| Musical Fidelity A 3.2 current market value??? Look through the sold ads on Ebay. If you really want to find out it's current market value, post a no reserve auction starting at $1. In about a week, you will no what it's worth. | |
| New cart for under 1K I have owned the Dynavector XV-1s, XX-2 mk II, and 10X5, I have also listened extensively to the Transfiguration Phoenix and Orpheus L. Both will work well with the right equipment, but sonically, they are quite different.The Transfiguration cartr... | |
| Cables more hype than value? I believe Analysis Plus does this free promotion with musicians and studios marketing. | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 SE 05-16-13: BifwynneJust thinking out loud here about the Ref 10 series, priced at $30K. It's hard to believe that there's much of a market for gear at that price point. But maybe there is when one considers that there's a market for $100K+ Magicos ... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 SE Well considering that the average ARC preamp lifespan is 4-5 years, I can understand your thinking that a new model will be coming soon, perhaps at the 2014 CES. However, whether a new model is released or not, it will have no effect on the sound ... | |
| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , @Tbg, I must have misunderstood your response. Are you saying that audio system should be above family in life's priorities? That putting my family ahead of my audio system was an over the top reaction?You have to read the exchanges between myself... | |
| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , @Audiolab, It took me a long time, and personal issues to help me get my priorities in order. I spent many years doing what you are doing now, chasing the absolute sound. How do you think I wound up with a system costing well over $100K?? Health p... | |
| Shindo to open up Audio store in Los Angeles Do you think they will serve bacon? | |
| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , I thought you were using a The One, but I guess that's in another system. So you do have all the same brand, but Pops, Waxwaves and I didn't. I think you just claimed The Two was a bad choice because it didn't work for me. You have to admit that T... | |
| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , 05-11-13: Audiolabyrinth@ jmcgrogan2, The Tara the 2 was a bad choice for your experiment!, should have done another, the one i/c or the 0.8Ex !!,, Taras cable loom works best if you have all the same model like I do and waxwaves does!, my recent ... | |
| Transfiguration Phoenix S or Grado Statement 1? Congrats!!! I am jealous!!Enjoy the tunes! | |
| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , C'mon Dennis, just switch the Air 1's with the Q10's for an hour or so, to appease Keith. Heck, I even went out and bought another pair of Tara Labs interconnects just to try an all Tara Labs system, mostly due to his enthusiasm. Sure, it didn't w... | |
| Vac Phi 200 vs. Audio Research Reference 75 I have owned gear from both companies, they will both work well with the right equipment. The ARC will be more revealing, it is the most resolving tube gear I have ever heard. That said, some find it a bit too light for their tastes. The VAC is al... | |
| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , 05-10-13: Grey9houndi think that is darn good for the money and equipment that i have . I had better leave it alone for a while . If i change something again, i could mess up things.It sounds like you better leave it as it is. Too many times I hav... | |
| Upgrading amp Actually, after looking over your system again, I think your best bet is an integrated amp. Sell your Parasound PHP850 and the Adcom 545II, look for an Ayre Ax-7e, Plinius 8200, or even a Classe CAP-150 would be better than what you currently have... |
