| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge I've owned the Airy 3, the 4D and the UNIverse. They all look very similar except for the labels. They have a similar house sonic signature, but do not sound the same. Some manufacturers make every model look different, not ZYX. | |
| Who makes the highest quality tube amps? McIntosh has a great reputation for reliability. | |
| Upgrade under $1000. Aragon or? In your budget you'll probably get the most bang for the buck with an integrated amp. You may be able to get a nice Ayre, Plinius or Krell for under $1500 used. Then you can sell your preamp and amplifier. IMHO it's not worth going to seperates un... | |
| Looking for a good set of speakers cables. I'm selling a great pair of Analysis Plus cables that would be perfect for you. ;) | |
| Nordost Valhalla Power Cords @Sidekick_i, yes, I have had Nordost throughout my system....twice. That's what I meant by "been there, done that". It didn't work for me, but that doesn't mean that it can't work for you. Nordost is intoxicatingly transparent, but both times I fo... | |
| How Important is power conditioning if you have I agree with Audiooracle. I too have (2) 20A dedicated lines with fancy Oyaide outlets, but Running Springs power conditioners are awesome, the best I have heard, and I've heard quite a few. I didn't care for the Running Springs power cord though,... | |
| Nordost Valhalla Power Cords Been there, done that Sidekick_i, but by all means, knock yourself out, it just might work.....for you. That's the thing about this cable business, what works for me or you, usually doesn't work for someone else. It is a very subjective topic. | |
| Which ARC reference component to upgrade? After many years of this hobby, I'm always ready for improvements which get me closer to the music. I'd say that is the fuel which Audiogon runs on. Indeed, that is the fuel that Audiogon runs on. Improvements....whether real or imagined. ;) | |
| Lyra Delos Congrats! Check back in and let us know how you are enjoying the Delos. | |
| Purist Audio, Venustas or Aqueous While I am not disagreeing how good the Venustas is, it is 4X's the price of the Musaeus. You are right, the ancilllary equipment should dictate which would work best. I don't see Venustas cables making sense in a $10K system.All I'm saying is tha... | |
| Got Ears? What you refer to as a 'developing ear', I refer to as training an ear. It basically only comes from experience. Learning what to listen for and how to listen. It's not rocket science, it just takes experience: time, patience and money to try many... | |
| Transfiguration Phoenix Now your wetting my lips for AZ Jeff. I have a pair of AZ Satori Shotgun speaker cables due in, hopefully next week. I actually received them already, but they were damaged on receipt. The seller was kind enough to take care of repairs, AZ has had... | |
| Purist Audio, Venustas or Aqueous Nsgarch, wouldn't that then make the Musaeus the "Venustas lite"? Musaeus, Venustas and Dominus are the only three cables in the PAD line to mix silver and copper conductors. | |
| Fair price for used B&W DM603 S3? You can look it up on Orion Blue Book or maybe try searching sold prices on Ebay. | |
| Most important vinyl component to upgrade first ? What component do you think would be most important soundwise, therefore what would you upgrade first?Yes, that is correct. :D |
