| Esoteric SA-50 SACD player, Is it for me? Ken, I can only say that I find the SA-50 sonically superior to the M-L. BTW, I also listen to classical.Having said this, I do find the Esoteric somewhat "dry"... as a matter of fact, all teac machines sound dry to me. Despite their typically ext... | |
| Acoustic resonators in place of room treatment Has anyone tried egg cups?I did years ago -- egg-cup boxes the paper variety. On the ceiling and side walls. The results were OK, I guess -- but the looks are out of this world.Forget it. (in the old times, makeshift studios used egg cups) | |

| Sugden - Electrocompaniet - Naim - Accuphase To add to the above:* The sound you describe points to the Sugden or Naim amp; not that they are veiled -- but they offer a "bouncy" sound.* The spkrs you have would be happier with the Electro's type of power.I haven't listened to the Electro cdp... | |
| Da Vinci AAS Gabriel I have listened to this TT (with a C/audio cartridge). It offered a beautiful musical experience, and even hitherto noisy material sounded clear.Whether you should switch to an AAS or not -- I don't know. If there's nothing wrong with your music, ... | |

| Analog Novice concidering new tonearm, seeking rec Is there anyone with a Thorens Turntable that has tried this?I had one years ago. Had 2 in fact, one with a RB300 another with a SME 3009/2. I preferred the SME. Both arms are better than Thorens' own (which is OK, anyhow).Go to vinylengine.com &a... | |

I'm a little concerned that the Colibri only sounds good with excellent recordingsNo, no, it's just that excellent recordings can sound unexpectedly "excellent" when you use a Colibri... A few quick notes fm me too:I too found that the Colibri out... | |
| Opinions on Full-Range/single driver speakers the Supravox looks great but like the php might be out of my price range for a DIY projectThe standard Supra 215 used to sell for around $200. You might also consider a Visaton B200 which is much cheaper.One point with such drivers, is they favour... | |
| Top notch speakers with their own sub Hmmm. Technology has not really changed much -- mostly, it's the testing & design equipment that have improved. Some drivers with new types of cone matl, but they're still cones Not knowing your musical & sonic tastes, I can only think you... | |

| Can we objectively rate speaker cables? Rova: If you are interested you can check out the projects Thanks for the refs... However, why don;t you give a brief approximation of what yr system sounds like with these wires? It would be interesting. | |
