What happened?
geez- maybe Romy is on to something. I am here in Toronto, and was ALSO complaining to an audiophile buddy that my system was sounding 'not right' a while ago. Then, I got a BPT 2.5 balanced line conditioner, and things were WAY better with it in ... 
Has anyone demoed Audio Teknes cables?
I had Dynaflux IC's for a while. They are smooth and unfatiguing, although detail retrieval suffered when compared to their replacements- Coincident CST. There was no area where the Coincident did not outperform the Dynaflux (and this test was rep... 
Placette, VS First Sound VS Audio Synthesis Passio
4Yanx- I had the Bent unit you are describing in my system and another buddy's (Israel Blume- Owner/Designer Coincident Speaker Technology) for testing- although fairly smooth in presentation and not the least bit aggressive, we found it did softe... 
I want peoples opinions on best ac conditioners
Mitch- BPT 2.5 with all upgrades- direct from factory price is ~$1,800-$1,900 with 30-day trial (you won't need it), or, you can get it from Underwoodwally (dealer here on Audiogon- Walter Leiderman) for less. Walter is a great guy to deal with as... 
Anyone heard the Coincident SET ???
Izzz's amps are excellent- I know from first-hand exeprience, HOWEVER, I am smitten right now with the latest ASL 1009 60-watt 845-based monos- they are SUPERB (with some basic mods by Israel), and an excellent match with hos speakers as well. 
I want peoples opinions on best ac conditioners
Rsback is correct, however I live in a condo and can't do dedicated circuits. I just went from the Tice IIIC HP (very happy with it for a few years) to the newest BPT 2.5 with all internal upgrades. Now that the power cord has broken in (since my ... 
EMM Labs DAC6 vs. latest version dCS
this is a good thread that should be continued if possible. I have been communicating with Bryan (Bwhite) off-line re: the Melior/Meitner stuff, as I will be the first one to be testing a special 'signature' version of the Melior 'Data II' (John W... 
Your Experience with Bryston 7BSST.....
My buddy has Betas, went from a Bryston 4BST to a pair of Sim Audio W-10 monoblocks for the woofers. I have asked him to respond to your thread... 
I want peoples opinions on best ac conditioners
you'll find different camps on this- I have had success in the past with balanced power, and have recently upgraded to the Balanced Power Tech BPT 2.5 w internal upgrades- seems to provide a very quiet background with no compromises in dynamics- b... 
Cardas Golden Power Cord.....
The Ensemble PC's offer what the Cardas Golden does, but with more neutrality- I use them for digital. 
Audio Note DAC 3.1x good upgrade for EMC-1?
yes, I believe you will notice a big difference. Have heard the EMC-1- not bad actually, however I bought the Audio Aero Capitole instead, then moved up to Spectral 3000SL transport and the Audio Note 3.1x Balanced dac, and the performance improve... 
Wadia 861 vs. Gamut CD1r vs Sonic Frontiers T3/P3
cross the Gamut off your list- I demo'd it extensively- extrememly light in the bass. Highs were clean and clear, but thats' about it IMHO. What is your price point? I am loving my Spectral SDR3000 transport, and there are a couple for sale right ... 
Coincident UHS speakers,,,,,,anyone own a pair?
Meech- the imaging is so damn good with the TV's, once you get them, you won't NEED a center channel! Trelja- have NO idea what this AR TDS 202 thing is you are talking about... 
Center Channels sound crappy
au contrair mon ami- the right center chanel can sound amazing! My previous HT setup included 5 identical full-range Totem Mani-2 speakers driven by a Theta Dreadnaught. The center channel being exactly the same and using the same type and amount ... 
Coincident UHS speakers,,,,,,anyone own a pair?
Trelja- interesting that you mention the Triumph's- they are the one Coincident speaker I have NOT heard or owned!I used to have the Victory's in a 10'x16' second-bedroom dedicated listening room- they are fabulous in a smaller room. I also had Co...
