| Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce I am a Vandersteen user (3a sigs), and I heard the Wilson Sabrina's at a local dealer. I never heard of Wilson before, but I was really impressed by the sound they produced, so much so, that if a pair of Sophias or WattPuppy7/8's at the right pric... | |
| Connecting a Consumer Stereo Pre-amp RCA to a Nakamichi MR-1 The image wasn't very clear, but I now see what you meant.I believe interconnects shouldn't be too sensitive to noise. If I remember correctly, it is better to use longer interconnects than speaker cable when possible.Good luck with the interconne... | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) Great post almarg.Though I did not think it would do much, changing the amps mains fuse to a HifiTuning fuse did result in a change in the sound of my stereo.

| Wilson Audio Sophia 2 or Goldenear Triton 1 Good point onhwy61.When I heard the Wilsons and GoldenEar, the set up was not the best, but I have to say the Wilson's were in a class above the GoldenEar, so much so, that I wondered why they are so highly esteemed. The dealer kept saying how the... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Phew, what a discourse...I have to say I am on the side of Oregonpapa, I have no electrical engineering experience either, but I have to say switching to the Hifi Tuning fuses made a difference to the sound my stereo produce. I only bought the fus... | |
| Old-school, and the quest for musical nirvana Okay, I'll bite...What equipment are we talking about? - As in, what equipment do you love vs. what new equipment you find 'amusical'? | |
| Wilson Audio Sophia 2 or Goldenear Triton 1 I have listened to the Golden Ears and the Wilson Sabrina. The Wilson's were hands-down better in my opinion. (I haven't heard the Sophias, but I would buy a pair if the price was right).As mlsstl said, opinions are a dime a dozen, so YMMV. If you... | |

| Buying Without Audition I guess I am ’old school’ now.The internet has opened things up for audiophiles. ’Back in the olden’ days’, you had to visit shops and spend hours listening (which was fun), now you can review the experiences of others and make an educated guess w... | |
