| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? Mapleleafs, based on what? You seem to have all the answers. Please enlighten us with the homebrew recepie that beats them all. | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? Maplelaughs, I have done all the relevant diy cable recepies and while most are good, they don't compare to any of the cables in my system. The cheapest being $200.BTW my moniker was what popped into my head when I first went on the 'gon to replac... | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? Maplelaughs, find me a $90 interconnect that is better than the purist. I've heard a number of cables recently and I have to say the Aqueous is the class of the bunch. I preferred it to cables costing twice as much (literally). | |
| Your opinions on cross-wiring the binding posts? Once upon a time I had biwire speakers. I tried all configurations. Jumpers to the highs, jumpers to the lows, cross positive to highs, cross positive to lows.What sounded best? Well, that depends on what you feel is important. They all had a diff... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Rcprince, perhaps fountain pens would work better, or felt tip markers. How about #2 pencils or paper clips. Heck, the office supply store could be a gold mine for audiophile tweaks. Forget the clock. Give me the magic pens! | |
| Amp advice for Avantegarde HELP Art audio is a good choice. Another you may want to consider is the Audiopax 88. It is a very innovative design using KT88's. Supposedly they are an excellent match with the Avantgardes. | |

| Advice on stand alone DAC Take a look at a modded Museatex Bitstream. I have yet to hear anything better for the money (or for that matter, several times the money. | |
| PassX1 with black power supply vs Chassis supply Just passing on what the dealer told me. | |
| What speakers match well with Atma Sphere? One more vote for the Coincident Eclipse. Although the Victory line is in my opinion superior, I feel that the Atma-Sphere amps mate better with the Eclipse. | |
| Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers? Listen to them before you buy. I heard them and was not too impressed and neither was the dealer who was showing them.However, the problem may have been an issue of a less than ideal amp for the speakers. I plan to hear them again with different a... | |
| PassX1 with black power supply vs Chassis supply I auditioned the X1 with an X250 at a dealer showroom. When I asked the dealer the very same question, I was told that the only differences were cosmetic. | |
| The best audiophile "gag" gift for X-Mas You guys used the chip wrong. It works great if you meditate while standing on your head prior to placing it wherever you are supposed to place it. | |
| Myth: low-power high-efficiency I was discussing this subject with someone last week. I made the point that that there are a small handful of SET amps which have that dynamic energy. And where this is derived is in the power supply of the amp. But few SETs have a robust enoough ... | |
