| Biwire with different cables? I think it is better to have use good quality speaker cable, and use then good quality jumper cables. Biwire might work when you bi-amp. But if you only use 1 stereo or 2 mono amps I don't see how biwire could have any effect.I'm highly sceptical ... | |
| other speaker cable, what to buy I prefer to keep cable at the orginal length. If I shorten them I am afraid the will become worthless if I want to sell them. If I have them professionally shortened I think that the costs wil be considerable. Since my speakers don't have a biwire... | |

| Which power cord more important? if I were you I would try to borrow 2 powercables from a show/friend etc. Then just play with them, try to see if they make any difference at all.I did play a little with powercable. My conclusion is that on my DAC the improvement was the biggest,... | |

| Wilson Maxx 2 vs Sonus Faber Stradivari I don't know these models but I have "compared" the Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 7 with the Sonus Faber Stradivari. Well compared is a big word. There is a shop in Leiden who sells both and I had a quick listen to both. I think Sonus Faber makes great ... | |
| MBL 111F, anyone heard them yet? I have not heard that model I have heard the MBL 101-MKII. If I had that kind of money to spend on audio MBL would not be high on my list.At an audioshow MBL had I think a reference system, it was really bling bling but I think I could come up wit... | |
| How does one choose a phono stage. Thank you all for the information and replies. Someone told be that the Nagra might be to analytical for a Lyra Dorian, since the Dorian is also rather bright/analytical. I have not heard the Nagra myself so I cannot comment ont that.Tube phono am... | |
| why is a 13" tonearm design really superior? "Why are todays tonearm developers not anymore going for a 13" or 14" design?"I think this has to with cost, most people cannot afford the big tonearms. The 12" are more often then not well in the 4 figures. | |

| What do you see as the downside of tubes? I have never owned any tube gear and I think I'll never will. Tube amps have to much much of a own sound signature. They may have sound beautiful and lush and warm. But when I play some ear bleeding trash metal I don't want a full bodied liquid wa... | |

| TW Acustic Black Knight You have a point Dgad, I am not trying to discourage people from buying the Black Night or the AC.What I am trying to say is that just replacing an AC with a Back Night doesn't automatically mean the sound will improve. Like you said arm and cartr... |
