| Audience Au24 vs Empirical Clarity Speaker Cable Well, I just happen to be a magician!I have not heard Valhallas, but I did just purchase HMS Gran Finales and they are worth every penny. Are they better than Valhallas at half the price? Don't know, as I said, I haven't heard the Valhallas, but i... | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? This was just regular old white Styrofoam. The hard stuff. Well, it's not really hard, you can dent it with your finger, but I had several blocks that were used as packing material in a box that was just shipped to me. My suspicions as to why it w... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hey, I think I read a post here some time ago about the suggestion to start a Supratek forum somewhere.It could be done easily in Yahoo Groups and the information on tube rolling and tweaks would be great. I would be very curious to hear what tube... | |
| $150 Transport anyone? I'm always interested in something new, but could you give us some real world comparisons to traditional transports.I am currently looking for a new transport, but a little more info would be helpful. | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? I just read about a tweak using Styrofoam instead of platforms or cones, so I tried a solid block of 3" thick Styrofoam the exact size of my CDP and DAC (preamp and amp also).I placed each component on it's block and the clarity increased dramatic... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century The King ! The King ! The King ! The King ! The King !I can't believe no one said Elvis.Maybe not the best voice of all time (but damn good for the genre) and certainly not the best material, but no one, I mean no one, could sing like Elvis. When ... | |
| What kind of amp? Do yourself a favor, audition the PS Audio HCA-2.I ordered one thinking, "oh well, I'll audition it, but not much $ lost to send it back." I was curious how a digital amp would sound. Well, it didn't go back. I was simply stunned how good this amp... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Aloha Patrick,Trust me, you haven't built your expectations to high!Get some NOS tubes and wait to be initiated.Aloha,WarrenBTW, the Auricaps sound interesting. Might fire an email off to Mick. | |
| Cable Comparison-Stage 1 Viggen - you are Da Man!And you too Gunbei.I am currently looking to upgrade cables and ic's. I have VD Power 2's cryo on 3 components and PS Audio Lab Cable on my amp.I have seriously thought about VD cables all around. Might give Mapleshade a lo... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century And BTW, this thing is drop-dead gorgeous. I ordered mine in Chrome/Piano Black/Gold knobs.I know the gold knobs sounds strange, but they really set things off. I felt like chrome knobs would have been too much of a good thing. I like the way this... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Aloha Slowhand,I am using Svetlana 6L6GC's instead of the 5881's. Several guys on the Tube Asylum have said that the Svet's are really good. I have to agree so far. I had ordered RCA Black Plates, but the consensus on the Tube Asylum is that they ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Aloha Brian,Listening and tube rolling.So far, mighty impressed.Want to spend more time to really flesh things out, but this pre is everything you said it was.BTW, my pre was held up in some customs snafu. It took much longer to get here than it s... | |

| Review : PS Audio HCA 2 amplifier What's a better amp, Ljgj ?An Electrocompaniet 120 ? :)Aloha,Warren | |
| Review : PS Audio HCA 2 amplifier Wrong Ligi,Most of those units are B-Stock units that were used for Beta testing or they are in-store demo's.Kchahoc, I do think some of the problem could be your preamp and your speakers, neither of which is bad. I just think there is a synergist... |
