Review: AudioQuest Ruby Interconnect
I have owned the Ruby cables, and you are right. There is definately a big improvement over the stock 'junk' cables that come with equipment. Every time you replace a pair of ICs and speaker cable you will notice the same thing. Some cables and ap... 
Purist Audio Colossus speaker cables... wow
Germanboxers I have the Purist Colossus ICs and the new museaus ICs and speaker cables. I also own a 5 meter pair of Proteus ICs. The Museaus is much cheaper than the older Colossus and Proteus but gives little to the Proteus and nothing to the Co... 
Wisconsin - Anyone interested?
I'm sorry to have to miss this first meeting, but I hope everyone has a great time. I will be watching for the next!!! 
Usher and Kharma Speakers
Can you buy the crossovers, drivers, etc. without the cabinet? 
Usher and Kharma Speakers
I don't know if this is a isuue for you, but Usher speakers are made in China. They look nice but I refuse to buy anything from a country that treats it's own citizens with such disregard. I almost bought a pair of them a few months ago till I fou... 
Speaker placement/balance
My initial response is to ask if your speakers are too far apart. What you are experiencing is normal to a degree, but it shouldn't be that dramatic. Try moving them together a few inches and see if that helps. Put marks on the floor for the origi... 
Home HiFi better than Live?
I think the biggest misunderstanding here is that studio recordings are accurate to what was played by the musicians. Everywhere along the line choices are made by the people in the studio, beginning with the microphone and then working back to th... 
What cables would you recommend?
I went from using almost exclusively Cardas to exclusively PAD. I think the improvement was definately worth the money. The PAD is more open and detailed, with a much more palpable soundstage. Try the new Museaus, the price of good PAD cable has c... 
Review: Sony SS-M7aes Speaker
No, they have a new line of 'better' speakers but they are nowhere near as good as the SS-M series. I looked at them recently at Abt electronics and they are a big step backwards. These SS-M7es come up for sale from time to time here on AudiogoN. ... 
Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list
Some of this will sound crazy. okay, all of it, but here's an odd list.1) Hoyt Axton 'Fearless' The vocals and single guitar on the song 'Gypsy Moth' are recorded very close and sound amazing.2) The Carpenters I can't think of the name of the LP b... 
Can You Go From Good To Dazzling
The cables that dazzled me the most are nearly anything from Purist Audio Design. I have replaced every cable in my system with Purist over the last two years. All of the cables sound good, but the new Museaus is cheap and sounds great. If you wan... 
Home HiFi better than Live?
If a person is attending a concert purely for the sound quality they are missing the point of music! One of the most significant aspects of the experience is the experience itself. If the local symphony is playing my favorite piece, the experience... 
Home HiFi better than Live?
I don't know where you guys are going for concerts or what you like to hear, but I have never heard music in my listening room that was half as engaging as that of a live concert. In a sense the music on an LP or CD is manufactured. Things are don... 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
I saw those sheets in a store a few months ago. The guy told me he helped develop them (along with every other technological advance of the 20th century). He was full of something... He was suggesting thier use inside equipment. Does anyone have e... 
Sonic Relativism?
There is probably more truth to the statement that says: When their results meet their presupositions, the data passes. I have had people come over to listen to music that have not been over for several interations of the system and they (being no...
