| Aq sky vs stealth indra I have both. The Indra is incredibly detailed, transparent, neutral but full-bodied, a bit warmer than Valhallas, which I also have.The Sky's are excellent cable but I would say a notch below the Indra's in the food chain, very well-balanced, good... | |
| Are you still playing CDs after, comp based syst? I still love the sound of a CD played on my modded CEC TL-1X transport through PWD MKII DAC. Generally use a Byrston BDP-1 digital music player, but sometimes there is a warmth to the CD playback that analog fans probably love about their LP's.Neal | |
| "NEWEST'" Favorite album Tift Merritt - Traveling AloneThe most under-appreciated female singer-songwriter in America. This album is a treasure.Neal | |
| In-ear Headphone Advice Requested Etymotic HF5's -- about $110 on aAmazon; the 4s's if you can spring for $240. I have had both for years. They are absolutely superb. Best in-ears I have listened to in or near those price ranges. I Listen to the 4S's every day on train to work and... | |
| Tube pre amp problem?? Help?? RW's response is not helpful. Many of us roll tubes with tube pre's and enjoy the variety without incident, and obtain the benefits of a tube pre over SS.Is there a US rep or dealer for Dared in US you can contact? Email dared in China? Don't give... | |
| Nordost Quattro Fil is still good I also use a pair of Valkyrja's in my BR system and they are everything Dne says they are. At current used prices they are a great bargain.Neal | |
| Nordost Quattro Fil is still good Valhallas are still around as a reference cable because they still ARE a reference cable. It was a breakthrough design that has stood the test of time. Breakthrough designs in cable are very few and far between. Same for amps, pre's, less so for D... | |
| What do audiophiles listen in their cars? BMW 330i Coupe. Superb audio system. Radio has HD capability. Use aux/USB input for iPod or iPhone. Sounds grand. Only problems are BMW has a custom cable with dual USB and aux inputs which must be used simultaneously, and I have not found an upgr... | |
| PS Audio PWD MKII HiFi Tuning fuse direction I use these fuses to excellent effect in my vintage Sansui tuners and directionality makes an obvious difference. Why would it make a difference on e.g., interconnects but not fuses?Neal | |
| Bryston Announces NEW BDP-2 / BDA-2 From what I have read on the BDP-1 AudioCircles site, there is no real improvement in peformance, just in handling capacity and some features, e.g., NAS connectivity. No one who has a BDP-1 needs to go out and upgrade, and I think the BDP-1 will r... | |
| New Music Recommendations 2012 Lisa Marie Presley's latest -- Storm and Grace -- produced by T-Bone Burnett, is breathtakingly good. Lucinda Williams-esque but deeper and more mysterious sounding.This is a landmark album, mark my words.Neal | |
| Conrad Johnson dedicated fansite I have had a PF-R almost from when it first came out and never had a day of trouble with it. I had to swap out my main rig Wyetech Opal for a week and subbed the PF-R and while it is no Opal, I was not unhappy and could have lived with it.Cannot c... | |
| PS Audio PWD MkII vs W4S DAC2 Thanks for your comments. I principally use a Bryston BDP-1 digital player to feed the W4S DAC2 with a Stealth Sexter AES/EBU digicable.. It is a great product. Occassionally use my modded CEC TL-1x with a Kharma RCA digicable. Best transport I ha... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2012 You are welcome, Toddnkaya.If you like female singers, you might try Jessie Baylin's latest disc. She is very good.Neal | |
| Digital Coax to XLR adapters? You shoul ask the folks at Music Direct, who I think sell the adaptors. or ask Cardas; they sell very good RCA/XLR adaptors. I don't see why the would not work. Just passing a signal, but what do I know. Just a dumb lawyer who thinks digital means... |
