| Power Snake Mamba vs. Synergistic Master I've been auditioning the Black Mamba on my Meridian 508.24 CD player. It replaces the Synergistic Research Master AC Coupler (which is a great power cord). I needed to make a decision today, because the auditioned Black Mambas are due back this w... | |

| Anybody knows about NBS cables? I was auditioning three different XLR and one RCA interconnects, Silver Hyacinths, Harmonic Tech. Pro Silways, NBS Monitor IV and JPS Superconductor 2 (RCA) . My system (Audio Research CD-2, Audio Research LS-16, Plinius 100 MKIII and NHT 2.5i spe... | |
| Auric Illuminator Kit When I first upgraded to a higher-end system, I heard how unforgiving it was of poorly recorded cd's (mostly rock). I tried the Auric Illuminator (AI) and it definately improved the sound. Quietier background and smoothed out the rough edges in th... | |
| Opinions on Silver Audio Hyacinths? Thanks to Wen-Li at eAudionet.com I auditioned the Silver Audio Hyacinths, Harmonic Tech. Pro Silway II and the new NBS Monitor IV. They were all XLR's and used on the following: Audio Research LS-16 pre, Audio Research CD-2 and Plinius SA100 MK I... | |

| Best Full Range Speakers @ Around $2000? I love my NHT 2.5i speakers. You need at least 100wpc amp to run them, but they are very revealing. I listened to Vandersteen 3a, maggies 1.6 and numerous other $2,000+ speakers. When I come home and listen to the NHT 2.5i's I sit back and smile. ... | |
| NBS MONITOR IV vs III INTERCONNECT Thanks Snowok. I'm using AR CD-2, AR LS 16, Plinius SA100 MKIII, with NHT 2.5i speakers. I currently using JPS Superconductor 2 RCA interconnects and JPS Superconductor speaker cables. I wanted to switch to "balanced" ic's for both the CD-2 and th... | |
| NBS MONITOR IV vs III INTERCONNECT I'm considering buying NBS Monitor IV Balanced interconnects. How'd you like them? I'll be auditioning them against Harmonic Technology Pro Silway MKII's and Silver Audio Hyacinth Pro Balanced. Have you tried any of these in comparison to the NBS? | |
| NHT SuperOnes I've used them for my home theater rear speakers and they were excellent. I recently switched from home theater to stereo and have them for sale. They're the SuperOne XU (with removable wall bracket) I also have nice telescoping stands for them. | |
| Levinson vs Threshold vs Plinius vs Bry I have the Plinius SA100 MKIII matched with my Audio Research LS-16 tube pre-amp using NHT 2.5i speakers. I tried the Bryston and felt the bass was a little too boomy and not very articulate on some tracks. Also the high-end was a tad bright. The ... | |
| Amp suggestions for Audio Research LS-16 Abruce- The Plinius SA100 MKIII sounds incredible. I was listening to Vivaldi's Four Seasons and never notice the harpsichord before. Also on Clapton's Unplugged he uses a mandolin on one of the tracks that I never noticed before. Great amp! Seems... | |
| JPS Labs versus Audio Quest (Megasam?) I can only compare them to various models of Transparent cables and interconnects. I was disappointed with Transparent's Music Wave, Music Wave Plus but thought that the Music Wave Super were pretty good. Then I tried JPS Superconductor+ speaker c... | |
| Digital Coaxial Cable 75 ohms choices I've used the Transparent Premium Digiatl Link coaxial for over 6 months. The sound really improved after I first installed it and let it burn-in for about a week. Wider soundstage, quieter background, and heard sounds on my cd's that I never hear... | |
| Amp suggestions for Audio Research LS-16 Thanks for all your help. I came across a Plinius SA100 MkIII and decided to give it a try. Should be a good combination. |
