| Review: Kubala-Sosna Emotion Interconnects Interconnect Rgs, how long did it take for the break-in? I've been listening to the speaker cables this past weekend and have heard definite plusses with a few minuses (none of which would bother the music-lover side of me), and am breaking in the interconnect... | |
| Thiel 3.5 verses Thiel 2 2 David: After looking at your ad, I would not think that the 2 2s (I should not have said 2.2, as Bose sued Thiel over that "point" between the 2s and got Thiel to change the name--sorry, Bose, it won't happen again) would be a substantial improvem... | |
| Thiel 3.5 verses Thiel 2 2 It's been a long time since I compared them, but my failing memory is that the 2.2 was the *overall* better speaker by a small margin. The 3.5 had better bass extension, but it did so by means of an equalizer that somewhat compromised the bass qua... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Yeah, I know, sorry about that, Joe, I should have waited for you, but with all the remodeling jobs I've done and am doing to my house I needed the money, and my wife felt that the art deco look of those amps was nice but not suitable on her livin... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I thought my Jadis JA80s would be the ones, but since I just sold them I didn't keep them for life, so they're disqualified. Perhaps my current Lamm ML-1s, though I still lust for the Siltech monos I heard earlier this year. Now they would be the ... | |
| Kubala-Sosna cables? I'm listening to them in my system this weekend. I'll see if I can give any thoughts on them. Nicely made, I can say that. The speaker cable seems to have a build similar to my NBS Omega interconnects. | |
| Source to purchase SACD Also try Elusive Disc and Music Direct (which is www.amusicdirect.com). | |
| To DAC or not to DAC Sidssp is correct. I agree with Michael, you could borrow a digital cable from a friend and compare them both, see which one sounds better to you. Very easy to do and completely reversible. I would be surprised if the difference between the Theta ... | |
| Mahler's Resurrection, Gilbert Kaplan/VPO recordin Gaudio, that's great news! I had assumed the 5th would be next, as the SFO was touring playing that piece earlier this year. Any report on their performances of the 5th in Davies? | |
| Why haven't we heard more about HR-X??? Hey Rick, come to Sunday's meeting and ask Harry yourself!!! | |
| Mahler's Resurrection, Gilbert Kaplan/VPO recordin I have the recording, wasn't enthralled by it the first time around, but need to listen to it again at a louder volume (as any Mahler needs) before I can really say anything definitive. Interpretively it is very similar to his first recording, tho... | |
| Poor man's reference DAC Bryanhod: As a long-time owner of the Audio Logic, I'll fifth it. The strengths of the Audio Logic are a very natural presentation of the performance and dynamics, reproduction of timbre, non-fatiguing sound, excellent three-dimensional soundstagi... | |
| transport help At that price, you might try a CEC TL-2 transport or perhaps its Parasound equivalent; if you could stretch your budget to afford a used CEC TL-1X, it might be worth it. CEC and Forsell transports seem to work very well with the Audio Logic. My So... | |
| Take a massage:... That's what the Arcici Airhead, the Seismic Sink and the Vibraplane are all about, as well as a homemade platform using silicone-filled inner tubes in a sand/lead base I've seen. Depending on the type of table and if it has a suspension or not, it... | |
| hearing everything from your vandy 5a`s If you like organ recordings, the Reference Recordings "Felix Hell-Organ Sensation" CD will give you every octave, including notes in the 32 foot stops (20hz range). There are a lot of organ recordings with deep bass, check the archives for one fr... |
