| Holy Crap What have I done? Some different thoughts here: you said when you added the crossover to the system, it sucked all the air out of the music. Are you talking about the portrayal of space, harmonic richness, textures, etc.? If so, the crossover betwen your preamp and... | |
| Coincident TRS Extreme ic's anyone? I had the Coincident Extreme speaker cables for 2 months while I was comparing to Purist Opis speaker cables. The Coincident are excellent in tonal coherency with mighty fine resolution. They were a huge step above the TRS cable which was rather n... | |
| Electraglide Epiphany , Upgrade or Downgrade? I believe the thread that Lak refers to is this. My house was the first of three places where this power cable shootout occured. All three of us were mightily impressed with the Epiphany X but it was really the Kubala-Sosna Emotion that was the ov... | |
| What Speaker for 50 wt Tube Amp- Talon speakers if you can find them in the $2k range. | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? 500 hours to achieve the point of usability? I have to listen to a forward and fatiguing musical presentation for 6 months (20 hours a week) before I can enjoy my music again? I don't think so! Who is going to put up with this? And then how do we ... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Wow, I came back to this thread to learn more of Guido's progress with burn-in, and I see that once again a bunch of posts have been removed. What happened? Another fist fight in here? | |
| Best preamp for CAT JL2 amplifier For the last two months I have done some serious comparisons of the Aesthetix Io/Callisto vs. the CAT Ultimate II driving CAT JL-3 Signature amps. There are significant differences here with each "preamp" having strengths over the other. Both prea... | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? Some comments here based on the last few posts:Once again, what is "hooded"? Does this imply constrained dynamics or maybe a clipped-off top end or ....? Neither of these were my observations with the AA. Again, my experiences were the opposite; t... | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? Cmo, did you check to see if Guido left barefooted after that cable audition? | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? What does "hooded" mean? And closed in? Now we have the extremes ... "closed" and overly forward to the point of major fatigue. Don't think I ever read about cables that give everyone here such a different result. | |
| Purist or Kubala-which to buy for entire system Sirspeedy: Kubala-Sosna cables do not come in a "phono" or "tonearm" design. When Joe Kubala visited my home last year, I asked this question and he told me his RCA cables would work just fine for this application. And since my Clearaudio tonearm ... | |
| Contribute to best speaker count. Magnepan 3.x series - Absolutely the best value in musicality. You need to spend 4-5x as much to move up to the next level (SoundLab). | |
| Purist or Kubala-which to buy for entire system Steve: I too have wanted to hear the SoundApplication PLCs after reading one great thing after another about these. I went out on a limb with the Audio Magic based on a lot of reading of PLCs and a recommendation by a local audiophile, Artg. When ... | |
| Purist or Kubala-which to buy for entire system Steve,First of all I wholeheartedly agree with Drubin.Interestingly enough, I am now a Purist owner. After hearing my system sound like never before when it was fully cabled by K-S Emotion, I had the opportunity to try a few Dominus cables in my s... | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? Guido: Are you talking of Orthomyxoviridae?Nutella, if you read my first post to this thread, I give a pretty good idea of the Aqueous Anniv XLR with the speaker cables. In a word: VIVID! Too much of a good thing. Highly colored! |
