| 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... | |
| Sell King Cobra s and buy F I M Gold ? I was introduced to the Powersnakes line through a friend who has King Cobra V2 throughout his system. I own a KC and 2 Vipers in my system. Recently this friend emailed me to inform me that he had found something better than the KCv2. Acoustic Ze... | |
| Finally gonna buy new speakers, ideas? I would second the suggestion for Dunlavy. I too own the Aleph 2s and they Drive my Dunlavy 4s very well. I have also used the Alephs with my Meadowlark Kestrels (their least expensive model) they have some higher priced models too. The sonics of ... | |
| Harm. Tech. Pro9 or Anal. Plus Oval9 Jay, I have owned both the HT Pro 9 and Analysis Plus Silver Oval. I prefer the HT to the AP. To me the HT is more neutral and truer. The AP as Gunbei has mentioned is state of the art in soundstage width, the HT is also excellent in soundstage wi... | |
| PC s and/or conditioners etc for BAT I have the VK150SEs and use the Shunyata Viper V2s on them plugged directly into the wall. I use a P300 on my front end. I did try a Sound Application CF-X line conditioner with everything plugged into it and I can say that it is fantastic, among ... | |
| Best Tube Amp under 10K? I also agree with the BAT recommends. I have the VK150SEs and couldn't be happier. | |
| One Channel Lower Output With XLR Cables I had the same problem and it turned out that it was one of the cables. | |
| Mark Levinson 39 My advice is to consider the Meridian 508.24 and Wadia 860 or 861. you can get the Wadia for about the same price used, and I have had both and I think the Wadia is a lot better, but it is a taste thing. The Levinson is more laid back, while the W... |
