| Marigo vs Kubala-Sosna Has anyone compared the Emotions to cables by Virtual Dynamics - Revelation or Master series? Reason I ask is that I've been lusting after a pair of the Virtual Dynamics cables having seen and heard them at the recent audio show in LA - but would ... | |
| Watt Puppy 8 vs. Zu Definition I heard both speakers at the audio show in LA earlier this month. It's really hard to compare them both, especially given the different rooms, electronics (Zu had much more modest source and preamp on hand relative to the Wilson room) and short li... | |
| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective "Inner Detail", "Leading-edge Transients", "Attack", "Fast". I find the terms are pretty cool but I'm just not sure I can attribute them to a component. | |
| Building your own high end turntable stand? I just attended the HES show in LA last weekend - what a thril. I saw a very nice set of stands in one of the demo rooms. The stands ware branded Fusion Designs. They supported a Brinkman TT among other elctronics. Anyway, I haven't been able to f... | |
| My vote for Vandersteen 5A at Audio show My vote goes to the ESP speakers, driven by the Wavestream amps. That was the most musical room I encountered at the show. Another creepy good room I found was the room set up by Rives Audio with the Rockport speakers and Gryphon electronics. | |
| LA Show Report Myself and another audiophile buddy went to the LA show as well. It was the first show of it's kind for me, and such fun. We spent a full three days there and I think we took in every single room on the four floors. I echo many of Brainwater's com... | |
| Edge M8M vs NuForce I owned a pair of the NuForce 9.02, and I just listened to a pair of the new SE versions of those amps at the HES show in LA a few days ago.I sold the NuForce 9.02s after comparing them to the KR Audio monoblocks which I still have. I found the Nu... | |
| Building your own high end turntable stand? I'm thinking of using four concrete blocks to support my Teres 255. I'm currently using the bottom shelf of my Adona stand, but it's not comfortably accessible (you can see from my virtual system). I'm wondering if the concrete will be effective s... | |
| Building your own high end turntable stand? Dean, I'm also interested in learning possibilities here, as I have a similar need for a waist-high support for my Teres 255. I have it on a stand right now but it's very close to the floor (as there is too much vibration if I have it higher on th... | |
| "Absolute best" used speaker for $8-10K I second the recommendation on the JM Lab Altos. | |
| Amp s to drive JM Lab Diva Utopia Be Just to update, I ended up trying a pair of the Nuforce Ref 9.02 amps. They were fun to try, but ultimately my Kr Audio 6000 monoblocks proved the more compelling set of amps, in my system, to my ear. Hence, I sold the Nuforce.I found the Nuforce ... | |
| Speaker Cables - Revelation, Elrod, Violin or FIM? Just to update, I decided to purchase a pair of the Elrod speaker cables. So far, so good. | |
| Speaker Cables - Revelation, Elrod, Violin or FIM? Guys, thanks for the input so far. Mechans - yes, those Jena Labs Dream Dancers do look fantastic. I've thought of Jena for sure, although their Pathfinders and Dream Dancers typically run a bit too expensive for my budget. In terms of pride-of-ow... | |
| Amp s to drive JM Lab Diva Utopia Be Guys, thanks for the input so far. I have heard of those Nuforce amps, and they do seem intriguing. The price seems quite affordable too. I may look into them. | |
| power cords In my limited experience, the effects seem to vary depending on the power cord. I use a couple of FIM Gold PCs on my audio setup (I find they do make a material difference here), but I tried on on my CRT projector and noticed no discernable differ... |
