| Cary SLI 80 Signature Upgrade? I would suggest that you explore other alternative brands of caps. Cardas is a good name, but they are not one of the current top ten favorites for this. Check the forums for a lot of information and opinions. In particular, member Volleyguy has a... | |
| Comparing Receptacles I would suggest that you try the Afterburner 8 receptacle. Not much to lose for $60.00. I have not tried any other aftermarket receptacles, but I love this one, and am not aware of any weaknesses. It seems to impart more "drive" to the music. | |
| High End Novum PMR Premium MKII I'll bet that it actually works through some form of excited resonance, but the price seems really absurd. Every time I see it, I want to go take one of my drum cymbals and experiment with it. | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Charles,The amp comes standard with Mundorf silvers I think, and I was underwhelmed when I used them some years ago to upgrade the crossovers in a pair Spendor 9/1 speakers. I have since realized through reading a lot of user feedback that they ar... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Al,That's a beautiful song, and I had never heard it before. Thanks.Coincidentally, earlier in this thread, I chose "Today" by Jefferson Airplane as one of the most beautiful love songs I know. I don't know if you are familiar with it.http://www.y... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Charles,I think it is one of the positive aspects of growing older and maturing. You come to know what you need and love from inside, and you stop seeking the affirmation as you said, from others. I still have desires for further refinements to my... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Charles,Well stated. I am as guilty as anyone else at times of agonizing about the validity of differences I perceive when I make a change in the system, but I have felt that way less and less in the last couple of years. I usually trust my own ea... | |
| Telefunken Black Diamond E88CC / 6922 Noromance,Not a problem. It's easy to misread things. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Grannyring,Good points. Besides that, buying "better kit" as we all know by now, does not guarantee that all of the parts are the best that they can be. | |
| johnny winters r.i.p Number 63. That's how much the writers at Rolling Stone know. The awards were nice, but he transcended all of that. A humble man with an inspired gift. | |
| Legendary Johnny Winter Dies at 70 He was an amazing artist that had a natural command of his instrument. I was priveledged to see him play twice in person, and have enjoyed his recorded material for many years. It is sad to realize how many people of a wide span of ages don't even... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers P59teitel,You won't be disappointed. It is one thing to read about the positive differences that others have experienced, but it's a whole different thing when you experience it in your own system. | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store This thread has certainly gone to some strange and unpleasant places. I just wanted to make one more post, several days late, to clarify my position. To begin with, I actually do enjoy my job, which is to serve customers in a friendly and professi... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Bo1972,"I didn't buy the Ultra SS for the looks. I bought them first because I love the extra quality they can give."That contradicts what you have said previously. And how do you know what extra quality they give unless you have tried their compe... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Tbg,"Roxy54, the brass surface on the Audio Points is very important".Of course it is, I was just being sarcastic. |
