| Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording? Karen Carpenter Christmas Album - she has a beautiful voice | |
| I walked into a dealer and got a shock.... I think a dealer will say just about anything, they can not be passive and so sometimes the comments can get pretty lame. "too much electronics for a room that size" is an example. I sold furniture for a few years in the 80s and I found that the s... | |
| Amp for Wilson Sophia The one time I heard Krell with Wilson Maxx 2s I hated itI know it does not answer your question I just can not imagine Krell being much better with the Sophia | |
| Warm Interconnects I second Acoustic Zen cables as being warm - either the Matrix Reference or the WOW series are copper wire and full sounding | |
| Walker Audio- High Definition Links- anyone I recently put Ultimate HDLs on the tweeters and MK III on the woofers of my Audio Note kit 3 (E silver) speakers which are bi wired with Lexus and hooked up to Audio Note Soro SE amp. The improvement is obvious and I agree with others. Layers of ... | |
| Best Preamp $2,000.00 budget the best Audio Note you can afford I imagine would be terrific | |

| an amp without "electronic" sound If Lavardin makes a power amp they might fit the bill. Pass amps are very neutral from what I have heard. Avoiding the 'electronic' sound is the name of the game IMO and what drives us audiophiles to begin with... | |
| Bird York I just bought WLH too and think it is pretty good. Not quite as good as Feist's first album for instance (which I have been listening to lately) but similaar in mood. I prefer Feist's singing and the music is simpler and more fun but Bird York is ... | |
| How do you distribute your $ on cables? in ? I like to use a really nice IC (AN VX $980) from source to my integrated amp. It is cheaper to do than spend it on speaker cables (Lexus bi wire $700) and this way you get the best signal to the amplifier to begin with.I have a VenHaus DIY PC and ... | |
