| Footers/Shelf Material Redkiwi; interesting observation re E.A.R. feet. As I think you know, I use a Sonic Frontiers Line 2 pre-amp that I am fond of and that has the E.A.R. feet you mention. All of my equipment sits on a very heavy steel stand that is spiked and damped... | |
| What is the best AES/EBU? What is best is what you like. And it also depends on the components you're connecting. That said, I tried Madrigal's MDC-1 110 ohm AES/EBU cable between my Levinson 37 transport and 360S DAC in comparison to the near same price Cardas. The Madrig... | |
| Who R U? Hi Shaqspack; great intro. post-- at least I certainly enjoyed it, and welcome to Audiogon Chat. I believe "some of us" could occasionally use your professional services on some of the more heated threads. Do you do cyber-counseling? Nice to meet ... | |
| Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever ......I fell in love with Cowboy Junkies Margo Timmins long before I saw a good picture of her. Cheers. Craig. | |
| Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever Margo Timmins of Cowboy Junkies, as it turns out, is drop dead gorgeous. I just found that out via a recent Cowboy Junkies 90 min. VHS tape of a live concert. The tape quality, both video and audio, wasn't all that great but I enjoyed it greatly a... | |
| Headroom MAX / Sennheiser 600, what CD? The Sony XA7ES CD player is available used for around $1200. and is excellent. Stereophile Class A. I used it for several years, and it truly is an excellent CDP, and is built like a tank at about 35 lbs.. Happy Hunting. Craig | |

| Opinions on Dunlavy Aletha Speaker Piezo; thanks again, and please keep us up to date on your Aletha placement. One of the music aspects that I am looking to upgrade, over my Vand. 3As, would be in the area of "speed", which means better PRT. I consider the 3As a little slow or slu... | |
| What time do you wear? Swiss Army by Wenger-- all SS. I am hard on watches, and this one has stood the test of "time" :>). I also have an older SS Seiko that has been very durable, but needs some work. BTW, arc welding sparks and small slag will easily pit both cryst... | |
| Opinions on Dunlavy Aletha Speaker Hi Twilo; thanks for this thread-- I've been interested in this speaker too, and Piezo, below, has an excellent response. Piezo; thanks for your detailed post on the Athena speakers. You've answered many of the questions I had, and your comparison... | |
| Vandy 5 Owners & Dreamers You're not alone Marklivia. I also own 3Asigs-- and really like them, but I want to end up with Vand. 5s as my "last speaker". I appreciated the comments of Avguy, Khrys, and Jkphoto above. Thanks. Craig. | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? Trelja; a lot of the music I listen to depends on good rhythmic drive, ie blues, rock, some pop, some new agey stuff etc, and the DNA2 does this very well. I think the two music parameters that are most important to me (assuming good tonal balance... | |
| Do the Audio gods shine upon you? No bull Slowhand, I experience this phenomenon pretty often too. In my case, I attribute it simply to "mood". Guys don't typically like to talk about such things, preferring to attribute changes to all sorts of other things such as cables, ICs, vi... | |
| Dedicated Power line I used Hubbell Audiophile grade outlets @ 2 for $25. from the Cable Co.. Of course it took me a few days to get them as I live out in the boondocks. If you need them ASAP, I think Hubbell, and others make good quality Hospital grade outlets that a... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? On this one, I keep coming back to moderate price tube pre-amps and also moderate price SS amps. I think Doug states the case for this position very well regarding the cost of excellent components-- that's an interesting observation, ie that excel... |
