Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2
Perfectionist, I found the sound of LS25 Mk. 2 to be far to 'polite' and almost veiled. It sounded as if it were saying 'oh well, here is another note for you'. I heard it in two contexts: ARC CD 3 Mk. 2 + LS25 Mk2 + Rowland 302 + Utopia (don't re... 
Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2
Yes TVAD, one moniker is enough. I created AudioPerv per a joking suggestion in another thread. I may use it on occasion.Magnepanmike, When was the LS25 II introduced. Last time I heard it was last summer at Audio Connections in Verona (NJ). I do ... 
Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2
No ARC bashing from me at least. An ARC LS2B has served me well and has been working like a Swiss watch for 13 years, and an ARC Ref 3 is among the 3 front runners for its replacement. It is also fair to mention that ARC has an excellent reputatio... 
Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2
Bingo TVAD, dull, boring and to my ears. . . overpriced. That's the LS-25 Mk. 2, not ARC's finest product by any stretch. I would not want to generalize, but LS-25 fits regretably the ARC stereotype declared above.As stated under the AudioPerv mon...

Onhwy61: AudioFetish? What's wrong with that? From Audiophile to audioperv? Sounds good to me, I rather like it! 
Shunyata Vs. Nordost power cables ?
Thank you Grant. Point well taken. 
Shunyata Vs. Nordost power cables ?
Noemoney, you using a Shunyata VX on a DAC? I once A/Bed a Python alpha vs VX on an Esoteric D70 but found it to be rather grainy compared to the Alpha. You may want to try an Alpha chord on your DAC. At the time of my audition, the audio consulta...

Intersting!

Onhwy61, your blacknoise generator sounds real fancy! I'd like to test it on Ellery's electronics-less radionics-based Rowland shell system. I bet it could reproduce even the sound of galactic black holes!

It is about a lot of things: it's the love of music, it's the love of equipment, it's the beauty of sound, it's the daydreams about the unachievable, it's the comradery with all of you even when we throw barbs at one another, it is the obsessive c...
