| Cary SLI-80 vs Cary 300SEI I listened to both at the dealers thru speakers and then with headphones.The 300sei was the clear winner with the phones.I bought the Cary 300sei, also bought Shunyata Annaconda Helix power cord because using headphones again, you could hear the i... | |
| Blue Circle BC86 MK III power line pillow try daisy chaining them.I run three that way in my ht. | |
| Walker Audio- High Definition Links- anyone Just bought a pair of HDL Mk 111.There is an immediate positive thing going on that will only get better as time passes they say.I use them on Meadowlark Heron i,Cary 300B SEI, cabled with Shunyata Helix speaker wire, Shunyata Aries IC, Shunyata H... | |
| Heard my friend's system, thinking of leaving hifi Don't leave, don't be discouraged.Think of it as a learning experience and try to get to that level a step at a time or look for components that you can afford that get you close.There are so many people who say they are audiophiles who then scoff... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. The more I read the responses the more wide I see the gap in this hobby between two camps.In one camp we have the "enthusiasts", who read the mags, check out the gear and tweaks and buy if it meets their own expectations, money is not always the d... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. I am inclined to agree with the opinion that most modern recordings suck.Why do you suppose so many have gone the vintage route? Surely the opposite of what Holt is stating.The vintage gear sugar coats the bad overly compressed and thin digital re... | |
| VPI Belts Black vs Clear I have both, the original clear belt that has the connecting lump and the newer black belt.I can't say which is better, but that's because I use both of them on my Scout and it works quite well. Try it out for yourselves and report back.Other tabl... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. I guess there are still a lot of people who still follow the old chant"Holt, in whose ears we trust".Hey, he is over thirty you know!Do you still trust his old ears and his old style beliefs? Especially you young Gen X'ers?In the old days he would... | |
| Your Favorate JBL's from the 70's Around 1977 I had a pair of JBL Jubal speakers, but since it was the 70's I can't remember the model number.Can anyone help? I do remember they had a 12 bass, a mid and a prism like glass tweeter, and besides the excellent cabinet, they had smoked... | |
| Is Quad ESL57 most amazing speaker of all time? Try stacking a pair.Everything you like plus more "air" being moved so you feel as if there is more bass.A hard speaker to forget once the honeymoon is over and you look for a speaker with other virtues and move on.One of the systems I should have... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? I have found that a half round tube trap works wonders when placed a couple of feet ahead and right in the centre of the speakers.It is almost like listening to headphones,may have something to do with the old ambisonic mindset.I know it flies in ... | |
| Humming sub. I sent this trick to a friend who had a humming Sunfire sub that many said needed to be internally rewired.Here is what did the trick.Take a thin run of plastic coated wire from Radio shack, find a screw on the metal plate of the sub and attach on... | |
| Not Another NuForce thread...... My response to the responses about my response.Some audio history that influences my take on NuForce upgrades.I was an original adoptee of the very first Oracle turntable and felt that it had certain things going for it that my old LP12 didn't.Wel... | |
| Not Another NuForce thread...... Well I am going to wait for the ref 10v,or better yet the 20v2,by then I will be convinced that they have gotten it right.I sincerely hope they have with the 9v2. | |
| Anybody tried this ? Well my problem is that I go out and play live music.Been doing so for 40 years.I have friends with CAT + Soundlab ultimate ones, Sonus Strad. nagra gear, you get the picture?I am no newbie ( 30 + yrs in this hobby) when it comes to live versus re... |
