| Why Don't More People Love Audio? I think all the responses are good but here is my take on this. "Exposure, exposure ". There was a time when I thought the little paper woofers in Bose speakers sounded pretty decent and I really wanted a Bose "system". Then I listened to Sony rec... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music This was an excellent post Marlec !! I have obtained very useful information from the respondents. Great and THANKS. For my own contribution, I would add the one and only SPANISH HARLEM by Rebecca. What a voice, it is a thing of beauty. Fur Elise ... | |
| Best preamp for $4-5K used? Hifimeomy: it depends on what qualities you are seeking from the preamp. Sure those are big names but what do "you" want. The preamp creates buffering, tonality and gain. The CJ is going to have a different sound from the BAT VK50SE, probably on t... | |
| Cardas Golden Cros vs. Cardas Golden Ref The Cardas Golden Cross shifts the emphasis to the lower octaves. Great low end detail, but somewhat too much emphasis down below and a little controlling / restrictive of the upper frequencies. Great vocals, sounds like they are coming from a rea... | |
| Cardas cables Just wanted to put my 2 cents in since I have been listening to the Cardas Golden Cross now for 30 days. I think Geoge Cardas put a shot of testosterone in my 10 feet of speaker cable. Perhaps there may even be anabolic steriods between the cunduc... | |
| BAT VK500 - Reliability & sound quality? Just another perspective here. Just how much power do you need ? Bridging the BAT VK60s will give all the power sane ears can take. Just my opinion speaking here, but the BAT customer service is the best in the world ( the audio world) and that ma... | |
| Balanced Power yes, but from ? Thanks (Rberes). That was a good article by Bill Whitlock on "Alternative Treatments and Psuedo-Science". I will be calling then to explore the matter further. This might be a more interesting concept than PS Audio. I wonder if Accuphase uses this... | |
| Airtight amp experience The preamp was a little too relaxed and laid back for me. The build quality looks exceptional. | |
| PowerSnake Owners Unite! OK, admit it, you just bought shares in the Shunyata company, and you are trying to make a killing on the new IPO. Alright, just kidding, I own 4 powersnakes including the revered King Cobra. These cables are quietly getting a cult type following,... | |
| Muse 18 VS. Genesis 900 Sub Is HelloHiFi saying the Muse is better than the Genesis. I couldn't tell but I did infer that he prefered the Muse since he is holding on to his personal sub. The question is: If Muse is so good, why is production stopped ? Crazy audiophiles like ... | |
| Best power cord for amp?? Wait a minute !! This looks like a KING COBRA website, does the world revolve around a KC ? OK, just kidding now, I own cobra and a KC, the KC is used on my CD source. The KC is a revolutionary product. It's like EG's Fatman coupled with PS Audio'... | |
| Best system for opera lover at $30,000 Gee whiz man, $30,000 ?? After the speakers and say 10 feet of NBS Monitor 1 speaker cable, the money is all gone. Isn't the general rule for audio purchase half the cost of the new mortgage or twice the cost of the family car - whichever is less.... | |
| Plinius vs Sim Moon vs Ayre You did not say what type of music you enjoy. Overall, the PLINIUS SA100 Mk3 is hard to beat. Now how much $$ do you have to spend on tubes ?? Tubes will give more lifelike mids and highs, but tubes won't punch you, shake your walls or rock you in... | |
| What AC Power Cord sounds best? OK, now you are think this is crazy, but know something, it is absolutely true. The Shunyata King Cobra is best by a mile. No I don't work for them, they don't even know me. Not only did the King create better dynamics, a more "solid and definitiv... | |
| Best cable for a long, long run? You mentioned "quality cable". You also imply "flexible" cable. On those two alone, the Nordost line of cables would be fine. But then you said "inexpensive" cable. My advice would be to pick up a great deal of long runs off the used market - look... |
