| turning my system on during lightning storms Kijanki, your comment about the plasma ball reminds me of a time I was driving in Tennessee during a thunder storm. I was approaching a corner and witnessed a lightning bolt strike a tree. It was probably 40 yards ahead of me. What I saw was a big... | |
| Question Of Balance - The Moody Blues Don't stop with Seventh Sojourn! I'm really enjoying these reviews. I would like to here your take on "On The Threshold Of A Dream." This has been my favorite since its release.Your first review prompted me to order the newest release of Threshold... | |
| turning my system on during lightning storms You must live in the midwest. The other night a particularly lively storm came up fast. I jumped out of my chair to pull the plugs. Definitely the safest bet. | |
| Days of Future Passed - The Moody Blues Very interesting review. I've been considering picking up some of the newly issued Moody Blues' cds. Was a huge fan back in the day. On The Threshold of a dream -- what memories.Think it's time to make a purchase. | |
| Large listening room Years ago I had my system in a room of similar dimensions. The sound was always flat and uninvolving when I sat on the couch on the opposite wall. I did exactly as you are planning with a portable chair. made all the difference in the world. After... | |
| Which cables and ics allow the biggest soundstage? For soundstage and spatial information I prefer solid core cables. I'm using Audioquest Slate right now and have used more expensive cables in their line. Quite a few cables have spent time in my system and everytime I go back to a solid core desi... | |

| whats a good older hdcd cd player? Short answer for me is the Resolution Audio CD-50. Excellent redbook cdp and absolutely superb HDCD player.The long answer; I got hooked on HDCD sound a few years ago when I had a high end Sony cdp paired with an Adcom GDA 700 dac. The Sony and Ad... | |
| Good budget sub for music? The Velodyne SPL-800II worked for me in a small room. Very compact with front firing woofer. It was also easy to integrate in my system. I moved up to a James EMB-1000 which is better if you have an extra $300 or so. | |
| Oppo as transport I purchased a Bel Canto DAC2 through an Agon auction about a year ago (got a great deal as I think I was the only bidder). At the time I was using a Resolution Audio CD-50 and a Linn Genki as sources. Got the Bel Canto just to try it.I used the Li... | |
| DAC as an upgrade The Bel Canto DAC2 sells for less than $700 used here regularly. Pick one up with a digital cable and determine for yourself. If the difference isn't enough or if you don't here a difference you can resell the dac. You won't lose much. Nothing ven... | |
| best speakers on AGON for about $500 I'm thinking about a PS Audio HCA-2.You might also look at the PS Audio Trio A-100. I recently purchased a Trio C-100 and am very happy with it. Cool, quiet with music coming out of total silence. The lottle box is pretty amazing after some of the... | |
| best speakers on AGON for about $500 Was going to suggest Vandersteen 1Cs until I read the high frequency issue. Actually I'd still recommend them but I replaced a pair of Paradigm Studio 60s a few years back with the 1Cs because I thought the Paradigms had a little too much energy i... | |
| Build me a system for my 11' by 15' room I have a pair of Proac Response 1.5s in a 11.5X13 room. The room is pretty well treated but I love them in here. Check my system. Not a tube fan here so no real recommendations. | |
