| What has been your most satisfying component? okay, maybe the brain and ears are not audio components.my favorite audio component was and still is the quad esl. | |
| In pursuit of the golden ear. perception is reality. if an "expert" tells you the highs are extended, the bass is deep, the soundstage is wide, etc., he/she doesn't accompany you home when you listen to your stereo system. it is more important what you believe you hear than wh... | |
| What has been your most satisfying component? my brain and my ears (is that 2 components ?). i don't need a component or stereo system to enjoy music. | |
| Synergy synergy is very subjective. i find quads and classic tube designs very synergistic, you may not. | |
| Transparency and the two types of speakers it is possible to get transparency from your dyn audio speakers, just as it is possible to get "beauty" from the quad 57. it depends upon the cd player, amp, pre amp and cables. you can have one speaker system and a variety of electronics. i favor... | |
| PrimaLuna CD Player? i heard the prima luna cd player at ces.the sound of "modern tube designs" is what you can expect from this component. that is, it sounds like there are no tubes in it. fortunately, it doesn't sound like a solid state cd player.as i have said and ... | |

| Sonics of tube modifications from Modwright i don't perceive any subtractive coloration when listening to modwright components. if anything, they are too detailed. | |
| Best cables what do you mean by "best" ? that is, what is your criteria for great sound ? | |

| What's better than Oritek X-2 when using the term "better", especially for those of us not familiar with the oritek cables, it would be useful to describe the way in which one cable is better than another.one man's treasure is another's trash. better for you might not be bette... | |
| CES / THE Show i brought an acoustic guitar jazz cd as a reference.i was very disappointed. most of the systems were unable to provide atimbrally accurate representation of the nylon strings and wood body. thus in my opinion, the sound of most rooms, with the ex... | |
| Anyone try the Paul Speltz Anti Wires? hi slaw3:why do you prefer the audio art cable over the anti cables (i assume interconnect and speaker) ?i think the term "blows them away is too ambiguous to be used in an audio discussion. it is better to be factual, as reporter when describing ... | |
| CES 07 Show Report i attended ces and will be composing a show report for Audiophilia.com.i will try to summarize my findings.with the exception of a few exhibits, the sound was mediocre.i used an acoustic guitar cd as a reference. very few stereo systems represente... |
