| DAC for Music Vault Diamond Server? thanks Sc2. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? listen to a K2HD or XRCD 24; SACD perhaps. the former two play in regular CD players and in a good system sound phenomenal. Much better in fact than even most well recorded CDs. After listening to K2HD, I concluded there is no rationale reason for... | |
| Lead Shot Substitute for Loading Speaker Cabinets? Actually I LOVE these speakers. I am just trying to coax a little more out of them...maybe on the low end... | |
| CD Recorder :Fostex or Tascam? I have a modified (by Balance Power Technologies) Alesis ML9600; it makes much better CD's than the Fostex machine than I had. | |
| Ayre C-5xe vs Ayre C-7xe?? Mitch2, I sold my G08 because I got the upgrade bug. Sounds paradoxical to sell a piece of "beloved" equipment. However, if I made a mistake, I can always buy one back. I am an audiophile so I have eveery excuse not to be rationale. I am waiting o... | |
| Ayre C-5xe vs Ayre C-7xe?? Thanks Countingbackwards. I had already committed to buy a 5-MP before I read your reply. I will now get a chance to see what all of the hype is about SACD and DVD-A. Plus I will have a great player for my over three thousand CD's. The Meridian G-... | |
| Ayre C-5xe vs Ayre C-7xe?? Coolhand, thanks for your perspectives. Please enlighten me though on what you hear as the clear differences between Ayre and Meridian CD players.Thanks in advance. | |

| Is too much power in an amp really a problem? I run 300 wpc Sheng Ya monoblock solid state amplifiers on the low end and Wyred 4 Sound 125 wpc amps on the top end of Emerald Physic speakers. These are highly sensitive speakers yet they sound specatcular with the powerful amps I am using on th... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? I was a solid state amp/tube pre-amp man for years. My systems sounded great. Then I purchased Canary monoblock tube power amps and mono-block pre-amplifiers. I have not listened to my superb solid state set-up 30 minutes over the last month or so... | |
| Tube amps that kick ass? Canary CA-160 monoblocks, 140 wpc. I second their recommendation that was made to previously. I just bought a pair off Audiogon and to say the least I am very impressed. They really spank my Von Schweikert VR 4 JR's. The sound is excellent. Very g... | |
| Looking to Modify a Quicksilver Linestage Joseph Chow of Audio Horizon modified my quicksilver linestage. Turned a thousand dollar linestage into a very high performer. | |
| Looking for a good speaker cable for tube amps. I am running Morrow Audio SP-2 cables on my Canary Tube Monoblocks; using Von schweikert VR 4JR speakers. These speaker cables are superb and they are not even his top of the line. And they are relatively cheap, very flexible, and have great smoot... | |
| Powercords for Canary Monoblock Preamplifiers Sidssp - I can still hear a difference at 52 years old. maybe in a few years I won't be able to and I can unload my stash of power cords over three two channel systems for a bundle of cash. Nevertheless, I am not going to pay much over 250 - 300 d... | |
| Powercords for Canary Monoblock Preamplifiers Sidssp - I have not run stock power cords on anything because, big surprise, I am looking for better performance.I haven't bought any in a while; last time was when Lessloss had a sale for about $299. I have sticker shock looking at the prices now... |
