| Aerial 20T...has anyone heard it? I listenned to the 20T's just recently along with the Wilson watt/puppies 6, I believe. The 20T's were absolutely fantastic. The imaging,soundstage, everything was terrific. The idrange was a little laidback for my friend's taste, who likes the B&... | |
| TransParent Cables vs. Others I have a solid state system and love the Golden Cross biwires. In yours, you might want to consider Red Dawn IC's, which will give you good clear bass extension with the upper end detail for your tubed system. | |

| Why is Double Blind Testing Controversial? Having started this thread, I will weigh in with a comment. First, I can't understand how Judit can flatly say that DBT "serves no useful purpose." I DBT'd cables using a Marantz 8300 DVD-A/SACD/CD player (this has two L/R outs so cables can be di... | |
| What speakers for $5K Used? I auditioned a few yesterday at a local store, none of which were mentioned here, but I will share some of the experiences. I went to listen to the Aerial 10T's, and of course, they are discontinued. There is a new 10T coming out in 6-12 mos, thou... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Picking up on what Redkiwi said about coax vs. digital, I and a friend were able to A/B the new Audioquest Optilink 5 with Audioquest's digital RCA, the VSD-4. The result was truly surprising. The Optilink glass fiber Toslink was significantly bet... | |
| Can asking price be changed after offer is made? I think that from a legal standpoint, Sean is correct. "Best Offer" does not necessarily, although usually, refers to offers less than the asking price. But there is no reason "best offer" is limited in that way. | |
| Have you had buyers/sellers back out of a deal? My realistic viewpoint is that there are all types of people, just like in "brick & mortar" retail. Some flake and some don't. Anyone who has done retail consumer sales can tell you that people are nuts. On here, a deal is never completed unti... | |
| Can asking price be changed after offer is made? I am a lawyer and legally, when there is an offer to sell at a certain price and an unqualified acceptance, there is a legally binding contract. However, the reality of the deal, as pointed out by others, is that there is no practical way to enfor... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Mercedes SL500. Only car I ever want. If money was no object, maybe I'd get the SL600. Mercedes does it right. On the other hand, when I'm not blowing money on my stereo, I really maintain myself in the poor house with my custom built Harley, so t... | |
| What speakers for $5K Used? I'm in San Diego and I'm going to check out the 10T's, snce there is a local dealer. I have to say, though, that there are a lot of posts in the Speaker Asylum comparing the 10T's to the PSB Goldi! Now, I listened critically to the Goldi against t... | |

| Hendrix blues I have the LP import of Hendrix in the West and the whole recording is great quality. His rendition of Johnny B. Good is particularly excellent as well. | |
| satellite digital ?'s A little off-thread, but I did a shoot-out last night with the new Audioquest Optilink 5 toslink cable versus their VSD-4 digital coax, and the result was astonishing (in the world of cable differences, that is). Contrary to popular belief, the To... | |
| Looking for a Shotgun... I demo'ed the AZ Shotguns and I have to say that they were excellent in my system. I'd highly recommend them. |
