| PS Audio Lab Cable Vs Shunyata Brulee I am glad to see you are still enjoying the FIMS, they truly are the absolute best in the world. I have the Accuphase Clean power supply, and yes the FIM between the wall and the unit makes a huge difference. I understand "no-moneys" and "A... | |
| Need help finding a subwoofer that is... The best I have heard (better than the REL's) is the Talon Audio "Roc". It is (very) fast and will move air like you wouldn't believe. The unit has a frequency "cut-off" dial. Check it out at www.talonaudio.com. The guys at Talon report that is is... | |
| SACD - Another year and ... Oh well since we now know the future of SACD due to some statistics run by a representative of the chipset market, I guess we should all dump our players and tell Sony/Marantz/Kenwood/Accuphase/Sharp...etc to stop production of SACD equipped gear ... | |
| SACD - Another year and ... I have owned DVD since '97 and here were not a lot of titles for that format in the beginning either. I believe SACD will come of age as it is vastly better than CD regardless of what some people submit concerning HDCD and the such. I have owned t... | |
| Anybody familiar with Kora amplifiers? Great sounding amps. I owned a pair of the Kora 100SB Triodes for about 2 years. If you are talking about the Cosmos or the Galaxy I suggest you first contact Kora (Jeff Starrs (good guy)) and find out exactly how to bias the amp. It was not user ... | |
| Talon Khorus Speakers The units go down to seventeen HZ. You do not need the subs. Ignore the reviewer comments concerning the subs on stereotimes.com, he stole the information from my uncle and tried to add to it (unsuccessfully I might add). The subs are great but I ... | |
| tekna sonic vibe absorbers I owned a set. My experience was that they offered nothing whatsoever constructive to my (formerly owned) Speaker Art Clefs. Mike | |
| Any comments on Nagra amp/preamps Sorry, I accidently posted before completion. I must agree with Oahuan. I auditioned the PLP and the VPA units. I was not the least bit impressed. The music on the disc (played via a Naim CDS player) just didn't seem to make it to my ears, thus my... | |
| Opinions on the Quantum Symphony Pro??? They work. I had the pro and that was the only type of power conditioning I thought was beneficial until I purchased the Accuphase unit. It was (in my system) far more beneficial than the RGPC unit. Try the pro version and listen for your music to... | |
| Any comments on Nagra amp/preamps I must agree with Oahuan. I auditioned the PLP and the VPA units. I was not the least bit impressed. The music on the disc (played via a Naim CDS player) just didn't seem to make it to my ears, thus my brain could not enjoy any of the music I know... | |
| My transport doesn't like my DAC. Help! Purchase a Monarchy DIP (www.monarchyaudio.com) and I bet that will solve your problem. regards, Mike | |
| Levinson in Lexus Nobody puts worse audio systems in there cars than Porsche. I have a 911 and the system in it is a travesty. Regards, Mike | |

| Adcom Mods by Supermod. I think you mean Stan Waren. Stan is the real deal, he was the "S" in PS Audio, back in the day. He did a mod on a Monarchy 22B DA converter that I once owned, it was absolutely fantastic and is bested a Forsell Dac (5k) which was tweaked personal... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? Maybe I can't hear, but I have witnessed the 2 SACD systems, Accuphase and Sony SCD-1 trounce all over Turntable setups. These were in mega expensive setups, but the turntable was in the same setup. Everyone in the room thought the SACD system sou... |
