| Purist Audio Dominus, Worth it? I owned Dominus speaker cables for about 3 1/2 years; prior to an upgrade from Collosus and then Proteus. This was speaker cable only, mind you, but the improvements were not small, and well worth it. Fortunately, I was able to take advantage of a... | |
| Avalon speakers,redux A bit confused, Shubertmaniac. I see three listings for Eidelons on Audiogon, two of which are demo sales and one appears to be the liquidation of an entire system. I located none on Audioweb. Where are you finding these Eidelons? Four Audiogon li... | |
| Tale of the preamps John,Thanks for the website info. I intend to contact them this weekend. The majority of my listening is vinyl, thus the need for a quality phono stage.I have little experience with ss pre's other than at audio shops. Detail in spades, but often o... | |
| Tale of the preamps I had my friend, with the Atma-spheres drop by tonight. We listened and found the force...or better stated, the solidity, especially in the upper bass through midrange, more pronounced with the CAT/Jadis. In iteration, the definition and articulat... | |
| Tale of the preamps HI Rcprince,Thanks for input. I have read the opinions of others with similar experience when the Jadis is modified. When I spoke to Andy he expressed his admiration with this piece, but added the changes were neccessary to attain a clearer, less ... | |
| what is it like to mix tube and solid.. I used to drive my system with a Classe 300 amp with Jadis tube pre up front. The mix was unexpectedly successful. Great slam and speed with a bit of added imaging and airiness. A friend also enjoyed a CAT pre with a solid state amp ( don't recall... | |
| Experience with Aerial models 6 or 7b Hi No Money,I have owned both the 6 and 7B; both driven by a Classe 300. I had downsized my system and attempted to combine the listening space with a rec-room for the kids. This forced a need to place the speakers nearer to the front wall than I ... | |
| CAT Preamps are Great / Amps are Not? My ownership of the JL1 LE amp has changed my appreciation towards "hi-fi" listening experiences. I have been fortunate to own or home audition many amps; some solid state, but mostly tube. Jadis, Conrad Johnson, Lamm, Lectron, Krell, Classe, Mcin... | |
| What Are Your Audio Morals? I have struggled with this issue of auditionong equipment knowing a sale was at best dubious. In my area we have few high-end shops; coupled with the advent of used product availability over the net, I find it remarkable that dealers retain open d... | |
| My Poop theory by kublakhan I have yet to meet anyone categorically obssessed with this stuff not occassionally dis-satisfied with the crappy sound projecting from, what just days earlier was believed the "ultimate". Four nights ago I replaced the tubes in my line stage, dis... | |
| Any experience with room correction ? Thanks Abstract,As with all component additions, the actual benefits or declination within the system, may only be realized with the the piece in line. All else is theory. The possibility of adding an analog design does ique my interest. If you ar... | |
| Sell King Cobra s and buy F I M Gold ? Just a little follow-up-thought. No opinions on these threads bear any importance, unless you create the opportunity to hear, not only cables, but any component in your system. My cables may synergize beautifully in my room with my components, but... | |
| Sell King Cobra s and buy F I M Gold ? I have not sampled the well-touted King Cobras, but many other reputable cords, including Electraglide Fat Boys have spent time in my system. They have all, save two been replaced by FIM's. I find these rather stiff pieces of cable to improve virt... | |
| SCD-1 can be purchased at 2850 new. Topkat, Have you heard both units, and if so, in comparable seetings and to what extent? Was the better sound apparent in both SACD and conventional playback?Thanks, Steve | |
| Is there an SACD that can play cds well? I also listen mainly to vinyl, but I have nearly 1200 cds and 30 sacds. So, when digital spins I prefer to get the best this system can give . Prior to a demo of the Sony SCD-1, I drove a Sony DVD S7000, d/a Timbre Tech, with much satisfaction. Th... |
