| Tidal speakers... particulary Tidal Sunray Hi Ozy, I just returned from the Munich High End. I can now understand the disappearing act you're talking about. Tidal played (on purpose) at a much lower volume than the rest of the exhibitors to let people experience the extreme finesse of deta... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Hi Alec, last year I had the occasion to compare quite closely the Marten Coltrane Momento with the Tidal Contriva (with other source and amps, but certainly no slouches on either system), so that is one number higher in the Marten hierarchy again... | |
| Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music Hi, likely you will have acquired speakers by now, in that case just for information (and for the benefit of anyone doing a search for speakers/classical).I just returned from the Munich High End show where there were 2 rooms that "transcended" th... | |
| cabling suggestions with Ayon Not an Ayon owner myself, I'd just like to throw this in for additional information. Ayon used to offer a series of (expensive!) cables under their own brand name until a few years ago, the "Ayon Dragons". These cables were actually made by HB Cab... | |
| Blue ray and cd player combined? Since you mention Cambridge as your initial choice, do you have means to audition gear from that brand in an A/B test? Then perhaps you could hear the 740c next to the 650 BD. Similar to the Oppo BDP 83, the Cambridge 650 BD plays bluray and redbo... | |
| Tidal electronics... Hi Tbg, although I have lately pleaded for generous amplification with the Tidals myself (it would indeed be a crying shame to leave these speakers famished), I would see the matter less dramatic as to define minimum requirements of 200w per chann... | |
| Tidal Amea Diacera fantastic speakers Hi Murat, your findings perfectly reflect my own. Truth be said, don't take "bookshelf" literally, the speakers need their proprietary isolator-stands (standard accessories) and space around them. I have spent a fair amount of time listening to th... | |
| Feikert Woodpecker I know of only one review so far in the German magazine "LP", which is one of the better ones and as far as I have been able to judge very trustworthy btw. If you can read German or have someone to translate it for you, I'd be happy to share it wi... | |
| Cable lifters/towers- voodoo or the real thing? You'll get as many different opinions as you get answers on this one. Here's the latest active thread:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?fcabl&1266538117&&&/Cable-Elevators-What-do-you-use-and another extensive one before that... | |
| Micro Seiki If I had to choose one piece of gear that I dearly regret selling it would be the BL-91. Mind you, I love my present WTL, but the BL-91 was different, exciting, delivering a rock solid performance whilst being a downright beautiful piece of gear o... | |
| ipod connection to home audio system Hi, I have never used a CPD2 myself but I see the player comes with 3 coax digital rca and 3 toslink inputs, so you're fine with either Wadia 170i or Onkyo ND-S1. The important thing is that you choose a dock that can read the DIGITAL signal comin... | |
| Tidal electronics... Azjake, I stand here facing west knowing I'm looking in the direction of a divine-system-to-be. And if my raving about my own experience with Tidal has helped the tiniest little bit of a shred of a fragment in arriving at your decision, I feel gen... | |
| ipod connection to home audio system Should be no problem as you describe it. For completeness sake, I know of one cheaper alternative to Wadia that taps the digital signal from the iPod/iPhone and also features a USB input: Onkyo ND-S1. Unfortunately, for some reason the product is ... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Ge-fe-li-ci-teerd Maxx1973! Ik breng je graag een fles wijn en een stuk kaas voor bij dat brood als ik dan mag meeluisteren 8^)(Sorry guys, special address for a special occasion, no worries, nothing nasty) | |
| Blue ray player with good audio sorry, my reply looks incomprehensible since an important bit fell out: Panasonic visual excellent, SOUND compared to a few others not good enough.Sorry again |
