| Lamm 1.1 w/ FIM cables A buddy of mine runs an all-out FIM cable system on his Lamm 2.1/Avalon/Wadia components with remarkable results. A layering, depth of soundstage, and removal of grain not previously heard with other wire. I have begun to convert to FIMs with CAT ... | |
| Outletts?FIM I installed two FIM outlets about 3 months ago. Most of my components are power cabled with FIMs, as well. Initially, I thought I had attained too much of a good thing, but with proper break-in these outlets seem to perform quite well. A/Bing is o... | |
| Krell KCT vs other top preamps ? I have been a tube preamp owner for over 12 years. Last summer I was fortunate to home audition the KCT preamp and Krell 300 amp, completing the CAST system. Driving Eidelons, these components performed like no other solid state audio playback I h... | |
| SACD vs ANALOG I invited two audio-dry-files to grab a listen to my most enjoyable system. Opened with cd's. They sat. Crouched forward. Looked for something. Politely asked "Where's the body? Where's the bottom end?" It's there You analytical dip. Why don't you... | |
| Jadis Fidelity I have not owned ARC, but through demos and auditions at audio shops, my impression of the VT 100 and Ref preamp were not satisfying. A bit more analytical or solid- state sounding. Odd, how some manufacturers of tube equipment strive to attain at... | |
| Jadis Fidelity I Have owned a JP80mc preamp for nearly 6 years. Oldest component I own. I have considered change or upgrade. Maybe something new with different signature. More bottom end. Who knows. But, fortunately I have retained this fantastic piece with no r... | |
| Where is the best place to buy SACD Music Direct has a very good selection and I believe the prices are better than Chad's. | |
| Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever toss-up between Patti Smith and the early days of Donny Osmond. This is a tough and most provocative thread. thanks. | |
| Has anyone heard Billy Holiday on SACD? found it to be a disappointment. I'm not sure if re-mixing has anything to do with the poor sound quality. The album itself is not really representative of Ms. Holiday. Her voice sounds raspy and all smoked out. | |
| Sony sacd "custom setting" Not understanding the physics involved, does anyone out there comprehend the theory behind the potential perils lurking within the Sony deck? It seems that often components carry different frequency outputs, among other ratings, yet present no pra... | |
| The Beatles Thanks, Tubegroover. Stones, with Jimmy Miller producing avec Brian Jones, consisitently delivered authoritative, rock driven, penetrative licks. They lost me after Exile. | |
| The Beatles Beatles a rock n' roll band? Who says. Pop by all definitions. Like Goodman, Kenton, Ellington, Sinatra, and Gilligan. Prolific masters within their genre. But, for bloody sakes, give the boys credit for the expansion of mega-stardom into creativi... | |
| DO AUDIOPHILES EVER LISTEN TO MUSIC? The most remarkably invective habit I had developed over the several years of critical listening was assessing the quality of sound during live performances. Sitting in a symphony hall or enjoying a festival band, processing the depth of bass. Eve... | |
| MISSING THE POINT? Somehow music, like cinema, has limited new offerings worthy of delving into. Exceptions, fortunately, exist. I purchase excessive amounts of cds and vinyl, often used, and usually too often. Of new release, I enjoy PJ Harvey´s album, which I foun... | |
| What makes / defines an audiophile ? Stereophile; Absolute Sound; piled up in different rooms. Recognizing audio manufactures from model nos. alone. Example; TNT 3, JP80 MC, VK60, ML-1, etc...... Are the kids in bed yet? Maintaining at least 5 audio sites in "my favorites" on the com... |
