You do realize that Cardas is not the only cable manufacturer that comes out with new models to replace older models.....don't you?I can't recall any cables from any manufacturer increasing in value after being discontinued. Go ahead and hang on t... | |
| Need help in deciding I know what you mean about veiled Hiflyer, I gave up on high end SSP's musical ability about 12 years ago. I never did find one that handled music well.The AI Mod 3 is a very good preamp, and great bang for the buck. It's a shame it doesn't have a... | |
| New home for Avalon Ascendants I will be putting my Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun speaker cables up for sale in the May/June timeframe. They are 8 feet long and terminated at the amp end with spades and bananas on the speaker ends.Let me know if you have any questions or interest. | |
| Need help in deciding Choosing a preamp can be a very personal journey. I have found that finding the right preamp can be more difficult than finding the right ________.That said, what kind of sound are you looking for? New or used? More musicality or transparency? Tub... | |
| Cables more hype than value? 04-10-13: Audiolabyrinth@ jmcgrogan2, do not let this thread die!, we have to have it!, LOL! Why? Because human nature loves to watch a train wreck? The wreck happened a couple of months ago, all of the non-believers (Rok2id & Irvrobinson) hav... | |
| Review: High Fidelity Cables CT-1 Interconnect Interconnect 04-11-13: Fplanner2000An easier, less expensive idea would be to just rent what you want to try from the Cable Company. I'm pretty sure they stock most of them. Be sure to inquire how many hours are on whichever you decide to rent.That sounds like... | |
| Review: High Fidelity Cables CT-1 Interconnect Interconnect Thanks Fplanner2000. How does the depth of stage compare to say a Purist Audio Design cable? Don't get me wrong, the Virtual Dynamics soundstage was very large, as high and wide as I've ever heard, it did come from well outside the speaker boxes, ... | |
| Van Alstine Synergy amps: Are they quality sound? 04-11-13: SunnyjimTo.Mr JMC Grogan, Relax, I was just being facetious. Most of these audio pundits have ears stuffed with cotton when they go to audition high-end. Don't worry about me Jimbo, one can't help but be relaxed with all the quality ente... | |
| Review: High Fidelity Cables CT-1 Interconnect Interconnect I've heard a lot of buzz around these cables, but as someone who was not a fan of Virtual Dynamics cables, let me ask a question. Does the CT-1 soundstage have the same immediacy of the Virtual Dynamics cables?I thought the tonal qualities of the ... | |
| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , Norm, Keith is relatively new here at Audiogon, and he is not familiar with your past experiences, which I have a lot of respect for. He has a burning passion for Tara Labs cables, which should explain his enthusiasm. The CT-1 design sounds intrig... | |

| Van Alstine Synergy amps: Are they quality sound? 04-10-13: SunnyjimYes, as you guys have noted, I guess advertising determines a company's recognition among the audio literati; I thought they were committed to reviewing the best products??? LOL!!! Oh if only that were true, and all salesmen and ... | |

The same ca... | |
| Preamp for BAT VK-500 power amp Perhaps a used BAT VK-3iX. | |
