| Which is the best CD-Player up to $ 10k ? 08-05-08: Cincy_bobJohn, I understand your point, and I don't disagree. The only thing I might add is that I do think it is possible to put together an audio system that is faithful to the sound of live music and that does not require any of the c... | |
| Which is the best CD-Player up to $ 10k ? Cincy_bob, what Argyro is saying is that it is best to have a very revealing source, and then you mask it downstream with cables, speakers, amps, et al.As I said before, there are many ways to accomplish good sound. Some, like Argyro, prefer a tru... | |
| Which is the best CD-Player up to $ 10k ? 08-05-08: ArgyroIf you like a soft, pleasing sound, with more body that what was recorded go for the AMR. If you like to hear what is exactly written on the cd (WITHOUT BEING HARSH) go for the EMM LABS CDSA.You may want to write IMHO (In My Humble... | |
| Members with No Feedback Tgrisham, I'm not sure, but I don't believe you can buy a USPS Money Order in Japan. That's why I assume it will be drawn on an International bank. He did not mention USPS MO. My banks have told me it could take up to 30 days for an International ... | |
| silver with tubes and copper with solid state ?? I would say there is some truth in your general assumptions, at least from my experiences. I wouldn't say it is an iron clad rule, but there is some truth to it.Also, when using silver cables, I find ribbon silver conductors to sound smoother than... | |
| Members with No Feedback Alright, here's another twist. Normally, I will ship immediately upon receiving a MO. However, I currently have a sale pending waiting for a International MO from a no feedback member. My question is, still ship immediately, or wait awhile for the... | |
| Cables for my system? Hi Mike,I do agree with your assertation that cable recommendations are dicey at best....but are you simply copying and pasting your responses now?04-26-08: MajicjazzCable recommendations are very difficult to make as each system is different and ... | |
| Cables for my system? Jeez, thanks Chuck. It's good to know that some of my insanity is appreciated. ;)Anyway, Rene, I would find it in bad taste to push my own wares, so I won't. From what you are describing, I could have a couple of recommendations though. Stealth ac... | |
| Adcom GFP 750: why spend more? I'm sure you feel your new Adcom preamp sounds better than a JVC or Pioneer receiver. Please educate me on the difference. How could a $1200 preamp sound better than a $250 receiver? Why spend more than $250 on a receiver?Bottom line, reviews don'... | |
| Cables for my system? Nice system Rene. Help us help you though. What direction do you want your system to go in? Faster, cleaner, more transparency, or sweeter, richer and more vibrant? Also, what kind of price range are you talking about? There is no one cable that i... | |
| High quality "locking" IEC connectors? I feel your pain. As far as gripping power goes, I have found Furutech connectors the best that are out there. Sonically, some will say the Oyaide sounds better, but none grip better than the Furutech.Cheers,John | |
| Stealth Indra Vs Purist Audio 20th Anniversary i/c Both are excellent cables that will shine with the appropriate gear. The 20th Anniversary will tend to favor systems that require a bit more musical weight and liquidity. The Indra will favor systems that require a bit more speed and resolution. W... | |
| Classe DR-6 or Adcom GFP-750 It sounds like you really want to buy the Adcom, so go ahead and buy it. Read the reviews that validate your perceptions and ignore the others.Cheers,John | |
| 2K-3K Cartridge for SME10/BAT VK-P10SE superpak Ahhhh....now that seems to make more sense.Happy Listening,John | |
| 2K-3K Cartridge for SME10/BAT VK-P10SE superpak I would say that your listening impressions resemble my own listening to a Lyra vs. a Dynavector. I am a bit curious though how this is just what you are looking for. In your original post you said " My listening priorities are a very dynamic, ful... |
