| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Cdwallace, you will not find any objectivist charts to show you the difference between digital and analog. If that is what you are looking for, it doesn't exist. If you would rather not be bothered with analog, that is fine also. I concur with Mik... | |
| In the market for a plasma.........suggestions? I just bought a Esoteric DV-60. I find the picture is much better than my Denon 5910. | |
| In the market for a plasma.........suggestions? I broke down and bought a 50" Toshiba plasma this year. Yeah, the Pioneer plasma's are the best that I've seen, but they were out of my price range. For my eyes, LCD and DLP don't compare visually to plasma. Yeah, the gas burn out does scare me, b... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Here is an update on this thread. The originator, Musicaudio (Andrew), after being very impressed by the Esoteric DV-50S, as stated in the beginning, became much less impressed after owning it for a week, and has now sold it.So I guess that means.... | |
| Amps and Quatros Congrats on the Calypso, it is a fine preamp. Tube preamps with SS amps are a popular combination. I would check out the McCormack 500 that you've previously mentioned, as well as the Ayre V-1xe or MX-R mono's that Theo mentioned.You may also want... | |
| Amps and Quatros LMAO! I was wondering about that Iraqi Mountain Audio Fest.I thought they might use camels as room treatments. :-)Cheers,John | |
| New Avatar ? I've heard that VAC put the Avatar Super on the shelf because it wasn't cost effective. They are working on a new integrated amp, I don't know if it will still be called the Avatar, but they are trying to increase the profit margin on their entry ... | |
| Live classic 70s Southern ROck...... Ya gotta have The Allman Brothers Band cranking. Ramblin' Man, Blue Sky, Melissa, etc....etc.... | |
| Speakers cables that are warm yet detailed........ Cardas Golden Reference is definitely warmer than Tara Labs Decade. I know, I've owned them both. Yes, the CGR has more detail than other Cardas cables, but I still would say it's on the warm side. The Cardas Neutral Reference is the most, well, n... | |
| Analytical, revealing COPPER w/ Chris,How about with Theil, Wilson or other speakers that are more revealing?That is why they make so many flavors anyway.Cheers,John | |
| Speakers cables that are warm yet detailed........ With respect, John, the man has specifically said he's looking for warm yet detailed cabling. Given this preference and his gear, I don't think musical choice has much to do with it. Are you suggesting that his taste in music will have a significa... | |
| Analytical, revealing COPPER w/ The XLO Signtaure is by far the BEST copper cable I have experienced in my system. However, I would not describe them as "edgy" or "analytical".I have. Chris, I'm glad you are really enjoying the XLO Signature 2's, but remember, cables are system ... | |
| Speakers cables that are warm yet detailed........ While Grant does have a point, there is still a piece missing, the listener's personal preferences. I've known people who have owned the same equipment as myself, yet we disagree on cables because our musical choices and tastes are different. So c... | |
| I have posted my system to Virtual System Well on paper it looks very nice indeed, but all that really matters is what YOU think. | |
| Speakers cables that are warm yet detailed........ I second the Tara Labs reco, they balance very well between detail and musicality. I might recommend you try The One's.Happy Hunting Gary,John |
