| sibilance on Eva Cassidy Songbird Hey guys. Just listened to the "Songbird" songs taken from "Live at Blues Alley " on that cd and, despite the typical analogue advantages, I might have finally found a cd that sounds better on balance than the vinyl. At least it doesn't make me wa... | |
| New Lamm models in sight?? And the answer is...... | |
| Audio Research Ref 110 As a follow up to anyone reading this thread--after 400 hours on the Ref 110 and 100 hours on a Ref 5 pre, I can only say that these components have broken in beautifully. So much so, that I am now amused by my original post. Transparent, neutral,... | |
| Audio Research Reference 5 Preamp Thanx Samuel. I had the pleasure of discussing high end audio with you at the Stereophile show in nyc a number of years ago and found your insights to be valuable then. Your insights are no less valuable today. Keep on calling it as you hear it. | |
| Audio Research Ref 110 Thanks guys. The only reason I hesitate to list all components is that over the years in this hobby, I believe I know the character of each component I own and how placement of everything (all on isolation devices), cables- pcs (Shunyata) ics (Ste... | |
| Audio Research Ref 110 While I appreciate that everything is system dependent, my question is, for those of you who have broken in the REF series amps, is this characteristic inherent in the break in process? | |
| Audio Research Ref 110 For sake of clarity, this problem does not manifest itself on well recorded cds or vinyl, but on average and below average quality recordings and on some sacds. Thus, I suspect junk in- junk out. That said, what will break in bring? | |
| Who has heard the new ARC ref 2 phono? What's the problem with the 6H30 in a phono stage? Something inherent in the tube design? | |
| Mcintosh C1000T users opinions I see ARC is coming out with a ref phono 2 introduced at the Munich high end show a week or 2 ago. You can find a photo in Alan Sircom's blog on AVGUIDE.com. It has adjustable curves like the Zanden---RIAA being one. I'll check it out later this s... | |
| Mcintosh C1000T users opinions The C1000T is the finest phono stage I have ever had in my system (by alot). I've had the C2200, Dynavector and Graham Slee ERA Gold. The GS was very good, the Mac 2200 was okay, but the C1000 was in another league. I had a brief in house comparis... | |
| Furutech Destat or Walker Talisman or both? I have not tried the Talisman, but bought the Destat about 2 months ago to replace the various versions of the Milty Zerostat (including v3) that I've had over the past 25 years. I simply believed that there had to be a better way to evenly discha... | |
| Wilson WP 7s and supertweeter Nice system Dgad. | |
| Wilson WP 7s and supertweeter I use Stealth hybrid mlts speaker cables with Indra ics, but have heard with Siltech high end cables,Nordost Valhalla and Transparent Reference. | |
| Wilson WP 7s and supertweeter To further clarify the question, I am a long time owner and admirer of Wilson speakers. Have had Sophia 1 for a number of years and obviously WP7s for a few years as well. Set up by the dealer and modified slightly many times by me, including usin... | |
| Stealth Indra on Mcintosh I have McIntosh c1000 with MC2102. Stealth Indra between Bel Canto PL1 and Mac. Results are extraordinary. Excels at clean highs, deep and defined low end and liquid midrange. Extends soundstage immeasurably. I have found that the most important I... |
