| Discovery Plus 4 vs. Discovery Essence I am currently using Discovery Essence between my CD and Pre. I totally agree with Onhwy61's response. | |
| What Speakers to use with my cj prmier 11a Try the Audio Physic Virgos. I heard these speakers with the CJ Premier 12 monos and the sound was fantastic. | |
| Bill Frisell I own "Gone, Just Like a Train" and "Nashville." Both are great discs sonically and musically! | |
| Narrowing down floorstander selection. You owe it to yourself to include both the Legacy Focus 20/20 and the VMPS 40 Sig. in your above list to audition. | |
| Opinions on PS Audio AMP The Classic 250 is a fantastic amp driving the Legacy Audio Whispers. This amp was used to audition these speakers at the store. A great amp w/plenty of power/headroom and finesse. | |
| Why are some cables 'directional'? Twl:I disagree with your arrow directionality (i.e. "points in the direction of signal flow"). Analysis Plus tells the user to point the arrows of their ICs toward the preamp/control amp. Probably like you say, has something to do with the shieldi... | |
| Best amp for Audio Physic Avanti III I would bet the new CJ Premier 140 (either in stereo or mono configuration) would work well based upon an audition of the Virgos with the CJ Premier 12 monos not long ago. For solid state I would be curious to find out how the Parasound JC-1 would... | |

Robust power supply, top-shelve analog stage, I/V stage, transport made out of metal with delrin or high-grade nylon gears (not plastic), double-sided epoxy PCBs, attention to EFI/EMI shielding, quadeutectic solder, superior circuit board design a... | |
| Audio Physic Virgo II vs Tempo III The original Virgo sounded spectacular with the CJ Premier 12 monoblocks (140 w/ch). There are a couple of sellers here on Agon. Not me though. | |
| Replacing stock tonearm cable You said: Please no "try it and hear's". So, you are going to rely on and trust the opinions of others without listening for yourself? That is not a very sound approach.I'm not condoning that advice is always bad, but don't rely on it as making th... | |
| When do records damage a stylus Technically, records always wear on a stylus. Simply, a clean record of high quality vinyl will wear on a stylus less than say a dirty 3rd generation pressing. | |
| Why use a power receptacle at all? For convenience? | |
| Good value upgrade from PSB STRATUS GOLDS to ? I went from the Stratus Golds to the Legacy Focus 20/20s which retail for $6400. Perhaps a bit beyond your budget, but IMO worth the $5200 I paid new for them. | |
| Favourite Guitar CDs One of my favorites is Bruce Cockburn. Try and listen to his "Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws" CD. It is nice classical/folk style with good variety of songs on the disc. | |
| Best amp for Sonus Faber Amati Homage? I would try and get a listen to the new CJ Premier 140 monoblocks with these speakers. |
