| Worst mismatches in equipment: your warnings Interesting response from Jeffloistarca, I also have the BAT Vk-500 with Alon V/Circe's and had a similar experience with Cardas Neutral Reference. Surprisingly the DH Labs Q-10 provide a cleaner, more open and more dynamic sound, only bettered by... | |
| Powercords $1000 that beat VH Audio cords Krisgel, a couple of thoughts before you give up on a pretty good VH Audio cord and start cycling $1,000 cords.1. As mentioned above, installing dedicated lines and using good power conditioning will go a long way towards your goals.2. I second (o... | |
| Guilty Pleasures? Mike, did he still have that skull on the top of the piano? Some of the stuff is a little repetitive, but the overall is well worth it, that old dude can really play. A personal favorite is his covers of Duke Ellington tunes, on a disc called Duke... | |
| Best copper interconnect cables Damn, Matty, I was hoping nobody would think of Luminous since I have a "wanted" posting for a 1.5 to 2 M balanced pair of IC's. I have one pair and they sound great in my system, so I am looking for a second pair to replace my Golden Reference (w... | |
| BAT Solid State Amps? Check out their website where they discuss design features and have reviews posted for their previous models. I do not remember seeing any reviews on the newer models yet, although knowing the work of the designer, I assume they are as good or bet... | |
| Guilty Pleasures? Doctor John playin that funky stuff, oh and a second on the Boxcar Willie. Even talked a couple of friends into seeing the good doctor live this year! | |
| balanced connection player also can't lose with Muse; 8 transport, and 9, 9sig, 10, and 11 (DVD) players. | |
| Need advise to help make quality bal cables for vendors look at Homegrown Audio, Chris VH, and maybe the Vampire cable websites. I believe these all sell wire you could use to DIY XLR IC's. There are also a number of vendors who sell DIY type cables already pre made. In particular the Eleme... | |
| Need help for ALON I problem New website with contact information is at following link.http://www.nolaspeakers.com/Carl has always been responsive to me, maybe they are at a show or on a vacation. If they no longer make the midrange for the Model 1, maybe you could upgrade bo... | |
| Has anyone here tried Element Speaker Cables? Interesting review, and encouraging for DIY enthusiasts. However, the reviewer kept his comparisions to other internet based cables, River Cable's Flexygy and the (sort of) DIY design Signal cables. I am running a tri-wire set of Jon Risch's cross... | |
| Adding subwoofer to Full-Ragne Speakers question Swampwalker gave a good answer. In addition to the amp issues he explained, I believe his #2 comments have to do with the main bass driver not trying to move as much air if the LF is cut off. Therefore, the excursion of the bass driver will be les... | |
| Most Flexible Audiophile Preamp Muse 9 Signature is nice with XLR and RCA ins and outs, HT pass through, individually adjustable gain for each of the 5 inputs, and remote. | |
| What happens to speakers over time? They get sold on Audiogon :> | |
| Muse Model 10 Agreed, the 10 is very, very, nice. I am totally happy with mine. If a CD sounds bad at all, it is probably a terrible disc to begin with. Good CDs and DVD-A's sound just great! Kevin and crew are outstanding to deal with, and the upgradability of... | |
| Aerial 10T Beware Sean, sort of like Alon V, Alon V MkII, Alon V MkIII; or Muse Model 9, Muse Model 9 Signature. Some manufacturers actually do this. The best way to be sure is what Mikec recommends, get the serial numbers and call the manufacturer. |
