| Coincident interconnect opninions I got a set of Coincident new and I hesitate to comment as they only have about 100 hours on them, but I found that right out of the box they bettered AQ Lapis, TARA master gen 2, Harmonic Tech Pro Silway 2. The depth of soundstage with the Coinci... | |
| Which Wadia a better buy in value terms? The 850 sounds like a good deal, you probably won't lose on that one. I have an 860x though I have not tried the 850. Your remarks in regards to the upgradability to 861 is a valid one. The reports of 860 to 861 owners suggests that it is a substa... | |
| Tara Labs Master Generation-2 I own both the interconnect and speaker cables. In terms of detail retreval the TARA cables are not the best. They in my system (Dunlavy 4, Wadia, Pass Aleph 2 amps) have a laid back character, strong bass, excellent soundstage depth, images are a... | |
| INTERCONNECT-advice from knowers! worldcup 86- I got mine used, for 1/2 of retail. They are in my system. Aspects of them are the best I have heard. There is a depth of sound to these that is just amazing. The bass is really strong too. The treble region is a bit to laid back for ... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals I have had the experience that they often sound better with my methods and equiptment used. I think that the blanks themselves make a big diffrence, I have only found one brand, TDK that has produced noticably better sound. It seems to make a bigg... | |
| Question from a Poor Pass owner I left my Aleph 2s on for 2 months, when I was breaking in some power cords. Those use 600 watts at all times, and I really didn't notice much of a change, maybe 10 bucks. I bet you could check with the electric company and they could tell you exa... | |
| INTERCONNECT-advice from knowers! I got the Coincidents today and put them on for an initial listen. They have the best I've heard yet depth to soundstage, images are clear cut and focused. The sound is full bodied, with a slight edge that can become a little fatiging. The do have... | |
| Favorite composer @ favorite work? My current fav is Threnody for the victims of Hiroshima by Penderecki. Amazingly powerful, very unlike most classical though. | |
| INTERCONNECT-advice from knowers! Thanks Carl, I was thinking that Diamond might be the ticket. I recall you mentioning that you were going to audition Silversmith. I was considering this as well. If you did check that out what was your call on it? | |
| Shelf Material I have not heard it mentioned so far, and I have not tried yet, but maple butcher block is supposed to work great. I have tried the sandboxes, homemade and bought and the seismic sinks too, as well as a lot of diffrent footers. Hidiously expensive... | |
| Options besides the PS Audio Powerplants I bought a PS P300 after reading all the great things people where saying about them. I thought it was great, and was very pleased, but the improvment it offers doesn't even come close to what The Powersnakes King Cobra did for my system. I still ... | |
| Anybody knows about NBS cables? Soblast, I am intriged by your statment that Harmonic Tech Pro Silway Mk 2 has great midrange warmth. That is the exact opposite of my experience with it and I consider it to me its greatest weakness. What system are you using these with? | |
| what is everybody listening to right now Slawney- I don't know what equiptment they use, but as owner of all Tori Amos' stuff I can tell you that some of her earlier stuff sounds even better than her latest one. Also in the same vein and better recorded is Fiona Apple's "And When the Paw... | |
| Aleph-3 Questions I have owned the 3 and now the 2 monoblocks. I have found that Black Diamond #4 cones improve the sound considerably. They seem to my ear to tighten up the bass and brighten up the top end a bit. They are recomended for tube amps I know, but I fou... | |
| Best one box 16-bit cd player I have never heard the Linn CD12, but from my experience my vote goes to the Meridian 508.24 |
