| How many system makeovers to get to where u r now? although i have owned a number of amps, preamps, cable products, cd players, turntables,arms and cartridges and cd players, i can say that my first stereo system, 42 years ago could have lasted 42 years, if not for repair problems. it was my favor... | |
| Harshness in tweeters: the price of transparency? maybe you should take a vaction from cones. try a different design and perhaps use a tube amp. dipole treble vs cone treble has been discusssed many times before.i am not a fan of cones but those i can live with are silk dome or the "old" copper d... | |

| What is the ideal High Freq extension? if live unamplified music is a reference, and the concert hall in particular, the attenuation in treble will vary with distance from the stage, the acoustics of the hall and the number of bodies in front and to the side of you.in addition, the voi... | |
| Will adding a preamp dramatically change my sound? a preamp may color the sound, creating a "flavor" you may or may not prefer. it may be worth your time to listen to a feww preamps. | |
| AZ Absolute; which is oh boy, this is subjectivity at its best, or worst. i owned acoustic matrix 2 and sartori. i realize it's not what you have. i believe your cables are silver-based, which may be an issue.i would not presume to tell you what to do with your cables.... | |
