| 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, ... | |
| Best blank CD-R I have tried quite a few diffrent brands, and I have always thought the TDK 74 minute for computer brand sounded best. I think there is a diffrence between the 74 minute and the 80 minute brands even. I was answered in a similar post a few months ... | |
| Coincident Cables Experiences? Any Good? I got a set of the interconnect after all of the hype I was hearing about it. I too think it is a good deal at 300.00, I am however at a loss for understanding how one could hear it as superior to Quattro Fil. In my system Quattro Fil is in every ... | |
| Dunlavy SC IIs I think I can be of some use here. I own the Kestrels as well as SCIVs. I listened to SCIIs originaly which is what got me on the Dunlavy kick. I think you would be very disapointed in the bass that the 2s will give you compared to the Kestrels. I... | |
| Aleph Owners and Users... I owned the 3 and then got the 2s. Surprisingly the 2s are not that much more powerful than the 3. The bass was fuller, and I could play a bit louder. As far as improvments that's about it. I think that the 3 may edge out the 2s in transparency, t... | |
| What to listen to. BAT, ARC, VTL I second the suggestion for BAT VK150 SEs. They are great at everything. I would guess that they would mate especially well with the Vandersteen 5. | |
| Upgrade Time Again.... please help I recently upgraded from Pass Aleph 2s to BAT VK150se amps. Your description of wants is word for word how I would describe the performance of these amps, the imaging is especially noteworthy. | |
| "Kid A" the new "Dark Side @ Moon" ? Ben, you can buy A beautiful place in the country from cduniverse.com, I checked it out and they have it. |
