| The best upgrade I ever made! Dekay-Possibly not applicable or new to you, but I partially solved the problem of crappy power on the advice of an audionut/speaker builder friend who suggested something he and his friends came upon quite by accident and thought was great-APC po... | |
| SACD Players I have to agree with Jade, tech-talk notwithstanding, the Sony unit I have sounds better playing red book CD's than any previous, significantly more expensive players I had, including upsampling from dCS gear. At about 1/10th the cost. And the SAC... | |
| BAT Equipment vs Audio Research Pipes- Good luck and much fun in your endeavors, grabbing new gear is always a rush. Jtinn, to assume one buys ones gear based upon terms such as "reference" or "balanced", for that matter, suggests a very shallow perspective on the hobby. As for ... | |
| BAT Equipment vs Audio Research Pipes- Thin is not an adjective that comes to mind when listening to the 300 MKII's. Clean, yes, but rich, not warm, muddy or syrupy. I too think midrange is nearly all important, but if you can have your cake and eat it.... | |
| 1955-2001 Favorite Top Ten Rock Groups Kthomas-The Hip tour nearly incessantly, however it's usually not heavily advertised and at small venues-unless it's in Canada where they sell out stadiums. They've only just started to catch on in the US, although where I'm from in the Cleveland ... | |
| BAT Equipment vs Audio Research I agree, it's seems there is a knee jerk response to certain mainstream products. I have certain pieces of gear that are eclectic/esoteric, but sound great to me. Some mainstream gear sounds poor. The REF series is superior to the rest of the alre... | |
| BAT Equipment vs Audio Research Pipes- I currently power Eidolons with ARC REF 300 MKII's which I found more pleasing than the 600's. Of all the amps I trialed, with my particular configuration this was an outstanding pairing. I've listened to BAT's, but not the 150's. I'd be in... | |
| looking for an amp ??? Tireguy- I have Avalon Eidolons, and considering the investment in them and what to push them with, I auditioned amps extensively. I found the ARC Ref 300 MKII's to be the most satisfying and the best mate with my particular configuration. The sys... | |
| Do the Audio gods shine upon you? I see the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle segueing into the AEP ( Audiophile Egocentricity Principle). Boy, I hope this comes out in small letters. | |
| 1955-2001 Favorite Top Ten Rock Groups This is about as varied as favorite audio gear, and as eclectic, and that's good. Just a nod to Jeffloistorca and Kthomas,T-HIP not only make great records but are a real treat live. Am I blind or is Van Morrison not mentioned above? | |
| Phono Cable Rcprince- Thanx for the offer, I'm in Ohio. I run the XLO directly into a Klyne phono pre from the Graham and Miyabi cart. I like what I have, but appreciate the differences in cabling and hence the inquiry. I have an SACD player, which I think is... | |
| Phono Cable rcprince- I do have a graham 2 arm and currently a XLO sig 3.1 phono cable. Have you compared the Graham cable to this or other cables? Thanx, Mark | |
| SACD Players Simontju- Any idea how to turn off the filter? | |
| Sony XA-7es and the 777es Anybody else have any opinions/info on the Sony 9000 es? I have a 777es and actually like it considerably, both the standard cd and SACD. Thanx, mes | |
| Shunyata vs Electraglide vs FIM FIM Gold 6 ft. PC is nearly half the price of the Cobra and indeed sounds FAR better than any cord in my many( insane?) applications which have included Synergistic, Shunyata, Electraglide and others. All the FIM cables have, IMOP, raised the bar ... |
