| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Correct me if I'm wrong here, but it is my understanding that Steve at GG makes and sells RCA and XLR cables....for the same price too. What am I missing here?Cheers,John | |
| Ayon Triton Integrated or Keep my BAT? Check with my friend Budburma. I know he bought one a couple of months ago and has raved about it to me. I haven't heard it, but it looks very promising. Send Art (Budburma) a PM if he doesn't see your thread.Cheers,John | |
| ARC LS26 performance for $2500-3000? One you may want to keep an eye out for is an Aesthetix Calypso. Sonically somewhat similar to the ARC LS-26, not quite as quiet as the ARC, but detailed, extended, musical and similar soundstaging. You should be able to grab a used one for around... | |
| Amp for Verity Parsifal encore I also own one of the last pair of Parsifal Encore's made before the transition to the Ovations. I bought them as dealer demo's in 08/05. I have since driven them with a BAT VK-600SE amp, Jeff Rowland Model 6 monoblocks, BAT VK-75SE amp modified b... | |
| anyone compared the hydra vs aR6 vs magic stealth I have not heard the Audience power conditioners, but I have heard the original Shunyata Hydra, Hydra 8, Stealth XXX and Matrix power conditioners. These guys are on opposite sides of the road, IMHO. Like comparing Cardas cables with Nordost cable... | |
| BAT Preamps, why such polarized opposite opinions? Tom,I don't think that Saki70 is asking why BAT made an integrated amp, but why they choose to use tube pre/ SS amp design, as opposed to say a full SS or full tube design. Many American designers, such as Cary, VAC, McIntosh, ARC, etc, as well as... | |
| Best redbook CD player Actually, just as much as I hate to admit it, MrT just might be on point on his reco here. Just look at this thread also posted today, to see some high end transport nightmares. Read Trejla's reply in particular, this from an importer/distributor... | |
| Analog Noob: I have a few questions 12-19-08: Casey33And get one of those Stepford wives,very low maintainence.Best advice I've seen in these forums in a long, long time.Cheers,John | |
| Need help on choosing power conditioner Well first of all, there is no 'best'. Many will have their opinions of 'best', but 'best' means many different things to many different people.That being said, and the fact that I haven't tried all of the products mentioned so far, currently I wo... | |
| What would happen if? I also would advise against it, for the reasons stated by Detlof and Xti16. | |
| Best redbook CD player Chashmal, I find some of your lingo a bit confusing. First, you start this thread entitled 'Best redbook CD Player', then it turns out that you are not looking for the best redbook cd player, but the best under $2500. Now I've already stated that ... | |
| Best redbook CD player Well, there is no actual 'Best', only subjective opinions of what is best. In your situation and price range I would look for a Resolution Audio Opus 21. Happy hunting,John | |
| Gabriel rapture vs Jade Hybrid :conclusions You already have some very nice cables, though I have not had a chance to hear the Pranawire Cosmos yet, I have heard great things about it.I know Jade offers a 30 day money back guarantee, and I think GG does too. Maybe you could buy one of each ... | |
