| Best used 500 1m XLR interconnects I have tried a bunch of cables, some very expensive stuff and my favorite is the Silver Ref Acoustic Zen cables. If your system is to bright it might not be for you, it will pass any and all information you play through it. | |
| Meridian CD Players I heard the 506 and 508 head to head at a dealer, and I thought the 508 was substatially better, I had a 506 at the time, and was sorry that I had not gotten the 508 after hearing how much better it was. The diffrences were not subtle and it was i... | |
| AZ Satori - Jumper cables or "Gun" biwired? I have the Satori with the jupers, and like you I was a bit taken back when told that I should go with jumpers. I had ordered another pair of Satori for a diffrent system, and decided to try biwiring my speakers with both sets to see if it improve... | |
| Acoustic Zen Matrix..for me??? I think the Silver Ref is better than the Matrix, but it should be at half the price, more open better detail etc.. I think the Silver Ref is at a much higher level than Pro Silway 2, Matrix is even much better than Pro Silway 2 in my system. I ha... | |
| CDR Fidelity? My copies sound basically as good as the original, in some ways they are better, and in some ways the original is better. I consider it a toss up. I am not using a computer to burn the CDs however. I am using a professional model Tascam CD burner ... | |
| What is your "evaluation cd"? I took a lot of my favorite tracks and compiled them on one CDR, with a bit of everything from solo piano to some heavy electronic, it's really useful especially if you go to a dealer to listen. I can just pop in one CD and get an idea of what a s... | |
| Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet? Yeah Tim, I'm not that important either. I have been waiting prepaid for 3 months, but I guess a couple more weeks can't hurt at this point. My dealer got his and he said that out of the box it was not really that impressive, but within about 5 ho... | |
| With Wadia, pre-amp or no pre-amp I own the 860x and have used it with and without, either the Rowland Synergy or Adcom GFP 750 preamps. In both cases I prefered largley the sound of the Wadia run direct. I think in a word it sounds more accurate and true to the natural sound of i... | |
| Acoustic Zen I have demoed the Gargantua, and thought it to sound fabulous. I was going to get one for my CD player to replace a Krakatoa (a great cord itself) but I have heard that the David Elrod power cords are quite a bit better for about the same price. | |
| Acoustic Zen Pesonally I think the Zen wires are much better than Harmonic Tech. I have owned both full sets of both. The Satori speaker cable is far superior to Pro 9 in every way in my system, the new Hologram speaker cable is better than Satori. I like the ... | |
| Does anyone own a Shunyata Hydra? I have owned 2 Hydras. The other posts are correct the Hydra does "blow away" the Power Plant. However the Sound Application CF-X "blows away" the Hydra, and from what I've heard the Audio Magic Stealth "blows away" the CF-X. You've got a dilema o... | |
| Best XLR cable for Wadia 850? I would check out either the Silver Ref or Matrix Ref from Acoustic Zen. The silver is twice the money. I use the Silver on a Wadia 860x and I think it blend nicely with the slightly laid back nature of the Wadia player. I have tried a bunch of in... | |
| Looking for speaker to match with pass lab aleph3 I had the Aleph 3 with both Meadowlark Kestrels and Dunlavy SC4s. That is a great amp, I upgraded to the Aleph 2s, at 100 watts it is not much more power than the 3. I actually thought the 3 sounded better in most ways than the 2s, except in the b... | |
| Walker HDL's worth it?Anyway to replicate cheaply? I got the Ultra Hi Def links, and I think they are fantastic. It is really noticable and depressing when I remove them. I thought they seemed like a real rip off being really homemade looking. I asked my dealer about them and he said believe it or... | |
| Siltech Help please I had it for a while. I thought it sounded pretty good. It tends toward a full robust sound, slightly rolled off on top and generous in the bass. If you are looking for a little lighter sound were much more detail and presence you might like Acous... |
