| Is the Rives Audio Parc an audiophile component The last two points are pretty much correct at pointing out alternatives to the Parc; however, having a much-used analog source, a DSD source and a digital source with a D/A converter that I far prefer over those in other units, I welcome the thou... | |
| Is the Rives Audio Parc an audiophile component Adding to Greg's post, I have a friend who has a system including Dynaudio Evidence Masters, Levinson 33 monos and the Levinson 32 pre and top of the line digital. He can hear every change to a component, cable, power cord, you name it, in that sy... | |
| Best rca digital cable for Audio Logic 24MXL dac? I'm going to probably try the ERS sheet trick. My bet is if you use it to wall off the digital from the analog side it could make a significant difference. Powder, any guidance? | |
| Living Stereo SACD Releases While I agree that the RCAs are quite good (I haven't compared them with the Classic re-issues yet), I echo Gaudio eek's post. I played the Morning Noon and Night in Vienna cut from the Mercury Suppe/Auber Overtures SACD for the NJ Audio Society m... | |
| Guitar playing audiophiles, Martin or Taylor? Agree with all about the personal nature of guitars. As Tom pointed out, even two guitars of the same model from the same manufacturer can sound different from each other (I noticed this when I bought my Guild F-212 years ago, choosing it over a c... | |
| has anyone tryed Ginko Cloud I use them in conjunction with another vibration damping/isolation product, the K-Works IsobaseKs (a product involving innertubes, silicone damping, and sand and lead damping), under my Forsell transport, modded Sony SCD 777ES and Lamm amplifiers.... | |
| Graham IC-50 -vs-IC-70 "shotgun" I agree with sirspeedy, I had the same result when I made the upgrade from the 30 to the 70. It is a superb phono cable. I never got the 50, as I am obsessive compulsive and knew that I would kick myself for getting the 50 when the 70 was out ther... | |
| 6550 to KT88 A-gon member Jfacker recently purchased some EI KT90s from me as well as some Gold Lion KT88s, found different strengths in the two types, and is using both sets depending on the music involved. If he doesn't post here you might want to contact hi... | |
| How do I keep my cats off my amplifier? I suppose you could re-wire the ground from your amp's power supply to electrify the chasis, but then you'd have problems turning the damned thing on and off! I like Sean's idea of the curved cover, a more humane way to do things.Gunbei, who in th... | |
| where to find Pachelbel"s canon? The "audiophile" version of this piece (which includes the Gigue that follows it and brings it out of the elevator to hell mentioned by our two friends who are sick of it (not without good reason)) would be the Reference Recordings Taffelmusik dis... | |
| BAT VK-xx owners: Where do you buy 6c33b tubes? That's a great price, but I would be a little careful. I have Lamm ML-1s which use those tubes, and recently have had problems with one of the amps which required the replacement of the tubes. One of the replacement tubes blew within a week. Appar... | |
| who lives where? Loose: Check out the Where Are U thread, you'll see where a lot of us are. I think they were trying to set a record for most posts with that thread, but the Preamp Deal of the Century thread seems to have an insurmountable lead!On the Unison Resea... | |
| Best rca digital cable for Audio Logic 24MXL dac? Sutts: Kubala-Sosna is the name of the company, they're building a pretty good dealer network, and make a very good line of cables--I've ordered the speaker cables and will likely get the interconnects for some of my components. Link is www.kubala... | |
| Best rca digital cable for Audio Logic 24MXL dac? I've found both the Siltech Golden Ridge and the Purist Proteus work nicely with my AL, as well as the limited edition K-Works digital cable (he's not making many of them). However, you might want to wait for the Kubala-Sosna digital cable to come... | |
| Favorite SACD's All of Fischer's Philips recordings are good--his Dvorak 8 and 9 are excellent. Springbok, that Beethoven 6 even sounded superb on CD, I think it's probably Walter and the music as much as an extraordinarily minimalist (ESPECIALLY for CBS) recordi... |
