| Hydra vs. Ensemble Jeff- I ran a thread asking about the CF-X line conditioner and a guy responede who had tried both the Hydra and CF-X. He thought the CF-X wass better, but probably not worth the extra money. I bet you can find it if you run a search on either Sou... | |
| Powersnakes power cords Yeah I thought the King Cobra on my CD was one of the most startling improvments I have done. I also have 2 Vipers on my amps. Lucky is the man with a Hydra, I inquired about getting one and the wait was 8 weeks. | |
| Hydra vs. Ensemble Jeff- I haven't heard either, though I have been wanting to get my hands on a Hydra, those things are rare and there is a 8 week wait if you want one new. I did demo for a couple of weeks the Sound Application CF-X line conditioner. This thing is ... | |
| Tired of SS amp. Steve- We have almost the same system. I was using the Wadia 860x to Pass Aleph 2s with Dunlavy 4s. I moved on to BAT VK150se tube monos. The BAT amps have better bass and more extended highs than the Pass Amps, while at the same time easier to li... | |
| UPS or should I Say Oooops I am involved in a damage dispute with UPS right now. I sent a CD player in original packing plus double boxed and I added air cushion packing around the unit. I arrived with an internal part unattached and a chip out of the corner. UPS totally ig... | |
| cd players with volume control Acuujim- You really ought to give the Wadia 860x or the new 861 a shot, I owned the CD50 at the same time as the Wadia and it is way better than the CD50 in my system. True you need to run the Wadia at the top end of it's volume output for maximum... | |
| You wouldn t believe it s good, but... Not unexpectedly good but great nonetheless. Two CDs Chris Speed "emit" and Cong Vu "pure" | |
| What s your latest buy? Happy with it? I have had all kinds of stuff in and out of my system lately, cables costing big $ etc... the improvment that is on par with any of the expensive upgrades is Auric Illuminator CD treatment, if they could put that sound in a cable it would probably... | |
| Best Movie Soundtrack Hands down the best movie soundtrack in the history of movie soundstracks is Passion, Music from The Last Temptation of Christ by Peter Gabriel, don't buy anything else until you get this one. | |
| any silversmith cable users? Silversmith is not a production wire. Jeff Smith is the single man behind the name and he hand builds each cable to order. The price is based on how it compares to similarly priced competiion not how much the material itself is worth. | |
| any silversmith cable users? I recently purchased a set of balanced interconnect and two runs of 4 ft speaker cable for biwire. My system is Dunlavy 4s BAT VK150se amps and Wadia 860x direct. For me the Silversmith just didn't satisfy me especially when you consider the price... | |
| Pass Aleph-3 questions David- I had an Aleph 3 for a while and then went to the 2s, and I can tell you if you are looking for a lot more power the 2s may dissapoint you, as they don't really go that much louder. I think that the 3 may even sound slightly better. The few... | |
| Best Silver ICs under 300? I have tried a lot of interconnect lately and the best I have heard that is reasonably priced is Vantage Audio Silver Marina. 245.00 factory direct. They will send you the cable and let you audition it for 45 days before you decide to either send ... | |
