whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money Radioshack | |
Can upgraded power cords help my setup? @pennsy,This thread is no place for real electrical knowledge and logic. There's people here referencing Shunyata papers as proof of the science behind high-end cables. | |
What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? Magnepans are good speakers but all who claim the 1.7s can compete with anything under $10k need their hearing checked. Are they as good as many $4k pairs? Sure, definitely. However, go listen to the 1.7i and then some Stirling Broadcast LS3/6s ($... | |
Curved and Straight Tonearms Wow..... | |
My favorite Reviewer Many audiophools don't like him for that very reason. They can't understand how a guy can appreciate such a wide variance. They want reviewers who simply reinforce their purchase decisions. | |
Tube Amp Pricing There's many way over priced tube amps, just as there's many over priced speakers, cables, dacs, transports...you name it. Like much of high-end audio, the price doesn't always reflect the quality and performance. Much of this industry is built ar... | |

Curved and Straight Tonearms @nandric,How does that apply to straight tonearms? Because of the slightest weight bias on one side of the cartridge end? | |
Looking for input: Best material for mid range cone @russ751,How can the Kipods be any good when made of such an antiquated material? Don't you know that good speaker drivers require super exotic composite materials, the more exotic the better......😂 | |
Curved and Straight Tonearms There's no real advantage to curved arms. TT manufacturers began making them because the convenience of removable headshells allow for quick cartridge swaps and easy setting of the offset angle. The advantage is the ability to place the cartridge ... | |
speakers I've never a heard a brighter pair of speakers than the Golden Ear Triton One. I listened to Pink Floyd and Dire Straits albums on these, paired to a McIntosh amp at my local dealer. I apologize for offending GE owners, but never have I heard suc... | |
Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own). sunnyjim,It's true that sometimes our friends know what's best for us. The LS3/6 is about equivalent in size to the Harbeth SHL5, much larger than the LS3/5a, but I can understand your aversion to the overall look, they don't qualify as show piece... | |
B&W 805D3 - Amp recommendation (Peachtree, Parasound, Hegel or Schiit?) Stelo,Just like SS, some tube amps command a fortune but it's not necessary to spend a fortune for great quality and performance. Just a few to consider: The Raven Audio Nighthawk, Cayin A88T, Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum, Line Magnetic (various). Al... | |
B&W 805D3 - Amp recommendation (Peachtree, Parasound, Hegel or Schiit?) No interest in tube amps? I ask because I own the Halo integrated, I also own some 88db sensitive stand mounters and I also own a tube integrated. A good tube integrated will outperform the Halo in most situations. The Halo can drive almost any sp... | |
Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own). I've come to the conclusion that asking others for speaker advice is somewhat like asking others to recommend a wife. There's a mind boggling number of brands out there and all have their fan boys. But what the hell, I'll throw my recommendation i... |
