| Quandry: Used Magico V2 vs. new S1 no disagreement from me Schubert. My only argument is that you ATTEMPT to duplicate at home what YOU hear at a live concert. I could be sitting right next to you at the concert and hear something slightly different from what you're hearing. Duplic... | |
| Quandry: Used Magico V2 vs. new S1 Golden ears my butt (with all due respect) ..I've spent 4 decades in some of the most respected recording studios in the world. Consider this. Pick a vocalist. In the most basic studio recording set-up, he/she would sing into a maybe an $8000 cond... | |
| Manufacturer Repairs? What is a reasonable time? I didn't read every response and don't know if the mystery manufacturer has been identified. I do know who it is. The company (JR) manufacturers very good equipment BUT the company is based upon the 1 or 2 men and a dog business model. The top dog... | |
| Raidho D1 audition WRONG Razmika ...... there is a dealer in Coral Gables, FL (Audio Salon) who is authorized to carry both Raidho and Magico. | |
| Is there life after a KXR? Help 4 1/2 years late.......I believe the Lamm 1.2 has a tube input stage and a SS Mosfit output stage. | |
| Best Sounding CD / SACD player under 15K Joefama - what is your beef with Mac brand? I've been kicking around idea of MC601s with either a C500 or C1000 pre. They're within my price point but it's the great customer service that Mac offers that is pushing me in that direction. Maybe I'm ... | |
| Best redbook cd-only player ? I see ads on Agon all the time for for Ayon Audio, an Austrian high end manufacturer. Their CD players are tube players and supposedly come close to vinyl?? The 2s and 5s models range (street price) $4k - $7k. ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT AYON?? | |
| Have cables become somewhat of a snake-oil topic. Brownsfan - what brand of power cords? | |
| Cables more hype than value? Frogman - some of the top studios in the world have cheap Yamaha NS10s in their arsenal of equipment. There is a good reason for this, and it's not about creating a believable mix or master......it is about complying with radio expectations, sales... | |
| Have cables become somewhat of a snake-oil topic. Detlof, you are absolutely correct. | |
| Cables more hype than value? again, with all due respect, I challenge you to tell me what "electronic instruments" are SUPPOSED to sound like. Let's say you're a rock fan.....there has never been a stadium rock concert where imaging is considered. Stereo sources become part o... | |

| Have cables become somewhat of a snake-oil topic. DIFFERENCE is the key word here. If your system is totally neutral and you want to make it sound DIFFERENT according to your hearing preferences, then go for it, and spend as much as you can justify.Likecap comments above from the Shunyata web sit... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Of course cables make a DIFFERENCE. But here's the rub. Look at this from this perspective: A recording engineer in one of the top studios in the country prepares to record a vocalist. Consider the signal path: microphone ---> cable ---> pre... | |
| Have cables become somewhat of a snake-oil topic. Well stated Mezmo.....you hit the nail square on the head.
