Starting a thread and then disappearing
You raise good points. I've seen debates get heated in other forums as well(human nature being what it is) and I suppose it can be off putting. But to get responses and never show up again is bad etiquette. To copy and paste the same OP on 3 forum... 
A/V reciever advice
I'm not convinced that Denon's quality has gone down, they mostly are made in China these days, but any bugs would be worked out by now. I've got their flagship 4520(made in Japan) and it produces really outstanding sound. I'd go with what you kno... 
Comparing Audioquest cable to Morrow
I've got both Morrow and Audioquest cables. MA-3 for the interconnects, and Audioquest Type 4 for speaker cable. I really like both for what they bring to the final sound.The biggest change for me was tossing my lamp cord speaker cables(12 gauge f... 
Power Amp for Paradigm Reference Studio 100 v2
I currently have a few pairs of Paradigms, though only Signature, Monitor and older Performance series. Arcam is good stuff, and Sony has made some quality cd players over the years.You didn't mention what speaker cables and interconnects you have... 
Any reviews/impressionsons of Ascend Sierra 2?
The Sierra-2's arrived and I'm breaking them in. But right out of the box I'm seriously impressed. As I mentioned they replaced some Paradigm Monitors, but at first I put them side by side with the Signatures using a speaker selector so I could ge... 
Emotiva XDA 1 DAC Any thoughts?
I had the XDA-1 as well. Notice I said had. With the Emotiva cd player and XPA amp, I found the end result harsh and etchy. It was Emotiva's first attempt at a DAC. They claimed it had lossless volume so I bought it to use as a digital pre. Later ... 
is there an audiophile war going on
Zd, good thoughts, I totally agree. 
is there an audiophile war going on
In some of the other forums, there are indeed people that proudly proclaim that all amps sound the same, all cables sound the same, all DACs and anything else have the same sound since they measure flat across the audio frequency range. Everything... 
Any reviews/impressionsons of Ascend Sierra 2?
I've got a pair on the way. I did a fair amount of reading on line and decided at the price(their christmas/clearance sale) I'd turn my Sierra 1 order into a Sierra 2 order. I've only had ribbon tweeters once back in the early 90's but they were n... 
If you have ever bought anything from HSU research
Wow, that's a lot of zeros bud! A few more and I would have doubted myself. Or not. 
If you have ever bought anything from HSU research
Viab, you really gotta get over yourself, you've been on this crusade for 8 months now. You make idiotic statements like saying Hsu would take the parts out of the damaged sub and somehow re-sell. The fact is you have absolutely no idea what they ... 
Beryllium Tweeters
I own a pair of the Signature S6 v2. I never noticed them to be bright until I moved, and got an Emotiva pre to go with the Emotiva amp. It became harsh! I found, after 2 years of experimenting in which I finally started buying used speakers to ge... 
Can Silver Interconnects be bright in your gear
Zyac started this thread and hasn't bothered to respond. He started the same thread here: http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=36329I'm not sure why guys do this, but whatever. 
Receiver recommendation
I concur with the above about avrs quickly getting out of date. The question is, can one be satisfied with being out of date. The sound quality of a system doesn't go down simply because a new codec or system comes out. However, new tech that the ... 
Emotiva Preamp Any good?
Oops, just a little correction. The current best price is for a reconditioned 4520, over 200 less($888) than I paid them for a brand new one of which they still have stock.
