| Win a power cord. Kevin, I figured 70242.241 might be hard to say so I'm changing mine to The Savior model #70242.241 | |
| NBS statement vs Whale elite powerchord I agree with Dubya, I own both and find the NBS more open, more air, a better presents. That's not to say the Whale isn't an excellant cord, it may have a better bass. The NBS is on my SCD-1 and the Whale on my amp. The NBS is a perfect cord for t... | |

| Wisdom Audio Adrenaline 75 dipoles? I heard the Adrenaline when the inventer brought them by to our audio club a couple years ago. I felt they were good speakers, but have heard many as good or better in the same price range. My experience was in a room of other people, so it wasn't... | |
| Shunyata Hydra I second Samuels' assesment of Stewart. I've bought a few things from him and find him to be extremely knowledgeable, very helpful and has taken the time I needed of him to answer my questions. To put down a guy and his whole clientle is mighty bo... | |
| Do I really need a preamp? You don't have to have a pre-amp with a variable output digital system. Alot of people think it's best not to add another layer of curcuit into the chain. I have done it both ways and tend to like what a pre-amp adds to the sound. I realize I'm ad... | |
| Powerchord with the best tight bass ?? I'll through in a vote for the Whale Elite! Great cord at an extremely reasonable price. Not only is the bass great but I find it very nicely detailed and presents a deep, wide soundstage. | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Cornfed, that isn't quite what I ment to say. I was trying to say that if you have a $15,000 amp and three thousand additional dollars to spend, IMO a $3000 power cord will make a larger improvement than upgrading to an $18,000 amp. I would never ... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System My total cable investment (retail) is almost as much as yours. My total system is a bit over half yours. Yes there must be a point of diminishing returns, but I cann't say I've found it. I think a $3000 investment in a power cord vs. a $3000 addit... | |

| Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help Rcprince, very well stated. I have no idea why your Forsell is so scared of the Sony, but that alone justifys the purchase. J.D. | |
| Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help Thank-you Martice. Well stated Ears, you'll be very happy. The funny thing to me is these machines are soooo cheap compared to the simmiliar sound quality cd only machines that you can afford to upgrade interconnects and isolation, thus receiving ... | |
| Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help Well Martice, you've got me confused. The quotes below are from your own post 2/11/01 and I swear it sounds like you feel the 9000ES is not capible of playing and then later of improving your existing standard cd collection, and later again that t... | |
| Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help Hello Mcfly, Martice. Are you listening? The 9000ES can be bought for about $1100. It has been stated many many times here on Audiogon that the sound quality ON STANDARD REDBOOK CD is as good as most outboard dac systems and as most upsampled cd s... | |
| Auditioning Audio Gear - The Music Used I have a few "test" disks. They change from time to time, but each disk has a distinct purpose. I, like Craig find vocals to help a lot. I use Eva Cassidy "Time After Time" to see how smooth the treble is. This disk is not as well recorded as I'd ... |
