| Straightwire Virtuoso H I had a set of Virtuoso R; sold 'em, which I *deeply* regret.Very clean cable. Punchy with great mids. | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio Speakers? I'm with you..! How do the binding posts work? | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio Speakers? I heard them at a dealer a few years back, I wanted to be blown away. I recall being underwhelmed, they were very polite with compressed dynamics. I recall the dealer saying something about the "under-hung voice coil." Next to them were a pair of ... | |
| Best cables to be used for pass labs X250.5, XP10 I posted a thread abt AC cables w/Pass amps, if you do a search...The verdict was that AC cables don't seem to make a huge difference, but going into the wall directly was better than into a line "conditioner." I use a PS Audio Xstram Statement an... | |
| Nordost Frey vs Audience Au24e interconnect I can see how the au24 might work with the Vienna and tubes....it's all about pairing. I didn't sell my AU24 ICs, I've got them handy for when I wind up with something with a silk dome tweeter, some PSBs, etc...but with my Piegas and SS electronic... | |
| Nordost Frey vs Audience Au24e interconnect One more note...Althought the Audience might be percieved as having a lower noise floor and blacker background, I felt they had a tendency to push certain frequencies (instruments) to the front...this was cool is some ways, but it happened at the ... | |
| Nordost Frey vs Audience Au24e interconnect Yes...I'd been away from my system, travelling, for about a month...I came back, sat down, and things just didn't sound rich, engaging or "right." I cranked up the volume and (I was using Pandor), thought the file compression (Adobe?) must be at f... | |
| Pass Labs x150.5 question I have an x150.5, it replaced a higher wattage Cary ss amp. It's driving Piega C8's (ribbon tweeter, 4 Ohms, 87 db). It rocks. Got more low end that the Cary and is smoother in the mids. The Cary had some screamin' trebile though...(read: totally ... | |
| Nordost Frey vs Audience Au24e interconnect Ok, my final verdict (played some Ulrich Schnauss, Judas Priest, Sword, Orb, Bela Fleck, Ocean Blue)....If i listened at lower volumes, I slightly prefered the Audience, but at higher volumes, I overwhenlmingly preferred the Norsodt. Anything nort... | |
| Nordost Frey vs Audience Au24e interconnect You bet. I'll pop the Frey back in, tomorrow, and circle back. I'll try to use 2 songs as a reference point. | |
| Albums on Bluray ??? Bought Police Live show...not an album, obviously, but it's AWESOME. | |
| Nordost Frey vs Audience Au24e interconnect Ok, first impressions:The AU24 zeros in on instruments and voices, dropping the backround "noise" and pushing some things to the front. In some cases this works brilliantly, in others, it seems ovewrly analystical.The Frey is warmer. Hard to beliv... | |
| Nordost Frey vs Audience Au24e interconnect I just popped in the Au24s. Breaking in over the next few days... | |
| Nordost Frey vs Audience Au24e interconnect Agree on Nordost SC's, Coxhaus. My ribbon tweeters seem to mitigate brightness (dispursion?), so the impression I'm left with of the frey is definately NOT that it's bright at all. It's snappy, got drive, and great coherence. | |
| PS Audio DL3 signal input querstion Which Cheskey disks are these? Any outside of the Cheskley label? |
