| "Kid A" the new "Dark Side @ Moon" ? Ben, funny I just read a review of Boards of Canada in Wire magazine, I circled it as one to get. email me sometime and maybe we can recomend some other stuff to each other. ejlif@sunset.net | |
| Best Ambient Music Robert Rich and Steve Roach both have a lot of excellent stuff, I especially liked Robert Rich and Alio Die "Fissures" and Oyuki Conjugate "Equator" | |
| "Kid A" the new "Dark Side @ Moon" ? you might like Sismon Fischer Turner "Travelcard" | |
| "Kid A" the new "Dark Side @ Moon" ? Hey Ben Cambell, wow I'm surprised to see a Susumu Yokota fan on here. I really like that one too. You've got to check out Vladislav Delay "entain" (if you haven't) if you are into ambient. I'd be interested in any stuff you might reccomend to me. | |
| Help in Interconnect cables I have recently done quite a few interconnect comparisons and I came away most impressed by a new cable the Silver Marina by Vantage Audio. Vantage is a great deal, about 250.00 for 1m XLR. Best of all they will send it to you and let you try it f... | |
| Silver I/Cs good match for Planet CDP?? Hi, yes I think silver is your best bet. I have owned a Planet and I found it to be a little laid back, so the transparency of silver should be a great match. I also can recommend a silver cable. Vantage Silver Marina (245.00) factory direct. They... | |
| help with power cord I have tried the Harmonic Tech AC 11 and I thought my stock cord sounded better, so did my friend who I lent it to. Synergistic Master Coupler could be had for about 140.00 used, they are pretty good, I own one and felt that it marginally improved... | |
| Advise on innerconnects I would say that Coincident interconnects lean to the warm side of nuetral, they are very good for the money. Even better though not as warm, but altogether better are the Vantage Silver Marina. They will send them to you and let you try them for ... | |
| Power cords for Aleph amps I added Powersnakes Viper V2 to my Aleph 2s and it made an amazing diffrence, these cords really wake-up the Aleph 2s. If you find the 2s a little subdued and laid back you would really like what the Vipers do. I had a set of Harmonic Tech Pro 11 ... | |
| B&W cdm7nt experiences In my experience, a good friend owned a pair of CDM7se, they are very sensitive to what upstream components are connected. They really benefit from biwiring as well. He got excellent results with a Jolida tube amp and a Rotel CD Player. Mellow int... | |
| Help me find a smooth solid-state amp? Pass amps are very smooth sounding solid state amps. The Aleph 3 in particular is a real deal compared to what you can get in its price range. It would be plenty of power with your Soliloquys. I have owned the Aleph 3 and the Aleph 2 monos, and th... | |
| Best wires for cost Rackon- Tubes, Trejla, you should check out the Vantage interconects, they have many of the virtues of Coincident but they are just better, and cheaper too. | |
| Levinson 39 or Wadia 830/850/860 ? Lee- here's a snippet from that review I spoke of- "take the excellent Naxos recoridng of the elgar piano quintet for example. I could hear no diffrence in the two machines' extreme top ends despite my know abouth the early rolloff of the Wadia fi... | |
| Levinson 39 or Wadia 830/850/860 ? Lee- There is an excellent comparison in Stereophile May/98 done between the 39 and 850, in the review of the 850. I have not compared the two side by side, but I have listened to both and I ended up buying an 860. Good luck | |
| Best wires for cost I agree that the Coincident is very good for the money. Even better in my system is the fairly unknown and low cost Vantage Audio Siver Marina interconnect. They offer a 45 day money back guarantee to audition them. They are however not the match ... |
