| Most achingly-beautiful music Right now I'm rediscovering an oldie from my childhood. Chet Atkins' "Theme From A Dream" from his "In Hollywood" album. This was previously unavailable on CD, but was just issued on JVC XRCD a couple weeks ago.Strange thing though. I just found o... | |
| Which Transport? Theta Jade, Proceed CDD, Sonic F. SFT-1 Hi Kevziek.I purchased a Theta Pearl transport about 4 months ago. At the time, I was considering getting the Sonic Frontiers SFT-1 and the Theta Data Basics also. I hadn't actually heard any of these units, but ended up getting the Pearl because ... | |
| Subwoofer hookup Many people on this forum speak highly of REL subwoofers and their natural sound. It seems that another strength is that they are very versatile and lend themselves to different hook up schemes.I believe REL favors the speaker level hook up method... | |
| laid back, warm interconnects with tight bass clean highs I will add my vote for the Cardas too. In my system, the inexpensive Microtwin was warm, but overly bloated in the bass and had a vague presentation overall. However, the Golden Cross is working wonderfully in my system. It helped take off much of... | |
| looking for the right integrated Wombat3 I have no experience with any of your gear, but I'd like to recommend that you audition a Simaudio Moon I-5 integrated. I've owned one for almost a year now, and am very happy.I would characterize it as being fast, detailed, smooth, and dy... | |
| Cardas GOlden Reference vs GOlden Cross Hi Audiotomb. I own both the Harmonic Technology Pro Silway II and the Cardas Golden Cross. I compared them running from my DAC to my integrated amp and the differences were very subtle. At half the cost the Pro Silway II acquitted itself quite we... | |
| Advice on stand mounting, please I use 20 lbs. of steel shot in each of my Lovans. I bought the shot through an ammunition dealer. Also, since I'm an artist I've been using 4 pieces of kneaded erasers under each speaker to good effect. The kneaded erasers come in flat squares tha... | |
| Theta Jade and CDR's Nodaker, sorry I took so long. The Pearl does play CDRs. You may want to check with Theta, but since your Jade and my Pearl share the same mechanism, I don't see why it wouldn't. Good luck! | |
| Rega Planet 2000 vs Theta Miles Artemus, sorry I didn't back to you immediately regarding the Miles with CDRs. I'm glad Statman was able to give you the info you needed.Congratulations, and I hope you'll be happy with your choice. I've heard many people say how happy they are wi... | |
| Bi-wire using single or two cables? Thanks Ewha. Now I have a better picture.From your description and concerns, I don't think the DH Labs are what you're looking for. In my system they were at times strident and had a flat, in-your-face presentation.I totally forgot to suggest the ... | |
| Best pricing on Salamander Arecetype? Go get em Lak! | |
| learning to listen I agree with you. I've noticed that if I put enough effort into using my other ear while talking on the phone, it eventually adjusts and I sometimes forget that I'm using my "off" ear.As for non-audiophiles becoming critical listeners, I think the... | |
| Bi-wire using single or two cables? I agree with Sugarbrie. If I were in your shoes I'd definitely go for the better single run first, then decide later whether or not an upgrade to biwire is necessary.Before recommending a cable other than Audioquest, I'd need to know a few things ... | |
| Theta Jade and CDR's Nodaker, I'll check tonight to see if CDRs work with my Theta Pearl. It uses the same Pioneer Stable Platter mechanism as the Jade. | |
| Rega Planet 2000 vs Theta Miles Hi Artemus. I own a Theta Pearl transport, and am very happy with it's performance.While I haven't compared the Rega Planet 2000 to the Miles, I would assume because of the price difference between the two brand new the Miles may have slightly bet... |
