| Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect Rsbeck, I find it hard to believe,sharing this with respect to you, why you would find it so hard to accept that even if you have a system that already functions at a reference level of resolution that it can be brought to even a higher level with... | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect Wow Rsbeck, it seems to me you want to pin me in an either/or position on the older AZ cables in comparsion with the new Absolute wires. Either there was something wrong with the previous AZ cables or the Absolute wires are qualitatively different... | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect Guidocorona, that's a great question which I cannot answer.In my response to Resbeck,I shared I don't have that type of technique information but that being the type of gentleman that Mr.Lee is, he has always taken the time to talk to me on the ph... | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect Rsbeck, I think you took my comments out of context in my review. What I would call the house sound of Acoustic Zen cables in general is very musical and yet detailed etc.,so the Absolute cables are an evolution towards the standard of real music.... | |
| Speaker cable suggestions I would suggest you try out Acoustic Zen Satori which offer many virtues with little downside sonicly. Their just about at the upper limit of your budget new but are often offered used here on the GON for less money. Hope this helps. | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect Guidocorona, when I did my original lengthy audtion of different wires a couple a years ago, AudioQuest was one of the flavors I did listen to. I do not remember which specific cable I tried, it was towards the high end of their line, but found it... | |
| Can you ever go back and be happy? Pbb, I'm quite curious about your reliability problems with your MG-3.6s. The Maggie owners,including myself, that I know have never experienced breakdowns with the exception of having to replace a ribbon tweater now and then through normal wear a... | |
| Mid-priced warm sounding DAC? I would strongly suggest you audtion a BEL CANTO DAC2. A audiophile buddy just went through an audtioning process and purchased a demo unit for under $900.00. It upsamples to 24/192 and is warm and musical but still detailed and has very good dyna... | |
| Review: Pass Labs X350.5 Amplifier Hello Ipy, thanks for liking my review of the 350.5. As you know from the review, I use a Placette dual mono active line stage in my system. However, as far as I know, there should be no difficulty in matching most passive preamps, regarding volum... | |
| Would a new cd player make a difference? I had the Kyocera CDP many years ago and it was good for those times. However,I totally agree with Twu2, that you would be amazed by how much of an improvement you would hear by trying one of the better CDPs of much more recent vintage. Not just a... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4jr Wow,you must have a large $ resource to consider 4 grand for a pair of speakers to be considered in the budget category. I know everything is relative, but I would consider a pair of budget speakers would be around anywhere from $500- $2000. A gre... | |
| Best system for jazz? Budrew, when I posted my system here on the GON I called it "The sound of Jazz" because I mainly listen to acoustic jazz form the 50's, 60's and 70's. Swing,Be-bop,and Hard-bop are played on a daily basis in my home. Take a look at my system and n... | |
| Pass XVR-1 Crossover Muslover, if you own MG-20.1s congratulations, you have one of the great speakers of high end audio. In the response left by Rbautista, I'm the one he is refering to regarding bi-amping MG-20s.I chose not to upgrade to the 20.1s because the sonic ... | |
