| 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... | |
| MIT or Transparent I took my Acoustic Zen cables over to a friends who was using Transparent Refrence. The Zen cables were much better all around, the Transparent was comprable in the bass only. His system sounded dull and lifeless with Transparent and really came t... | |
| Coolest looking speaker ever ? Avantegarde Trio Classico | |
| Ugliest speaker ever? Vandersteen 5s | |
| Von Schweikert VR-8 Hi, I think you should check out the Avantgarde speakers. They blow away the Vs. The Duos would be right around your price range. | |
| Best Power Cord I don't know if it's the best,I haven't heard them all, but in my system the Acoustic Zen Krakatoa beats the heck out of the Shunyata King Cobra. I was comparing them on a Wadia 860x. The King Cobra sounded dark, slow and muddy compared to the qui... | |
| Good Audio System for Living Room I recently put together a system for 500.00 used. After getting all the pieces here, I decided to set it up to see that everything was working and how it sounded. I was amazed at how good it sounded. I myself am spoiled by a 40k plus system, so I ... | |
| What do I do with a FedEx claim denial? Go to your local courthouse and pick up the paper work for filing a small claims lawsuit. Since the package was sent from your adress it is within the jurisdiction of your local court house. Fill it out and have Fed Ex served via certified mail. I... |
