| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Since this thread just keeps on going, here's an update to my 10/6/00 posting: pre-amp is now Levinson #32, cables have been changed to Transparent Reference XL, and I've added the Argent Room Lenses. Each of these items made a considerable improv... | |
| Absolute Best power amp, tube ss I'll agree with the Lamm ML2 for tubes. Best SS I've heard is the Mark Levinson 33. | |
| Holographic Imaging- Cable suggestions? As an update to my previous post, I would also agree with "No money" that there is a definite synergy in the Transparent cables and that they perform at their best when the entire chain is done. | |
| Holographic Imaging- Cable suggestions? Adam, you can try others, but, for my money Transparent beats them all (and I've tried nearly all) in this category as well as a number of others (silent backgrounds, more natural timbres, etc.), and I do NOT feel that high frequency extension is ... | |
| Transparent Cables - Worth the money? I have just completed a transformation of my system to use Reference XL throughout. While I, too, feel that the cost of any of almost any cable out there is suspect, there is simply no denying what you hear. In my experience (and I've tried nearly... | |
| Some cable advice for this system I would go with Transparent. Get the best version you can afford. You won't be sorry. | |
| Changing Amps?? Are you Sure?? Good thread. I can really identify with Audio4fun's comments. I owned the Duntech Sovereigns for 14 years before I let the "bug" get to me and sold them. I have a friend who still owns his Sovereigns and when I hear his system, I realize that, eve... | |
| Argent Roomlens,s ? Steven,Can't seem to find the way to e-mail you. Please provide an address or phone number and I'll contact you tomorrow (3/9).Ronc. | |
| Argent Roomlens,s ? They absolutely do work. I've installed six in my room, although I experimented with placement and ended up with a much different configuration than is suggested by the manufacturer (due, I think to the odd configuration of my listening room itsel... | |
| Why I use to fall into sleep while liste I agree with Detlof. The only time I've fallen asleep is when I was perfectly happy with the system. Listening then becomes so relaxing that you can drop off from time to time. | |
| Do you play? After working for about 20 years as a semi-professional drummer (mostly rock/pop), and "retired" about ten years ago, I still love music and have assembled a system which gets me as close as possible to recreating the emotion of a live event. My m... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? The Dynaudio Evidence. With the proper electronics, cables, etc., these will bring you closer to the live experience than anything else I've heard to date. | |
| Which Solid State amp 2k used? Krell? Try the Crown Macro Reference. At today's used prices, it should just fit your budget. I have owned these and found very few amps, even to this day, that will better it in almost any performance area you care to mention. It has tremendous power (7... | |
| Heaviest Amps ever made. While not the heaviest, the Levinson 33 monoblocks, which I own, are 350 lbs. each (450 lbs. each in crates) Moving these babies around will give you a workout! | |
| Reference CD & DVD Player ? While perhaps not "reference" in CD quality, you will get excellent CD and 96/24 DAD performance, as well as reference quality DVD video performance from the Pioneer DV-09. It is also built like a tank and looks great. |
