| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors 01-19-15: Bo1972100% identical, even the length is the same.Yeah I plan on upgrading all my Jorma Prime pc's at some stage with Oyaide F1/M1 connectors. The Prime pc's are factory terminated with Oyaide P-004/C-004 connectors which are very good. ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? 11-22-14: MdemaioThe two that have stuck with me – each for a completely different reason - were the Volti Vittora and the Goldmund Prologos.+ 1. The Prologos are very dynamic and musical speakers. They sound very smooth and are good sound stagers... | |
| Beryllium Tweeters Thanks for sharing that info Rebbi. Very interesting! | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors Tbg, your System thread links into a thread about Spot welding, so I'm not sure about what kind of gear you own. If you have a tube-based system, have an analogue front end or use gold-plated plugs on your pc's then yes, the GTX-D(R) would likely ... | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors 01-11-15: TbgI think that there is little question that copper is the best cabinet as well as the best material for ac transfer. But it is just too soft. I talked with Furutech at the CES, and was told that Beryllium copper is just insufficiently ... | |

Here's a good place to shop: (https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com) Studying the very comprehensive specs, included in the descriptions, should help you best choose your ... | |
| Beryllium Tweeters 01-09-15: RunninSpeaker cable matters a lot at this level of quality, as do interconnects. I got all solid core, and it is much nicer/cleaner than fine strand. The difference here to my speaker cables was immediate and not subtle. It wasn't that I... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I owned a pair of classic Infinity Reference 60's for 18 years and they never skipped a beat. The Ref 60's were the top of the range in the Reference series & used an Emit-r tweeter & IMG dynamic mid and bass drivers. Although these speake... | |
| Beryllium Tweeters 01-10-15: Johnk92db is not high efficiencyYes, that's true John. But a speaker's sensitivity is only part of the story. John Atkinson provided this neat summation in his Stereophile review of the original De Capo's - "The MM de Capo i's voltage se... | |
| Beryllium Tweeters B limo, If you are prepared to look beyond BE dome tweeters, I would also consider a 2nd hand pair of Penaudio Cenya monitors which sound natural, resolving and musical. They also happen to look beautiful. Their size is also suitable for high end ... | |
| Beryllium Tweeters 01-09-15: RebbiThe Reference 3A line now uses BE tweeters across the range. I have the De Capo BE's, but the Dulcet BE's would fall into your price range and they're marvelous.Although the classic Yamaha speakers I mentioned are capable of terrifi... | |
| Integrated amp for Avalon Indra 01-06-15: GlaiHow would you compare the sound of the Vitus amps to the Boulder 1060s?That's a good question. I was running a Boulder 1060 with my modded Ayon CD-5s as linestage. The Boulder sounded powerful with excellent control, neutral, very qu... | |
| Has anyone upgraded their Genesis V woofers Heyjay, there is a forum on WBF for Upgrading Genesis speakers which is worth a look. You would get a bigger response by posting a thread over there. | |
| Integrated amp for Avalon Indra @Glai, we all have different ears and preferences. These days I prefer the sound of Vitus Signature Series over Boulder, but I enjoyed my time with the 1060. | |
| Integrated amp for Avalon Indra Glai, I used to own a Boulder 1060 paired with Marten Coltrane speakers which also use Accuton drivers. I didn't find the Boulder lacking in micro dynamics or detail. I'd characterize the Boulder as a fast, powerful, resolving, neutral and natural... |
