| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? I think all of us are on this thread because we have found that we like the 'sound' of gold and gold alloys better than copper or silver cables. I cannot say that I have tried them all, I've never even heard of the KCI or Antipodes, there are just... | |
| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor Audiobroke, I can see from your system pics that you have big balls my friend. Congrats on a lesson well learned, before it was too late. | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? It would appear that Plutos is jumping into any thread that Jazzmeup has replied to. Sorry for your loss Plutos, may I suggest that next time you use a credit card through Paypal. If I am buying a big ticket item, and can't pick it up in person, o... | |
| Power Cord Revelation You will get no real scientific explanations, only psuedo-science, but yes, it is real. I fought it for years before listening for myself about 6 years ago. I am now of the same mindset that you are, that the power cord makes more of a difference ... | |
| Buying from Canada a hassle for you too? Actually, I have had no bad experiences buying from Canada, but I have had a couple problems shipping to Canada. The problem is with Fed Ex Ground, which is seperate for the Fed Ex Air. The problem I had was Canadians not paying the import tax, wh... | |
| How good is the Rowland Concentra Phono Board I always thought it was a very good inboard stage. Possibly only bettered by the inboard phono on the VAC Renaissance preamps, though the Rowland stage will give you more gain for more cartridge flexibility.I would think you would have to go above... | |
| Solid State Phono Preamp. Walker Audio Reference phono stage would be at the top of my list.Cheers,John | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Art,I'm glad that you have found audio nirvana....it is a wonderful place to be. I knew right off the bat that those were your comments on Steve's latest Rapture ad, they must be some great i/c's. It would be fun to compare them head on with JD's ... | |
| Blue Ray & HD DVD discs No, Blu-Ray and HD-DVD will NOT play in a standard DVD player.I won't hedge bets on format wars anymore, I always seem to back the loser. :(John | |
| Looking for pricing advice for Modded SCD-1 I agree with both replies so far. Your pricing sounds like a good place to start, and maybe you'll get lucky, you only need to find one buyer. However, my experiences with modded units is more like Chuck's. You would do well to re-coup 25-30% of t... | |
| Do flexible speaker cables exist? Transparency, liquidity and neutrality for $1K at new prices.........hmmmmm, you've certainly stumped me. That's asking an awful lot, don't you think? How about buying used? You may be able to get a pair of Stealth Hybrid MLT's for close to $1K on... | |
| Do flexible speaker cables exist? Are those really your speaker cable qualifications? There are many, many cables that will fit into your description, including cables from Radio Shack or Wal-Mart.IMHO, sound is the primary job of a speaker cable, but that could just be me. I may ... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase Audiobb, yes, to me, the difference between the words girlfriend and wife is like the difference between the words new and old. Quite large, if you will. I'm sure if you are with her long enough she will 'guide' you towards marriage, and if she's ... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase Audiobb, the key word is GIRLFRIEND. Girlfriends are much better than WIVES. GIRLFRIENDS are MUCH more understanding than WIVES, FME. GIRLFRIENDS are out to please the man because their chief goal is to become the WIFE. Once they have the saddle o... | |
| Curious about Audio Horizons TP3.0 Tube DAC I haven't heard the DAC, but I do know someone who owned both the SS and tubed DAC's from Audio Horizons. He preffered the SS DAC and sold the tubed version, which actually cost more....go figure.John |
