| Best Loudspeaker under $5k - MYTHOS -ST I own the Mythos ST and enjoy mine but Definitive gets no love in these forums. I haven't heard enough speakers in the under $5k category to comment. | |
| Is cable synergy important? Lacee I feel for you fella, you got hammered. | |
| Possibile new Integreated recomendation If your budget is like a lot of ours, you probably can't spend much beyond your stated $2500. I would stick with Plinius. If you keep on the look out, 9200's come up for sale fairly frequent and they are very good integrateds and in that price ran... | |
| Treating a small room with diffusers? Thanks Riley, I typically use Google; didn't think of it this time. And I meant "diffusors." But, has anyone heard them work as this fellow states? Can they actually take away from the "dead feeling of absorbtion?"Can they make your room sound big... | |
| Possibile new Integreated recomendation I'm an audiophile that has been almost exclusively into integrateds over the years. I'd recommend Plinius; you always get quality with Plinius. There's an 8150 for sale; I used to have the 9200. Also if you're looking for a very smooth and laid ba... | |
| Modern day female jazz recommendations Samhar I saw your post mentioning Nnenna Freelon. The folks here just don't seem to understand. Finally someone else other than me acknowledges what a jazz vocal talent she is. Her voice is one of the best jazz voices out there today but few membe... | |
| Is cable synergy important? In my opinion yes. There's nothing wrong with mixing and matching cables of course, however I prefer to use one brand for IC and speaker cable. I think this helps to achieve sonic balance in your system. (heard someone say that once and I agree!) ... | |
| Audiomeca Mephisto IIx or BAT VK-D5SE Unless things have changed from a couple years ago, getting customer support/sevice for the Mephsisto will not be possible. They had no distributor or dealer presence in the U.S. at that time. I think you'll be stuck if anything goes wrong with a ... | |

| A new CDP after my Rega Apollo or a new DAC? I will add to the others mentioning the Raysonic cd128 which is one of the players I own. And to add focus to an already very good player, purchase the inexpensive and I'm told, under-appreciated Jan Philps 6922 tubes to go in it. After being reco... | |
| What amp for Mythos ST I have a Blue circle BMPH integrated connected to mine. I agree though that you should be able to go for high quality/low power tube amplification. Sandy Gross demonstrated the STS for a Stereophile reviewer with a Cayin A-50T integrated. At CES 2... | |
| Help Finding my system bright... One thing for sure, with any change you make in your setup you need to be patiient. I realize you're running out of time with a 30 day return policy. I find that a system and cables need plenty of time (days) to sit untouched, turned on 24/7 if po... | |
| Tube Rolling - No Change in Sound Of course if you have a solid state amp, you're going to get the detail and slam for which ss is well known. But if you don't like the sonics, you'll have to roll the whole amp!Nsgarch (System | Threads | Answers)I laughed at that! Good one Nsgarc... | |
| Which James Bond Theme Recording "Diamonds Are Forever" (Shriley Bassey) drips with style and class and has always stood out for me among all Bond themes. Also by Shirley Bassey, "Goldfinger" deserves mention as another Bond theme song with great style and class. In fact I believ... | |
| Lessloss or MAC PC's w/ conditioner???? The Lessloss DFPC did not work well with my PS Premier, period. I would not use it with any conditioner or regenerator. Given a choice, I would try the MAC. |
