| All vandersteen users ? I was fortunate to demo the Grand Veena and the Vandersteen 5A one afternoon.First up was the Grand Veena.Very good sound, nice integration considering all the drivers( Iam a stat or concentric type).I was impressed.Then the Vandy 5A.A certain sim... | |
| How any "wall pluggers" are out there? WoW!Great responses.Yes I think wall pluggers are purists, the "meat and potatoes" kind of folks and probably are that way in all things in their life.Maybe I should ask how many wall pluggers own Porsches or Rolex?But throwing good money at this ... | |
| How any "wall pluggers" are out there? Again, sorry for the poor initial post.But irregardless of how the post was interpreted one thing jumps out at me crystal clear-the polarized climate that has evolved over the years in this hobby.An audiophile today is either in one camp or the ot... | |
| How any "wall pluggers" are out there? I should have used Preview first.To clarify, a "wall plugger" would be the type of audiophile who likes to add nothing extraneous to his system-plugging straight into the wall, sans upgraded power cords, power conditioning and the like.An anti-twe... | |
| XLR interconnects? I shouldn't have said that the Europeans had HDTV before North America.What I meant to say was that the European television transmission technology was superior to ours.The signal was clearer and cleaner in most of the modern Euro countries than w... | |
| XLR interconnects? Isn't it interesting that there will be new releases of the Beatles catalog.They will be mostly using the UK mono mixes.Have a listen Kijanki,and then tell me those masters were inferior.The lps and cds that were available to the North American ma... | |
| Precision Fidelity C7/A: To modify or leave as is? As I recall, your unit is a couple of decades old.I had a Precision Fidelity, but a lesser model and it was a very decent sounding unit.Simple design,dual volume or balance knobs and I think a couple of tubes, but a big open sound.I should have ke... | |
| XLR interconnects? At least you and I agree that"old recordings remastered sound much cleaner than the same recordings on the same media(cd)"The first releases of Beatles on cd were horible and made even poor lp pressings sound superior.Keep in mind Beatles lps were... | |
| Is cable synergy important? I just read a very interesting review of some cables by Steve Marsh at 6 moons.I no longer feel all alone. | |
| XLR interconnects? Everyone is waitng for the Beatles catalogue to be given the same sonic makeover as some other artist's catalogues have.If it is done on cd only and if it is given as much care as the Martins did with Love, then those would be far superior to the ... | |
| XLR interconnects? Yes music was mostly dumbed down in quality and content over the years.The more way you could alter the signal the better it must be was the way things went in most studios.Remember the Aphex Aural Exciter?It was suppossed to be the best thing you... | |
| XLR interconnects? Some old recordings sound like shit,I will agree,that all new recordings are superior I do not agree.Most if not all the mags that I read, rave about the re-issued modern pressings of vintage jazz recorded on vintage gear.And I have to agree.The s... | |
| XLR interconnects? Ralph those records and most all the classic and jazz cut in the 50's and early 60's sound better than today, but I wouldn't say it was because of balanced cables.I think the fact that the equipment was all tubes back then and you or all people kn... | |
| XLR interconnects? Then I guess companies like Meridian had better get with the program.Same goes with my Audio Aero Capitole that I run balanced out into the balanced in of my mono blocks.I can distinguish cable differences, does that mean that the Audio Aero Capit... | |
| Is cable synergy important? But what if I change speakers?If I were to upgrade to the CLX,which after owning Quads and CLS for years are high on my wish list, would these wires be the best choice?Maybe something like Kubala would be the order of the day.My ride on the cable ... |
