| Recommend an MC cartridge Regarding Soundsmith I have read about a few bad experiences with very new carts having issues and the owner being left out in the cold. | |
| Recommend an MC cartridge I was considering the MSL Hyper Eminent EX which sells for about $5,500 US. | |
| Discount on Internet order In this case the MSRP from Whest is roughly $10,000 US. And based on this vendor's quote, his cost is $5,500. I have been led to believe that margins on audio equipment are much lower. | |
| Discount on Internet order My bad, I confused 2 models. Still a high margin. It's the Whest 60Se Pro. In the US retail is $10,000, offered for $8,500, apparent cost is $5,500. Brand new, in sealed box. But as a result of the new Whest models I ordered a new Whest Titan Pro ... | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo Uninvited - Alanis Morissette To Sheila - Smashing Pumpkins Dire Straits - Money for Nothing (or almost any of their stuff) | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records That doesn’t make sense. Something cannot be "well known" and undisclosed at the same time. Sure it can. Based on the specs it can be a well known RCM. If I said I'm having trouble with my amp and don't want to say what the make is but it has p... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @hdm yeah all of my TakeFive stuff was cryogenicallly treated (by default by the vendor) and had the optional burn-in (it was cheap, wth). Funny thing, in this thread the power cables were referred to as "stock cables". Whatever. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords No, I have no account on ASR. My room is square but treated and is vastly better sounding than when it was untreated. My McIntosh/Lumin/Pure Fidelity gear seems like it should be able to resolve properly. If my ears are bad then so are the ears of... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords So mclinnguy came over with his cables so we could experiment and see what differences we could hear. Initially we listened to the system as it was, Mogami 3104 speaker wires, Mogami 2549 XLR cables & Powerline 10 awg power cords with Furutech... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Boy the gatekeeping on this cables topic is intense. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords None that I could hear. I've been told that it's because of my shitty construction grade outlet. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords It's working out fine. I've toed them out a touch and moved them a bit closer to the wall, still about 52" from the wall to center of the speaker. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Btw, I returned the Dragons yesterday via Canada Post... same way I shipped back the Transparent cables. I'm not going to accept any more free trials as the cost of shipping & insurance is too much. So far it's cost me $350 Cdn mainly because ... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Ha, it takes no courage to anonymously discuss an experience with strangers. Audphile1 began a little rough but came around and offered some helpful info in the end. I appreciate comments from all, those who agree with me and those who don’t. I tr... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Not when it's a 5 hour drive to your house from the store. Initially he said he would come when the equipment arrived but through our discussions he asked if I was ok to set it up. There was a local rep for Pure Fidelity that came out to set up th... |
