| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now Great thread. Elsewhere on Agon there was some recent discussion about whether to build a system from source to speakers, or vice versa. It's my opinion, and experience, that it's best to build from the speaker to source. The midrange has always b... | |
| Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions? Dadgummit, John, you mean my neighbor's complaints about noise are valid? BTW, what do you want to hear next? | |
| Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions? I was searching for new PCs for my dual mono, BAT amp. I had been running one of David Elrod's Statements on my 200, but there was no way I was going to be able to wrestle two of them into place. Another Agoner, Jmcgrogan (thanks again), suggested... | |
| Ayre CX7e vs. Meridain G08 I've owned both the 508.24 and the 588 (in fact, my son still has the 508.24). In the four years I owned the 588 I never experienced any mechanical issues, with the drawer or otherwise. As far as sonic comparisons, while I loved the warmth of the ... | |
| In the latest The Absolute Sound Thomasheisig, I was just curious about the difference of price between the two. I agree that the performance of certain expensive products are worth the difference in price.My point regarding the Daytona is that trying to make analgous comparisons... | |
| In the latest The Absolute Sound Thomasheisig, I'm out of my element here, though I have enjoyed talking with Terry Sullivan and seeing his cleaner at CES in year's past. The Monks product may be a much better vinyl cleaner than the Loricraft, but what is the difference in srp, a... | |
| Preamp: Cary versus BAT The VK3i is the ideal match for the 200. Changing out the tubes will alter the sonic characteristics. I used this combo for about five years, mated to highly articulate Meridian cdps. Low level detail retrieval was one of the combo's strengths. Yo... | |
| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have Nrchy, I keep revisiting this thread because I get a kick seeing what you younger guys are riding these days - as do the other Agoners who lurk here. You can see my bike list somewhere above. When I lived in Laguna Beach about a decade back, my 60... | |
| Brand of wiring for dedicated circuits? Tboooe, check out Virtual Dynamics. www.virtualdynamics.ca/content.php?id=127I believe JPS also offers bulk wire for residential use. | |
| VD Revelation Speaker cables - Like the great majority of manufacturers in this niche market, if you talk directly to VD they will make an effort to get their products into your system. Rick is extremely generous with his time and his knowledge; and, in my case, offered me a gr... | |

| Music to make you laugh by Obviously I had forgotten the spine of this thread by the time I read through it. For music which is humorous in and of its content, try Mingus' "Fables of Faubus" off Mingus Ah Um. | |
| Music to make you laugh by Tom Lehrer made folk music relevant almost fifty years ago (An Evening Wasted With...). Randy Newman's songs reward close listening (Sail Away, Trouble in Paradise, Little Criminals...). Martin Mull could outsmarm anybody - his whitebread blues ar... | |
| High End Audio Rack Symposium Isis. Research this rack. Symposium can ameliorate any number of isolation/energy dispersion issues. IMO, for the $$$ one has to spend on Arcici, fine elemente, grand prix, or Symposium, you should really make the effort to determine whi... |
