| Silver vs. Cooper speakers cables >>There's no reason for a silver speaker cable to sound different from copper or gold, etc.<<Wrong | |
| Best female vocals on CD Mary Black | |
| B&W JM Labs or Paradigm Signature S8.....Help? With few exceptions B&W are dry, sterile, and boring speakers lacking musicality in the midrange. Stay away.The Von Schweikert recommendation is excellent. Tons of performance for the money and they will embarrass the 803D. | |
| What's your favorite Audiophile label, and why? Chesky | |
| Silver vs. Cooper speakers cables I feel that not enough attention is paid to aluminum.Good point. I stopped buying soda pop in those copper and silver cans years ago. The copper poured too slow and the silver poured too fast. Aluminum gave me just the right balance. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster or Nottingham Space Deck...? Readster, The Ace Space tonearm is quieter and tracks better than the JMW-9 which is flawed by design. The lack of anti-skating adjustment, despite Harry's protestations, prevents the arm from tracking properly. For grins and giggles, try a JMW-9 ... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster or Nottingham Space Deck...? Jeff Jones writes "A spacedeck with a quality arm from a different manufacturer (Rega?"Rega? Any Rega arm is a huge step down from the Ace Space arm.A serious analog discussion cannot include Rega tonearms. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster or Nottingham Space Deck...? The Ace-Space tonearm is superior to the JMW-9. | |

| Best digital cable to audition? Audience Au24. Not perfect but perhaps the best all around digital cable on the market. | |
| PMC speakers vs B&W... has anyone compared? Dry to me means not having a "musical" or "organic" character. Dry, lean, analytical, call it what you want but they do not convey music in a manner I find pleasing. I experience listener fatigue very quickly with B&W speakers. There are much ... | |
| PMC speakers vs B&W... has anyone compared? I agree with Brizonbiovizier. Most B&W speakers are slow, ponderous, and dry (an owner's way of saying precise I guess). It amazes me they have the following given the number of other choices. To each her own I suppose. | |
| Oracle Delphi MarkII or Music Hall7? Which one? Go with the Oracle. Music Hall is at best mid-fi hi-fi. It's a decent start but no more. The Project 9 tonearm extremely limits your cartridge choice. | |
| Wilson Audio, Talon, Rockport and B&W >>There is nothing for me to gain in this post. None of the speakers mentioned are lines I carry.<<Not true. By the simple dismissals of Rockport speakers (prior Rockport owners, more lifelike, overall more enjoyable, sound rubbery) yo... |
