| The Unbelievable Sheila Chandra... That wet stuff in your pants isn't "pee" Issabre - otherwise I agree. | |
| Where can I buy Tara labs hook up wire? In case you don't know, I thought I would mention that the inside of components is a very different environment than outside. In my experience, some cables that sound good as interconnects have proved to sound horrid as internal hook-up cable. I w... | |
| SFCD-1 UPGRADES??? I am sure there are other things you can do, but I would not recommend it. Sonic Frontiers is a company that is quite painstaking over component selection (except the horrid valves they use) and you will find it very difficult to identify any sub-... | |
| Congested sound, new speakers? My theory is that the Thiel 1.5s will cause you to head towards more electronic/dynamic music and away from acoustic music, because that is where the 1.5s work best. One thing I would try is changing those cables. The DHLabs are OK for the price b... | |
| Need SS preamp that sounds like tube . I musta bin a bad Audiogon citizen when I made that last post, coz I have negative votes. Having seen the error of my ways and being truly remorseful (but not offering reparations), I will refrain from posting opinions that do not conform to conve... | |
| Cones vs. factory spikes? I have not found any universal rules in this area, and it seems to depend on a number of factors. For example, with the hybrid Logans, rigid coupling to the floor is critical or the bass unit does not integrate at all well with the panel. But with... | |
| Is there an SACD that can play cds well? Many thanks to Albert and others here, for the efforts they have put in to sharing their very valuable insights with these players. I suspect many of us will now be able to act with more confidence on the new SACD players. | |
| Need SS preamp that sounds like tube . I digress, but good to know Ken that I am not the only one to believe that solid state pre with valve power is a better combination than the other way around. The High End took a wrong turn when it went the way of "difficult to drive" speakers, de... | |
| Best Buy Preamp SF 3SE or BAT50SE I find these two to be chalk and cheese. The BAT is a lush tube sound that has a certain seductiveness that many find indispensable (I don't). The SF3 SE is much more neutral overall, but seems to be slightly robbed of life compared with a bypass ... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? G'day Detlof, mate. | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Hi Sean. I am going to make one "picky point", that is meant to add to your post rather than negate it. And that is that I disagree that the techs have to "renounce" or "dismiss" anything except their assumptions. For a true scientist, all you hav... | |
| TEACH ME ABOUT BI-WIRE Sedond and Dekay, I admire your patience with the bullies. When Jostler makes claims that bi-wiring makes no difference, and yet claims the scientific high ground he is being fraudulent - and his band of cohorts have been variously guilty of the s... | |
| TEACH ME ABOUT BI-WIRE So the irrefutable logic of Jostler, Stevemj and 702 wins the day. The only explanation (if we believe Jostler) is that biwiring is beneficial because it deludes audiophiles into enjoying their music more, or is there some mystical unknown (to Jos... | |
| I am stunned Hi Dekay. What I saw was a guy (Liguy as it happens) reporting an experience here. He did not misrepresent it but perhaps he could have been more specific about what he was comparing. The way I saw it was that what he did was no conclusive proof o... | |
| Thiel 3.6 s and amplifier choices You are right Railaudio - the Aragon does sound strained and congested - with a wiriness to voices that is very hard to like. |
