| Nordost Tyr 2 Spkr Cables - Alternate for less $$ Zd542's response, although not necessarily what we want to hear is the correct one. I've been wrestling with the cable question for some time seeking the best &/or a giant (read costly) killer, and given the almost infinite number of our indiv... | |
| USB SQ, what can one expect As with each audio type component, USB can be expected to be: poor-to-good-to-absolute-state-of-the-art depending upon the component designer's: expertise, capabilities, priorities, and voicing. Anything more specific is a generalization that does... | |
| High quality CD recordings I 2nd. Reference Recordings and Chesky. Formerly, Telarc were considered in that league, now, although I still enjoy many of the Telarc CD's that I own, I no longer consider them as having the same recording qualities as the former two. | |
| Brain Games - Watch This - National Geographic Good series....indeed, we're so very predijiced when it comes to what we believe our brains perceive. Optical illusions are a prime example.

| Another hearing loss thread So sorry for you hearing loss.Several years ago after getting back into vinyl, via eBay I obtained a MFSL Beatles box set from a gent who was reducing his collection due to age and hearing loss. I too thought how very sad that was. Upon turning 50... | |
| Vaughn Speakers I've not heard the Plasma tweeter, but spent a lot of time at 2012 RMAF listening to Jim's then flagship speaker. As I was considering downsizing from 400 lb Monoblocks and Soundlab speakers, to hand held amps and Jim's highly efficient speakers, ... | |
| Frustrated with Bonamassa Live CDs I so wanted the "Joe Bonamassa Live From New York's Beacon Theater" Blu-Ray to be sonically good, but was quite disappointed. One of the poorest recorded DVD's I own. | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers It's tough enough for us to find systems that fulfill our wants/needs without trying to find equipment that "repairs" auditory limitations. You mentioned that a perçussive source such as a piano bothers you. I wonder if that is the case with live ... | |
| Soundlab speakers with sub woofers? Rleff: Hearing the MA1 and then the MA2 with Soundlab U1PX's was a real treat. As could be imagined, the overall sound was very, very similar. The MA2's had a little more gravitas -- i.e., control and thus, refinement. The difference was minimal &... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD It's a shame that this thread has degenerated to product touting by a persistent small manufacturer.I believe that there has been more than one manufacturer "touting" his wares. However, because each has identified themselves, I welcome and encour... | |

| Soundlab speakers with sub woofers? My Soundlab M1PX's driven by CAT JL3 monoblocks (150 watts/ch)have very musical, spectacular bass. No subwoofer needed here!In fact, when auditioning CAT JL1 tube monoblocks (100 watt/ch.) several years ago against my Mark Levinson 350 watt/ch. ss... | |
| How important for surrounds to match fronts? I can get a pair of aerial model 5s but i have no room behind the listening areaI concur with the other comments about the surrounds not necessarily needing to match, but have you considered finding brackets or shelves to mount the Ariel 5s on the... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Always interested in new products, especially at this time, cables, I've been following this thread from its inception, with great interest!After recently adding a component to the system and wanting to wait for things to stabilize, before auditio... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? I really appreciated the discourse contained in this thread, especially the comments of Brownsfan and Chares1dad!The title caught my attention because of my son's Klipsch Heresy system and our discussions about his need to try SET's vs using my ol... |
