| Your latest "HOT " secret music............ I have to second Slipknot1's comments on Modest Mouse 'TM&A" release. It is orignial and recorded well. A couple other goodies worth checking out:Death Cab 4 Cutie 'Transatlanticism' is a great and different sounding rock album. It is very dif... | |
| Sonus Faber Stradivarius Please post a review of your own once you recieve them. Congrats on your purchase as I have heard nothing but good things on new model! I am longtime Sonus Faber fan and owner. My wife and I are planning a trip to Italy and I am hoping to go and t... | |
| Speakers to match a CARY SLI-80 I will tell you what I have and you can take it as you wish. I have an SLI-80 signature with MIT and Oil filled Caps upgrade. I am using the Sonus Faber Concerto Homes with the matching adjustable stands and the combination is MAGIC! I am using a ... | |
| Sony SCD-C 555ES David99,Good point but I forgot to mention, the unit was over a year old and had plenty of use. My friend kept it for about 3 weeks and things did not improve. I have to assume it was broken in. Chris | |
| Favorite MP3 Player if you happen to use them The Apple iPods are hard to beat. While they are the most expensive, they actually sound pretty good. I will even run mine into my SLI-80 directly and just let it run on weekends in Random mode. Now the Mini iPod at the $250.00 pricepoint is a no ... | |
| Sony SCD-C 555ES This is strange. While I own a 222es, it is anything but bright and offers a great soundstage. A good friend of mine purchased one used here on Audiogon and when it arrived, he called me over for a listen. It sounded horrible. Bright, edgy, and ju... | |
| Epos els 3 vs Triangle Titus $300 range new/used.. I would steer you towards the Epos. The Triangles are very mechanical sounding and can drive you right out of a room. They image wonderfully but everything else is just not musical. The Epos will be much more relaxed and musically composed. Also n... | |
| Entry level AUdience products..... I use the Au24 as my reference cables and purchased a 1 meter length of the Conductor for my HK CD Burner. To my surprise, it sounds very nice. Not quite as refined and airy as the Au24 but not that far off either. Well worth the price IMO. Good L... | |
| listener fatigue? go analogue. Please do not take offense to my post but your equipment has no synergy. Rotel has a tendancy to sound forward and yes sometimes aggressive (not as bad as Adcom but not great either). Your B&W's are also highly revealing and will reproduce wha... | |

| JMLab Micro Utopia Be vs Dynaudio Special 25 The JM's are nice but very mechanical sounding to me. I would choose the Dynaudios hands down. Make sure you have plenty of power though as they are hungry as the JM Labs are quite the opposite! Good Luck! KiD | |
| sonus faber cremona vs jmlab mezzo utopia. Yea, it depends on what you want. The JM will have a little more analytical detail and mechanical representation even with tubes. All though they are goosebump risers on perfect recordings. The Sonus will have more of a warm musicality that I pref... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Hey there.. Yea, my mods on my S4 include a SuperSprint Race System Stainless Exhaust, Stratmosphere Diverter Valves and Custom tuned AutoThority Performance Engineering Software (1 bar of boost) to bring it all together. My car has been pretty bu... | |
| Audioquest Dialectric-Bias System Makes you wonder why they didn't wait until they got the balance right? I hate it when products are released pre-maturely and then revisions start coming. Pretty soon, you have a completely different product.. KiD | |
| Audioquest Dialectric-Bias System Interesting remarks regarding the DBS system. I used to use AudioQuest exclusively and tried the DBS version of the Volcano versus my regular Volcano when it was first released. I was using Anaconda interconnect and was just not thrilled with the ... |
