| Power Cable with a "soft" top end Sorry, I was not trying to imply that softness is a general characteristic of DCCA cords. Instead, I wanted to draw attention to the fact that DCCA offer to tune their cords to specific needs, so I guess they can actually cater for softness if so ... | |
| Power Cable with a "soft" top end For what it's worth, since I've never had any DCCA cord in my system, but I keep reading they're excellent.From DCCA's website:quoteLet us make you a power cord to meet your needsunquote | |
| The best acoustic guitar recordings?? Anything with Antonio Forcione, the "Hendrix of the acoustic guitar". My personal favorite is "Live!" (on the Naim Label: http://www.thenaimlabel.com/)Something quite special: Wulfin Lieske, "What about this Mr. Tarrega?" (Tacet 65) on which Liesk... | |
| cables are they worth it? If you're considering to take the plunge (for this purpose I will presume you'll upgrade to the Symphonic Line or something similar as a new amp), don't do it half-heartedly. Having said that, $200 for an IC (or should that be EUR?) will certainly... | |
| "Budget" cable advice, please Difficult to give absolute recommendations since there is always a lot of 2nd hand, demo and factory sell-out stuff on offer. Then again often not just quite what you were looking for, which is where sellers become interesting that grant you a tri... | |
| Which is the best CD-Player up to $ 10k ? Absolutely agree with Bob on the unbalanced outputs. | |

If I may draw a conclusion at this point: differences, if any, are small enough not to have to worry over my system's performance if I'm not using the Dark Field elevators. On the other hand, I... | |
| Which is the best CD-Player up to $ 10k ? Agree with AMR CD-77. If I remember well, you're in Germany, right? Distributor in that case is Fast Audio (appr. EUR 6.5k) | |
| Cable elevators - conventional wisdom wrong? Point taken, I should have put "conventional wisdom" in inverted commas. The thing is, since I had my Lego stuff to experiment with anyway I thought give it a try, it can't harm. Now Shunyata's telling us it will harm. | |
| Stereotime compares AMR CD7 vs. Reimyo CD777 Did they compare AMR CD77 or AR CD7?(something about highend cdps and sevens) | |
| The best hifi magazine? A few thoughts on the subject of measurements in magazines. I wholeheartedly agree with Raquel measurements are more than just nice-to-have, sometimes even essential for judging whether the intended pairing of different gear looks promising or for... | |
| The best hifi magazine? Of the ones I know, in order:HiFi+, UK6moons (I hope online mags count), USLP (apart from some terrible records they use for their reviews), Germany | |
| If money is not a problem Tidal T1 system - I guess that choice may be considered an acclamation for my present Contrivas - and I'd bring in Thomas Fast to treat the room. http://www.tidal-audio.de/english/t1-specs.htmCables probably Argento Audio Serenity Master Reference... | |
| Thank You Souchy Radrog, I don't know whether you have one particular golden component in mind ;-) or are referring to the work Peter (and his sons Patrick and Robert meanwhile) have been doing in general. Either way, I couldn't agree more! If analog has risen fro... | |
