| Review: Paul Speltz Anti Cables Speaker cable I purchased a 100' roll of the original Anti cable when they first came out and made 2 25' sets so I could run them under my living room floor(the reason? the dreaded wife factor she wouldn't go for setting the whole system in the same place)after... | |
| Review: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated Amplifier I have a MF A5 int and it's excellent. While I admit that some of the other models I've heard are thin and a bit bright this amp is warm, clear and detailed. Tons of power and it smoothed out a pair Klipsch Heresy's and got all bass the Heresy's c... | |
| Seeking info N.E.W. Nirvana Electronic Works A20 Hmmm....I have a N.E.W. A-20 that I bought on Audiogon shortly after buying (and loving it)I emailed Nelson Pass and asked him about the rumors did he or didn't he design it.

| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? My Pass Volksamp Aleph 30 I'll probably keep for life even after I purchase a newer Pass amp just because it's so smooth and relaxed. I would bet most Pass owners remain loyal to the brand and with good reason. | |

| The best speaker you ever heard? After thought to my previous post Bose speakers are not part of the equation. Give it up Hifisoundguy pick up a pair of used anythings here on Audiogon and start living it up. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? The pair that I have hooked up tonight, which should be fine until I get speaker lust and can afford a upgrade. | |
| ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms?? ZmanGood luck with your new speakers I'm sure they will be very pleasing.I'm not familiar with the Lore's I'll have to give them a listen soon. The more gear I listen to less seems like more, taking the crossovers out of the design just seems to m... | |
| ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms?? ZmanastronomyHave you tried a pair of the Zu's yet? You can't bet the deal Zu offers for trying their speakers, remember you can buy the Omens cheaper from Music Direct in Chicago than from Zu and with the same return policy in place. The answer t... | |
| ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms?? I don't care what amp you use the Omen's are excellent speakers.They arrived the end of November I broke them in with a tubes and ran them all day everyday for 5 weeks then switched over to a Musical Fidelity A-5 proving that there's nothing like ... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Is there a "best" integrated? I like my Musical Fidelity A5 coupled two my dynaudio's...but that's just me. | |
| Words From the Wise Having the bug bad can be good if you buy used gear you can afford to set-up two or more systems. More than 1 or 2 systems affords your ability mix gear, all the while moving forward. Trust your ears not the price of equipment. Cables and such hmm... | |
