Dec 27, 2015	Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. @gpgr4blu The Dealer I mentioned is Tivoli Hifi in my neck of the woods. The Dealer has 30 years experience and chooses good staff. Their main room is well sorted from my limited experience with room acoustics, and the night I heard the speakers w...
Dec 26, 2015	Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. @gpgr4blu , Like I said, if you’re relying on notoriously sub-optimalshow conditions alone to judge an entire manufacturer, you’re only fooling yourself. I formed my view of Wilson Alexia’s based on auditions in a Dealer’s main treated room and ...
Dec 26, 2015	Building a new 2 channel system and need help Inna, I thought you said you don’t want to go into this any further, now you do? Far be it from me to sit at the seat of judgment. I think that job is already taken. I am however curious about your digital dictum. I further regret to inform you I ...
Dec 26, 2015	Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. Gpgr, likewise I’ve enjoyed our exchanges on this topic. To be clear, I heard the Alexia’s in a Dealer’s treated main room with top-line ARC tube gear. I was told by the Dealer the speakers were fully run in. I also confirmed my findings when I he...
Dec 26, 2015	Building a new 2 channel system and need help Inna, so we are in no illusion, have you heard the Vitus SCD-025 Mk2 (or an earlier model Signature Series player)? Sorry to hear all digital sounds the same to you. My ears work just fine. And yes, let’s not go into this any further as it’s very ...
Dec 26, 2015	Power cords at ridiculous prices? I think expenditure on power cables should be relative to your equipment. I don’t subscribe to the view some audiophiles hold that cables should be elevated to the status of components (with commensurate expenditure). Connecting cables of equal or...

Dec 25, 2015	Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. I heard the Wilson Alexia’s in a treated room with top flight ARC tube gear & was underwhelmed. The bass was slow and flabby which smeared the midrange, they were not as coherent or well balanced as the S5’s, and are not as warm, full bodied o...
Dec 25, 2015	Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. Early model YG speakers, B&W Diamond speakers, Wilson Alexia, Crystal Arabesque mini come to mind..To respond to a previous member's comments about the YG Carmel, the new Carmel Mk2 is a completely different proposition & sounds musically ...

Dec 23, 2015	Jorma Unity cable? Jorma cables sound basically neutral and natural, hence they partner well with a range of systems which are well sorted and don’t require ’tone controls’. I previously owned a full loom of Jorma Origo cables before upgrading to Prime and Statement...
Dec 21, 2015	Infinty epsilon loudspeaker phase adjustment on servo control Okeeteekid is an IRS Epsilon owner & long-time Inifinity lover, so i’d trust his advice. You could also use something like the Isotek Ultimate Set up disc which has a useful phase test which you can use as a diagnostic tool. That is also a gre...
Dec 20, 2015	suggestons on speaker cable that boost mid and upper bass I’d return back to my original suggestion; Siltech Royal Signature series. It might be possible to source genuine dealer demo cables at good prices...particularly after CES.
Dec 19, 2015	Best speakers for $3000 If you’re after a more sophisticated speaker that nails voice and blues guitar, I’d check out the LV OBX-R2’s Trrevell.
Dec 19, 2015	suggestons on speaker cable that boost mid and upper bass YW. Within yur budget, you could pick up a pair of either single wire or biwire Cardas Audio Clear Beyond cables around $4500. Those cables won Stereo Mojo’s ’Maximum Mojo’ award & should give you the qualities you’re after. This biwire pair ...
