| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable I agree Dave. In the Jorma range, the Unity cables to me represent the sweet spot in their range, though I would go for the Origo pc's as they are quite a bit better than the Unity model. | |
| beryllium vs diamond Yamaha is not high end. | |

| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable 11-06-15: Jmcgrogan2It's my fault I suppose. I just can't stand country music, and that's about all she wants to listen to anymore. Sigh.That aint no Hank Williams song! | |
| Best SACD: Modwright OPPO vs Esoteric X03 series? This thread is going for the missionary position, and someone is going for the gusto...you two should get a room :D. | |
| beryllium vs diamond Hifi, who said that? From what I can see only a couple of manufacturers are using that material in the car audio industry. Secondly, Zylon has been around since the 80's. If it is so good, why aren't any high end speaker manufacturers using that m... | |

| Best value in pre-owned preamps right now? Mmm depends on your budget as this is all relative. My picks would be the Audio Research Reference 5 if you want a tubed preamp & Vitus RD-100 if you also want a good dac. They can be found had $6k 2nd hand. The Ref 5 can also be upgraded to S... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Cts, i've heard the older model JRDG & Boulder amps (not Ayre), and previously owned a Boulder 1060. All these companies have an essential house sound, and their latest products build on that and are more refined. Boulder is very quiet, smooth... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Calvin, yes having heard the Soulution 501 mono's & 520 pre, I would rate the Vitus SS-025, SS-102,SM-102 monos & SL-102 higher. The Vitus Sig series gear has more control & sounds more organic to my ear. Soulution also don't have any ... | |
| Your Best Tweak Lately 11-04-15: GeoffkaitEssence of Music is a 2-step CD treatment and comes in two spray bottles. After treatment the sound is clearer. I have had Optrix.Geoff, I wonder how that compares with UltraBit Platinum-Plus? The guy who makes UltraBit PP used ... | |
| Best SACD: Modwright OPPO vs Esoteric X03 series? Taters, not necessarily. Many an established high end audio company which have either changed hands or closed shop no longer support legacy products. For example, Infinity Systems no longer provide any technical support or parts for legacy speaker... | |
| Best High End Audio Manufacturer??? Tbg, It would be great to have the opportunity to audition the Ultimate 3's, if only to marvel at the engineering of those $600k beasts! I've read more than one reviewer say the Ultimates completely fill Magico's huge listening room (and beyond). ... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable @Taters, Audio shows are always sausage fests. It's fair to say there would be a higher than average percentage of single guys <40y.o attending, but I think the older crowd mostly have a happy spouse at home busy catching up with friends or a g... | |
| How important is bass to you? To answer the OP's question, bass incl: low, mid & upper bass is very important to providing the fundamentals of the music. You want bass that is tight, can reproduce the lowest registers for instruments such as a timpani and church organ, mov... |
