component, which is one reason why he would not make a recommendation. Too many gear combos... | |
| Recommend analog sounding CDP with volume control. Stumped, no. The issue may have nothing to do with the cdp. It may be cables (very possible), and it may be the aluminum dome tweeter (also very possible). Of course, the cdp also might contribute. Let's assume the speaker is not the issue, since ... | |
| Idiotic Vertical Biamping Question Steve's answer doesn't surprise me at all. I recommend bridging AND biwiring. Like Reeses; two great things that taste (sound) great together! :) | |
| New owner of used Cary 306 SACD Deliberate1, just last night I had a chance to hear the Anticables for the first time. A very kind local audiophile allowed me to come over and hear his rig. He runs the introductory Prima Luna integrated, a Lector cdp and Von Schweikert VR-1 moni... | |
| New owner of used Cary 306 SACD Deliberate1, nope. No comments. Haven't worked with either one. Each company has its own "science" (some with what seems to be very sensible science, and some less so) behind their design. Magnan Cables uses an extremely flat "sheet" of copper as ... | |
| New owner of used Cary 306 SACD Deliberate1, you will find aftermarket cables, including power cords an "ear-opening" experience! Some Impressions of cable sets I have reviewed (you can find extensive descriptions of them on Dagogo.com) Note that this is a summary of working wit... | |
| New owner of used Cary 306 SACD Watch your cables - power and IC. You have the type of system where you can get good benefit from proper matching. You should be able to hear differences easily enough. If you don't care for the sound madly, then try one or two different power cor... | |
| Best Integrated, period. While it may not be the "best" in absolute terms, the set of two Pathos Classic One MkIII tube hybrid integrateds running in Mono mode are wonderful. I have not encountered another amplification scheme quite like it, nor one that sounds quite like... | |
| Ever feel like we are going nowhere here? Excellent! | |
| Ever feel like we are going nowhere here? Chad, hopefully your wife is not battling some chronic condition which is deteriorating. I hope she is blessed with healing. No one finds fulfillment in audiophilia, and little things can be more bothersome when facing life situations like that. H... | |
| cambridge 840c as transport See my reviews on Magnan, MIT, Tara Labs, Jena Labs and Wire World lines. These brands tend to have a consistent sound - "house sound" - between their ICs, speaker cables and digital cables. Glancing at the reviews, you may find one that seems to ... |
