| Need "warm" interconnects advice 06-25-14: LaceeForget "warm" look for uncoloured cables.I see this comment quite a bit, many times coming from those who use warm sounding electronics or speakers. I guess it always makes me wonder "Why does it matter how you get there"? If you ar... | |
| Speaker cable manufacturers Well, since you seem to enjoy the QED, which is actually silver plated copper, not silver, you may look at other cables with similar conductors. Nordost and Audio Horizons offer silver plated copper conductors, among others I'm sure, but these are... | |
| Speaker cable manufacturers Jimbones, you say that you found the MIT MH750 not be clean/clear, which I agree with, however, you also say that you found it to sound forward and bright, which does not jive at all with my memory of this cable. It had a large, deep stage, but wa... | |
| Speaker cable manufacturers I guess I would ask what musical attributes are you looking for? How do you feel your system is lacking? Are you looking for cables that provide more power and fullness, or cables with more speed and resolution? Also, do you prefer a more immediat... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? I think it is because Asians tend to place more emphasis on music in their lives. It's a matter of cultural values, IMHO. There are many Asians at American HiFi shows. Also, many in my local Philharmonic Orchestra also happen to be Asians. I do no... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? I don't wish to start a battle between which Asian country makes which brand of gear. My original comment was simply noting the irony that while we Americans tend to buy Asian made gear, the Asian market is buying more American made gear. American... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? 06-22-14: PhdI wonder what manufacturers from Asia that Americans seek.I'm speaking for the vast majority of Americans. Sony, Marantz, Denon, Onkyo, etc., sell audio gear to the vast majority of Americans. In the high end scene there are Shindo, A... | |
| A New Superstar Power Cord Ozzy, you're such a cord teaser!! ;^) | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? I have heard from a couple of USA manufacturers that 75% of their business is from Asia. Rather ironic that most Americans buy Asian audio gear while the Asians are buying American gear. | |
| Sumiko Celebration II and VPI JMW 10 original ? It sounds like its time for a two armed turntable. I can certainly relate, as I was using a Sumiko Blackbird cartridge prior to the XX-2 that I'm currently running. Yes, the XX-2 is more powerful and revealing, and can make some recordings sound w... | |
| Thomas Mayer 46 SE tube AMP? What's it worth Start an auction and find out what they are worth, or you could subscribe to bluebook or check Ebay completed listings. | |
| Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers? 06-16-14: Larrybou The design and engineering that went into these Veritys is truly impressive. No longer for sale. Back up for sale as of 6/18. LOL!! Keep us posted on what you wind up with. | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? One of the speakers mentioned that his son was not the least bit interested in his rig and if something was to happen to him, his son stated it all would be put up for sale on Ebay.As a father of 3 sons ages 30, 27 and 23, I can fully relate with ... | |
| Father's Day For An Audiophile I've never gotten any gear as a present, I think because they know that they do not understand my tastes, and they are fairly confident that I would just sell (or not use) anything they bought me. It doesn't bother me, I don't buy my wife's clothe... | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review I lost respect for JA many, many years ago, when he was pimping the hell out of ML gear. Every unit I tried sounded awful in my room to my tastes. I think he should just stick to measurements, I think he's deaf. |
