| Help with system overhaul What would you do.... Let me preface my comments with the following: there are no absolutes with audio, one mans/women poison is medicine for someone else. I have done some serious upgrading over the past 2 years. I gone from Audio Physic Virgo IIIs to Wilson Sophia II... | |
| Speaker cables for Wilson Sophia 3 SoundcomponentsI don't agree with your statement that nothing will focus like Transparent. I had a home audition of the most current Transparent Cable(Ultra) and it wasn't even close to being the best cable in my system. I've talked to several peo... | |
| Upgrading from Rega Apollo KbarkamianOn a side note, the old distributor was Frank Huang and I agree that he is a great guy. With the exception of the Rega Apollo, I have purchased everything from him for just under 20 years. Frank and I have a great relationship and I trus... | |
| Upgrading from Rega Apollo BrownsfanI looked into the Modwright Sony 5400, but it looks like I can only purchase it direct. Do you know if they offer a home trail?KbarkamianI've read goods things about the Bryston's BCD-1. I believe they have a local dealer here and I will ... | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? I love Contemporary/Smooth Jazz. I listen to Oli Silk, Najee, Boney James,Everette Harp, Euge Groove, and a host of others. My problem is that more often than not the recordings suck! | |
| Transparent cables with Thiel speakers I compared Transparent Audio cables to several others at home in the following system: Wilson Audio Sophia IIIs, Densen B350 mono-amps, B250 preamp, Rega Apollo as source. Based on my observations I just don't understand why so many Wilson owners ... | |
| Wilson Audio paint problems TmsoroskOne persons medicine is anothers poison. Wilsons aren't for everyone, but saying that you will avoid them at all cost implies that something is drastically wrong with them. I don't know why people degrade companies on Audiogon that they ... | |
| Speakers that excel at depth/layering/space I think were missing it, because were not just listening to speakers. Sure some speakers are more capable than others, but! As I have auditioned different amps, preamps, and cables I have been amazed at how each of them has affected the soundstag... | |
| Wilson Audio paint problems Budt,They really did, because I was having problems getting the local dealer to let me evaluate the cables at home.Stringreen,Wilson Audio paint problems had nothing to do with shipping. They had a bad batch of glue that was causing problems. I kn... | |
| Wilson Audio paint problems Wilson Audio customer service is outstanding! I've owned Sophia 2s and now Sophia 3s and I couldn't be happier with the built quality, sound, and outstanding support I receive from Wilson. Recently, Wilson put me in touch with a cable manufacture ... | |
| Should I end my search What I've learned over the past few weeks evaluating cables. There are very significant differences between inter-connect and speaker cables. I was actually amazed how some cables totally collapsed the soundstage and rolled off the highs. In this ... | |
| Should I end my search Rodman99999Thanks for the great feedback. This is exactly the type of discussion I was looking for and I appreciate it. I already have Shunyata Power cords for preamp and source. I have PS Audio power cords for my amps. I will look into Synergisti... | |
| Should I end my search Fla,I know I won’t return to Kimber Hero. I have listened to music all day and it sounds more natural than ever before. Detailed, but not as bright as with the other cables, very smooth sounding. Now I understand what people mean when they say mus... | |
| Should I end my search JazdocThe best advice ever on Audiogon! I am happy, just trying to tweak my system.MechansOne gift that I have is to be able to listen and learn from others, but make my own decisions. I have never bought anything based on recommendations or befor... | |
| Should I end my search FactenI already sold the Clear Day and Kimber cables; therefore I can't isolate where the improvement is coming from. Once I heard there was a significant enough of a difference in my system with the new cables, I knew I had to change. The questio... |
