| Is the Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun warm?? audphile1, no I am still waiting on my pass labs amps. I do have the Purist AA cables. They are very nice though I prefer the Venustas which are more money than I want to spend on cables. I was hoping that by going with an AZ setup I may realize s... | |
| brass outlet covers...anyone try them? Sound good just of our curiosity, are you referring to the outlet recepticle (i.e what you plug your power cables into?) if so then i agree with you that outlets do make a difference. I cant understand your findings about the center mounting screw though. an... | |
| APL Esoteric X-01 Well Greg...its a done deal. The 802d sold (in less than 1 day wow!). Right now I am seriously looking at the Usher be-10. I think their berillium mid and tweeter and fast bass response should be a good match with the XA160. I think I have read so... | |
| APL Esoteric X-01 Greg, LOL!!! My wife would never let me hang out with you!!The 802D are GREAT speakers. I am looking for something that sounds a bit more dynamic, nimble, and quick. The 802d are a bit slow for my taste. The bass is also a bit loose and boomy. I (... | |
| APL Esoteric X-01 Hey Greg, if you sell your amps what are you goong to use to power the Eggleston Works Andra IIs??? Also, if you sell your speakers what are you going to use to listen to your awesome new X-01??I have it bad too...I have swapped speakers 3 times i... | |
| Pass XA160 for 8ohm, 89db speakers? Jeb, right now they are bw 802d but I am really thinking about getting the Usher be-10...they just sound so clear, neutral, and dynamic with very nice tight bass. I am also thinking about the avalons. | |
| Pass XA160 for 8ohm, 89db speakers? Hey Jeb so you are not using an amps with the rushmores?? Did you find that the XA's had any problems managing the bass? I am a little concerned with its low damping factor. | |
| Difference between B&W 800N/SIG and B&W800D Hi, I cannot attest to the 800 series but I do currently have the 802d and I agree with your assessment of the bass. I love the midrange and highs but the bass sounds loose and boomy to me. I am considering moving on to a different speaker. That b... | |
| Pass XA160 for 8ohm, 89db speakers? Thanks Jeb and Audiokinesis. I pulled the trigger on the XA160 this morning. By the way Jeb, what kind of experience do you have with the Pass amps? | |
| How's your music library? I have about 3000 cds, most of which are digitally encoded and stored on a NAS. My wife greatly appreciates this as it was getting VERY difficult to find space for all of my music. I do keep a small stash of favorite or new cds laying around for c... | |
| Amazing Solo Piano Recordings I really like George Winston. | |
| Suggestions for CD player $2-3k used? I second the vote for the Cary 303/300. I had this and recently upgraded to the 306. If you like the Cary house sound (warm, organic midrange) go for the Cary. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 2003 Lexus SC430 convertible AND (my personal favorite) a 2006 Honday Odyssey Minivan!!! Chicks love guys in minivans! :) | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks Amplifier islandbird:I finally got a respone from Pass and they say there is no dobut about it, go for the x600.5. When I spoke with Tim from Pass on the phone there was not even a moment of hesitancy. So I guess I will be getting the 600.5!!!! | |
| Can you suggest a warm high-end CD player? I would highly recommend the Cary 303 or 306. The Cary house sound is a little on the dark side with a very nice, warm midrange. |
