| Audioquest vs Acoustic Zen 02-13-14: Sksos1You will have to ask Mr Lee himself. I'm currently just listening to my system and enjoying the muzic and that's what this is all about.I'll take that as a sign that you are not carrying Acoustic Zen cables. Enjoy the muzic. ;) | |
| A New Superstar Power Cord 02-13-14: TimrhuInevitable? Sure, you know, the inevitable release of the LessLoss Signature Reference power cord. ;) | |
| A New Superstar Power Cord Neal, thanks for the tip, I may have to investigate further. For clarification purposes, could you mention some other high end cords that you have compared these to, and how the new LessLoss bettered them? Stealth, Nordost, Elrod, Purist, CHacoust... | |
| 3 speaker cable options - what to choose? I do believe that all 3 of those manufacturers offer a money back guarantee, so perhaps the best thing to do is to try them out for yourself and decide. Many will tell you what has worked best for them, but the chances are that your listening tast... | |
| Amplifier Input Impedance 02-13-14: AlmargJohn (Jmcgrogan2) & Bombaywalla, see what I meant when I said that "I don't have a good feel for what the inevitable tradeoffs would be." :-)You're still the man in my book Al! Who wants a silly SS amp anyway....I'll take your ... | |
| Audioquest vs Acoustic Zen Dennis, Steve did say that he is using McCormack's VRE-1b preamp and Atmasphere's M60 amps in his thread on 2/12. I also believe he mentioned earlier that he was using Acoustic Zen Crescendo speakers on 1/23. Though I don't recall him mentioning s... | |
| Why aren't new vacuum tubes as good as old ones? LOL! Sorry....every time I read Carson City I can't help thinking of the movie Con Air and Cyrus the Virus. LOL!USA! USA! USA! USA! | |
| Audioquest vs Acoustic Zen Interesting Steve, thanks for the comparison. I do realize that this is just in your system, and to your tastes, but it's interesting nonetheless. I'm not really surprised that $8K speaker cables bettered $1.2K speaker cables, though I guess I am ... | |
| Dynaudio contour with 30 watt amp Alright, we have had a myriad of responses, all with different, and confusing results. So let's go back to the original question and take a vote:"Will a 30 wpc tube amp damage Dynaudio Contour 2.8 speakers when listening at very low volume levels?... | |
| Amplifier Input Impedance 02-11-14: BombaywallaHow come Almarg hasn't spotted this thread as yet?? ;-)Even the great and powerful Al needs a little vacation time every now and then. ;) | |
| the 27 or 05 Two very different sounding units. The ARC will sound more revealing and articulate, while the Cary will sound more full and musical. You pays your money, you makes your choices. | |
| Amplifier Input Impedance I think the obvious answer is that the SS amp designer would prefer that you also buy their SS preamp. Yes, SS amps usually have lower input impedances than their tube brethren, but SS preamps usually have much lower output impedances than their t... | |
| Ken Shindo has passed RIP Ken Shindo, your legend will live on through your designs. | |
| Better when it rains? When it rains, I notice my system has more liquidity in the midrange. ;) | |
| Static electricity....again Obviously humidifiers are one of the most popular answers to this problem. As Elizabeth mentioned, boiling pots of water also will do the trick. It's simply a matter of adding water vapor to a dry environment. Folks who use vinyl, like me, are eve... |
