| Need help in picking a good preamp/processor Don't overlook the Cary Cinema 6. In the $2.5K price range nothing can touch it for sonics in 2 channel, and its superb with multichannel as well.My problem is, the Cinema 6 and 5 combination sounds so good, I've been spending the bucks upgrading ... | |
| The Cable Company - Wow Steve Aug? I wonder if he's any relation to the Aug that runs Purist Audio Design? That might explain why he included some of their speaker cables in my last batch. Then again he might have included them because they're excellent cables - which th... | |
| The Cable Company - Wow The only way to know for sure that cables are fake are to take them apart. If you expect that every comnpany that sells used cable spends time auditioning them all, dream on. But if you get em from these guys and don't like em, no problem - they'v... | |
| Review: Purist Audio Designs Venustas and Opis Interconnect I'm just trying out the Museaus against Cardas Hex 5C's, Goertz M2, Opus 9's, etc. So far I'm prefering them for a big warm natural sound. They're not the fastest or most dynamic, but they do a better job of natural sound reproduction overall - an... | |
| Paul Speltz speaker cables How long a burn in do the anti-cables need? | |
| Is SACD a dead format? What local store are you talking about? They still have a decent section at Best Buy - and I would assume Tower Records. I wonder if with Blue Ray coming up Sony has new plans for hirez music? If it dies, Sony only has itself to blame with its' mo... | |
| TRL Sony 2000es or RAM Toshiba 3960 Vinyl playback is my holy grail. Where do I find out more about this? | |
| Opinions audio and video on the Cary DVD-6? I own the DVD-6 along with the Cary Cinema 5 amp and Cinema 6 preamp. I got a good package deal with the DVD player so I went for it largely to be an 'in the family' CD player. I already had an upconverting DVD player (Samsung) that I was happy wi... | |
| Best Speaker Cable choices for Solid State system Ozzy, I agree with you completely. Once you own the good stuff this is obvious - but it won't stop those that never have about arguing 'til they're blue in the face that cables don't make a difference. It really gets tiresome. | |
| Best Speaker Cable choices for Solid State system Well I now have a pair of Cardas Quad 5C's in the house. I'm just (re) burning them in, but they're not at all what I expected so far. Instead of being darker, more tube like, they seem to have a brighter balance - though they never zing you. Very... | |
| entry level cables and Audioholics To get over decision paralysis, I just purchased some used Cardas Quadlink 5C speaker cables from usedcables. If I don't like them, I can trade them for anything else they have (and they have about anything). So far I'm really impressed with their... | |

| Best Speaker Cable choices for Solid State system Some of the speaker cables I've been considering for solid state (based on discussions here) include:Goertz Alpha CoreAudience AU24Cardas CrossDHLabsCardas Quad 5CAre the Kimbers a good match for a slightly bright SS system? | |
| Cables-how can you be sure of authenticity? Yep, Cary Audio is also having knockoffs from China BTW.As if cables weren't maddeningly difficult and subjective enough to buy with exact system matching, burn in, etc now we have to factor in that it might not even be a legit product? It's enoug... | |
| upgrade cd or speakercable ? I doubt many people will have experience with both upgrades (all four products). But I feel very comfortable in the conventional wisdom that upgrading your source (CD player) is one of the best improvement you can make to your system. Personally I... |
