| Audio Art Statement 1 power cables? Only posting this because nobody else has chimed in. Have not listened to them. However I really do like the ic 3 se's that I got from Fritz. They are really good. He is a really good guy to deal with. | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Their are a lot of great ones. A few I like you don't hear often - Tommy Emanuel, Paco de Lucia, John McGlauphlin, Ry Cooder, and James Gurley. | |
| Most enjoyable speaker you heard under $800?? +1 Mofi. Still a great speaker. | |
| what speaker new or used for 5k? I know a different amp and pre amp can breath life into those speakers. I would say the amp and pre are more laid back/dead sounding than the speaker on that speaker. I use a Belles Ref 150a V2 with a passive pre with excellent results. Something ... | |
| Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362 +1 Stringreen. I am impressed by how much the Maestro opened up my system. More refined, open and natural to me. For me that was going from a standard leviton outlet to the Maestro. It seemed like a change that I might experience if I sent my amp ... | |
| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck Onhwy61I do not think that is why he sell bazillions of his music. That happens because they like his music, not because people are pissed off at it. Please tell 'us'(the signifier)what he is doing right,('something' right?). So if he is trying to... | |
| Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars? The Raidho's are not night and day difference from the Pulsars for most people. To an experienced audiophile they are serveral levels more refined though. Worth the extra dollars spent. They are both very fine speakers. | |
| Is my preamp useless? I really appreciate your input on this Grannyring because you give it a better chance than most reviewers would and are sincere about your findings. We all benefit from it no matter how it has come about. It will be interesting to see if it kicks ... | |
| Is my preamp useless? Thanks Grannyring for the comments. I am looking forward to hear how the LSA works for you this time. | |
| Can't get Acoustic Zen Adagios to sound smooth What was the original post? | |
| Is my preamp useless? Grannyring that is an interesting thing to do. To keep trying the LSA. I appreciate your enthusiasm and earnest work to get good sound. That has been documented on Agon for all to see. And that has benefitted me and I am sure others. Thanks. And b... | |
| "forward' vs "laid back" speakers I think you have a correct first impression of the vienna's though limited, just like the other speakers. Not everything but you can tell a lot (about tone and timbre and balance) by a quick listen even with sub optimal electronics and a bad set u... | |
| World's BEST ac outlets.......Maestro outlets Thanks Tbg. As evident I look for ways to improve my system but I am very happy where I am at and could be happy if nothing changed until I get 100 yrs old. At that point just for something to do I am planning on rioting in front of all the audio ... | |
| World's BEST ac outlets.......Maestro outlets It sounds like the maestro is at least a good outlet for me and I am very happy with it. I don't need the very best I just want really, really good. I have that. An outlet will not make or break it. My system is quite magical if that makes any sen... | |
| World's BEST ac outlets.......Maestro outlets Tbg that sounds good. Thanks, that was kind of you to do that. I will get one for my other outlet. I doubt if I will ever compare the two, the maestro and it. Then stranger things have happened. Thanks again. |
