| Silver cables - Great price!! Dekay: I also live in an apartment. Since I usually go to work early critical listening after 11:00 pm isn't an option except on the weekends. I have noticed that my system sounds its best later in the evening. I've read reviews that suggest the P... | |
| Favorite composer @ favorite work? Since I was a teenager I have been listening to Vivaldi. My favorites are his compositions for Mandolin. I like Beethoven's music, especially his Symphony No. 9 (if any work is my all-time favorite this would be it). My most recent discovery has b... | |
| Silver cables - Great price!! Well, here is my final review. Pretty much everything I posted in my preliminary review remains true. Though the sibilance in female voices has softened it is still there. For a while I had TMC Yellow Label interconnects between the preamp and pow... | |
| Paradigm ref studio 40's? I listened to both the Paradigm Ref. Studio 40s and 60s about a year ago. Ended up buying the Studio 60s. The two are close but I felt the studio 60s offered "bigger" sound; they are floor standers as opposed to the stand mounted Studio 40s. You s... | |
| Best Subwoofer for music and movies For the price I like the Hsu Research VTF-2 ($499). It isn't the ultimate in low-end impact but it is very musical and works well for movies. They also sell subs that will extend below 18 hz; but they sell for about twice the price. | |
| best inerconnect $300 to $400 Unless I missed it no one has suggested Home Grown Audio Super Silvers. No, they are not in your price range. These cables sell for a whopping $69.95. Honestly, I am not sure they fit in my system. But, what they do right they do superbly. Check o... | |
| Silver cables - Great price!! Dekay, thanks for the post. I like the cables enough to keep in my system for another couple of weeks. I wont have much time to listen to them this week. So, I thought about hooking them back up to my VCR and giving them another 50 to 100 hours of... | |
| Silver cables - Great price!! I thought I'd post a preliminary review. Before I do, I should tell you something about the equipment they are hooked up to. The Super Silvers connect my Roksan CDP to a B&K Reference 10 A/V Preamp. My power amp is a B&K AV6000 driving a p... | |
| Roksan: Any experience with this company I haven't yet dealt with any official of Roksan. I do own a Roksan CDP which I bought used. It is a wonderful product, built like a tank, and very musical. Thanks bringing up this question. I didn't know that Roksan would be making an upgrade to t... | |
| Silver cables - Great price!! I want to echo Trelja sentiments about not falling prey to the "flavor of the month" syndrome. The reason I am upgrading interconnects is because I just upgraded my CDP and Preamp. Home Grown Audio has received some good reviews from people on thi... | |
| Silver cables - Great price!! Dekay, different components take differing amounts of time to break in. In order to make comparisons between products I want to be sure all of them are adequately burned-in. I choose 200+ hours as a safe number; nothing scientific about it. For in... | |
| Silver cables - Great price!! Monroemed, you forgot to mention how Home Grown Audio cables compare with Stealth in terms of musicality; price is only a small part of it. More details would be helpful. I've been using Stealth ETS for about three months now. My Home Grown Audio ... | |
| Paradigm or Vandersteen When I bought my Paradigm Studio 60s I listened to many loudspeakers, including the Vandersteen 1C. I thought the Vandersteen had the most involving sound of *all* those I tried. My requirements where for both HT and two-channel music reporduction... | |
| Best Amp for Paradigm 100 Speakers I have had the Paradigm Studio 60s for the past year. While I haven't tried the amps you listed, I found B&K multi-channel amps to be a good match. My only complaint is they seem a little slow dynamically when it comes to full symphony orchest... | |
| Power Cord Advice As Sol322 suggested, check previous threads. There is alot of good information. Of the ones you listed I have only auditioned the Synergistic Research Master Coupler. It was bettered only by the Marigo Audio Labs Ultra Series II on my digital fron... |
