| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? Go with Magico S5's paired with Vitus amp(s) and front end, and live happily ever after. That is the best combo i've found to make crappy 80's recordings of classic and hard rock sound good and really rock! Even the less expensive Magico S3's pair... | |
| Looking for speakers under 3000.00 used I'd recommend a good 2nd hand pair of Infinity IRS Sigma's. The last pair that went up for sale the guy was asking $2750, making this speaker an awesome bargain! The IRS-Sigma used the same cabinet as the later IRS-Epsilon. It's driver compliment ... | |
| Please help a rookie –used amps for magnepan 3.7? Mike, based on your power needs, associated equipment & budget, I would recommend a 2nd hand Modwright KWA-150. The last example that went up for sale on AG was asking $2888. But that was 10 months ago, so if you're patient and look around, yo... | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors @Tbg, is your name Norm Luttbeg and did you write this article? http://www.stereotimes.com/post/high-fidelity-cables-ct1-ultimate-series/ If so, you should disclose your commercial association when commenting on HFC cables. | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors Audiolabyrinth, in your long discussions with Chris, did you mention you were using your tube cd player as linestage? That effectively means you're running a tube preamp and changes the equation. Btw, Chris's advice that the gold version is recomm... | |
| some of the best speaker cables under $250 Are we talking about just the spades? | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors Jeb, i'm confused. Your friend did "the Furutech GTX duplex outlet taste test", but "The clear winner was the Rhodium plugs"? That just tells me your friend preferred FI-50M(R) connectors with a GTX-D wpo. That said, it's not surprising he preferr... | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors 01-23-15: AudiolabyrinthHi Melbguy1, I do not understand why Chris said he uses both the gold and Rhodium in his system, I tried that, it was horrible!, they worked against each other, a real train wreck, weeks of testing revealed someone can only... | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors 01-23-15: Bo1972When you compare the Oyaide with gold against the 004/M1 the difference is quite clear!!Bo1, I think you completely missed my point. I provided a detailed commentary supporting the view there is in fact a small, not night/day diffe... | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors @Bol, first of all just to correct you, I used the word "myriad" in the literal sense. I wasn't referring to the UK brand Myryad fyi.01-22-15: Bo1972gold is for dummies!!Really? Since Audiolabyrinth cited Chris from VH Audio, here are comments fro... | |
| Best Preamp for me I would start by putting my Lemonson amp up for sale & buying a pair of Electrocompaniet AW400 mono blocks & an EC4.8 preamp. B&W speakers seem to like EC gear. | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors Bol, you have a long equipment list with some expensive gear in their. The BMC Arcadia's are a good example & look impressive. Why such a myriad list of gear? I'm kind of going in the opposite direction & trying to reduce my box count, | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors Thanks for your feedback Bol on the Oyaide P-004 vs M1 connectors. I plan on getting 3 of my Jorma pc's re-terminated initially, and a 4th pc upgraded later in the year. But not cheap, VH Audio are asking $345 for a single cryo'd M1! | |
| Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers? I can't reconcile the look of the Ultra 6. I'm sure they work well, but I prefer the look of the Ultra 5's which work just great & look better imho. | |
| What speakers for 10k? I vote for 2nd hand True Sound Works restored Apogee Duetta Signatures which use Graz ribbons are a ground up rest including improved frame, crossover, wiring etc. I doubt you would do much better with $10-$11k. |
