| 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 ... | |
| Speaker punishing bass My recomendation goes to John Wall "Constructions I-IV. | |
| Building dedicted listening room I would agree with both posts above. I own both of the the books mentioned and they are very informative. The Master Handbook has a section that is especially usefull in regards to ideal room dimensions. It lists the room proportions yeilding the ... | |
| CF-X line conditioner comments Rrgordon- Thanks for the info. So you have tried both the Hydra and CF-X? Would you mind detailing a bit your impression of both units. I was thinking of the Hydra as well. Thanks in advance | |
| Wadia with or without a preamp ? I run a Wadia 860x direct to tube amps with Dunlavy speakers. I have not really tried a preamp much with the Wadia. I did try an Adacom GFP 750, and I liked it better with the Wadia direct. In my system the Wadia is far from bright, I would even s... | |
| Cable problems Vantageaudio.com, talk to Richard. The Silver Marina would fit the bill nicely. They will send you the cable and let you try it for 45 days before you either pay for it or return it. I found it to be better than any cables I have tried under 1k. I... | |
| Freak Me Out This is album of the year material IMO, but would fit into the freak me out category as well. Jim Black "Alasnoaxis" this albums got everything, most of all though it's jazz. Also anything by Coil ought to freak you out. | |
| New Age, Neo-Celtic, World Beat Music One of my recent favorites in the so called new age category would be Susumu Yokota "Sakura" it's just great. It might be hard to find though. If you can't locate it I'll make you a copy. A couple of others not listed are Steve Roach and Robert Ri... | |
| Any opinions on the Dodson 217MKiiD? I haven't heard the Dodson myself yet. My dealer is so enthused over it that he is sending me one to try. He says that it makes regular CDs sound as good as SACD, which he owns as well. I am really interested in any digital that can make regular C... | |
| Harmonic Tech Pro Silway Mk II ??? I have owned both the RCA and XLR versions. Very transparent with a wide soundstage, rather lean in the mids and bass. Seems like it is very system dependent. A much better cable for less money is the Vantage Audio Silver Marina. Vantage will send... | |
| Interconnect advice I have owned a number of interconnects, and the company I am the most impressed with is Vantage Audio. Their policy is as good as their cables. They will send you the cables to try and you have 45 days to decide if they are right for your system, ... |
