| Audiogon sabbatical Welcome back, Kitch. Glad you like the SilverLace. Was the brightness in your system, or in the cables, or can you really figure that out? Did the Albertporter party happen? Tell us any great revelations occuring there. | |
| What Are Your Audio Morals? To those individuals who think it "immoral" to audition at a dealer & not buy; I ask you, when YOU sell equipment on Audigon that you didn't like, do YOU tell prospective buyers that you hated the sound of the piece or think it sucks? Do you g... | |
| Carl hears through Diamond Carl, thanks for such a comprehensive & intelligent review of AQ Diamond, et al. It takes considerable time, effort & discernment to focus so thoroughly on that many cables. I have often wondered about AQ Diamond. Perhaps I will try a used... | |
| Counterpoint SA-3.1 and 5.1 The prices of Mike Elliot's upgrades are ridiculous & are probably the highest in the industry. His breakdown of profits, etc., are not in line with industry reality. In my opinion, this expenditure would be the worst investment you could make... | |
| Tribute to Sarah Vaughn I'll have to check out Dianne Reeves. Sarah Vaughn was a one-of-a-kind. Her phrasing & style was unique, & made her quite an artist. Although I am not so fond of her earlier work, as she approached the Roulette years, 1961 on, she matured ... | |
| Sansui CA3000 Preamp. Pioneer Spec Pream I know where you are coming from -- I used to love the old, big pieces. Unfortunately, I think you will find they sound dreadful --- dead, flat, thin, lifeless, edgy. That's why I don't buy pieces like this I see for sale. Unless you just want to ... | |
| silver lace Homegrown Audio I have the lace, & they are not bright at all. Give them a chance to break in. What is your other equipment? | |
| forte 4 VS. forte 4a VS. forte 7 Since a used Forte 4 sells for about $600 or less, it would not be worth it to spend $700 more for two 7's. Just my opinion. If you need the extra power & really want the Forte sound, then go for it. I think at that price you could get a Thres... | |
| Do I really need a preamp? I don't recommend using the variable output of a CD player. I tried this with my $2,000 Sony ES player. The sound did not congeal well, the image being tall & illdefined & the sound somewhat transistory & harsh. When I connect the fixe... | |
| Sony ES CD Player Cult--which sound best Onhwy61, is your 707 the 707esd (older) or the X707, which is 6 years newer.????? Just curious. | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century My, my, the fur is flying once again. Why is it that no one can handle any criticism of their choices? If you believe so strongly in them, you shouldn't be so bothered. I won't even attempt to name any names, but I must say that as a professional ... | |
| Cleaning cd players As far as cleaning CDs, I have for years done this with warm water, the tiniest drop of dishwashing liquid, a smooth fingertip, then rinse with distilled water & dry with a lint-free, soft cloth very gently & minimally. If anyone thinks th... | |
| Tinnitus anyone? I have tinnitis in one ear, despite all I did to protect myself through the years. I always plugged my ears when around live music, went to one rock concert in my life, never was around loud noises. The only possibility I can think of, is that I a... | |
| Vandersteen 3A sigs amp advice please Rayhall, you must be alone in your opinion that the DNA-1 is superior to the DNA125. Both reviews in Stereophile by ST & KB of the newer amps agree that they are clearly superior to the older ones. Steve McCormack himself agrees, except for hi... | |
| Which SILVER cables sound best? Who has compared Stealth to Hyacinth & to Pure Silver Sound? |
