| WATTS/PUPPYS HELP Without a doubt, Transparent Refence XL cables. The speakers are internally wired with them and I have never heard anyhting that has the control that these cables have. | |
| Lamm electronics and Sound Lab I disagree with Dkuipers. I would find speakers I like and build a system around them. The Sound Labs are marvelous. They sound great with the Atma-Sphere MA-1 or MA-2 OTLs as well as the Viva SETs. None of the speakers he mentioned have the same ... | |
| Counterpoint SA 220,Comments anybody? Philefreak: Justlisten is talking about totally different equipment then I mentioned. The VT100 MKIII is far superior to anything he mentioned. | |
| Counterpoint SA 220,Comments anybody? If you are going to spend that kind of money, try listening to an Audio Research VT100 MKII or III in your system. It is fantastic. I used to own Counterpoint equipment and I feel the ARC smokes it. To put that kind of money into it is CRAZY! | |
| SACD vs. DVD-A and Audio DVDs There is a HUGE difference between SACD and CD. It is like listening to live music vs. a car stereo. It is easily the best I have ever heard. I personally have not heard DVD-A as of yet, but I find it hard to believe that it could be as good as SACD. | |
| Sonic quality of Marantz SA 1 for CDs? Hey Brulee: I just thought the CD side lost a bit of depth and warmth. But there is no doubt that the SACD spanked anything else I have ever heard, including vinyl. Viva le SACD :) | |
| buying used speakers It is just as risky as answering a classified ad in Sterophile or TAS. Although there are some preditors out there, most people on Audiogon appear to be extremely honorable. I have had many dealing and have only had one incident with a gentleman n... | |
| Sonic quality of Marantz SA 1 for CDs? I thought as far as CD players go, it was very good. I personally like the sound of a very good separate transport and DAC combination. The Linn CD12 is the exception. I really think having the SACD is worth a bit of sacrifice on the CD side. | |
| Difference between ARC 600 MK I / MK II Directly from Audio Research: There is good news for REFERENCE 600 owners. The same sonic improvements found in the new REF300 can be obtained in a Mark II Factory Update program for the REF600. Original REF600 units are literally taken apart and ... | |
| WILSON WATT 5.1 Transparent Reference cables are highly recommended with any of the Wilson speakers. | |
| OTL amps For electrostats they are exceptional. | |
| Tube Amps for Coincident Super Eclipse Do yourself a favor and listen to the Audio Research VT100 MKII or MKIII. It should be as good as it gets. | |
| Theil/Classe 6, and listener fatigue I disagree with joe_coherant. I find the entire Theil line to very much on the fatiguing side. Way to edgy for my tastes in the highs. I would recommend going to a tube amp and/or preamp to tone down the sizzle of the solid state gear. Good luck, ... | |
| Linn system: speaker matching You may want to email David Robinson, the editor of "Positive Feedback" magazine. You should be able to find the website at: http://www.positive-feedback.com David is a big fan of Linn gear and if he has time may make some recommendations. What ev... | |
| Beautiful Speakers I agree with the Amati Homage. They are stunning and the workmanship is wonderful. Maybe you can specify what price range. |
