| Any cable suggestions for my Thiel 2.4's? I replaced my Harmonic Technology cables with Mapleshade Double Helix for my 2.4s and these are simply amazing. More coherence, bass extension, microdynamics; it's as if the soundstage is now in fine focus. 30 day money back if you don't like them... | |
| Wilson Audio paint problems I've read this thread (and others over the years on the very same topic) from top to bottom, so far, and my conclusion is that if you buy this brand of speaker you are at risk of having finish problems down the road. To date, no other speaker manu... | |
| What are you 'TRULY' Looking for in Loudspeaker... Simply that I forget about their existence and be drawn into the music. | |

| What's more important: phono stage or amp It's ALL important, system, system, system. Say it over and over again until these sort of questions simply go away. | |
| Tube Phono Stage vs Solid State What do you think? Tube phono pres are just as "bass tight" as solid state, that is a misconception. A preamp is not the same as an amp driving speakers. The ouput impedance characterstics are very different. | |
| Diagnose the weak link. I agree with Ncarv; time to upgrade your preamp. You might also consider a CJ pre. | |
| Hrrmmm..What a difference..Now must move speakers Typically one gets a 6 dB increase going to balanced design, provided the components are true balanced. I have not had to reposition speakers based on this however, despite different cable brands making a noticeable difference to the overall sonic... | |
| Krell or Mark Levinson with Revel Ultima2's??? Apologies | |
| Anyone heard the Krell KCT Preamp? Well, after almost 8 trouble-free years I am happy to report that my KCT (and 400cx) is still making music trouble free and sounding simply fantastic. I am still using the same CAST cable with the 400cx. I have only had to change the batteries in ... | |
| Krell or Mark Levinson with Revel Ultima2's??? How do you know that Ayre sounds so much better and are less fatiguing when you admit to not having heard Krell?I just don't get it. This is nonsense. | |
| Are you recording your vinyl? Recording vinyl defeats the whole purpose of it in the first place. If I can't listen to the vinyl version because I don't have the time or am in the car, I don't want to play it in a more portable, but less listenable format. What's the point?Yes... | |
| Any copyright lawyers lurking? What I do know is that none of us owns the music we purchase regardless of format, we only purchase a perpetual license to listen and non-monetarily share or make copies under strict non-profitable terms and conditions by the publisher. Also, the ... | |
| What's better than a Jolida 100cdp & under 1k? Yes, I had the Jolida 100, Meridian 508.24 and Parasound 100. I now have two Cambridge Audio 840c for each of two systems and these are much better cdps than those owned previously. I also use the accessible DAC to run Squeezebox Classics into for... | |
| What separates should I use for my vandersteen 1c? Underscore CJ electronics with Vandersteen speakers. One of those few but ideal matches. |
