| Does speaker cable length really matter? That was a 10, John. | |
| Worst Music of All-Time Anything by Crissey Hind. She made dogs howl. I believe she once said she hated rock music. She sang it that way... | |
| How Cool Is My Wife! Just rummaged through the latest comments and caught Rsuminby's about footrubs and wine on the couch during a listening session. I've always found a bit of this and sessions other than listening quickly follow. | |
| Does speaker cable length really matter? Just remember, guys. Length always matters. | |
| What preamp to use? A mint used conrad-johnson 14LS can be had for around $2000-2200. Hard to beat. | |
| Cables with Conrad Johnson tube gear Presently running Alpha-Core silver interconnects with c-j 14LS into Classe' ss amp. Very nice. May be moving to NBS Monitor series. Remember, synergy is everything. Don't take anyone's suggestion as The Word--audition for yourself and decide. | |

| Best female vocals on CD Enjoyed the entire thread, particularly the comments re: DK. Those of you who tossed in Joni Mitchell ("Both Sides Now" latest) should hear her smoke a couple of standards on the Herbie Hancock Gershwin CD. Every jazz lover I've had listen to her ... | |
| Wadia,Pass,Avalon Tsv--Sounds like you have a terrific system. Not familiar with Kharma speakers, but am very familiar with Eidolons. Simply the best at their price point, IMHO. Close bud owns Audio Unlimited here in Denver and uses Eidolons, Arcuses and Opuses for... | |
| Am I deaf? As the owner of an 8-year-old Classe' Ten amp, their integrateds never were up to it IMHO, and particularly when compared to the Plinius, Sim, YBA--you name it. Believe me, different components sound different in my system, but I'm not running a C... | |
| Best CD player now made. The new Accuphase DP-77V. | |
| Best audio mag In addition to TAS, Positive Feedback and Hi-Fi & Music Review (English) are worth a read, along with The Inner Ear (Canada). | |
| Wadia,Pass,Avalon Have been running Arcus for past year. My last set of speakers--stage from wall-to-wall, superior depth and height (tough to get with many speakers/systems), excellent bass, outstanding mids and highs, very smooth, dynamic and balanced; above all-... | |
| Tubes? OH YES!!! But where? Hmmm.... SS amp, tube pre gives you solid, tight bass coupled with the liquidity and sweetness of tube mids and highs. As always, the right equipment choice makes the difference. Good luck! | |
| Best Interconnects for under $300 pair Ditto Ljgj on Goertz. Or try Harmonic Technology Pro-Silway MKII. Under $300 at eAudioNet (Wen-Li). You don't have to get a second on the house to buy excellent wire. |
