| Looking for a new (preowned OK) line stage under $5K: suggestions? As evidenced by this thread, there are a great many choices. We may have reached the point where recommendations become overwhelming and therefore useless. At the risk of making things worse, I recommend either an ASR Basis Exclusive or a Zanden ... | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects It's inevitable that everyone will post about their favorite cables. I'm no different. I'm partial to Nordost products. All power cords, interconnects and speaker cables in my system are Nordost. I've been an audio hobbyist since the early '80s.... | |
| High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260 Okay, where can I get this kool-aid? I'd like to drink some. (Metaphorically, of course.) I'd used Caig Pro-Gold. It's a decent cleaner. For a long time I used Stabilant 22, which I found to be much better. Now I'm using NPS-1260 which is ri... | |
| ATMA-SPHERE MA-1 MK11.3 with magnepans, am I completely mad?! I thought the issue was impedance. The Maggies dip pretty low and the Atma amps like to see higher. I did hear a rig that used Z Transformers (the anti-cables guy) between Atma-Sphere and Maggies and it sounded great. Best talk to Ralph. | |
| Jorma or Kimber KS speaker cables and IC Thanks for the heads up. I've never had the opportunity to hear Jorma cables. I have no doubt that upper echelon cables from a reputable manufacturer are a significant contribution to a resolving system. I've been a Nordost customer for many years. | |
| which turntable for the future? If I understand correctly, you're looking for something that outperforms the Michell and will "hold you over" til you get a Tech Das. Such problems! First, I love the Gyro w/SME V. But it seems that you're determined to try something else. Okay... | |
| Share MYSTICAL, HAUNTING songs Big plus for almost anything by Dead Can Dance. Can't believe no one has yet listed Avalon by Roxy Music. And finally Mountains of the Moon by The Grateful Dead | |
| I Don't Want to be an Audiophile, What am I... "I don’t want to be an audiophile, what am I?" If you buy high performance audio gear to improve the sound of your music, then you’re an audiophile. Don’t be a wuss, own it. United we stand! (or sit, as the case may be) | |
| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? "When making changes or adding things to your system, what makes the bigger difference in sound quality on preamp‘s and power amps? Interconnects, speaker cables, power cords, or fuses?" This possibly could have been phrased more clearly, but ... | |
| Rel Does Not Recomment Isolation Stands While I suppose that REL knows what's best for REL, those theories may not be universally applicable. I have a pair of JL Audio e110 subs up on Isoacoustics pucks. They still shake the floor when they should, but with less boom and overhang. There... | |
| Fancy Fuse for Regenerator? I replaced the stock fuse in my Exact Power ep15a with an Acme CFC fuse and really enjoyed the results; noticeably more lively overall. I'd been using an SR Orange fuse in my integrated amp, and decided to try the Acme. My "expectation bias" fav... | |
| JL Audio CR-1 Crossover Ozzy, I could put it in front of my Cary sli-80, but that would accommodate only one input; either my cd player or my 'table. Or I could first put my two sources into a passive preamp, then that pre into the CR-1, then split into the Cary and the... | |
| JL Audio CR-1 Crossover Congrats, ozzy! I dream of the CR-1. I have a pair of JL Audio e110s connected like REL. Since I run an integrated that lacks the ability to "loop" the CR-1 into the system, it's going to stay a dream, at least for a while. Enjoy! | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses @cleeds +1 I've successfully used Acme, HiFi tuning, and Synergistic fuses. I've got nearly 200 hours on my Synergistic Purple. In my system, in my opinion, to my ears with nearly 40 years in this hobby, the Purple fuse is one of the most cost ef... | |
| Who will soon be going to a live concert? Saw Los Lobos Sept 18th (outdoors)Saw Marty Stuart Oct 15th at a venue with strictly enforced vaccine mandate.Have tix for Tedeschi/Trucks Dec 1st - that feels risky though I'm boostered and will be wearing an N-95 mask.Be careful out there! |
