| What else sounds like Kubala Sosna? Oh, and for those who have heard the KS line, what was your impression of the difference between Expression and Emotion? | |
| What else sounds like Kubala Sosna? They are warm cables, but i think most musicians work really hard to warm up their sound, and most hihg end gear is too bright. I have been trying to emulate the sound I hear live in my home system, and the KS cables seem to do that (especially on... | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? It's not a question of speakers making mediocre recordings sound good, as much as making mediocre recordings sound their best. There is a lot of equipment that makes mediocre recordigns sound worse by compounding the problems, while making good re... | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? I don't know what went wrong with the Daedalus speakers I heard. I was very surprised to hear tehm sound that way, and disappointed that the search would have ot continue. I do remember that they did not have the crossover upgrade to the capacitor... | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? Interesting about the Daedalus. I had high hopes for these speakers after hearing someone play an electric violin through one of their combo amps (a combination preamp/amp/speaker all in one box for musicians to use on stage) at a NAMM convention ... | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? I highly recommend Ascendo Systems speakers. They really push the boundaries of analytical vs. musical, giving a very highly resolving and very musical presentation. I have the System ZF3s. I have not been happier with a speaker since I got my Spi... | |
| Youtube Music Videos. Youtube is one of the greatest things on the internet - you can find true videos of even the most obscure things. For music, some of my favorites are:New-to-me Nina Hagen. Some of her music is fabulous, much is awful. This was the first I saw of h... | |
| Has anyone actually bought a Zesto Phono preamp? I havaen't heard it yet, but if you're near Eastern Massachusetts, Goodwin's High End has one in their showroom. | |
| MIT shotgun MA or MIT Matrix HD38 Hi, you speak English better than I speak Hungarian. MIT has 2 product lines, one available in stores and one available from on-line sellers. That's how they are divided in the US. I think the Matrix is their very latest line for sale in stores, w... | |
| plate amps If you're running the sats full range, then the sub is not taking the load off the main, hmm, thinking---wait a minute, unless you were running the subs passively off the AtmaSpheres in parallel with the mains, in which case, you would defintiely ... | |
| Wanting to get into Vinyl - Need help I would seriously question getting into vinyl if you have nothing yet. If you don't have a big vinyl collection already, and don't like to tweak for the fun of it, getting a great digital rig will probably prove to be much more enjoyable. I have r... | |
| GNSC has closed . . . Another Steve Huntley fan here. I owned a modded 850 for a while. He got it running again for a fair price when some gears wore out. Wadia hadn't had the foresight to stockpile enough parts, but he did. | |
| PS Audio PerfectWave DAC Upgrade Groben - I'm contemplating the Berkeley and PS. Can you describe the differences in sound between the two? Especially in regard to resolution and bass bloom. | |
| Benefits of Buying Used Equipment of Age If you know what to buy, used stuff can be way better than new. My favorite example is the Spica TC50 speakers I bought in 1986. I tried a number of new, expensive speakers that were lateral moves from these. Typically, the newer sepakers had grea... | |
| Dual volume control - it should be standard There's more to enjoying reproduced music than getting the best possible sound. If you end up missing whole sections of songs because you are jumping up and down to adjust volume and balance, it will be very difficult to enjoy the experience. I fi... |
