Signal Cable Reference speaker cable???
Sunnyjim,I switched from Nordost 4-Flat bi-wires to Signal Cable Silver Res bi-wires. This was a HUGE upgrade for me. My system does not sound bring at all. I feel, in my system, the Silvers serve me pretty well. I do not have the urge to upgrade ... 
Oppo DV-981HD for $50 for 2ch?
Congrats!! 
Signal Cable Reference speaker cable???
Been using Signal Cable wires throughout my system since 2005. The Silver References are simply awesome and neutral. Very detailed and transparent. Phenomenal value for money. Highly recommended! 
Oppo DV-981HD for $50 for 2ch?
You will NOT find a better transport for $50. And I am saying this, since I own the Oppo 970 HD. I am sure the 981 is a step up. Go for it! 
Review: Promitheus Reference C-Core Preamplifier
I agree that Nicholas needs to do a better job.With there recent review in Stereophile, I am assuming that they have [probably] changed their mode of operation. But it will take them quite some time to regain the popularity that they lost to all t... 
Review: Promitheus Reference C-Core Preamplifier
Brownsfan,I agree with you on the C-Core. Pretty happy with my Reference C-Core. And my system has been matched to be passive friendly, although it is a solid-state only system and average speaker sensitivity. I am planning of getting a new CDP in... 
Has the Oppo carried the AV industry?
Oppo is the ONLY player I know that can do CD/HDCD, SACD, DVD-A, PCM/DSD DAC (FLAC/WAV, etc), Blu-Ray audio. All this besides doing video.I would like to know if anyone has compared a Marantz SA11-S3 Vs this Oppo 105. It may be scales of economy -... 
Sara K SACD vs. XRCD
Thanks David! Added to my list :-) 
Review: Promitheus Reference C-Core Preamplifier
Brownsfan,What was your conclusion between the TVC and the Statement? Do you still have both in your system? 
Crimson Speaker Cables?
Sonic_genius and Audiolabyrinth,Any reason why people should not post on old threads?I believe people "happen" upon something good and are curious to find if someone else had the experience as they had. I don't find it odd or funny. Maybe I am mis... 
Sara K SACD vs. XRCD
David,I agree on both counts. Sara K is really under appreciated and so is Stockfich Records. Their SACDs sound phenomenal!The only issue with Stockfish SACDs is, once those SACDs go through your system, the rest of the CDs start sounding less dyn... 
Review: Promitheus Reference C-Core Preamplifier
That is pretty unfortunate. Hopefully they have improved their customer service policy. I saw that they had a review in Stereophile a month or two back. At audiocircle.com they had requested their "circle" to be closed a couple of years back. But ... 
The right amplifier for Quad 12L Classic
Based on your listening preferences, the Exposure 2010 will work fine with the 12L. The more power you provide these speakers, the better they perform. 
Harbeth Compact 7s vs. Pioneer's $129 speakers
Agreed. The Pioneer speakers need space to sound their best. I cannot do that currently, but when I put them in my main listening room, I was pleasantly surprised by the music they made. When I opened the cloth grill to check the bass driver, my j... 
CODA CSIb vs. HEGEL H-300 INTEGRATED
I had searched these and asylum pages a couple of years ago about Coda. Looks like their products are literally bulletproof. But the rags in the US gave them a bad rap. Some reviewers did not let go off Coda amp that was sent for review and Coda d...
