| Which purist interconnect?? Fusion Audio Romance IC1.For quite a few this has become the last interconnect upgrade, having tried it out in my system, I can see myself going in that direction. While I know what its flaws are, I would still call it flawless simply because I ra... | |
| Experienced audiophiles best speaker music lover speakers = Harbeth, Spendorsaudiophile speakers = wilson audio, magico, DynaudioSpendor, Yes but Harbeth ? Not at all. Harbeths are both extremely colored and analytical, thats a rare combination. It is colored on the thick/fat side to... | |
| Experienced audiophiles best speaker ATC !!!You really need some experience to get it perform. If you do not have the experience, be rest assured that you will learn a lot, and anyway get the "experienced" tag | |
| Magnepan 1.7 or used Totem Forest Please consider that Totem Forest is pretty difficult to drive an control. You need a very beefy amplifier and they put lots of bass (bit artificial to my ears) which needs a big room to be consumed. Overall Maggie is far superior if you can keep ... | |
| Which speakers have the biggest soundstage I agree on the tube part. Look at electrostats or hybrids with Electrostats. You cant beat them for soundstage open-ness:http://www.cadenceaudio.com/speakers.html | |

| Why is high capacitance good? Thanks for the world of info you have provided Al, very rarely do I come across such meticulously written technical posts.Just one last question, could you please suggest what range of figures of Capacitance, Inductance and Resistance do you consi... | |
| Who makes a GM-70 based SET? Has anyone compared the sound of GM-70 vs 845 tubes ?Seemingly they both are used to build tube amps with high power, but both have different origins hence should have a different signature sound. Can someone shed some light here ?Sibelius, does y... | |
| Why is high capacitance good? Also, how long an IC is okay to use in a decent hi-rez setup ? | |
