| Wilson Audio Sasha I or 2 ? The Sasha 2 to my ears was only marginally better than the Sasha. If the overall difference was 10 percent, I would be surprised. I cannot pinpoint a specific area where the Sasha 2 was significantly better, although someone who has owned both mig... | |
| Elton John Tumbleweed Connection SACD Hybrid There is only one sacd version of EJ, Madman, Tumbleweed, GBYBR and Captain Fantastic. They are all Sacd/stereo/surround and cd. They all sound very very good but not quite as good as the original vinyl. | |
| Wilson Watt Puppy 7 The WP7s were the best WP (until the Sashas came along). Much better than WP6 and a bit better than WP8 IMHO. I owned the 7s before the Sashas and Alexia2s which I own now. | |

| Paradigm Persona series TranslationMcIntosh is slightly veiled, rounded and warm (I had an all Mac system for years) and you need that to mitigate the brightness and harshness in the Paradigms. | |

| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables ClearthinkAgreed. All components have their own sound. Sometimes the manufacturer of a component claims its component provides neutral sound, others do not. My point was that cables too have their own sound and should be utilized to work with the ... | |
| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables IMHO, manufacturers claim the holy grail of neutral sound when, in fact, many have a house sound. I can tell a Nordost cable from a Shunyata, Audioquest or Audience. (Nordost will be faster but not as full bodied as the others--and the others have... | |
