| At what distance are balanced XLR cables needed? IOW if you can hear differences in the cable between the line section and the power amp, then the cable is not being controlled.Hmmmm, now there's a pretty serious generalization. I have heard significant differences between IC's in the critical l... | |
| At what distance are balanced XLR cables needed? I ran a 30-feet Purist Dominus RCA-RCA IC from Aesthetix Callisto Sig line stage to CAT JL-3 amps for a few years and had no problems with noise, radio station pickup, etc. My experience with this one setup nullified many of the theories regularly... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Come and get it. 3D and synergy and it's best. | |
| Dartzeel Phono Preamp? Why does it have to be Dartzeel? To "integrate" with a Dartzeel based system? | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Sorry Mr Tennis but I disagree. There might be 1000s of great italian restaurants out there but there are maybe a dozen "great" CD players out there. And to read about a comparison of a handful of these I find to be of great value.these tests are ... | |
| Gabriel Gold vs Marigo vs NBS Rtn1: Stunning system you have. Absolutely beautiful to see the match with the speakers and rack. And great picture of Scott and Steve. I always enjoy getting together with JD and Scott to discuss our latest audio news. Much much fun.And thank you... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Yes Sabai, I have followed your comments here. And right out of the gate, you wasted no time to bash the report of the shootout. I found it rather disrespectful and ignorant as you disregarded much of what I and others found to be of value.I could... | |
| Gabriel Gold vs Marigo vs NBS Bsimpson: As I read your latest post here, I have to wonder if you are making the same mistake that I was making a few years ago. For a short time I was using a long pair of MIT ICs from line stage to amp and a pair of Coincident speaker cables. A... | |
| Gabriel Gold vs Marigo vs NBS Yoby: When my system was loaded with NBS Statement back in 2005, I very much liked the Kubala-Sosna Emotions but ultimately I went with the Purist Dominus throughout except for speaker cables, Purist Opus. The Purist cables had incredible dynamic ... | |
| Gabriel Gold vs Marigo vs NBS Bsimpson: You are pretty much the only other person here, other than myself, that was disappointed with GG cables. I took a lot of flack in the GG thread but it did not matter. In my system, I heard what I heard, and I described it in detail. And ... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players How did this thread go from a report on the differences between CD players at one's home to a report over three years later on how phenomenal Sabai is at assembling an audio system? Ugh! | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Sabai: Ok ok ok ok, you made your point. Now let go. Be proud of your discovery of the EMM and leave it at that! | |
| Who is the KING of MONOS? No, I prefer my amp because it can handle speakers beyond the simple benign impedance. If an amp is "rated" at much higher power output, but then falls apart when trying to drive the speaker that the much lower rated amp can handle, then Houston, ... | |
| Who is the KING of MONOS? Paimei: Synergy is often a term used when someone applies a bandaid in a system to compensate for a flaw elsewhere. The importance of the amp/speaker interface is not so much about synergy but rather, compatibility.And again, contrary to the comme... | |
| Who is the KING of MONOS? Paimei, I am not "with" Audiofeil at any time. However, he has far more knowledge and experience in this field than you realize. He just happens to have a low tolerance of nonsense here and his posts often reflect this.There is no way any amp can ... |
