| Jolida 1501RC hybrid integrated vs. Rogue's Sphinx Thanks to Lowrider for the additional comment.Mapman, I have a pair of Acoustic Zen Adagios. They are 88db efficiency and are 6 ohms. They use a transmission line design, but I think the bass is only about a C+/B- I drive them with Red Dragon M-50... | |
| Jolida 1501RC hybrid integrated vs. Rogue's Sphinx Thanks to all who have responded so far. Regarding other Rogue products, I believe I read that Rogue's Cronos Magnum sounds better than the Sphinx,... that is smoother with a deeper and wider sound stage. However, it is all tubes, needs occasional... | |
| Rega Saturn or Sony XA5400: Sound or features? No serious offense taken by Chayro or Jon's comments However, I think I will go into hibernation for awhile because I can't find what I want in a CD player or can't afford what I want. Nevertheless, I have to downsize the system anyway because I w... | |
| Rega Saturn or Sony XA5400: Sound or features? To Jedinite: yes, I live in Hawaii and it is paradise; that is, until the tsumani sirens start sounding or the islands are in the direct path of a mothering typhoon or hurricane. Despite the sun, blue sky, water and tight bikini bottoms, it is som... | |
| Rega Saturn or Sony XA5400: Sound or features? Thanks to all who have responded.To Chayro I guess I forgot this thread from August; however, I don't enjoy being make to look like some absent-minded fool. Regrettably over the last year or so, I have seen a mounting intolerance against members w... | |
| WyWire Blue speaker cable or Kimber Kable 12TC? To ZD542, Yes I have been considering an integrated amp and the Rogue "Sphinx" might be the one. Unless I am find Rogue Cronos Magnus is better; it is about $1000 more, has the same power as the Sphinx, and supposedly the same phono stageAs far as... | |
| Best sounding Hybrid Integrated in $2000 range Thanks to all who have responded so far. The Rogue Sphinx is high on the list. Though, I have been tempted by Rogue's CM which is supposed to be better. But, then it is a question of rolling tubes to get the right sound. Hopefully the remote is be... | |
| Budget cable chaos??? Is River Cable the new star? Tls49: The Chord Chameleon IC was recommended as compatible with the Apollo, and really made a difference in the sound. You are right the Apollo is somewhat bright up top, and also does not resolve highs that well. Occasionally, highs can sound li... | |

| Budget cable chaos??? Is River Cable the new star? TO Tls49, Yes, sometimes frustrated, but I think we are all victims of a business model that makes it difficult to find the right combinations of components, and especially cables. This is mostly the consequence of the "business model" that evolve... | |
| Budget cable chaos??? Is River Cable the new star? To Jtcf. Thanks for the advice,> I know Goertz cables have been around for ages, and so might be able to find a pair of the cooper to audition or possibly buy from The Cable Company or The Used Cable Compnay | |
| Budget cable chaos??? Is River Cable the new star? I knew I was going to take it on the chin with this thread. Zd542: I know you "don't take prisoners" in your comments but I wish you would not come on like gang busters. This is an audio blog, not a national security meetingHowever, I THOUGHT my c... | |

| Blindly deafly? bought Purple Flare cables... Actually, I was in the same quandary about 6 months ago. I was hot to buy the Nordost Purple Flair based on briefly hearing it a few times, and before some reviews came trickling in. Unfortunately, I need at least an 11 ft pair and that was expen... | |
| Musical Fidelity A5 modded L 2: Is it worth it?? To Schubert: Thanks for the advice. Without changing horses in mid stream, there is a Marantz S1 player on sale on AG. Have you ever heard it?? or compared to other supposedly high end players?? I have always associated Marantz with mid-f gear. BT... |
