| Elrod Statement Gold X2 or Purist 25 Anniversary Please have a seat, Bo will be along any minute now to pimp you on the wonders of the Purist Audio 25th Anniversary cord. ;^) | |
| Good SS amp for Cary SLP98? I was very happy with the CODA Model 11 amp (100 wpc pure Class A) I had running with my SLP98P. I recently switched to a VAC tube amp, which I slightly prefer, but the CODA comes really close. | |
| Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers? That is one of the best features of the Parsifals, they allow you to have the woofers firing forward or backward. This really helps to integrate them into many more rooms than speakers that don't have that flexibility. I'm glad that you are enjoyi... | |
| Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers? Try turning the speaker bass cabinet so that it faces forward, this should lessen the bass that disturbs the neighbors. Also, I know what you are talking about, I had to remake my cables after buying the Parsifals. I remember them sounding so grea... | |
| 6 new Totem Hawks vs Used Wilson set-up ? In this hobby, there is not a linear relationship between cost and better sound. You say you have "really fallen in love" with the sound of the Totem Hawks, I'd buy 6 used Hawks and spend the extra dough on upgrading your electronics. | |
| What most important in the sound of your cables? 06-13-14: DfontalbertSimply to be unobtrusive - add and detract nothing.Well that is a very common philosophy, but really means nothing in reality. Since no one can compare the sound of any cable directly to the sound of no cable at all, one can o... | |
| Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers? Them Parsifals didn't last long, huh Larrybou? I see that you have them up for sale. What next? | |
| What most important in the sound of your cables? Interesting Calvinj. I have not heard any of the High Fidelity power cords, only the CT-1 interconnects which I own. IMHO, these interconnects strengths are organic, natural, full-bodied sound. I would not say that they are fast sounding cables at... | |
| What most important in the sound of your cables? Well you basically covered speed, clarity, natural, and fullness. All nice features to have, but hardly companions, IMHO. All cables I have heard of vary between the full musical weight camp (sometimes too slow) and the speed and resolution camp (... | |
| Fusion Audio new Magic power cables Thanks for the mini-review Greg. Eric is a good guy to deal with. Have you heard his Enchanter cords? If so, how do the Magic compare to the Enchanters? | |
| Which would you choose? If those were my only two choices, I would lean towards the X-02. Though I somewhat agree with Zd542, you can do better than either. I've always preferred a tube preamp, but if you require SS, Klyne is the best I've heard, and what I would look fo... | |
| Speed Control Thanks for the clarification and the tip on Platter Speed Brf! | |
| Speed Control 06-09-14: BrfA SDS is a great unit for equalizing the variances in pulley, platter and belt machine tolerances. Not to mention variances in household voltages too. I thought the speed was supposed to be slightly faster than 33 1/3 when setting the... | |
| Do you put as much effort into your Car Audio? No, no effort at all in the last 30 years or so. I used to spend $$$ on car audio in the late 70's and early 80's, but I haven't spent a dime on car audio since the mid 80's. I would say that getting married and having kids took my focus from the ... | |
| Best speaker cable for Krell/Dynaudio? 06-08-14: SchubertUnfortunately you live in Europe?Wish I had some of that misfortune.Ditto!!!You should consider the Stealth Dream V10 speaker cables as well. |
