| Audio Cost Allocations The early responses to your questions, which had me in stitches, make a good point. Finding products that work extremely well and, more importantly, extremely well together, is not a numbers game. The idea that you should allocate a certain amount... | |
| Best Used tube Preamp 1700-- 2500: advice needed It seems to me that you are doing this investigation of preamps almost "on paper" rather than going out and listening. I say that your effort should be concentrated in hearing as many of these pre-amps as you can, particularly in your system if po... | |

| Wadia, Audio Aero, Meridian, BAT and BOW Badwisdom:Ou est-ce qu'on trouve a Paris par exemple, le lecteur Audio Aero Capitole? Le pris $3900.00 que vous avez mentionne, est-ce que c'est le pris suggere par le fabricant, ou est-ce-qu'il faut negocier ce pris avec les vendeurs aux magasins... | |
| Help with my University Research Project I reread carefully your last post as well as the original. I am not a physicist or an engineer, but what I gleaned from your more recent post is that you will attempt to show objectively that there are differences in cables along the lines of what... | |
| Thinking of rcprince who works in Manhattan Thanks Rcprince, and all and especially John_l to whom I sent a private email. I am well and, like Rcprince, work for a Wall Street financial services firm, so I have been very busy. My office is in Jersey City directly across the Hudson River fro... | |
| Help with my University Research Project I wonder how you intend to deal with issues that very much seem to influence our subjective perceptions of cables and electronics, but which are not related to the areas which you intend to study objectively. Two which come to mind are reproductio... | |
| Who knows about ACOUSTIC ZEN? Oh yeah. In my system as well as my friend's we each separately found that the cables introduced a quality which he called excessive "sugar coating" and I called an "overly sweet quality which sounded better than real". I still think the original ... | |
| Who knows about ACOUSTIC ZEN? I have both the Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference and Silver Reference interconnects. They are both good cables. What they both share is a great deal of detail, immediacy and presence. When introduced into the system they do reveal a great deal of low... | |
| Passlabs Aleph 1.2 with CJ Tube 17LS/16LS Preamp Arupg,CAT output impedance is 100 ohms. | |
| Passlabs Aleph 1.2 with CJ Tube 17LS/16LS Preamp My feeling is that all the Nordost interconnects and speaker cables, even Nordost SPM, roll off the deep bass. If you can, set up an audition between SPM and Kimber 4TC which definitely doesn't roll off the deep bass. Nordost SPM has a gorgeous bl... | |
| Passlabs Aleph 1.2 with CJ Tube 17LS/16LS Preamp Hi Arupg,I think the CAT output impedance is around 300 ohms, but I am not sure that I remember correctly. Since I am at work, I'll have to go home to check. If that is the impedance, it shouldn't be a mismatch. Nevertheless, unfortunately sonical... | |
| Passlabs Aleph 1.2 with CJ Tube 17LS/16LS Preamp Arupg,I have a friend who biwires his Kimber Select 3033 from his Aleph 4 to his Vandersteen 3. He uses KS 3033 on the treble and Kimber 4TC on the bass. His preamp is Audible Illusions Modulus 3 (not 3A) and his source is Micromega transport and ... | |
| 25 foot bi-wire speaker cables that won't bust the bank? Rather than Kimber 8TC, I would recommend Kimber 4TC. I have had both, and found the Kimber 4TC to be much better balanced. Kimber 4TC has much too much bass in my system. These cables are an excellent budget buy and will not degrade even a very q... | |
| dcs sound Thanks Slingmeister, I had the Audiomeca Enkianthus DAC which was sweet, airy amd laid out an excellent soundstage. However, I found it just a little soft-sounding. Some have said that the Audio Aero gives a little bit more in the dynamics dept. E... |
