Nordost Valhalla Question You might consider Acoustic Zen. I switched from Quattro Fil/SPM and found the Zen all around better for 1/4 the price. | |
Who knows about ACOUSTIC ZEN? Rayhall is right on with the description that it gives you the sensation that there is nothing between you and the music. It also give me the illusion that you get more of a you are there feeling like you are in the same room as the performance, i... | |
Seek Integrated for 1000 dollars, new / used, suggestions? I would go for a Creek 4330 used and spend the remainder on a better CD player. I have owned a lot of amps etc.. and the Creek is darn good. Good luck | |
Cables with the best highs I would suggest you give Acoustic Zen Satori a listen. I have tried many diffrent cables and have always heard strenghts and weaknesses, with the Acoustic Zen it just seemed to be right. It is quite reasonably price too. | |
Equi=Tech or Shunyata / Hydra If you are looking for the king of PLCs, you should also put the Sound Application CF-X on your list. I own 2 Hydras as well as a CF-X, and in my estimation I think the CF-X beats the Hydras. The Hydras do lower the noise floor, but to my ear ther... | |
Harmonic Tech Vs Acoustic Zen I have owned HT Pro 9, Silway 2, and Pro 11 AC. I now own AZ Satori, Silver Ref interconnect and Krakatoa power cord. In my opinion Acoustic Zen is WAY better that Harmonic Tech, not even close. In fact I think it is possibly even one of the best ... | |
Any advise to improve my system I would start by switching from Harmonic Tech to Acoustic Zen, they are about the same price. I have had all Harmonic Tech cables and Nordost SPM and Quattro Fil, as well as NBS Monitor 2. My system just got right with the Acoustic Zen cables, Sil... | |
Who pays for busted stuff? I shipped a mint condition Meridian player and when it arrived it didn't work and had some cosmetic damage. I had argued with the buyer a bit about shipping UPS ground because I think they are rough handlers. He didn't want to pay the extra, so I ... | |
Quattro Fil vs. Siltech SQ80b I've had both, I think they are quite diffrent. I really like Quattro Fil, it's just that in all it's glory it sounds a bit sterile to me. More information gets through the Quattro Fil compared to the Siltech, or just about any other cable, it's j... | |
Need Help with Speaker Cable I have tried a lot of cables in the last year, and the best overall has been Acoustic Zen Satori speaker cable. It is quite affordable as well at 500.00 retail for an 8ft pair. It beats the sound of cables costing 10x its price. | |
Tool - Lateralus Personally I think the new Tool album is quite weak, at least for Tool that is. I would expect something a lot better after 5 years since Anima, maybe Maynard used up all his good stuff on A Perfect Cirlce? | |
Unbelievable Solid State Amp at 2-3k ran The Pass 2 is a great amp, but I think it seems a little less powerful than the average 100 watt amp. I have some 150 watt tube amps that are much more powerful than the 100 watt monos, other than that the Pass amps are awesome in the 2-3k range. ... | |
NBS Monitor 3 IC I can tell you about Monitor 2, I found it to be the best of the laid back variety of cable, that I have tried. It has a weighty bottom end with a smooth midrange and a very slightly rolled top, while at the same time preserving the ambience and d... | |
SILTECH I tried some Siltech SQ80B G3, against my reference Quattro Fil. I prefer the Quattro Fil. To me the Siltech is just a little to laid back, though I have a system that does not have a problem with being bright. Nordost have a snap and quickness th... | |
Carl hears through Diamond Great post Carl, as usual we disagree. I tend to side with John's comments on the Diamond. In my system Quattro Fil is easily preferable. I also think that the Caradas Golden Cross is a very nice cable. Carl, didn't you try Vantage Audio cables? W... |
