| Gold interconnect comparison help Mr Tennis - To add to JaFox's comments... I would not recommend JD's more expensive cables (the Hybrids) to someone with a modest system, however, better cables do make a helluva difference in highly resolving systems with higher end components. B... | |
| Gold interconnect comparison help Okay... the Jade Hybrids have been burning-in since last night, and already the difference in my system is very noticeable. Big improvement in dynamics, clarity, decay. I know it sounds like a cliche, but I'm hearing things I've never heard before... | |
| Optimal room for org sonus faber cremonas Stongly recommend you start by contacting Rives for a level 1 or 2 consultation. The guys @ GIK Acoustics are another good source of info and effective room treatment products @ a very reasonable price. Do it right from the git-go, and you will sp... | |
| whats the best amplifier for me?? Larryken... your killin me :> | |
| Gold interconnect comparison help John - Thanks for your input. I just placed an order with JD for two of his Hybrid IC's with RCA's. Should be a huge upgrade over my Nordost Blue Heaven and another no name cable. I anxiously await their arrival! | |
| Gold interconnect comparison help Glory & Jmcgrogan2...What was the final verdict in your cable swapping comparison between the Jade Hybrid & the GG Rapture?Jmcgrogan - what amp & preamp are you using with your Verity PO'sAlso, where you balanced or single ended? | |
| Question on Emm labs Dac6 vs Dac6e Guidocorona - I too have heard great things about the MPS-5 and read Mike Lavigne's review. But I question your comment about the price of the MPS unit being a fraction of the EMM labs rigs. I think I recall seeing "used" EMM labs rigs selling for... | |
| GIK Acoustic Treatments My experience with GIK was very pleasant. I have 8 of the 244 panels and would likely order a few more products from them if my wife hadn't freaked out so much when the 244 panels arrived. Excellent bang for the buck! | |
| Genuine Telefunken? I can vouch for excellence of Tele ECC803S, as they took my inexpensive Jolida tuner to a whole new level (got mine from Audiogon seller "Sam1104"). They were not cheap, but I'm a big believer in "you get what you pay for".Stick with reputable dea... | |
| Best Subwoofer for B&W 805s Speakers REL Storm III @ $900 to $1,000 on the used market. Very musical with a seamless presentation... offering a high degree of flexibility as far as connection options and adjustability. I had previously owned four other subs, including two from Velody... | |
| Line Stage battle: ARC LS26 vs Aesthetix Calypso Kind of tough to compare the two unless you've owned & experimented with both. However, as an owner of the Calypso, I can say from experience that the Calypso can be transformed from very average to exceptional with the addition of $500 to $1,... | |
| Company or Solitude? Solitude, without question. My wife refers to me as an Old Poop, as I get annoyed when my time alone in my Man Cave gets interupted by the phone ringing or my wife wanting to chit-chat. I enjoy my job, work hard and deal with customers & co-wo... | |
| Used Speaker Recommendations Under $5k... I once owned the Plinius 8200 MKII, which mated nicely with Dynaudio 1.3SE's. Being a long time fan of Dynaudio, and given your mention of finding the Dynaudio house sound appealing, I would agree with Missioncoonery on choosing the S5.4 (or the S... | |
| Up grading power amp... Mono blocks or stereo amp? John - What $10K stereo amp are you using now? | |
| Gamut D200 vs Plinius SA102 class a vs. ab Bud - I can't speak for the Gamut, but can tell you the SA-102 sounds better when operating in Class A vs. AB. If you have concerns with using the Plinius in Class A, go with a different amp that runs cooler. |
