| Zu Cable-vs-Virtual Dynamics? Bradz, I replaced a set of Analysis Plus BiOval 9s with cryo'd biwired Auditions. I never had them at the same time as I was selling off cables in order to finance the change to all Virtual Dynamics. But when I did receive the Audition Package, th... | |
| 2000 or less : best choices for mains? The Servo-15 if you get it with the companion X-30 crossover does have variably adjustable 0-180° phase. I own the X-30, but have never heard either the Servo-15 or HGS-18. However, I would suspect that the HGS is bit more of a HT sub than a music... | |
| Best small monitor speaker 4 small room acoustics? I own both ProAc Response 1SCs and Tablette 50 Signatures and they are marvelous little speakers. Smooth, detailed and possessing a beautiful midrange. One thing to consider though is that they are a rear port design, so placement can get tricky. ... | |
| Harry Potter sound Good point Bishop. Chris Columbus did about as a good a job as one can expect in adapting a richly written book into a two hour movie. Maybe "a thousand times" was a wee bit of a stretch. | |
| Harry Potter sound Bishop, I enjoyed the sound as well. Kirk, I would warn you though that if you're looking for huge impact this really isn't that type of movie. I thought the presentation overall was very natural and never really drew attention to itself, it allow... | |
| Virtual Dynamics Recall Viggen, sorry to hear about the problems with your ARC amp, once fixed I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. In the last seven months I purchased a Blue Circle BC21 preamp and a Kora Hermes DAC and they've been flawless, however they only use two tubes... | |
| 5 most overrated movies ever...... Pawil, Apocalyspe Now Redux takes the original and expands on it. The boat ride up the river becomes a long and trying journey which heightens the final landing at Kurtz's compound.Pulp Fiction is one of my all-time faves, and I like Jackie Brown ... | |
| 5 most overrated movies ever...... Gladiator - I thought the character development was weak and the story marginal, but the awesome fight sequences [with exception of the last one] made me want to go out and STAB! And, I love playing the Battle of Carthage scene when my downstairs ... | |
| Virtual Dynamcis SPEAKAER Cable Hi Stbhorn. Two months ago I upgraded a menagerie of cables that included Cardas, Harmonic Tech, Kimber and Analysis Plus to an all Virtual Dynamics cryo'd Audition Package. I was using the Analysis Plus BiOval 9 for almost a year and sold them th... | |
| Attack of the Clones Awesome CG too! The closeups on Yoda were very well done, and the compositing on the final scenes was amazing. Work like that done in this movie, the new Stuart Little and Spider-man probably couldn't have been done two years ago. | |
| Audiogoners-some musical recommendations A good friend of mine has been producing some bands here in Los Angeles for the past several years on his own recording label. The most well-known of these bands is probably The Blue Hawaiians with whom he produced their first two releases. He's c... | |
| Attack of the Clones I live in Los Angeles, and a lot of those digital theaters are popping up all over. I guess you gotta have them here since this is Tinseltown. Anyway, a friend of mine went to see Episode II at one of these theaters last weekend, and guess what? T... | |
| Biggest Improvement Speaker Cable Or Interconnects I think it depends on the current state of your system. If you're already completely outfitted, I would say wherever your cabling is the most compromised, whether that be interconnect or speaker cables. If your speaker cables are overly restrictin... | |
| Virtual Dynamics Recall Thanks guys for the compliments. I appreciate them. I know my components are crying for cryo'd VD Nites, but my wallet is crying for a rest! Plenty mad at me that piece of stitched leather is.Yeah, I like the HTS2000, but then again I've never tri... | |
| Confused - what to buy DAC or CD player? Hi Sol. I sold the Bel Canto DAC 1.1 earlier this year in favor of the latest Kora Hermes tube DAC. The Kora has a more expansive, fuller and equally detailed sound in comparison to the Bel Canto. It's smoother and more refined and has the benefit... |
