| suggestons on speaker cable that boost mid and upper bass Bigdish, you didn’t mention what your budget is, however Siltech Royal Signature series cables have good bass. Wojciech Pacula noted in his review of the Siltech Ruby Double Crown power cable for Enjoy the Music that they "slightly highlighting th... | |
| Another Best sounding room Cts, I agree Avalon’s product development and marketing just haven't kept pace with their competitors, which is a shame as they have always sounded natural and very coherent. No issue with the Tinnitus as my hearing is actually normal for my age a... | |
| New floor stand speakers Frankie, i’ve heard the original Crystal Arabesque Mini’s & original Magico S1’s. I’ve also heard the Wilson Alexia’s in a couple of different setups, though not the new Sabrina.These are all very different speakers. The Crystal Arabesque Mini... | |
| Building a new 2 channel system and need help The best synergy with Focal is supposed to be Vac tubes. I imagine a Vac 160i SE integrated would be a great match & have more than enough power for the Focals which are fairly efficient. John, care to chime in here? :D | |
| Building a new 2 channel system and need help It sounds like you’re looking for similar qualities as me before I started building my current system. My ears are senstive to any shrillness or distortion which tends to induce listener fatigue, so with my system I aim for a sound which is natura... | |

| In need of amp upgrade suggestions Mbump, based on what you’re looking for and your speakers, I would recommend either a Vitus SIA-025 class A integrated, or if you want separates and even more bottom end control, a Vitus RS-100 power amp & RL-101 pre. Vitus Audio is made in De... | |
| Digital versus Vinyl - Grinnell College Review Well said Tomcy6. when these debates come up, yes there is a tendency for vinylphiles to kind of stand on a soap box and proclaim black and white that vinyl is superior to digital. But what is often missed, beside considering how high end and musi... | |
| Digital versus Vinyl - Grinnell College Review I get tired of these debates as well, but for different reasons; mostly because of low enders who (to be frank) don't have the money to put a great cd player in there system, fully optimized to enable them to hear what great digital can do... | |
| FM reception and your antenna I'm lucky in my Apartment building as the Architects included a good FM antenna on the roof & dedicated FM antenna connection behind my racks. Hence FM reception is rock solid. I’d love to own an Accuphase T-1100, but my Dealer thinks they wil... | |
| Digital versus Vinyl - Grinnell College Review Hi Phaminator, Yes I am from Melbourne. I know of your system & admire what you’ve achieved. Yes, i’d accept ultimately a vinyl rig is capable of better sound. Though I don’t have the space for a vinyl setup, or for storing vinyl in my apartme... | |
| Classe CA2300 vs Vitus RS-100 Aural memory is fallable, but if I recall, the RI-100 sounded on the dark side of neutral, whilst the RS-100/RL-101 combo sounded a bit less so. The separates had a bit more resolution; a bit more life and sounded a bit more open. The separates al... | |
| Where did you sink the most cash into? Based on msrp, once my system is complete, this is the order in which I will have spend the most money. My expenditure on cables is still max 50% of the cost of the connected components, however the total expenditure on wire puts that at the top o... |
