| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Sabai - your posts have a couple of things confused. As a long time S/R customer/user, I have taken advantage of their Passport Protection program to trade up to new technology on a couple of occasions. I find this to be a terrific program and one... | |
| Replacement for RA Opus 21 CDP Your original thought about the Cantata is probably your best thought. This is a wonderful sounding cdp that has enough digital options to make anyone happy. I have had mine for more than 18 months now and never get tired of hearing its presentati... | |
| Magnepan fuse voltage Stickman - you need to use 5A and 3A large, fast blow fuses on your Maggies. The voltage rating is of no concern as long as it is a value of at least 250V. Enjoy! | |
| Is 60dB gain enough for Kleos? Bifwynne, like you, I ended up with and am very happy with the Soundsmith VPI Zephyr cartridge. Prior to the Lyra carts, I have been using a Benz Ruby 3 which I really liked but which finally wore out. The Zephyr has the best channel separation an... | |
| Is 60dB gain enough for Kleos? HI Dave - the phono stage should be fine, BUT - I have tried both the Delos and Kleos in my JMW arm ( SuperScoutmaster) and have not been impressed with either. I have tried the same cartridges in gimbled tonearms and they are excellent, so I have... | |
| Synergistic ResearchReference .5 Xseries SpkrCable Hi Rgs92 - the .5 series cables are a hybrid cable made of 1/2 Signature 10 and 1/2 Resolution Reference. They should be a pretty good match with Sonus speakers. You will find S/R cables have a bigger soundstage and will be more dynamic (lively) s... | |
| Resolution Audio - Cantata Just to "pile on" a bit, I agree with all of the above posters regarding the Cantata. Yes, at $6000 it is not inexpensive, but I have never heard digital sound so involving and musical with detail, deep bass, and enagaing PRAT. While my analog sys... | |
| Best subwoofer under $1,500 for Magnepan 3.6R Hello Southern - I owned two of the Revel B12 subs and replaced them both with a Rythmik F15 sub and it was one of the best choices that I have made. The F15 made the Revels sound broken by comparison and was easy to dial in and fit perfectly with... | |
| Does surge suppressor negate upgraded power chords Hello Tommy - rather than getting into the fray that is certain to come, what do your ears tell you? Did the upgraded power cords make an improvement in what you hear from your system? If they did, then the question should really be "how much bett... | |
| Who make the pretiest cables, cords out there? I'll cast my vote for Crystal Cables - LOTS of WAF in those cables! | |
| Synergistic Research Tesla Apex vs. Tara the One I want to cast another vote for Synergistic here. In my system, the S/R's had far more realistic of a presentation, letting you hear what the recording engineer had in mind. The S/R cables also had the "edge" with transient response ( leading edge... | |
| speaker cables Gman, try calling the Cable Company and audition both S/R and Purist in your system. You might also want to try a pair of the Kimber Bi-Focal XL cables, which might just give you exactly what you are looking for. Enjoy | |
| Top 3 power cord for DAC I cast my vote for the Nirvana PC+MB as being one of the best power cords for DAC as well as integrated cd players. | |
| Tally up best preamplifier ever I cast my vote for the Veloce Audio LS1 battery powered tube preamp that made my Vac Renaissance sound broken by comparison. The Veloce phono stage that pigtails off the preamp is absolutely the best I have ever heard as well. | |
| Opinions: BALANCED cables for Aesthetix I would also suggest that you look into Silent Source Signature interconnects - great match with your electronics. Enjoy! |
