| It's a year later... I'm surprised I know the translation--the 24MXL is the current Audio Logic DAC; the Marigo 5.7 (which now has been surpassed, likely, by its 5.8 version) is a digital cable. I personally will be trying out the Kubala-Sosna in a week or two, but ha... | |
| Guitar player? , What model do you own or play? Guild F-212, circa 1969. | |

| Your listening chair With the ottoman, my bet is that the relaxation you get from propping your feet up will give you far more listening pleasure than any theoretical degradation of the sound from the ottoman. A recliner is a different matter, as it will lower your ea... | |
| What sounds more musical than audionote equipment Don't know how it compares to your Audio note system, but Jadis and Lamm equipment have the musicality you describe. | |
| sound sacd discs like dsd Cds? Listening to that particular SACD on my SACD player (a modified Sony SCD 777ES, with an Audio Logic output stage), on both the redbook CD and SACD layers, the redbook is pretty close, but falls a little short in terms of decay of instruments and s... | |
| thoughts on kimber select 2120 ? I've been using the single-ended version of this cable (2020) and the Purist Proteus as my digital cables for many years. I just sold the Purist, as I felt, after it broke in (which was a long time), the Kimber was just slightly better in overall ... | |
| What i/c to use and mix with NBS ? Well, I can add that when I first started the process of replacing the Omega with the Kubala-Sosna, I started with the speaker cables and all NBS in the chain, it worked very well; then replaced the Omega from the crossovers to the amps, then the ... | |
| Classical Recommendation I might add that Uru975's recommendation of trying some symphonic band music is a good one--he's referring to some of the early Telarc recordings which were on vinyl. Reference Recordings had good recordings of the Dallas Symphony's wind ensemble ... | |
| Classical Recommendation Not as much saxaphone in classical music as you'd think. Prokofiev's Lt. Kije Suite (RCA reissue on Classic Records) has a bit of it, as does Gershwin. Also, the first movement of the Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances has a nice saxaphone solo with an... | |
| Classical Recommendation Gershwin's Promenade, which was available on Reference Recordings heavy vinyl along with An American in Paris (Slatkin, St. Louis Symphony, an old Vox recording and a good one). If you want to go into chamber music, you can try the Dvorak and Moza... | |
| What i/c to use and mix with NBS ? I recently used all Kubala Sosna Emotion cables in my system with the exception of a very long run of NBS Omega between my preamp and active crossover. The result was excellent. Ultimately I replaced the NBS run with K-S for a slight overall impro... | |
| dunlavy cable costs Dunlavy speaker cables were reasonably priced when new, maybe $3-400 for a 2-1/2 meter pair (John was quite worked up about cable nonsense, felt that you should measure them at input and output to see what they lost, the less the better). Excellen... | |
| Does LAST Preservative DULL sound? Nice response, Elizabeth. FWIW, from my experience, the stuff works, I recommend it. | |
| Does Lamm L1 sounds as sweet as Lamm LL2 ??? Also, the layers of glass are diffferent thicknesses, in order to have different resonant frequencies (a friend of mine who's an audiophile is in the window business). |
