| Review: Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista SACD CD Player I agree with many of the comments already listed. Any audio company with more than 3 levels of a similiar item or any company introducing units which replace units on the market in less than 3 or 4 years is looking to sell product - PERIOD! As far... | |
| Virtual Dynamics powercords How good? I own a VD Nite Power Cord. It is really excellent and is as good as anything out there and probably cheaper. It is not bright or dark sounding, but the sound of your amp will be muscular if that is where you are planning to use it. I currently us... | |
| Power Cord for Odyssey Stratos Don't know your electronics, but in my opinion, the best PC on the market is the Virtual Dynamic Nite PC. I auditioned one and bought it! These are on Audiogon classifieds all the time at great prices. You can buy direct form VD also and they disc... | |
| Power Cable recommendations for Pass Labs X250 I like the Virtual Dynamics Nite PC. It works with anything and is uncolored, breathes space and pinpoint accuracy into your system. | |
| Solid-state preamp with tube power amp This is unorthodox. It's usually the other way around. Not likely to work well, but I would never say never. | |
| Pass X-350 vs Sim Audio W-5 I agree with the one other comment sent to you. The only thing I can add is this. I recently heard the Sim Audio W5 in a very nice system in NYC coupled with a CJ LS16 and Avalon loudspeakers. I was very impressed. However, Nelson Pass has a reput... | |
| Planning to go analog I do not know these tables well enough to comment, but if you want the least fussy, best tracking, most neutral MC cartridge on the market, I recommend the Benz-Micro Ruby 2. It works well with almost any table. By the way, a general comment regar... | |
| advice on brightness Sorry about your brightness problem. Unfortunately, the cure may be complex since any incompatability between your components could be the cause including your speaker cable and interconnects. You might want to try the Cable Company 1-800-FATWYRE ... | |
| Can B&W Seres 80 802 Sound This Good? I owned B&W speakers for years. Only recently replaced a pair of 802 III's with a pair of Revel Ultima Studios. I sold the 802's to a friend with the Sound Anchors and he recently bought a pair of MIT Oracle speaker wires and I can tell you th... | |
| Bi-wiring/Bi-amping...worth the fuss and expense? Hi! My opinion? Well, bi-amping can be great with certain speakers, but makes little difference with others. Same holds true with bi-wiring - perhaps B&W being a rare "must" even by their own recommendation. Don't forget that some wire mfgs. o... | |
| Dry Stylus Brush - Where to find Hi! The paint brush is a great idea. I used one for years. If you go to an art supply store, you can choose from dozens of bristle lengths and stifness as well. The next best thing might be to contact Benz - Micro and ask if they could supply you ... | |
| need help Unpgrading from CAL Ikon MK II I have an 8 year old Cal Audio Delta Transport. I sold a Krell SPB 32X dac about 16 months ago - this was originally a $3500 dac - and bought an MSB Link Dac III with 96 khz upsampling and added power supply. Only $750 new and I see them ocassiona... | |
| Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W I owned a pair of B&W 802's for years. I think at the price of the Matrix Series 3 they were and still remain a bargain in the high end audio biz. I have listened extensively to the Nautilas 802s and feel the "New" price is not justified. I no... | |
| Floor Standing "Warm" Speaker Chuck, I agree with anyone mentioning Vanderstein 2CE's. Make sure you get SoundAnchor Stands with them. Another speaker you would probabaly like would be a pair of used B&W802 Matrix 3s with SoundAnchor Stands as well. You can get these speak... | |
| Speaker help please for $2000 US Olga, look for a pair of Vanderstein 2CIs or 2CEs with SoundAnchor Stands. Martin-Login Areius loudspeakers are also a great bargain and match well with just about any electronics. |
