| Modern Shahinian Obelisk "I'm curious if when comparing Ohm and Shahinian if you found that each sounded best in a different location?"To be sure. But the differing physical configurations made direct comparison a bit more complex. The Hawks are modular, with a large bass... | |
| Modern Shahinian Obelisk I own a pair of Hawks and would be more than happy to entertain folks at my home in Marin County, CA for an audition.All invited. Just send me an email and we can make arrangements.Also, I had a pair of Ohm Walsh 200s a few years ago. My Shahinian... | |

Once I noticed that the system sounded 'better' when I switched around some particular cables . Then I noticed it sounded better again when I returned t... | |
| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it Schubert (are you Death or are you The Maiden?) if your stereo 'seems' louder when it is dark in the room, surely you can see that as evidence that non-acoustic factors can seriously affect our auditory perceptions. That alone should make you at l... | |
| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it This is a response to the original question.I have done the following with a friend a few times and afterward we both felt we had learned a great deal:Using my system (at a retail cost of $30k it's probably at least adequate for this experiment) w... | |

| Favorite Verdi's Requiem? My own fave rave Verdi Requiem is the old Reiner/Price lp, available in various pressings and, I'm sure, on cd, too. I feel that , maybe not uniquely among all the various recorded interpretations, but powerfully, Reiner approaches the Requiem as ... | |
| Maggie MMG versus Ls3/5a 30 years ago (so take this for what it's worth) I wandered into a showroom intending to audition and probably buy a pair of Rogers LS3/5a. I listen primarily to orchestral music and value the sweet reproduction of acoustic instruments --and voices... | |
| Silicone fluid for Moerch tonearm damping? I fear this suggestion is a bit old fashioned but I find the technique works pretty well most of the time.Use your phone. Seven seven three/ seven ought six/nine seven zero five. | |
| Is there a glass ceiling for cable technology?? "There's a well-heeled sucker born every minute."Many of these suckers are "audiophiles." | |
| Silicone fluid for Moerch tonearm damping? "Hors de combat" is French for "out of the battle." | |
| Silicone fluid for Moerch tonearm damping? I believe Hudson Audio has been hors de combat for a few years.Sora Sound is the one. | |
| Silicone fluid for Moerch tonearm damping? Do not despair.In my experience, Mehran has been cooperative and responsive.If Mehran says he is in Belgium, odds are that's where he is.If you persist, I am sure you will be able to get the Moerch fluid complete with dispenser from Sora Sound. | |
