| Anyone heard Acoustic Zen "Absolute" Power cord? Stew3859, I wrote a reveiw here on the GON about the the new AZ Absolute ICs and speaker wire and found both to be quite terrific in my system. My hunch is that the new ABSOLUTE PC would out perform the Gargantua by the same percent that the wires... | |
| Benchmark DAC-1 vs. Bel Canto DAC-2 I hate to disagree with Audioengr, but I had the exact opposite experience when audtioning (unmodded) the two DACS. I found them both to be quite good, but the Bel Canto-2 was warmer/smoother then the Benchmark without giving up details/dynamics. ... | |
| What's the "worst" cdp for the money? I took home for a weekend audtion the reference, top of the line Naim CDP that sells for $13000.00. The audtion lasted one and a half days because I and my girlfriend found it's sound so annoying and unpleasant we could not take it any more! No, i... | |
