| Romulus CD player-- Is it because it is too expensive for the average audiophile who does not have 7k to 8k laying around on his desk at home. Grannyring notes that the "Signature Version: is a cool $10,000. I am sure there are a few or more members who have taken th... | |
| Audio Art spk cable to Signal Cable. Up to down? To Zd542. I may have kicked off a similar discussion before. I used AZ's Hologram II for about a year and liked them. However, guests, wife, cat were tripping over them because of the cable's fire hose girth. So I sold them. Hologram II's strength... | |
| Audio Sensibility vs. Signal Cable speaker cable Brf,, OK OK, no need to get huffy in your reply. We are only discussing audio cables, not political idealogy.As I commented in either this thread, or another, I don't want to necessarily get on the cable exchange "merry go round" of 30 day trials.... | |
| Audio Sensibility vs. Signal Cable speaker cable To Brownfan. Thank you for your recommendation of VH Audio. However, they don't seem to list models of speaker cable. In addition, they look like a bulk wire supplier for audio/video commercial uses which does not suggest that their speaker cable ... | |
| Audio Sensibility vs. Signal Cable speaker cable To Snofun, One assumption that every audiophile should make about this "obsession" is that manufacturers's goals are to make profit by making wild and generally unjustified claims about their products. Be that as it may, we still can "hope", and s... | |
| Best cheap speaker cables............again Signal Cables are an excellent value, if you choose the "Ultra" model Is any member currently using them?? Also I have seen several recommendations for DNM/Reson speaker cable. The less expensive "Precision 2" model can compete with Signal Cable's... | |
| Monitors that compete with quality floorstanders?? To NoNoise, I checked out the Atomhn website. Nice speakers. The Sirocco is reasonably priced at $1495.00 but the other monitor called the "Grinell"(?) is $3995.00. If you heard both on the same day, tell me where and how you thought value, (that ... | |
| Monitors that compete with quality floorstanders?? I have to agree with Soix about Totem. I have been enamoured with the brand for more years than I should have. My target speaker was Totem's "Hawk" speaker a short floorstander with outstanding soundstaging and to a like degree imagining. The next... | |
| Monitors that compete with quality floorstanders?? To Simao, In the noble hobby of hi-end audio, there must be some standard of performance/satisfaction versus price. The YG "Sonja" which retail for a cool $109,000 are probably great sounding speakers, but where in this calculation of retail price... | |
| Monitors that compete with quality floorstanders?? Thank to all who have responded so far.. All are interesting suggestions, especially the Sjorn speakers called "The Clue" The press and show reports rave about the performance of this smallish monitor. In particular, the bass is supposed to be ama... | |
| Major mistakes made in assembling your audio rig Thanks to all for their forthcoming-ness ( is there such a word???) Nevertheless, It is consoling to know that other 'philes have made mistakes. I once put the wrong amperage fuse in a new Conrad Johnson PV-8 pre-amp, only to observe one minute la... | |
| Will an after market PC improve the sound of CDP?? Many thanks to those who have replied.To Listener 57: your suggestions sound interesting and worth investigating | |
| Will an after market PC improve the sound of CDP?? To Lowrider, I did try the Shunyata on my new Rogue hybrid integrated, with little to no discernible improvement. The Shuyaya's IEC plug is a plastic piece of crap and often gets loose and falls out of the back of the ApolloInterestingly, a few ye... | |
| Rega Apollo: buy a DAC or buy a new/newer CDP? To Schubert, Thank you for the comment. I floated a similar thread out about three years ago when the DAC issue was hot. Many members said... save your money and buy a new CDP, because an under $1000 DAC would only make a marginal improvement, if ... | |
| Speaker cables Thanks to all for their comments. The information is very helpful. No big surprise, my source for the used Harmonic Tech and the used Cardas is the Used Cable Company inventory. Of course, despite their reputation who knows whether they did not ta... |
