| Power Cords for Cary I strongly suggest you listen to other cables than Cardas. If you still like the Cardas, fine, but they sounded very bad in my system...that's not to say they will be bad in yours..but. They are grainy, closed in, fuzzy, without clarity, and/or mu... | |
| Ayre vs Boulder Audio Research has a more laid back presentation...as Vandersteen sometimes do. I like Ayre better. | |
| VPI tone arm set up I have a Benz Ebony LP, and had a Benz Ebony high output...both wonderful. Dyna xv-1 is also great. Listen to both and decide. | |
| Bryston 14B-SST or Pass Labs X 350.5 You should also consider Ayre amps...I think its the best of them.. | |
| VPI Rim Drive I don't think the single motor flywheel is available yet...however, it is in the works. Contact VPI for confirmation | |
| Problem with Ayre C-7xe CD player? I have the C5xe..and yes there are some discs that Ayre doesn't like. You are right Ayre stuff does sound fabulous. I hope you are using yours balanced...the sound is much better on all Ayre products that are balanced. Michael is a great guy...he ... | |
| Ayre vs Boulder I am playing my Vandersteen 5A's with everything Ayre. I found that Audioquest Sky is second of all the many cables I've tried. Anti-Cables are first. I'm not kidding. Also, I've tried lots of power cords, but the ones I got from VHAudio that I ma... | |
| VPI tone arm set up I second Markus 2399 regarding the Mint Tractor. | |
| Grado woodie with SOTA/Origin Live? I had a Grado Sonata low output. I thought it was a musical cartridge, however, when I changed to a Benz, it revealed that the cartridge was grainy and had a "brown" quality to it. I suggest you listen to a Benz or Dyna and then make your decision. | |
| Biwire cable on a standard 2 terminal speaker? Try Anti-Cables...No lie. They are very neutral and revealing. They have a money back guarantee My dealer dropped by to voice my Vandersteen 5A's and was really impressed. They work better for me than anything I've tried, and I've tried lots | |
| Aerial 10T vs B&W 802 Nautilus I got my 802D's right after my wife died a couple of years ago. I needed a present and thought that the B&W's were beautiful to look at...I guess I thought that the top module reminded me of a woman's breast. Anyway, I never could get the spea... | |
| Aerial 10T vs B&W 802 Nautilus To these ears, 10T's are far better than B&W 802's | |
| Dynavector, Denon or Lyra Cart on Roksan Nima? For me it does | |
| Vandersteen 5a battery biased crossovers Why mess with a good thing...replace the batteries. | |
| Dynavector, Denon or Lyra Cart on Roksan Nima? Personally, every time I've heard Zyx offerings, I've found too much definition and not enough music. It's analogous to having the contrast of the tv increased too much....just my taste. I do like the Dynas. |
