| Best digital cable to audition? Warjarret,I'm in 100% agreement with your post.Dazzdax,There are better digital cables than the Stealth Varidig Sextet although IMO it is an excellent cable. I have tried the best Kharma and Siltech digital cables but settled on the Virtual Dynami... | |
| What's your favorite remake of a song Shirelles - "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" by Carole KingAretha Franklin - "Natural Woman" by Carole KingNatalie Merchant - "Because the Night" by Patti Smith and Bruce SpringsteenI'm sure there are many others but these 3 came to mind first. | |
| E.A.R. Acute Reliability PS: I think the EAR Acute starts life as an Arcam CD36 CDP. Supposedly transport, display and DAC chips straight from CD36, all else changed by EAR. Of course I stand to be corrected if wrong but I remember reading this, perhaps in a review. | |
| E.A.R. Acute Reliability I've owned one for about 6 months, no issues with the transport. Should be easy to replace if something does go wrong though, same as the Arcam.As far as sonics, with the right tubes (I'm using 2 1960s Seimens CCAs), sounds great. | |
| Review: Wadia 581i CD Player I agree with Mtdking, Wadias do sound better through their balanced outputs. Also, IMO Kimber silver cables are not sympathetic with Wadias.Had you used the balanced Acrolinks with the Wadia I suspect the outcome of your test would have been diffe... | |
| Anyone heard a K2 HD CD yet? Another one bites the dust? | |
| Feds to audiophiles: You're all pirates now Aaargh matey! And I be drink'n rum while I be do'n it, burn'n CDs on a dead mans chest! Hang me from the yard arm!!! | |
| Springsteen's "Magic" on vinyl, opinions? Bottom line, very few of his albums sound good. | |
| Audio Tweak gone bad...similar experiences? I'm wondering why no one has touted the benefit of a bowl of linguine placed right above the amp transformer? Seems to absorb spurious electrical charges until the mold sets in. And no, rigatoni does not work as well! The sauce does matter though.... | |
| How international is your system? Things change!Transport, DAC, Amp, Speakers, ICs, SCs, 1 PC-USA; PLC, 3-PCs-Canada; CDP-UK | |
| Review: Lessloss Lessloss Filtering Power Cord Power cord Phillyb,Thanks for the review of these cords. That's 4 positive reviews here on the 'gon. I think I'm going to give them a shot! | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all Brizon,If what you say is true, I would think that you have your system wired with the absolutely cheapest cabling. If you are not using the absolutely cheapest cables why not since they all sound the same? What cables are you using? | |
| Stereophile or Absolute Sound IMO: TAS reviews seem to be getting superficial (wham, bam, thank you maam) while Stereophile seems to be sticking to more in depth reviewing. I must admit though that I usually read music reviews first and equipment reviews as time allows. I also... | |
| crass to ask for feedback after a transaction? I have left feedback for every Audiogon transaction I've been involved in. There are those who will not reciprocate no matter what you do. I will not do repeat business with someone who refuses to leave feedback. Simple as that! | |
| your favorite michael brecker recording? Not an album but a cut from Methenys 80/81, Everyday (I thank you). In the liner notes of the ECM Rarem CD, Metheny relates how Michael Brecker felt that recording that tune changed his life and affected everything he did after. |
