| Spectral DMC10-12 phono stage gain The phono stage and line stage gain values can be summed up. So the Spectral combo should have a gain of 70 or 76 dB versus your current Klyne/ARC combo gain of 68 dB.Cheers,John | |
| Any truth to keeping the retail prices the same ? I know a fella that uses $20,000 speaker cables with $500 speakers and swears it sounds glorious. So no, you cannot make any rhyme or reason how anyone else chooses to slice up their pie. To each their own, what works for one may or may not work f... | |
| Primaluna ProLogue Five VS. Classe CA-150 Thank you B, I'm glad that I could be of help. It's encouraging to know that someone takes what I say to heart. Lord knows that my wife and adult children don't. ;)Enjoy the music,John | |
| What is Low Impendance for an interconnect? 01-19-14: DsperSo if I am trying to buy a pair of interconnects that do not color the sound, what does one look for in terms of construction and measurements?Unfortunately, this is not so easy to do for the many reasons that Al has already mention... | |
| Tar labs RCS CD veses AP solo crystal oval Well there are many years between my experience with the Tara Labs RSC CD and the AP Solo Crystal Oval, but I would say that I definitely prefer the sound of the Tara Labs cables. I've owned many variations of Tara Labs over the years, and current... | |
| Fake Audioquest sky cables I have owned Audioquest Sky, and I know that there are a lot of fake Audioquest cables out there, as well as fake cables from other manufacturers, but I haven't been able to compare the authentic with the fakes. Audioquest has a AudioQuest Authent... | |

| Pass Labs Point 8 Series info @Tom6897, I don't know that an economy with a hole in the middle is healthy, but I'm sure it looks that way from the top. The economy doesn't look too healthy from down here. Indicators can be misleading as figures lie and liars figure. | |
| Primaluna ProLogue Five VS. Classe CA-150 LOL! Man B_limo, you want it all!! More warmth and bloom, AND more sparkle and high end extension too??? Good luck brother!! Great taste AND less filling, yeah right. Don't believe the hype, you'll only set yourself up for disappointment.IMHO, the... | |
| What is Low Impendance for an interconnect? 01-16-14: AlmargBruce, no, but I wouldn't be surprised if in some systems your other suggestion might be found by some listeners to work just as well as that interconnect. Provided, of course, that the string has good pedigree and is well vetted b... | |
| Pass Labs Point 8 Series info 01-16-14: UnsoundIs it just me, but is this line getting seriously expensive?It's just a reflection of the overall economy. As the middle class continues to shrink and more of the money is passed up to the haves, the market is simply adjusting. It... | |
| Primaluna ProLogue Five VS. Classe CA-150 01-16-14: B_limoHonestly though, you hit the nail on the head. Problem is, I have made deceisions in this audio game that were steps sideways, or even backwards, and it also cost me money to add insult to injury.I know what you are saying B, we've... | |

| Primaluna ProLogue Five VS. Classe CA-150 Sounds like you have some decision to make. You want to have your system sound potentially better, but you don't want to risk disappointment. Which is stronger? Your sense of adventure, or your fear of failure? You will have to wait until one urge... | |
| What is Low Impendance for an interconnect? 01-16-14: AlmargIt is unimaginable to me that any half-way competent designer would create an interconnect cable having a resistance that remotely approached several thousand ohms.The only one that I can think of is David Magnan and his Magnan Sig... |
