| Any opinions on Signal Cable products? I just replaced all my cables with signal cables. It was the first time I ever chose to 'downgrade' in the name of better sound--I'm selling my old stuff for as much or more than what I'm paying for the Signal wire.Here's what I replaced:Virtual D... | |
| Thoughts on the Unico Someone thought it sounded flat?I was worried when I got it that it would sound too warm and round, perhaps muddy. I was in for a surprise. It is unbelievably dynamic. Incredible speed and drive and slam. It's also warm and full sounding, but for ... | |
| Match for Unison S2K + Unico cd I'm using the zerius speakers with the unico integrated and a rega planet 2000.the system is almost ingeniously good, but so far it's a bit unbalanced (too much trebble, some hardness in the upper mids).I've been able to improve things by changing... | |
| Tube upgrade for Unison Research unico Here's an alternative view ... avoid the cv4003 tubes, or any advice from kevin at upscale audio. He's earned himself a horrible reputation with a lot of tube-o-files for selling crap and misleading people in order to unload inventory. Example: th... | |
| Impressions of the Stones SACDs What surprises me is that some people are saying the remastaered production is different on the individual albums than it is on the Hot Rocks compilation ... that Sympathy for the Devil, for instance, would sound different on the Beggar's Banquet ... | |

| Burn in time for Virtual Dynamics Cables has anyone made a deal with rick to get lower end cables pre-burned? | |
| Help me tame the brightness of my Triangles Aniwolf, how did you decide to try that combination of Cardas and Magnan? Did you try all Cardas at one point and find the others better?Has anyone tried Virtual Dynamics cables?I've read some high praise and spoke to Rick at VD .. he's sending me... | |
| Help me tame the brightness of my Triangles >Not sure what you mean by how they're configured. Are talking about the basic design of the cable? | |
| Help me tame the brightness of my Triangles My previous speakers were interim only .. cheap Onkyo bookshelf speakers. They sounded fine with everything, but managed this by having very little frequency extension in either direction.I have heard the Unico/Triangle combination with other sour... | |
| Help me tame the brightness of my Triangles Thanks for all the advice, everyone.Curious about the impressions of the 80's mullards. My only frame of reference is the USA Jan/Philips tubes that the amp came with. These were grainier and more forward in the midrange, but had similar tonal bal... | |
| Sweet Spot for Triangle Speakers The sweet spot with my Zerius speakers got wider and wider as they broke in. Also, my experiments with toe-in surprised me: the image snapped into better focus and the sweet spot got wider when I toed them in way more than seemed logical. Right no... |
