| Trade offs? 03-15-09: TvadWell, I disagree somewhat with Plato. If the majority of your CDs sund harsh, it could be that the majority of your CDs are poorly recorded and your resolving system is exposing their flaws.I have far fewer well recorded CDs in my sy... | |
| Is the Walker Audio Updated Phono one of the Best? Robert,I have not heard Lloyd's current Reference phono stage. I did hear his previous Version of the Reference phono stage, in his system. I was very impressed, but it was hard to point to who was doing what.I own an older, discontinued Walker Si... | |
| Has anyone ever cried listening to your system This thread has come up before, but I'll respond anyway. I've never cried listening to music, nor has anyone that I know.....not that there's anything wrong with that.Cheers,John | |
| Is cable synergy important? Well all that sounds great Lacee, and if you do not have a vested interest in Clear Day, it may even be moving. However, you do go on to state your lack of experience with mix and match vs. all of one brand cable, and I can say that I have had ple... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Newbee, I am praying for you....and me too. My first reply was in 06/01, and now I am under the impression that the answer is NOT AVAILIBLE. One cannot get off the merry-go round, unless, as Cyclonicman suggests, one gets off the merry-go-round an... | |
| Is cable synergy important? Entrope, good catch. The original post does come off smelling like a shill for Clear Day cables.Just in case it is not though, I believe in cable synergy, but that doesn't necessarily mean all cables from one manufacturer. I've had success and fai... | |
| Preamp PC - Elrod Sig II or SR Tesla T2 or ?? The S.O.T.U. is the current top cord from the 'new' Electraglide, whatever that means. It is also grounded. The Epiphany X was the top of the line from the 'old' Electraglide a couple of years ago, but as I recall, it was ungrounded. Take that for... | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? I would recommend one of Lloyd Walker's phono stage's, or if you cannot find one of those, try an Einstein's Choice stage.Cheers,John | |
| Verastarr Grand Illusion Series II Power Cord Jeez, Mike's already out with a Series II? I did buy a pair of his Grand Illusion (Version I, I suppose), about 3 months ago. I was very impressed, as I posted in my response to the original Grand Illusion review on 1-20-09. Verastarr Grand Illusi... | |
| Power conditioning I have owned many PC's including PSA and Shunyata. I would recommend the RSA Haley.Cheers,John | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Hey Art....old buddy old pal.....I suggest you just throw those no good LP's away....they have no real value....who wants vinyl these days?.....just send them to me and I'll have them destroyed for you. ;DCheers,John | |
| Seeking advice on tube amps Grant (Tvad), you still may be scaring the OP from tubes (and we all know tubes rule).From what he currently owns, and all that is on his list, he sounds like he is in the push-pull tube land. There really are very few speakers that some tube amp ... | |
| Preamp PC - Elrod Sig II or SR Tesla T2 or ?? Jim,Again, if it's depth in soundstage that you seek, I would choose a Elrod EPS-2 Signature cord. I would also recommend trying a Jade Audio Vermeil interconnect. I have recommended these i/c's to a few, and they all have thanked me. Very hologra... | |
| Preamp PC - Elrod Sig II or SR Tesla T2 or ?? Jim,With all due respect to Chuck (Krell-man), knowing you as I do, I do not think the Silent Source Signature (SSS) cords are what you are looking for. Yes, they are very neutral, and work well in some systems, in others they can sound lean or th... | |
| Seeking advice on tube amps Grant,For the most part I agree with you. I'm just playing devil's advocate here, as I do know folks who have fell in love with the sound of a specific amplifier, and proceed to find speakers that best suit the amp. Granted, most do it the other w... |
