| 'semi-budget' amps for Platinum Audio Solos This is how upgrade-itis starts, buying one component that needs a better component to sound its best, then continue leap-frogging for years.BTW, find that quality of power is as important as quantity with the Solos. I'm presently using an Aloia i... | |
| alternatives to spikes on wood floors? Another possibility is the Aurios. I'm using these between a granite platform and my Talon Khorus to good effect. Also tried Nordost pulsar points and DH cones, but like the Aurios better. | |
| Have you found cable Nirvana? Tell me about it. With the usual system-dependence disclaimer, I own a couple of your interests. On the IC side, I presently have AZ Silver Ref 1, Audience AU24, Fadel IC15S, Quattro-fil and Argent. In my SS system w/ Talon Khorus/Gamut D200 the Quattros (cryo'd) f... | |
| Got it pared down now - Revel, Dunlavy or Genesis? These are very different speakers and you should listen. I owned Genesis V and Dunlavy Aletha at the same time. The Genesis are a great speaker. I found the Genesis V to throw a deep and layered stage with tons of ambiance and space, but they have... | |
| Standard Def Reception on an HDTV set I have DISH satellite and receiver (non-HD) and a 6 year old RP Sony 53"XBR and a 1 year old Panasonic 32" HD-ready with some kind of built-in line improvement--not really a doubler, but it seems to work well as the picture is much clearer and bet... | |
| What speakers with Aloia power amps? I've heard the Aloias with Piegas and thought they matched very well. Great detail and yet still quite smooth and very natural sounding. I have an Aloia 13.01 inductive and tried it on my Talon Khorus (original model, single wire so can't bi-amp).... | |
| Apogee Duetta Sigs? Help with new amp I owned Duetta Sigs for a few years. Listened to many amps and was quite happy with a Classe 25 but later found an even better match in a pair of Rowland Ones (should be able to find for under $3000 used). These will fit the warmer, sweeter bill a... | |

| Evo 200.2 monos vs. Pass Aleph 1.2 ??? Similar experience with Khorus and Pass Aleph 0 monos vs. BC monos. While the Pass are great amps, I think the BCs are a better match with the Talons (at least w/the original Khorus'). The BCs simply bring them to life better than the Pass. | |
| Power strip manufacturers? I'm using an ESP power distributor with 4 duplexes that I highly recommend you try. Pricey, but comes with an ESP reference power cord. | |
| Sunfire classic tube preamp I used one for a while (now using a Resolution 55 w/ built-in preamp). It's a bit (just a bit) on the warm/rolled off side of things and slightly dark but very musical and pleasant to listen to--makes music sound good. If your system leans toward ... | |
| Is Genesis Out of Business? Just thought I'd add to this thread that I've had favorable dealings on 2 occasions with Genesis (both my fault) with my Genesis speakers. Replacement parts were shipped outquickly and at a reasonable cost, along with e-mail guidance. | |
| Power Cords for Pass Labs Aleph 0 I've used Transparent and BMI Eel cables with good results on the Aleph 0. They fit as-is. Many companies will custom make a cord for you to fit...Synergistic Research offered to do so and I'm sure others will, too. | |
| Wasatch IC s and Speaker cable opinions Have used the 204 XLR (one step down from the 105/205) and was very impressed, especially for the money. Smooth AND transparent. Just switched to Acoustic Zen Silver Ref, though, which is even better, esp at soundstaging (of course it's 3X the pri... |
