| The best speaker you ever heard? OP-to date- my reference loudspeaker is the current THIEL line-up. The CS 3.7, CS-2.7 or CS 1.7 is working well.A shout-out goes to the older CS 2.4 additionally.These are outstanding speakers and one would be hard-pressed to do better. Solid stat... | |
| Conrad Johnson Classic Sixty Viggen-the Classic 60 is a sonic match w/ B&W speakers.It has enough juice to make the floor -standers sing.Best mated w/ a CJ ET-3 / ET-3 SE pre-amp.You can use Audioquest or Transparent cable/cords as well.Keep us posted. | |
| What happened with the SACD format? Thankfully, it is alive and well. Kudos to Japan for keeping the torch burning. Amazon, Ebay, and other outlets offer the SACD disc(s). The newer generation via SHM are also avail. | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store Absolutely!you would want to stay current so when the up-grade bug visits, you will be ready. Also, some companies offer new gear every year, it is good to see and hear the updates.Keep us posted. | |
| Sloped baffle OP-Yes. It is important to have a sloped baffle loudspeaker.Today's drivers are very advanced in design and construction. Therefore, we (listener) want to get the maximum potential out of them during sessions IMO. | |
| Keith Jarrett &Charlie Haden: Last Dance. Stellar. I concur. 2 jazz legends indeed. I have heard a few trax-very well done. Still, I do not know why KJ vocalizes on recordings. It is unlike he is singing or something... | |

| Cheapest good sounding dvd player? I love my Pioneer Elite 59AVI and would 2nd the Elite 79AVi. Both can be had for little $$$ and have the best picture/sound for the price. Happy Listening. | |
| Best imaging and sounding bookshelf speaker I second the Sonus Faber. I would add the B&W 805D. Either way, you will be rocking! Keep us posted on your buying decision. Happy Listening. | |
| What happened to Audio Aero? My hope is that some other entity will revive this company.I have always wanted to demo these cd/sacd player(s).I do not know if the brand is representative in the U.S. anymore? | |
| Rogue Speaker cable: Hard to believe?? Sunnyjim,a few years ago, I had the pleasure of auditioning some Rogue Audio gear. The owner of The Listening Room in Baltimore, does not believe in over-priced (expensive) cable/cords. He was using Straight Wire brand, the cheapest models. The so... | |
| CJ preamp upgrade suggestions Nicely done Mfoley.Did you get any chance to demo an ART3 pre-amp. A little dated, I know. I would love to hear one of those wonderful CJ pre-amps. Keep us posted as your GAT breaks-in. Happy Listening. | |
| Has anyone heard the Stage III Kraken power cord I read Jack's review on Dagogo. Love his style and respect his writings. I concur. I do believe that the only pc that can beat (no pun) the Stage III concepts would be the HFC Ulitimate Reference Rhodium pc.Do any of you guys have a local HFC deal... | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review An audiophile friend has both the pulsar & perspective JA speakers. He uses Octave V110 integrated amp on them. The sound is very good, not outstanding, as these speakers are missing the bottom 2 octaves (no pun) of bass. Nothing that cannot b... | |
| Has anyone heard the Stage III Kraken power cord Are any of you guys using the latest/newer Stage III concepts power cord(s)? If so, which model with what brand(s) of gear? |
