| Synergistic Research Galileo LE vs CTS I have tried the SR black fuse in an Audio Research Reference 75 SE. There was quite a difference, especially in the highs. | |
| Synergistic Research Galileo LE vs CTS Thanks. In the third paragraph I did type Tonally. Not totally. Stupid spell check. Lol. By no means are the LE identical to the CTS. But they are similar tonally. | |
| Synergistic Research Galileo LE vs CTS The Synergistic Research Galileo LE speaker cables showed up yesterday.First, let me thank folkfreak for suggesting in a private conversation that my electronics may have surpassed my cables and accessories. That comment inspired me to seek out th... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Listen to a Berkeley Alpha Reference 2 DAC. It's the best I've heard at $20K. | |
| Audioquest WEL Signature I just had another guy recommend Wireworld cables to me. I plan to audition some interconnects thru The Cable Company in about 2 months. Ill bring in some Wireworld along with a few others and will let you know how it goes. | |
| MIT Oracle interconnects with ? Berkeley Alpha Reference 2 DAC feeding Ayre MX-R Twenty amps directly, most of the time. Or an Esoteric SACD player run thru an Ayre KX-R Twenty preamp. I have a D'Agostino Momentum S-250 amp on the way to compare to the Ayres. Speaker cable is Sy... | |
| D'Agostino vs. Ayre Its probably been close to 20 years now, back when you could actually walk into an audio salon in any major city and listen to a variety of equipment. I remember listening to a pair of B&W 801 Nautilus, a known difficult load at the time, the ... | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? Been doing a Lot of system playing around lately. In my system, the Berkeley DAC sounds slightly better, more detailed feeding my Ayre amps directly. But to put that in perspective, I hear a much greater difference switching between Audioquest WEL... | |
| Synergistic Research Galileo LE vs CTS Yes. Right now I am running an 8 ft. pair of Synergistic CTS speaker cables. I have both CTS interconnects and Audioquest WEL interconnects at my disposal. I prefer the WEL to the CTS on most material. The probable upgrade to Galileo LE speaker ca... | |
| D'Agostino vs. Ayre High powered tubes are a long shot, for me. I can't afford a pair of Seigfrieds. I've tried to work a deal to purchase a used S-400, but just learned yesterday that the cost to upgrade one to Series II status is $20K. And from what khrys says, th... | |
| Synergistic Research Galileo LE vs CTS Bought an 8' pair of Galileo LE speaker cables with spades. Will compare and let you know. Will be here in about a week. FWIW, I'm leaning toward running Audioquest WEL interconnects. Love the rich, dense realistic images. With Synergistic speaker... | |
| Synergistic Research Galileo LE vs CTS I was reading the 2017 Editor's Choice Awards from The Absolute Sound. Jonathan Valin was commenting on the new Galileo UEF wires. To quote, " More importantly the UEF marks a dramatic shift in sonics coming far far closer to neutral in balance th... | |
| Synergistic Research Galileo LE vs CTS Thank you. Can you describe in what ways? My biggest concern is that the Galileo LE might be great, but a little dark in character. | |
| D'Agostino vs. Ayre Speaking personally... Thanks for the Ypsilon suggestion. They might be Awesome. But I do value long-standing companies or designers, an established dealer network, and will give the tie to products manufactured in the USA. And I am not working on... | |
| D'Agostino vs. Ayre Lots of really good amps out there, yes. But they all sound different. Some significantly different. |
