| BC silver serpent or Apogee Wyde Eye? The Apogee is going to be hard to beat considering it's price. I owned one for a while but then upgraded to the Illuminations D-60 cable which yes, was better. I have seen used D-60's on Audiogon for $85.00-$100.00 which is a great deal. Something... | |
| Review: Music Hall MMF5 Turntable What a great review! I am about to purchase an MMF-5 and actually did not realize that it came with factory captive interconnects. I think I will absolutely go the same route as you did by modifying the table. Good Listening! Chris | |
| Sonus faber spkrs- any comments?I The Concertino Home speakers are excellent and hard to beat in my opinion. I owned a pair with the matching fixed stands for about a year. I ended up upgrading to a pair of Tyler Acoustics Taylo Reference Monitors and yes, they are better speakers... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System I am guilty in this thread but I will say this once again, "a cables performance is system centric". Some cables sound better in different set ups. I recently auditioned about everything under the sun in my 2 channel system and settled on AudioQue... | |
| Does the quality of the spades matter Okay, You can use the "eye candy" wbt spades or some carbon copy but the best sounding connectors are the AudioQuest and simliar purest designs. The AQ #P8 spades will be almost impossible to beat in means of performance not to mention cost. KiD | |
| New Dynaudio C series candidates for ugliest list. I have auditioned them as well and they look very nice in person. They sound fantastic. If you want to see an ugly speaker, check out the Legacy Manhatton. That will make the C series look like a super model.Chris | |
| Bel Canto for Tyler Ref Monitors or others ? The Bel Canto is very nice but I would give the Electrocompaniet amplifiers a serious look. I own Tyler Ref monitors and use an Electrocompaniet ECI-3 (70 watt Int) and it is a fantastic match. Their amplifiers have a full warm yet detailed presen... | |
| What are your thoughts on Dh Labs T14 speaker cab It works well with most equipment and its faults are few and far between. For the money, you cannot beat it. Good luck! KiD | |
| Any Thomas Dolby fans out there? Absolutely.. Aliens ate my Buick is a classic. Stellar recording as well. I have Flat Earth, Wireless, and AAMB all on CD. Great Artist..KiD | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Definately..KiD | |

| Tyler Acoustics, Linbrooks vs.addison line ? Good Matrix,Good for you. Having been in the High End Business for many years (in my previous life) and owning probably 30 some pair of speakers, Ty's speakers really impressed me. I had just sold my Sonus Fabers and I was completely set on purchasing ... | |
| Torn between JPS and Black Mamba for cd player I will say this without hesitation as I have learned the hard way. The better things in life are usually more expensive and that is no secret. I have personally not auditioned the JPS but the Black Mamba gave me wonderful results in my system on m... | |
| Best used Redbook CDP for 1700 XA7ES ($1000.00) Mint Used1 Meter Pair of AQ Anaconda XLR or RCA ($500.00)I will put this combo up against anything (Redbook) at twice the price....It is a shame this player is no longer made but they can be found.. | |
| Internal Speaker Rewiring Yes, this is a huge sonic upgrade. What I would suggest is that you find a speaker wire that you feel gives you the performance you enjoy on the MAIN type of music you listen to. Then purchase an additional 8 feet (4 ft for each speaker) and re-wi... |
