| What has happened to Taddeo? Jim Anthon embezzled $70,000 from them while Tony was in the hospital with a stroke. I hold Anthon largely responsible for Tony's death. I know because Tony and I commiserated about this crook. | |
| What's your High End best buy/unknown components? No question my H-Cat preamp. In my experience with at least 20 top preamps, none even approaches the revolutionary device. | |
| Best CDP isolation device you use? I agree with those above recommending the Neuance shelves as best. Mine were clearly superior to the Symposiums and various air or sand isolation bases. But I have never found any further foot helps. The Aurios, the Rollerblocks even with grade 3 ... | |
| What cable caused you to become a cable "junkie" ? Jm, I have also thread a similar path with the same result, Omega Mikro. I have not ended up with OM for ics, however, just power cords and speaker wires. Also I did not go through any of those you listed.Fulton GoldsCobra CablesVarious AudioQuest... | |
| Mac C2200 Vs Supratek Chardonnay/Syrah line-stage I have not heard the Mac, but I cannot imagine that a Mac would ever be better. The Syrah is very good, especially its phono stage, which you don't need. Actually my advise is neither but do use an active line stage. | |
| What is the best tweak? What is the best part of mathematic to know? | |
| What cable caused you to become a cable "junkie" ? Crump, you and the others help me to not feel I am the oldest audiophile. I too started with the Fulton welding cables of 29" length because the babooms at the Minn. zoo responded to recorded alerts at that length. This is a very slippery slope. | |
| Cables - Where to begin? I wish I could say that there is an easy course ahead for you, but there is not. In some cases you can get a 30 demo. period, such as for the RS Audio Cables $99/1 m. ics I would recommend, but other companies do not have this expensive option, su... | |
| Audio Note 4.1X vs. 4.1X Signature I had the AN DAC4.1X Not balanced and later the AN DAC4.1X Signature Not balanced. The latter was substantially better. Why don't you email Peter and ask what differences you would hear? Or check out the web site for what the differences are. | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel I cannot conceive of what benefit there is in this conversation. There is no technical discussion even were the posters informed that negates the clear superiority of sacd in most instances. The new XRCD24s are clearly competitive with sacd, however. | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel Durham: Having been through the LP revolution and the cd revolution, I expect that I never thought the hype for either DVD-A or SACD would hold true. My other comments merely center on my not thinking theoretical criticism of the format has anythi... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel Mejames, The Marantz SA-1, the Lindemann d680, the EMM DAC6, the Exemplar/Denon 2900, and the A. Wright Sony 9000.Durham, I am sorry, I thought this was about what you heard, not what you read or think. I see none of your points as really relevant... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel Durham, I think you need to try newer sacd players. I have had five sacd players since my SCD-1. Each was substantially better than the Sony. I know there are mods to the SCD-1 which can substantially improve it also. In my experience the DVD-A at... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel With the possible exception of the TEAC D70 and P70 duo, I have had but one instance where cd is the better of sacd. Pink Floyd DSOTM. I have had some exception units, such as the Meitner DAC6, the Lindemann, and the Allen Wright Sony 9000 where t... | |
