| Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll That new Mac and Youth collaboration is quite good and is the first Mac album I purchased new since Wings Wild Life came out many years ago. | |
| Rogue Audio Cronus ...what speakers do you love ? Yes I had the Cronus with Vandersteen 2Ce Sigs and this was a very good combo, dynammic and extended beyond what the 1cs provide, though the 1cs are an incredible value. Later I sold the Cronus and the Vandersteens in my continued quest and switch... | |
| Good preamp match for Bryston 4B ST I connected the pre and power amp with balanced Synergistic cables and the 4BST powered Thiel 7s at the time I had this system. Wish I'd kept the 7s but that's another story.My thoughts around synergy are not so much sonic as they are from a desig... | |

| How far, how much? Also consider the Vandersteen 1c. A great sounding, excellent value speaker. They are easy to drive and are time and phase accurate, as are all of Vandersteen's models. | |

| Good preamp match for Bryston 4B ST I had one of these and I had it paired with a Bryston BP25 with moving coil phono preamp. This was a solid pairing and formed a synergy. I see there is a bp5 with MC section for sale on the 'gon. This would be a good value. | |
| Can I drive Thiel CS 2 2 with a Forte' F 55? I had the 2Ces and now the 2.4s. I think your amp will work just fine. Though Thiel has a sometimes demanding impedance curve, one thing they do not have is a difficult phase angle, which can sometimes be more problematic than impedance. I use a C... | |
| Which has greatest influence? All components matter, which is why we build systems. Component switching can improve or degrade systems, but there is no predictive formula that tells us we will improve things with a certain amount of dollars spent. This is the chase to do as mu... | |
