Fusion Audio Romance series cables
Great review of Eric's cables.I've been using an Enchanter,Impulse and 2 Predators for some time. My last were xlr Romance .They were the icing on the cake for me.I introduced each cable about 6-10 months apart depending on finances. I cannot find... 
audio aero vs ayon cd5
Both the AA Prestige and the Ayon CD5 are Full 2 channel Analogue Preamps,Transports and DAC's all in one.You have an fine preamp so you would not be able to utilize all their features. The AA Prestige as with all Audio Aero gear are getting more ... 
London, Ontario
Sarnia is not too far away.You all ever setup any meetings.My system is posted on this site.Haven't changed too much since I found the Emerald Physics and Fusion audio power cords.Sorry can't afford to get too much back into vinyl but Linn works f... 
Fusion Audio Romance Series
I've had them in my system for 2 weeks.They are freakin' unreal. I removed a set of Nirvana SX , which were not to bad really and comparible in pricing.The Romance Series cable has no flaws that I can detect.So where was all the overtones,stage am... 
Review: Wyred4Sound STI 500 Amplifier
I've had my W4S amps for 15 months so plenty worn in.They are very easy on the electric bill also.Compared to a Tube amp that retailed for 3 times as much it is now collecting dust.I've yet to find fault with them in any regard.I also have heard b... 
Question for Canadian members
Shipping to US is usually quick.At times 2-3 days.Shipping to Canada 10 days is minimum usually 18 days.Expect to pay Duties even shipped USPS to Canada Post.The Gov't is looking for any money they can get. Extras fees as usual from FED-EX and the... 
Best version of Moody Blues "Days of Future Passed
I have both MFSL and SACD versions, as well as an older original pressing.The SACD in my system is the better of the two. In fact 'In Search of the Lost Chord' and 'On the Threshold of a Dream' are much better in SACD than vinyl.Some of the others... 
New Distributor for Audio Aero??
Good question. I don't think Audio Aero Exists .They don't answer emails at head office or answer the phones. 
Emerald Physics speakers
The CS2.3 are the new release. Supposed to be better than the CS2's by a wide margin.I've not heard them yet.I'll likely upgrade from my CS2's but I'm in no real hurry as I am still content with them(course things change depending on disposable in... 
Emerald Physics C2 or Usher BE-718
After 35 years of having fun looking for the best realism for the money (and spent a small fortune)I've also ended up with the CS2's.With each change in my system from 18 years with Maggie's M.111's and more recently 1.6QR's and the Spendor FL6 i'... 
Linn Basic LVX or Rega RB300 ?
Thank you all for your responses.The local dealer also suggests to stay with the Linn arms. I wanted to make use of the RB300 with the wire upgrade.So I am going to go with Bgregory and sell the Rega and get an Ittok.I also don't know much about d... 
Sim Audio W-5 Fuse blew half way on the pre amp
I sent my Sim W5 back for repair.Come to find out it was because the 120volt line was only dishing out 116volts coming to the house.Called the electric company and they came and adjusted the current and viola, perfect.All this after I spent $800 r... 
Accuphase c280l
Hey , I used to own one of them.Sold it years ago to a member in California. Anyways, I loved it.Wish I still had it but you can't keep everything.I sold it after I tried my Audio Aero Cap MKI directly to the amp and was sold on going direct.If yo... 
Audio Aero Capitole Reference / PC - Isolation?
I use a 'Neuance' Board ( no longer made), used it on my MKI,MKII and Prestige.Personally don't fancy the Granite or Marble bases but may work well changing the Black Diamonds with something else or other combinations.Check out "Black Ravioli"Isol... 
Straley speaker cable replacements?
Synergistic 'Tesla' Series. "Accelerator".Like the Straley cables before them , I don't think they'll be changed for a long while.Easily worth the money.Peterd.
