| Acurus or Parasound I have a Parasound HCA-2200 Mk2 and I wouldn't trade it for a spotted hog. My Apogee ribbon speakers need a lot of current, and the HCA-2200 delivers, definitely. John Curl designed this amp (as well as other Parasounds) and it's quite an incredib... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Bobf wrote:"clio09-I assume you must have some?What cables did you compare the GG's against before you went with them?"In my case, it was Nordost Red Dawn's and Synergistic Research Tesla Accelerators. I was amazed right away. There was some sligh... | |
| Horns vs Ribbons vs Dyanamic My ribbons are wonderful. No "reverberation" or "ambience", just pinpoint sound staging, beautiful tone and very realistic music. Certain ribbons provide very ample and articulate bass, but you have to pay for it by buying very large ribbons.Once ... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? I've been posting this in the Gabriel Gold thread. Most think this is heresy, but my system sounds so good now that I see no need to change until I get around to upgrading my amp. I am using a SR Tesla in between my pre and my amp, and Gabriel Gol... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? I know many members think it is heresy to mix cables, but I'm still using my Synergistic Research Tesla and GG Revolutions in sequence and love it. The image, 3-D staging, tone, detail, upper and lower frequency extension is amazing. I like both t... | |
| Leave an amp "on" permanetly Purely from an environmental standpoint, I would not leave my equipment on. I actually turn off the power strip to prevent the device from using stand-by power when it is supposedly off. I have a geology degree so I'm very familiar with the irrepa... | |
| VPI table owners, help please. I used Zu Xaus and I didn't like it in my system one bit. It just wasn't very refined. Cymbals sounded muddy, detail was lost. The top end isn't there. I also used Nordost Red Dawn and they were pretty good. All the micro-detail got through but th... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? WOW! I hope the people at Audio Metallurgy and Steve don't mind being called "small fries"I hear both of them have some deep pockets.This is purely a objective, academic discussion, no need for consideration of egos or tip-toeing around semantics,... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Bobf just just made a comment to the effect that "it was actually scary that electronics could do this." That was one of my immediate impressions with the GG Revelations. I never knew that my amp and CD player could sound this good (I knew my spea... | |
| selling vinyl and feeling? I was buying LPs before I even had a turntable. There was just too much good music out there on vinyl for me to let it go by. I'll never get rid of those gems that I have now. | |
| $75 Thorens vs. $2K+ Michell...is this possible? I have owned a new VPI Scout with a Benz Glider M2 cartridge for about 3 months. Before that, I owned a Thorens TD-125 MK2 for about 2 years. The performance level of the Scout is very high and I feel that it can do just about anything. I never ha... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Yep, I am fully expecting the sound to evolve over the next few weeks, as would be expected. I was so astounded by what I heard that I figured I would go ahead and write it out. I'll move the cables around a bit in a couple of weeks to see what ha... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? I just received two Revelation IC pairs from Steve. After listening for two hours and experimenting with different positions for these two cables in my system, the results are fairly astounding. I already had one length of Synergistic Research Tes... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? you would likely bd beter off doing your own comparison and letting =us all know your results.Budburma, I agree with you. That is going to be what happens, I think. | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? I would like to know if anyone can compare and contrast the new Synergistic Research Telsa cables to the Gabriel Golds. They both seem to be very solid and I'm wondering if the GGs will actually better the generally more expensive Teslas, which ha... |
