| Element Cables vs Signal Cable Celtic66 makes a strong case. Signal Cable is a no-brainer substitute for people beginning the PC upgrade process because it's very reasonable and shames any stock supplied OEM cable. Once the buyer gets his first taste of how PC upgrades can make... | |
| Silverline Sonata III or Legacy Focus 20/20? I'm sure we're all pretty sure of that too... | |
| Silverline Sonata III or Legacy Focus 20/20? Let's see, Tvad, maybe he's still looking!? | |
| Silverline Sonata III or Legacy Focus 20/20? I'm a Sonata fan, I have the 2's and would like to move up to the 3's when I can swing it. I know what the 2's do well (am very happy w/ mine) and Jimman sounds spot on in his description of the 3's. I can't say I've ever heard the Legacy's but I ... | |
| Words From the Wise 1) Proper speaker placement supplemented by acoustic room treatments patiently and accurately applied is the single most important component in your system. Period. More than which speakers, which source components , or what amp/ pre-amp combinati... | |
| We are normal unlike the rest eh??? ha ha Great video, Had never seen it before. I agree with Kalan, it's investigative reporter viewpoint should make it an excellent 20 minute introduction to non-audiophiles as to what our hobby really consists of and hopefully can get across to them som... | |
| Cleaning contacts, What first? This has been a very busy and enlightening thread and I thank you all for your input so far. Rushton, I have isopropyl alcohol but it's "Rubbing" and only 72% pure so I'll have to get a more 'purer' version... Gammajo: thanks for the very informat... | |
| How are VTL's power amp ? You are getting accurate response descriptions of each brand. If you want a little more tubey, the CJ's have been doing it well for a long time although their newer stuff is much less so than their classic/vintage equipment.I can't speak about ARC... | |
| What can I drive w/ the 8wpc Air Tight 300B amp? I Agree that the Coincident and Silverlines are big players in your amp type/size. I can't speak for the Coincident sound but I can for the Silverlines: Full bodied, natural, non-fatiguing, engaging but not forcefully, excellent mids, clean but no... | |
| Ayre vs VTL vs BAT VTL's are well worth it. Customer service has been fine. 6 years with their products, all very good. Highly recommended. Have heard good things about both others too but still prefer the VTL's for my use... you will like them too. Good luck. | |
| VTL ST-85 vs. VTL ST-150 or rather EL34 vs 6550 I prefer Charlize too but seriously, Keep talking about the comparisons between the 150 and the 85, I am particularly interested in this thread because several years ago I was also enthralled with the st-85 and it was also the amp that drove me aw... | |
| Best speakers under $2000 to match with a SET amp? I'll second both the Reference 3A MM De capo's and the Silverline Sonatinas. You might also consider the Silverline SR-17's (these are stand mounted monitors) with a small sub like the entry level Rel's. I'm using the larger Silverline Sonata 2's ... | |
| Efficient Dynamic Speaker with low-end punch? Silverline speakers , new and used at your price point. Average efficiency 93 - 95 db, usually equipped with some potent woofers and a very pleasant/natural "House sound". An Aleph 3 would probably be a real potentially nice combination but try an... | |
| Sonic Frontiers preamps tube eaters?? I also have a Line 3SE and have had no premature tube failures, in fact I have been using the orig. NOS tubes for several years with very quiet operation. I've had the occasional low level tube rush but nothing note-able from more than a few inche... | |
| Opinions on Walker High Definition Links I've had them on my Silverlines and would never think of taking them off. Most of the responders here have pretty much summed them up when they describe them as opening up a more unforced character to the music ... the sound simply becomes subtly ... |
