| Suggestions for fully shielded power cord... Audphile1, I do not know that your comparison of the Diamondback and Prelude against the Audience is a good example of shielded vs. non-shielded: The Audience is a good PC, while the Diamondback and Prelude are primarily entry-level. I have tried ... | |
| Any system ever moved you emotionally like this? The first time I heard Eva Cassidy sing Over the Rainbow on "The Other Side with Chuck Brown" cd was pretty emotional. I was also thinking about her death when I was listening, so this may have been part of it. She was very good though. System was... | |
| Stick with your stock cables ? It is also my position that a component should sound as intended with the stock power cords. This should be especially true regarding the tonal and timbral presentation. Some after market power cords did change the sound or other aspects of perfor... | |
| Interconnects for Nordost Valkyrja speaker cables Omegaman,For a good performing cable for a lot less money, you might check into LAT International. I have tried their products and, although they are no longer my primary cables, I have to admit that the system sounded very good and was not obviou... | |
| Best Krell Amp? My favorite Krell Amp was the FPB-200. I found it was more neutral (less electronic sounding) than the Aragon 8008BB, and more musical than the other Krell amps of the time as well as the Aragon. Although not perfect, I had always preferred Krell ... | |
| "Air, Extension, Resolution" Music or Hi Fi? Enjoying music and high fidelity reproduction can be, but are not necessarily the same thing. For instance, I used to like driving around in my dad's 67 Comet because I enjoyed the heck out of listening to his AM radio: it was a blast, though cert... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? To me, a really great speaker would be designed to output the original signal as faithfully as possible. Then, theoretically anyway, if you have these speakers in a good room and set up correctly, and if the system upstream is also accurately repr... | |
| Clayton Audio Last I heard on the Asylum they were. If do, the could be contacted through TRI Audio. www.triaudio.com/welcome.htm. | |
| a great take on big$ cables Referencing anything Stereo Review printed regarding sound is not a plus IMO. In fact, putting that out there potentially removes credibility from the poster. I leaned first hand (not via heresay or in a magazine) that the reviewer at Stereo Revie... | |
| Neutral powercords I have heard that the Richard Grey High Tension Wires are neutral. I have been in the same boat, but have not tried them. The Bolder Nitro is very quick, dynamic and smooth, but I am not yet sure it is neutral. I am still trying to sort out what i... | |
| Should I Upgrade Krell KAV 250P to KRC3? Generally speaking, the KRC-3 will not add any warmth on its own. It will, however, sound more real than the 250P. I own the KRC-3, and it is capable of being part of a very good and satisfying system. It will be more accurate and just plain sound... | |
| Cable auditions - Hard Work? Auditioning cables has been difficult, somewhat complicated by previous cable (including power cords) "upgrades." Earlier on this thread someone related a story about his previous Coincident speakers cables having been a synergistic band-aid with ... | |
| Opinions on Straght wire? Larryb, I would try the Straight Wire Rhapsody. | |
| Audio Physics Virgo II's - Cabling Another set to consider, if you can find them used is Straight Wire Maestro II. New they are @$300 less than the Cardas Neutral Reference. They are well made (except the spades are easily bent), but in my solid-state system were pretty neutral, cl... | |
| Opinions on Straght wire? Straight Wire has been around a long time and their products are competitive above their respective proce categories. They are just well made and designed cables that, IMO, have a model to perform as well as needed in any system. Again IMO, the Ma... |
