| Ok, Here s the list of speaker cables.. It seems most of the talk on Analysis Plus speaker cables is always on the Oval 9s. I found the Oval 12s to be superior in my system (Art Audio SET amp and high-sensitivity dynamic speakers). The only way to know is to try 'em. But be careful with... | |
| Need Advice on stand mounted speakers The JM Reynaud Trente monitors are pretty cool, $2400, rave review in June 'Listener'...jm-reynaud.com, oss.audio.com. Coincident has a new Partial Eclipse floorstander, 8x10x37", derived from the Super Eclipse, that seems very promising...coincid... | |
| vac or art audio Be careful with the Art Audio Diavolo vs. Jota. Similar sound, maybe, but not the same. The Diavolo is more harmonically full and musically appealing. I love it! But the Jota has that extra power increment, if you have to have it. | |
| Bel Canto DAC vs. Perpetual Tech P3A? Any experience with the Millenium DAC from Electro Visionary Systems (EVS)?? Check tweakaudio.com (mfr. site) and audioreview.com for RAVE reviews. The brand new upgraded model at $850 is due out in a couple of weeks. Looks very interesting!! | |
| Inexpensive CD Transport From ticklers on other threads, I looked into the products of Electro Visionary Systems (EVS) @ tweakaudio.com. It looks like this guy's products are VERY highly regarded -- check audioreview.com. One of his products is a Sony CD player modified t... | |
| integrated tube amp for $1000.00 clams Antique Sound Lab is an interesting possibility. Chinese made, they offer 4 amps between $600 and $1100, and on up to $3000. Check divertech.com, which distributes several pretty good products. I don't have experience with them, but saw/heard at a... | |
| Best small/monitor/bookshelf speakers? Soliloquy makes a Sat 5, $600, same construction and drivers as their upscale models, premier veneer finishes, about 6" square and 12" tall. No port, so it's good for shelves and tables. The sound is excellent, and they soundstage like bandits. As... | |
| ~$1k Monitors...So Many Choices... The Reynaud Twin MkII really is outstanding. It won the under-$750 shootout in Listener mag in the previous issue. You say you want detail and the ability of the speakers to disappear. The Twin will deliver big time, and particularly has an organi... | |
| PS Audio or Richard Grey power Co. Shunyata (Power Snakes) has a new line conditioner that will start shipping in a couple of weeks. I have P300 and two Richard Gray units. Power Snakes AC cords are incredibly good, and I would give the strongest recommendation to wait for the Hydr... | |
| Best DAC Under $5000 - Opinions Please There's a super-rave review of the updated Dodson DAC in the current issue of Ultimate Audio. Seems spendy, though. | |
| Top Ten Tube Amps of All Time? I guess "all time" includes now. There's one amp that I believe stands head and shoulders above the crowd...the Art Audio Diavolo. This is the one that sounds like music. Single-ended, yes. Dynamic, extended, coherent, palpable, resolving, true, t... | |
| Legend Audio Speakers The Legend monitors are elegant and excellent, truly 'sound like music'. I've heard them at several shows, always top-rated, clearly in my favorite handful. They always show with a full system of Legend equipment (now including the Starlet integra... | |
| Best Integrated Amp $1-2k range The Sim I-5080, new this year, is a fine 80 wpc integrated at $1299. | |
| interconnect and speaker cable advice I've used quite a bit of Goertz cable, and think it's great stuff. Their latest interconnect, the Purl, is quite affordable, I think $80 per meter, and you only need 1/2 meter if your components are stacked. But the latest gem is Analysis Plus "Co... | |
