| The most haunting music you ever heard? ... by Blind Willie Johnson, (which, incidentally, is one of the musical selections recorded onto the Voyager Golden Record). | |
| Cables for Merlin VSM-MXe speakers I highly recommnend the use of Purist Cables with the Merlin VSMs - particularly the Aqueous Annniversary (although I am pretty sure Dominus would also work well, if you have the $$$). In my system, it outperformed, among others, Cardas Golden Ref... | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? Pubul57,I too use CAT amps (JL-1s), and had used them with active preamps such as the Thor TA-2000, the BAT VK-5i, and the CAT SL-1 Signature. (I also own Merlin VSM-Ms, so I am pretty familiar with your equipment). I switched to passives maybe fo... | |
| Best rock song of all times with a distant second place to Baba O'Riley by the Who | |
| CJ vs. BAT vs. THOR preamps, who's best? I am not sure I can add much more to the above posts (particularly jmcgrogan's), except that I've owned both the BAT Vk-5i and the Thor TA-2000. To give you an idea of my sonic biases, I preferred the Thor over the VK-5i in all categories (e.g., t... | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? Jafox,I certainly agree with you about the CAT amps and resolution - they are among the finest resolvers of low level detail I have experienced in my system. However, it looks like we are talking past each other here. Yin and yang in my understand... | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? There really do appear to be some divergent opinions on the Aqueous Anniversary cable. I demo'ed the Aqueous Anniversary speaker cable, and in my current system it easily outperformed cables such as Cardas Golden Reference, Wireworld Gold Eclipse ... | |
| Undiscovered blues gems..... As far as more recent recommendations, if you are into the mouth harp, William Clarke was a fantastic harmonica player on the LA circuit (who unfortunately passed away somewhat recently). In particular, I recommend Serious Intentions and Blowin Li... | |
| Dealers near Princeton, NJ Savant Audio is in Princeton Junction, NJ - they have an amazing list of equipment, and I have ordered from them in the past, but I've never actually been in the store.http://www.savantaudio.comAlso, if you have any interest in vinyl whatsoever, a... | |
| Verdier Graham and Shelter??? Hi Tenmus,One of the advantages of the Verdier, I have found, is that it works well with just about every tonearm with which you might want to pair it. For example, I have had success with the VPI JMW-12, SPJ La Luce, and Graham 1.5t. [FYI - I am ... | |
| turntable mat : boston mat, audioquest sorbogel ma I have experience using both mats listed in your inquiry on three turntables: Oracle Delphi Mk II, Goldmund Studio, and Verdier La Platine. I found the Boston Audio mat to be superior in practically all respects. (As a caveat, I am not a particula... | |
| Genesis 201 vs Wilson Maxx Series 2 ?? In the interests of full disclosure, I have previously owned Watt Puppy 3/2's, Genesis V's, and Genesis 300's. With that said, I have auditioned both the Genesis 200 (not the 201) and the Wilson Maxx Series 1 (not 2). I concur with some of the pos... | |
| EMM Lab DCC2 & CDSD Better connection? I just received a response from Aural Symphonics, who indicated that the Optimism for EMM Labs gear will be released in December (in time for January CES). | |
| CAT Preamps vs Amps I am one of those CAT amp owners (JL-1s) that tried using a CAT preamp, but went in a different direction. In my experience, I found that the CAT preamps prior to the Ultimate (which I have not heard in my system), were not the equal of the amps. ... | |
| Goldmund Studio-still one of the best? Hi Ziva,I actually own a Studio, and use it as a backup turntable (my main table is a Verdier). First, for a used Studio, 3500 Euros is overpriced - many other used turntables would be preferable, including VPI Aries, Townsend Rock Reference - hec... |
