| Opinions: Oracle/SME IV/ Monster Alpha2 I picked up an Oracle IV with 345 arm about 6 years ago. I couldn't be happier with it's performance. I started out with the monster alpha 2, purchased new from AA for a song, with this combination. I agree with Caterham that it is not worth retip... | |
| Soliloquy 5.0 biwire fakes? thanks for the input. Scott at Soliloquy has informed me that there was a bad run of crossovers that went out the door. I will let the group know how they handle fixing my speakers. | |
| Soliloquy 5.0 biwire fakes? I wish that was the case! | |
| Best tube integrated--Cary SLI-80, or? Jay, please take the time to post your thoughts on the 6922's. I think there are a bunch of us that would appreciate your comments. Thanks. | |
| Best tube integrated--Cary SLI-80, or? I absolutely love my Cary. I have also been playing with NOS tubes (with great advice from Kevin at Upscale Audio and other Cary owners from this site.) The Cary has several advantages including a headphone jack driven off of the output of the amp... | |
| 5 ch. amps--Parasound; Rotel; Marantz You should also know that to get repairs on a piece of Parasound gear you have to take it too one of their local electronic repair shops. In Houston, the repair shop is an old tv repair shop. I left an amp there for six weeks after which they fina... | |
| Cables for Cary SLI80 and Soliloquy 5.0 Thanks to all for the input. I will keep my eye out for the Analysis plus biwire speaker cables. I have ordered nos KT88's from Kevin at Upscale and will post the results after they arrive. Thanks again. | |
| Sonic Frontiers Tech Support is Great I would like to also stress the service SF provides. I bought a Phono1 on Audiogon that was the 54db gain. This was not enough for my Helikon, so I called SF, talked to Nick, and he said to ship it to them and they would swap out the required resi... | |
| Thiel 3.6 s and amplifier choices I had the Thiel 3.6's for 3 years. I chased every possible tweek, from interconnects, speaker cables, to cones, supports, etc. I never could get them to really sing until I replaced my Levinson 27.5 with a Levinson 332. The difference really made ... | |
| CDP 2K for Cary sli80 Shearwater H.R. Jay, thanks for the input. Did you try any other power chords with the sli80? I swapped in a synergistic master and it did not seem to make much of a difference so I kind of gave up that route. I am using Blue Heaven for the cd to cary and cary to... | |
| CDP 2K for Cary sli80 Shearwater H.R. I'm looking for the same thing. I'm using the sli80 with Soliloquy 5.0's and now need to replace an old rotel cd player. What cables are you using with the cary? | |
| SACD Dominates Recommended List I think this just shows how far south stereopile has dropped. I have listened extensively to the Sony SCD-1 vs Levinson 360S/31 combo. While SACD's do sound quite good, the sony in no way compares to the levinson on 44khz discs. Period. For the 'p... | |
| Survey-What is your most used source? cd's, followed by sat dish for general musak! | |
| Transparent Reference vs Reference w/ XL No money, I have not heard the Ultra vs Ultra XL speaker cables. I do however know someone who had an Ultra balanced 1M and a Ultra with XL balanced cable, and he felt there was not much difference between the two. | |
| Transparent Reference vs Reference w/ XL I agree with above. I brought home a pair of reference with XL technology to compare to my reference. I could not discern much of a difference at all. IMHO the reference and ultra with xl technology is a lot of marketing hype. I have not yet broug... |
