| 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 ... | |
| MISSING THE POINT? Ben- If you like obscure stuff, you've got to check out Wire magazine. It's from the UK so some of the stuff they review is hard to find, but you will read about stuff that you are not going to see in the store (unless it's a good one like Amoeba ... | |
| Power Cords for Spectral equipment Ucmgr- I have a Wadia 860 and the Powersnakes King Cobra powercord was an amazing improvment, it was shocking at how it improved literealy every aspect of the sound in a major way. | |
| Coincident interconnect opninions Trelja- post it post it. We are in exactly the same ballbark and I would like to hear any of the comments you have, especially in regards to the diffs between copper and silver. | |
| Do I have to buy all new CDs? Bravo Blbloom! | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals For the record the gear I use to burn CDRs is outboard gear, ie not done with a computer. I notice that most guys who are dissatisfied with the sound of the CDR are using computers to make copies. Garfish uses outboard gear and he gets excellent r... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Madisonears, Unless you have made copies yourself and compared the diffrences between diffrent brands and recording methods I don't see how you can presume that they don't exist. It would be like me saying that Krell amps are harsh and edgy soundi... | |
| bat vk60 stereo vs monoblocks... I recently purchased the VK150se monoblocks. I did a lot of checking around and there are quite a few comments from BAT VK60 users who have upgraded their stereo versions to monoblocks on the Audioreview.com website. Go to amplifiers section and c... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Madisonears to say that it doesn't matter if it's burned, stamped, gold or silver implies to me that you have either never tried to resolve the diffrences or don't have a resolving system. I have tried all sorts of angles and they all make diffren... |
