| Best RCA terminated digital interconnect? You have 2 choices as I have tried everything under the sun in my set ups. Illuminati D-60 or Kimber Select KS-2020. I cannot comment on the Pure Note Cable mentioned above but their cable is anything like their website. Color me un-impressed as i... | |
| Pure silver solid wire jumpers??? Alan,I tried something similiar with your speakers when I owned a pair. I did not stick with the silver but Au24 as it gave the best performance with my setup. Unfortunately, whatever jumpers you are using are still going to go through the Dh-Labs... | |
| Sonus Faber Sound? Ryder,No apology needed. It is all synergy in one's system. Some of us have it, some of us don't. It is that simple.Cheers,Chris | |
| Your listening chair "I'm thinking I ought to get an Ab-Lounge as my listening chair."Did the exact opposite. I installed a stainless steel Beer fridge behind my listening chair. Works great and has a reverse effect of the Ab-Lounge!Chris | |
| Tough Choice: Proac D25 or Dynaudio Special 25 "Curious: how do you compare the Proac 1sc and the Harbeth COmpact 7 es2 ?Are they similar sounding ?"I would not call them similiar sounding. Each has their strengths. The Proac 1SC when properly setup and properly driven is hard monitor to beat.... | |
| Tweeters, Scanspeak or Seas Keep in mind that the drivers and tweeters are important as they do have their own characteristics. However, the crossovers and enclosure types are very important as well. I have heard speakers with best of breed drivers and tweeters just sound, j... | |
| Tough Choice: Proac D25 or Dynaudio Special 25 I would suggest giving the Harbeths a serious listen. I think they are superior to both the Dynaudios and the Proacs. I love the Proac 1SC's but feel the D25 is actually just okay. As far as the Dynaudios, I personally would pass. I auditioned the... | |
| Queen on American Idol I concur as well, he needs to go. Ace's ego is outta hand. Chris | |
| Jonny Cash I could not agree with Pehare more. I actually just listened to "Unchained" today and came across this thread.. That is great that you have the Rick Rubin discs..I came across Johnny Cash in a sort of backwards fashion. He was an inspiration to on... | |
| Simple question? Steve,If I had to live with Solid State, I would personally choose an Electrocompaniet Class A amplifier. They are wonderful sounding and very musical. Between the McCormack and the Krell, the McCormack is definitely the way to go. If you can find... | |
| Queen on American Idol I have actually enjoyed this season of American Idol. It will be cool to see Queen on stage. I think Chris, Katherine, and Taylor will probably rise to the top given the material. It will be interesting to see what song each of them pick.(I really... | |

| Which digital cable to use with a Benchmark DAC-1 There are some really good advice above. I have tried about every digital cable under the sun and ended up with the Illuminati D-60 Cable. I would also recommend the KS2020 as it is a fantastic cable. The Apogee Wyde Eye and the Canare are great c... | |
| Sunny Cables "Wow" What a terrible name. | |
| The XA9000ES's are hitting the Classifieds Rapidly Jactoy,You are probably correct. What I listen too is not widely available on SACD. On SACD I had Ryan Adams, Train, The Police, Roger Waters, Peter Gabriel, Norah Jones, and few other titles. The majority of those discs did yield an audible impro... |
