| Help me spend $1,500 on cables I agree with Pbb, records because of their aerodynamic shape when thrown will fly much further than cables.How did you decide on $1500? Is your gear the same as listed in your virtual system? What kind of music do you listen to? What are your soni... | |
| Which Golden Ratio??? .......Help I pick the women I date according to how their proportions coincide with Mr. Fibonacci's numbers.My last girlfriend had measurements of 55 34 55. She was quite a looker and could protect me in any situation as well. | |
| Audience AU24 vs Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference Hey thanks Marco. When I listen to music I always hope to be moved emotionally, so when writing about my impressions they tend to be expressed in the same way, and not very analytical. If you got my e-mail you know what I mean, heheh.I'm glad I wa... | |
| BAT pre-amps with RCA adaptors I own a VK3i and VK200. I'd been using the VK200 with a Blue Circle preamp with the BAT RCA to XLR adapters since March.Before receiving the VK3i this summer Victor Khomenko advised me it would be best to run a balanced cable between them, but he ... | |
| Best stand mounted monitors I own both ProAc Response 1SCs and Tablette 50 Signatures and use a powered sub.Last year I took my ProAc Tab 50 Sigs over to Viggen's place to listen in his system. At the time he owned KEF 104/2s. The ProAcs have a warm musical nature but we fou... | |
| Power + a bit of warmth for $2K or less? I've heard the newer Brystons are smoother than their older siblings, but I don't know if you could consider them warm.Besides the Aragon look into the Classe CA200/300, Plinius SA100/250, BAT VK200/500, and McCormack DNA1 and 2.Good luck! | |
| Audience AU24 vs Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference Hey Phil,Along with the amp and preamp comparos I've been doing since spring, a set of biwired Acoustic Zen Hologram II and a single run of Audience AU24 speaker cables w/ jumpers has been dueling it out in my system.I'm not sure if you can make a... | |
| looking for a warm ss amp.... I have compared at great length the Pass Aleph 3, Blue Circle BC22 and BAT VK200 and feel all three of these solid state amps may be a good candidate for you. Of the three, I feel the Blue Circle has the rounder, more "tubelike" character.I own an... | |
| Wait a Minute Do those Cardas Caps Work LOL @ army of Woody Allens! Now you've completely ruined it for me Rosstaman. :) | |
| To preamp or not to preamp??? To preamp or not to preamp depends entirely on what's important to you in musical playback.I've tried passive pres and while the sound seemed more balanced, I felt the soundfield flattened and became lifeless. I greatly preferred having any of the... | |
| Wait a Minute Do those Cardas Caps Work Yep, like Tireguy I use 'em too. Don't know if they do anything, but they do provide peace of mind and look kinda neat. | |
| Which speaker cable? Phild is correct about cabling and system synergy. My entire system is cabled with Acoustic Zen, however I switch back and forth between AZ Hologram II and Audience AU24 depending on my mood.I slightly prefer the AU24 for its more pronounced and l... | |
| OT: CES January 2004 I didn't realize one of THE Show venues was next door to Alexis Park. Thanks! | |
| Amazing XRCD I just purchased.... Last week I just received three XRCDs. The first was the 1957 recording of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition conducted by Fritz Reiner. It's amazing what the JVC engineers did with that recording. Reiner's rendition was very spirited.Also, go... | |
| OT: CES January 2004 Could someone give me some details of THE Show and how it differs from the one held at Alexis Park? I attended the Alexis Park venue at the last CES, but didn't know something else was going on as well. Is THE Show a part of CES? Thanks. |
