| Klipschorn-Klipsch-The Loft NYC They are the same but not very acurate, just loud. Listen to some EAW's, Bag End's, or Meyers speakers to compare. They are pro speakers but they are more smooth and flat the KHorns. May want to soften the room with sound treatment because all har... | |
| Cable for vintage Rotel tuner I don't know about radio being an equal to other sources at least in the US but a good warm cable would be Transparent. The best cable I have ever heard tyhat has more extention at both ends of the spectrum that the Transparent and is detailed wit... | |
| Need Advice on a DAC for my Music Server? Lossless PC music is still compressed and won't come close to your Naim no matter what DAC you use except maybe for a Nagra, DCS, or Bermeister. (none of these can be had for $1500 except for the remote).The bel canto dac2 is bright and lean so I ... | |
| Carbon and silver conductors Carbon and copper are great for audio cables but silver isn't. However, Silver is great for power cables and copper is quite good. I have not played with carbon fiber for power but I know it would tend to starve large amps. Only thing it should do... | |
| Should Rotel be ok to drive Totem Forrest? Hello, I am a dealer of both and the match is quite good. I would also listen to Arcam on the Totems. Parasound amps are good too as long as you don't use their pre-amps.Another good brand on them ius Musical Design. | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System "anecdotal evidence is not sufficient" Call Dr. Floyd Tool, director of National Research Council in Canada. He only believes in specs and he will tell you I heard all the differences presented to me, well at least 96% of them. | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Come to my store, I will show you differences. My biggest customers for cables are the engineers that told me cables can't make a difference. Some of them are on this sight as believers.Fact still remains that we only know how to measure 50% of wh... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Oh, one more thing I forgot. Brizonbiovizier, if you are using filters on your speaker cables you are greatly reducing the frequency extension of any cable used and it wouldn't surprise me at all that you hear no differences.It would be like tryin... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Everyone, I would like to expand on what I said do to the post Brizonbiovizier made. I wont repeat some things so just read my post to bring you up to speed on my opinions.Cables make a huge difference IF the components in your system are well ma... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System The reason cables cause as much controversy as politics is because most companies that have a great sounding cable made it by accident and can't duplicate the performance in other models because they don't know how. I have heard expensive cables s... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Larry, didn't mean to upset you. I was pointing out that there are several ingredients to a live performance that remind us of the event. When a sound system reproduces the one or two things that are most important to you then you are happy and to... | |
| CD-ROM Transport I guess CD ROMS are designed for speed in data reading (and going 2 directions) I would say the drive needs a controler that will set speed paramiters OR computers use buffers to keep info in memory and play it back at the proper speed. | |
| Crazy Downstairs Neighbor I do admit myself that Benz is extra warm in the bass but I love them over all because in that price range there are a lot of thin sounding tables and arms ie. Rega and Clear Audio.As for the thread leader, you could also put 2" thick marble all o... | |
| Extremely budget minded system for under $500.00 ? Good basic cables, even older ones do make a big difference. I loaned some Audioquest IC's and speaker cable to a guy that had a Kenwood rack system a few years back and the $70 worth of cables I loaned him doubled his sound quality.He got too exc... | |
| Best undiscovered speakers on the market today ? I admit it is easier to get excited about a $5k speaker that sounds like $40k than a $40k speaker that sounds like a $45k speaker. |
