| Who do you like for equipment mods? Joseph Chow of AudioHorizons, the maker of preamps, cables, and DAC's that are highly popular on Audiogon. He has modified multiple pieces of equipment for me including an Aritight tube preamp (took a very nice piece and made it stunning), AudioVa... | |
| Vincent Amps I would say the Translucent has the blacker backgrounds and; extension would be a literal tie between the Translucent and the LAT international and the soundstage width/depth to the LAT by a hair. Both cables have "different" but excellent sound. ... | |
| Vincent Amps Dabarrie, the Translucent speaker cables are, in my system, nothing short of fabulous. I knew this literally within minutes of putting them in my system. They cost almost twice as much as my LAT international top of the line speaker cables and the... | |
| Vincent Amps I have the Sheng Ya (Vincent) 300 WPC monoblocks ( first 100 W in class A). They sound fabulous on my Audio Physic Avanti Century speakers. I use Translucent (gold/silver) speaker cables and have a Paul Speltz naked autoformer connected to them. I... | |
| Parasound P/LD-2000 preamp mods? Joseph Chow of Audio Horizons modded my cheap parasound (but excellent sounding) preamp and took it to a whole 'nother level. He advertises on this site, shoot him an email. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I just got my uprgraded pre-amp back too. It is a step up, for sure than the fine stock unit. The sound coming out now is really excellent and quite satisfying........Joseph Chow hits another homerun! | |
| Best Recordable CD-R Media ??? Nmp69, I did not know this! Thanks! The Apogee and Mobile Fidelity are a lot more expensive obviously. | |
| Best Recordable CD-R Media ??? OK, I've ordered the Tayio Yuden and Mitsui CD -R discs. Any thoughts on the Apogee Gold or the Mobile Fidelity Gold recordable CD media? Comparisons to the two discs that I just ordered?Thanks. | |
| Best Recordable CD-R Media ??? Thanks! i will try the Taiyo Yuden and Mitsui products. | |
| Power Cords on a $1000 budget what would you do? If you like your amplifier, you might consider sending it to Joseph Chow at Audiohorizons and let him upgrade it. He worked wonders for my AudioVanAlstine fet-valve amplifier. If you don't like the amplifier that much I wouldn't upgrade it. Upgrad... | |
| Tired of Expensive Speaker Cable. Alternatives? In my system, the LAT international silver/copper hybrid clearly sounds better than the anti-cables - not even close. I won't spend truckloads of money on a cable, but there is a difference. However, LAT cables may not sound better in other people... | |
| Tired of Expensive Speaker Cable. Alternatives? LAT international makes a very nice set of speaker and interconnect cables; Joseph Chow at Audio horizons makes nice speaker wire as well. I have the anti-cables and in my system, or maybe my ears, I thought they were OK but let through some digit... | |
| The best CD Player for the money The Meridian G-08, a player that can be had for about 2400 - 2500 bucks is a phenomenal player. The best? I haven't heard enough players to be able to even remotely venture that it is. But when I put this in my system (modified AVA Fet-Valve ampli... | |
| Flexible mid-range cable suggestions? Top end LAT international silver/copper hybrid cables. * feet will run under 500 bucks. They are awesome. | |
| Audiogon speaker wire gurus, please help me Save some dough. Try the LAT international top end speaker cables. An 8 foot pair new will set you back about $450 bucks. I have them (the older version not the latest) in my reference system. They are outstanding. Cables definitely sound differen... |
