Has anyone else tried DNM solid core cable?
Dear Sir;Yes, I recently purchased DNM after recommended by a fellow audiogon member. Previously I was using Kimber Hero and here is my comparison:1) Hero's sound stage is bigger than DNM2) Hero separates instruments better than DNM3) Hero's bass ... 
Kimber Timbre vs Hero
Buckbo44 -I had been using PBJ for almost 5 years but I recently changed to Hero... The difference is, as Rodman999999 suggested, indeed audible provided "your system can resolve it". I suspect if your system performance is not up to the potential... 
Vienna Acoustics Bach Grand
Bondmanp -Quite frankly, VA lines can be warmer but not always. I, for instance, use YBA Integre DT with my VA Bees Baby Grand. As you know, YBA Integre DT has got a very detailed, airly, clean, smooth, musical presentation. Besides, The YBA has t... 
Vienna Acoustics Bach Grand
Dear All,I, too, have aqcuired a pair of Beethoven Baby Grand recently. I haven't broken them in as yet (requries at least 100 hours...heh, getting there), but the sound is simply stunning for piano, female voice and other classical instruments. I... 
Vienna Mozart or Dali Helicon 400 with YBA
Rotarius;I couldn't agree more, that's the impression I get from Triangles - very light, forward, airy, punchy, but not full-bodied. Even in piano music - since I prefer polyphonic music - the speakers must be able to delineate each voice but stil... 
Vienna Mozart or Dali Helicon 400 with YBA
Kats;Thank you also for your input. Yeah, I checked one of our members by the name of Defstathiou's system under 'virtual system', and he (I am assuming he is male) uses Vienna Bach with YBA Passion, and he thinks they are a fantastic pair (I admi... 
Vienna Mozart or Dali Helicon 400 with YBA
Rotarius;Thanks for your input. Yeah, that's the first thing I was concerned about Triangle speakers. The reason why I am upgrading my Kef speakers is that, though they are very efficient, they are a little too 'dry' and 'light' to my taste. That'... 
Vienna Mozart or Dali Helicon 400 with YBA
Hi Buda,Thank you for your useful comments above. I am, however, erasing Dali from the shortlist of my next speaker selections. The kind of Image I get from Dalis is that they are brilliant but no more no less. I felt kinda similar feeling comapri... 
Vienna Mozart or Dali Helicon 400 with YBA
Aball -That's EXACTLY the way I felt about Dali, they don't quite have revealing mid and high, period. When I demoed Helicon 400, I was actually unimpressed by them except the looks... And guess what, I am looking for Antel or Celious, they appear... 
Vienna Mozart or Dali Helicon 400 with YBA
I just auditioned Dali Helicon 400 today. The whole setup was for home theatre (all Krell equipment), so it was rather a vague experience to say the least... It appears though, that the treble and mid-range are very smooth(though maybe a bit brigh... 
Vienna Mozart or Dali Helicon 400 with YBA
Bruce - Yeah, your remarks on Dali Helicons are quite consistent with my images of them. I guess I just have to audition them and see what I actually 'feel' those outstanding qualities. At any rate, thanks for your comments.Best, 
YBA Initial vs Integre vs Audio Refinement
Yeah, I agree with you 100% that YBA Passion is in the different class from all the amps I mentioned above. But if you are to compare bewteen YBA Initial and AR, what are the diffrences in terms of sound quality? Anyone with first hand experiences... 
YBA Initial vs Integre vs Audio Refinement
Thanks Bignerd100 - That's what I thought. But the newly introduced YBA Initial line is rather inexpensive: I see someone is selling for $800's here at Audigon. I remember paying around $1000 for an AR integretaed, so YBA isn't too off price wise.... 
Warm integrated ss amp around 650?

Help Static Noise From Speaker
Dear Timo and Blueswan,Thank you for your information above. First off, I must stop using the lamp and audio equipment at the same time. Second, I should probably invest for some decent power protector. Third, with Blueswan, I should probably get ...
