| All time favorite speaker cables Leica_man,I agree, the name 'Supra Sword' is different indeed! The company 'Supra' is a well known and long time established cable company in Sweden, they're just becoming known in the U.S. You'd have to read the review and see the drawing, but th... | |
| All time favorite speaker cables Supra Swords out of Sweden. I auditioned and bought them after HiFi+ reviewed them, awarded them speaker cables of the year and said that they were right on the coat tails of the Nordost Vahalla in terms of speed and detail, but beat it by being m... | |
| OUCH My Dynaudio's have crashed.... The reviewers are saying that the C1's are better than the Special 25's and you don't need a sub. BUT they are $6000.00! Have you listened to a pair of Thiel 2.4's? They sound great, but I don't know about their sweet spot and two listeners. | |

| How did you get into vinyl? This is going to be an answer you'll see a lot: I'm 54 years old. That's even before the 8-track. | |
| Size matters...need smaller speakers Harmonic Precision Caravelle's would work well. I haven't heard them, but the reviews of the Dynaudio C1's sound like they may be everything you need. | |
| Your First Concert was..... Jethro Tull's "A Passion Play". They came out and played "A Passion Play" for 30-40 minutes. This being my first concert, I thought that they were finished and it was over. Then Ian Anderson stepped up to the microphone and said "Now for our secon... | |
| Interconnects for BAT Call The Cable Company, 1-800-328-9973 ( 1-800-fat-wyre ), and ask for John Pharo. They have a used set of Acapella LaMusika balanced interconnects that are really, really good with BAT equipment. John Pharo owns BAT equipment himself, so he can h... | |

| Need help with upgrade path Before you write my suggestion off, I have listened to BAT pieces many, many times at a store in Illinios owned by Geoff Poor, who also happens to be one of the partners in BAT. I've heard them with Esoteric and BAT digital front ends as well as V... | |
| Need help with upgrade path Have you considered selling your VK-300X, putting that money with what you have now and buying a Karan KA I-180 integrated? It is balanced and has one balanced input. If you want more "ooomph" and everything else, the Karan will take control of yo... | |
| Help me build a Theatre system for $5000 May I ask a question without offending you? What are you trying to achieve with your $5,000.00 budget? A HT requires a processor, multiple speakers and corresponding amps, and cabling. A really good stereo that images well requires sigificantly le... | |
| Audioquest cables? I think the Supra Sword speaker cable, from www.Madisound.com or www.audiorevelation.com, are extremely fast and detailed, but also full bodied. I ended up upgrading all of my system after getting them in order to take advantage of how good they a... | |
