| Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce Stewart, I now understand what you were driving at.And, I can understand the disappointment you must have felt having to go back to the Vandy's. But, I want Sinewave to have a honeymoon with his new speakers. Should time reveal any shortcomings, t... | |
| Which Zu for you I just bought a pair of Omen bookshelf speakers from Zu and scored a pair of HSU subs on Agon. I am still in the process of putting things together, but I think it is going to be a killer system. I think this might be a cost effective way to get i... | |
| Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce Guys!Will you please let sinewave enjoy his purchase?We all have our preferences, but why go out of your way to throw a monkey wrench into someone else's choice.I, for one, hopes he enjoys the Wilson's. BTW, I have the Vandy's, and enjoy them. I h... | |
| help a Die hard ANALOG guy choose a budget CDP I own a Rega Apollo R and a McCormack CDP, both sound very good to me and are in your price range.I would also think about a DAC. I reentered HIFI after a 30 hiatus, using streaming music was the last thing on my mind, but, low and behold, I am li... | |
| Wall Receptacle Oyaide R0, Furutech GTX-G and SR Black UEF Well, with an system like tjbhuler has, I guess cost wouldn't be a restraint, but for most folks a Porterhouse would be a significant upgrade. | |

| Audiogon's Express Checkout Good for me. Though my bank seems to have Agon on a short list of 'suspect' sites. I had to call them to okay the charge. | |
| Anticables speaker wire have no plastic jacket/insulation? e91811, why don't you contact Anticables and ask them directly of your concerns? | |
| 5% THD to .000 THD SOUND Great analogy, Mapman. | |
| Anticables speaker wire have no plastic jacket/insulation? The current going through speaker cables is negligent for a human, though a small mammal, like a mouse, might be discomforted. | |
| 5% THD to .000 THD SOUND Derrick, I agree, that buying over the net makes things harder, but, speaking for myself, and perhaps for you, too, having had time to 'listen with our ears', I think this puts us ahead of the rest. We know what we like and know when we hear it.Pe... | |
| 5% THD to .000 THD SOUND Derrick, I think Bombaywalla was responding to the Geoffkait post.Also, I am I am close to your age and remember, too, all the audio mags with lots of specs. I also chased my tail those days, but was lucky enough to live in NY, where I could liste... |
