| What cable caused you to become a cable "junkie" ? When I doubled the speaker cable run to my car speakers and there was twice as much bass back in 1980also...When I replaced my Kimber 8TC with Nordost Blue Heaven and noticed much more nuance and detail, though noticed the thin midrange later and ... | |
| Plinius or YBA? I own the Plinius 8200 MKII integrated and I really like it however I feel it is slightly warm in character and so are the AZ cables as the Jupiter may well be, so you may want to consider if it would be too warm for your tastes.I do not want to d... | |
| Peter Gabriel....Bad sounding CD's......groan..... Favorite Peter Gabriel CDs anyone?I like stuff on the fringe, King Crimson, Portishead etc... and wonder what Gabriel stuff may compare.thanksPhil | |
| Best $8000 stereo system- used An all Quad system would be really good, 988 speakers, 99 pre, 909 power and 99 CDP IMHO | |
| Placement of Magnepan 1.6's or 3.6's TconnyI replaced my Maggie 1.6's with Trente's in my 13 x 22 living room (sitting about 6ft out from the 13 foot wall and 6ft apart) and have not looked back. After having Quad 57 for 10 years and then the Maggies I do not miss the panel sound, th... | |
| Audience AU24 vs Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference I have listened to the Audience AU24 IC in my system for 3 days now and can say they have quite a bit more detail and nuance than AZ Mat Ref MKII. Also the tonal balance is much more to my liking and seems to favor no particular region where the A... | |
| Best Joni Mitchel Album Ditto: Blue and Court and Spark also a personal favorite is Ladies of the Canyon which is very simple and quiet with thoughtful little melodies, a real gem IMO. I remember TAS liking Wild Things Run Fast for the music and sound quality but probabl... | |
| Speaker wire, help my laid back sound?? My first thought was the Harm Tech was laid back, I think the Alpha Core is lively.My Harm Tech comment is based on having owned Acoustic Zen and having read they have very similar sound as both were designed by Robert Lee. | |
| Audience AU24 vs Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference WRPThank you for your input, between your reply, rereading Gunbei's response and correspondence with someone else I feel the Audience may be the way to go as my impression is that it has less bass and favors the midrange. Anyway I am buying the Au... | |
| Audience AU24 vs Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference DeanYour review has been very helpful to me as I am believer in the 'house sound'. I think the Audience may be more to my liking as far as the more immediate presentation but, the part about not hearing the cymbol shimmer like the Hologram has me ... | |
| Biwiring B&W Matrix 802 III with Kimber 8TC & 4TC I would sell the 8TC and buy a better wire (like AZ Satori) and run it single for about the same money as the 2 you mention, which are a little thin sounding for my tastes. | |
| Best solid state power amp for $1k Plinius 8200P | |
| Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun problems with B&W N801 We tried my Satoris on a friends system with 803s and a Levinson 383 and Electrocompaniet CD player and it sounded very good, no problems at all.It seems to me it would be a good wire for B&Ws as their tweeter is considered bright by some (not... | |
| sonic signiture of accoustic zen satori I had the Satori single run with my Maggie 1.6s and liked them very much but I would classify them as slightly warm in the bass dept with especially good tone in the mids and highs. They have a nice sense of focus and PRAT and soundstage as well. ... | |
| Audible Illusions vs. Audio Research? I have read horror stories about the Audible Illusions service department, which should also be a consideration. It is a shame as for years I have read about the virtues of this pre amp.You may want to try a Rogue 99 Magnum which has a remote cont... |
