| Review: NuForce 9 V2 SE Amplifier Denf, thanks for a very well written and informative piece. IMHO, your extensive experience with similar products is what gives this review so much value. It will certainly help me make a decision about whether to take the Class D, analog switchin... | |
| The CD you most listened to back in 2007 ? Herbie Hancock's "Gershwin's World" ... very well recorded mix of vocals, instrumentals, and a nice piano solo at then end. Real good stuff. | |
| Recommend Me Some Speakers Take a look at Ascend Acoustics. Just search on the Web. They're dedicated to higher end sound on a budget. I owned a pair prior to moving up to better gear; and still use one for center channel in HT set-up. Definitely worth a listen ... they off... | |
| Best Source For Quality Jazz CDs? I'll second the Amazon suggestion ... particularly if you go "used". That can save a lot of money. Check out Verve records on verve.com ... they've assembled a number of other labels under one roof. Many of the "Jazz Round Midnight" series CD's ar... | |
| Signal vs. Audio Art vs. Speltz Anti? Need help... I have Signal speaker cable and all three types of Signal PC's in my system. Very satisfied with this combination. On the I/C front, I have firsthand experience with all the brands mentioned in the original post ... and my opinion as to which is b... | |
| Element Cables vs Signal Cable I agree that Element and Signal look surprisingly similar, and thought they might be the same company. In the end, it didn't matter to me. That said, my experience with Signal has been very positive indeed. All my PC's are Signal ... Basic for Sub... | |
| Amazing Solo Piano Recordings Not being one to trash the opinions of fellow A-goners, I was a little reluctant place this post. But as many posters like to end their opinions with YMMV ... I have to make a couple of observations. First, I was less enthusiastic about my Michel ... | |
| Anyone still using a TRL modded Sony? I've got a Sony 2000ES changer mod from TRL. This has to be one of the most satisfying audio purchases I've ever made. I won't go into all the audiophile superlatives like transparency, micro dynamics, PRAT (excuse me), etc. This player just flat ... | |
| Considering Int. Amp w/ limited features NEED HELP Soulgoober, sorry for the miscommunication. For the record ... I was not specifically recommending the M2200. It was a suggestion for the Outlaw product line ... in which you had particular interest in RR2150 integrated. I went through a similar e... | |
| Considering Int. Amp w/ limited features NEED HELP Soulgoober, as I said in an earlier post ... I know exactly where you are since I was at the same place about a year ago. My research started with AudioReview.com and then migrated over here to A-gon. So many choices, and constantly finding out ab... | |
| Amazing Solo Piano Recordings The original post calls for "amazing" piano recordings. I'm not prepared to go that far, but compared to some Oscar Pederson, Herbie Hancock, Bill Evans, Dave Brubeck solos ... the SACD entitled "Solo" by Michel Camilo is right at the top. Since g... | |
| budget Cables / Interconnects recommendations? Here's another vote for Signal Cable. Using Signal for all PC's, speaker cable, and some IC's. I also have Audio Art IC3 ... nice copper/silver combo using DH Lab inspired geometry. These IC's are very reasonable @ $100/M | |
| Considering Cambridge Audio Amp/CD - Need Advice Based on your budget, and the decisions already reached ... here's a suggestion. Go ahead and get the Outlaw 2150 ($650). Can't go wrong there. These are the same design elements as those used by Amplifier Technology Inc (ATI). Go to Signal Cables... | |
| New Audiophile - Upgrade Amp First or CDP First? Sounds like you are at the same place I started a little over a year ago. My suggestion: upgrade the amp and cabling first. As suggested earlier, unless you're listening to the radio it's maybe not worth getting the receiver. If your receiver has ... | |
| Most helpful audio companies Easy ... Frank Dai at Signal Cable, Ty Lashbrook of Tyler Acoustics, and Paul Weitzel at Tube Research Labs (TRL). These are guys who sometimes answer calls directly and always return phone messages or emails. They're great examples of what custom... |
