| Paradigm Persona series Audiotroy sells again. He just can’t help it. Like the tale of the scorpion and the frog---it’s in his nature. When I first heard the Persona 9Hs at the NY audio show a few years ago, I thought they were good for the $ but a bit on the bright side... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @mzkmxcv:Timbre, texture of sound, the presence or absence of easily heard vs buried microdynamics in a passage, imaging and, most importantly, whether the music sounds natural and rhythmic and engages one emotionally or is presented in a mechanic... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound I can tell the difference between stock power cords and say, Audience, Audioquest or Shunyata high end cables--all of which I have, had or listened to in my system at length. I hear better and tighter bass, better microdynamics, dimensionality and... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound I feel sorry for anyone who believes that reputable high end PCs cannot improve the sound of a system in many ways--in fact, too numerous to list. | |

| Favorite band or artist of all time? Re Jimi:He tried to mimic his idol (Dylan) in lyric writing. Sometimes very good, other times painfully derivative and amateurish. Oh, but his guitar playing--still wow. | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? It is clear that Zep ripped off Willie Dixon (who also may have ripped off other writers in his stable) and others. That ripoff was direct--- in some cases word for word note for note. But I was and remain a fan. GVF is clearly copying the Zep sou... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? First vinyl play of 2019:The Tree of Forgiveness---John Prine | |
| So disappointed in today's Americana Hi Slaw:Hope you enjoy it. It is my personal fave from Brandi. There is also an album of other artists performing the songs on "The Story" which has some great performances and some not so great performances. It's called "Cover Stories" and the fu... | |
| So disappointed in today's Americana For those of you who have Brandi's latest album (which I like but which is far from her best), check out "The Story". A truly great album. I always enjoy listening to her voice. | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? Holographic imaging is not the be all and end all of audio. But when your system has excellent timbre, texture, pace and dynamics---and then you tune it in to the nth degree (speaker placement/room treatments) --it can result in holographic imagin... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels Audiotroy:Please stop selling your gear here. You are getting very tiring in your efforts. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? +1 Reubent Wrecking Ball was excellent on cd and even better on vinyl. A very good album. If you like Emmy Lou, check out Teatro by Willie Nelson with Emmy Lou on most songs. It's engineered by Daniel Lanois --sounds great on cd and even better on... | |
| Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns Your amp and preamp are very good products. Your front end (cd player and turntable and cartridge) are significantly holding back your system. Even if you spend 15k, the low end or your budget, you can purchase a close to state of the art cd playe... |
