| Sim I-5 vs. Plinius Integrateds. Which one? Thanks to all of you who responded...good suggestions all. Just to clarify one little point: I don't listen to rock (Dire Straits is about the heaviest rock I listen to). The clipping I heard on my 92 dB efficient Tyler Linbrook Monitors was on a ... | |
| Huge difference in sound : Spikes vs. Vibrapods Hi guys. Over the years I have always endeavored to increase the mass of dynamic speaker systems in order to lower their natural resonant frequency. I'll use my set up as a case in point. Each speaker weighs 55 lbs. The stands, unfilled, weigh abo... | |
| My quest: an integrated with great imaging. Help Gentlemen, your comments are helpful, and insightful concerning speaker placement. My listening room is free of any gross anomalies, luckily, but you hit the nail on the head concerning the former: the rear-ported Linbrooks must stay close to the ... | |
| My quest: an integrated with great imaging. Help Thanks, guys. I appreciate the input y'all have provided so far. To answer cfb's questions: sources are Cary CD-303 player and McIntosh MR-77 FM tuner; cables are Silver Audio Bullets (1/2M) CD --> amp, and Audioquest AQ-8s (8 ft.) bi-wired to ... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Mikeam, I forget to mention Eva's exquisite rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. This is the first of her songs that I heard...more than enough to hook me. As for Ella, no one has surpassed her in an overall sense...so versatile and always spo... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Mikeam, you're a man after my own heart. You must also try Eva Cassidy's Live at Blues Alley. Her "covers" of Fields of Gold, Autumn Leaves, People Get Ready and What a Wonderful World are fabulous. Concerning her much lamented death, my understan... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Bach's Mass in B Minor does it for me. How can I ever forget seeing/hearing it performed in the church Handel attended in London. Check out #7, "Gratias agimus tibi"...it starts simply with the chorus and builds from there, adding tympani and trum... | |
| Musical Fidelity MC-4 owners:Time to upgrade?? Sean, great idea. Yes, I think I could trust him as he has no residual interest in Musical Fidelity speakers that I know of. Would you know how I could contact him? Thanks, Lee. | |
| Redbooks: as good on Sony SACD as on Cary 303? Thank you, Abecollins, for your very helpful description/information on the Carys. Your last paragraph is very telling and will weigh heavily in the mix as I consider my own answer to my thread's question. Audiophiles like you are much appreciated... | |
| Redbooks: as good on Sony SACD as on Cary 303? Thanks to all for your responses...I'm hoping more folks will be inclined to share their experiences, too. Abecollins, you simply must tell us the results if you ever get the chance to compare your Cary 306 to a quality SACD player. Your comments ... | |
| Why do cables need break-in? My thanks to 2001impala, Sugarbrie, and Audiopath for their explanations and for taking time out to provide them. As for you other guys, try this: My wife and I have a wonderful marriage. It's probably because we go out twice a week. She goes out ... |
