| Cardas Golden VS AQ Diamondx3. anybody? COOL.THANKS LOTS GUYS. I APPRECIATE THE INFOg13 | |
| Cardas Golden VS AQ Diamondx3. anybody? Mgottlieb, With some copper cables, there is a somewhat euphonic warming of the sound. WHat I love about silver is a lack of seemingly un-natural (but sometimes nice sounding, depending on the components) warmth. THe Diamond is very neutral , in m... | |
| Best Copper IC under 200. I completely agree, having recently used both TARA Master g2 and Viper. Also, AQ Opal is discontinued, but is a brilliant cable (replaced by viper) and should be cheap. | |
| Help wanted in regards to monitors... I've not heard the tylers, but they always get good responses, as do the Proacs. I've never liked Aerial speakers, just sound too much like stereo equipment. I can also imagine why the guy above didnt like the Nautilus speakers with Bryston gear, ... | |
| Tube amp blues All I can suggest is to swap the tubes between channels, to see if it goes away. It could certainly be a bad or microphonic or old tube, but could possibly be something more. I'm sure someone with more knowledge than I will respond shortly, but th... | |
| Puccini SE vs.Audio Refinement Complete Man, it didnt use to be so hard to get an answer...You might try searching the forums by keyword "Puccini" and "complete". I know there's some threads like this out there, because I've responded to at least one. Here are my thoughts:I've heard bot... | |
| To tube or not to tube... AHemOkI'll try to explain my case again...Starting from your last question:1)No tubed line stages (preamps) are NOT just for people that like to fiddle about with the insides of stereo equipment.There's just something more "right" with valves in t... | |
| To tube or not to tube... YES!!I tried a tubed preamp for about 2 years, with McCormack SS amps. IT was nice. I highly recommend it. I've recently gone ALL-TUBE, and can say that the differences in a good ss amp (McCormack DNA .5 and DNA .5 Rev A) and a good tube amp (old ... | |
| Audioquest Diamond X3 Cable spotters ? you must look closely under varying light conditions for the label. Older Audioquest cables were printed with almost monochromatic ink, so that it was sometimes hard to read the labels even when brand new. Get some bright light, get up close, and ... | |
| Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever I guess that overall, the Coors take the cake. Go to a website or something... all 3 are drop dead gorgeous. I did forget about Edie, but overall, Corrs. | |
| Silver I/Cs good match for Planet CDP?? I'm using Audioquest Diamondx3, and it sounds great. I used Lapis before that, also with good results. | |
| anyone with a 'system' near me? hahahahahahahahahaha. Actually, I think it is a good idea, but quite hard to implement. Unless you're in a really large metro area, there's probably about 20 people within 100 square miles (if you're lucky) that share your interests. The bset thin... | |
| Liked the Nautilus 805 but found better? Hey Sagger, no offence intended, buddy. I don't know how much money, I've not had much luck getting subs to work seamlessly, in any system I've ever heard. Krellnot taps into an opinion that I've heard before. Perhaps the B&W subs might match ... | |
| Liked the Nautilus 805 but found better? Yeah yeah, Sagger, you want to buy it for me? Listen before thrashing a company's products. I'm sure REL is great, but with the products being nonexistant on the used market, and the least expensive current model being $1500, it will be several ye... | |
| Liked the Nautilus 805 but found better? I added a NHT SW2pi last night, just to try. It mates very well, actually. Using a low pass x-over point of about 75hz on the sub, I got good sound with very little fiddling about. This is a tough one, guys. I get to keep the 805s, but have to she... |
