| Do Transports Matter??? The transport + the AC cord that is on it have a huge impact over the overall sonics of any systemKF | |
| To add DAC or replace CDP? What power cords do you have in your system?KF | |
| PS Audio vs Bel Canto vs Musical Fidelity shootout I lovoe it when people spend some time and put some thought into a review. Great job!KF | |
| I need help, my system died 1st Ask yourself how the system sounded with the other cables you were demoing before...Sometimes when you hear something that is better it puts your system sound in a different perspective. If this is not the case....2nd What did you do over vaca... | |
| Review: Pure Note Epsilon Reference Interconnect Has anyone compared the Pure Note ICs to the Jena Labs Symphony ICs? I am testing out some Jena Labs right now, and for me they set the bar for ICs under $2k/1M. If you have not heard the Jena Labs ICs, they are worth a shot... heh heh, especially... | |
| "Aesthetically pleasing" DAC??? MBL not only looks good, but if you can afford it, it sounds pretty darn good as well.KF | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Eminents, I had never heard of the Croft until your post. So I looked up the piece. The Croft may cost about half of the Supratek, but it DOES NOT have a phono stage. The phono stage of the Supratek itself justifies the $2500 price tag. The Suprat... | |
| Lamm or Edge solid state ? I know an Edge dealer, and he told me the only other amps he would own than the $30k Edge monos are the LAMM M1.1 or M2.1 amps. It really depends on the rest of your gear you are matching it to.KF | |
| complete this system How much can you afford to spend?I would avoid the AZ Satori speaker cables. Go with the Audience AU24 speaker cables. They are quite superior to the Satori. Audience is fairly inexpensive used as well.Cardas uses Maggies for his reference. But I ... | |
| Hovland hp-100 remote in the future? No idea, but I count 7 ads here at Audiogon now for HP-100 preamps. What gives????? Is Hovland coming out with a new preamp to replace it? KF | |
| Most "Non-Digital" Sounding CDP Marakanetz, aside from the price, the $37k MBL combo is the most analogue sounding digital I have ever heard. It is flat out the best sounding digital I have ever heard. But I still think that $10k of phono could make it sound like so-so. My point... | |
| Most "Non-Digital" Sounding CDP A $37k MBL Transport and DAC front end is about as close to analogue as I have heard. It made the Capitole II sound well... not-so-good (it better for over four times the price).Anyway, most 16 bit digital just does not sound at all like decent vi... | |
| Song intros that really grab you? ? If we are talking rock:Queen "Fat Bottom Girls", "Another One Bites the Dust", "Under Pressure", "We Will Rock You/We are the Champions" David Bowie: "Space Oddity" Probably any song off of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. I love this alb... | |
| Vocals vs. Instrumental. Cheap Rotel vs. Aragon??? IMHO it does not take much to get warmer than the Aragon. I have tried Aragon amps in the past and in general found them very dry and cold. If you are looking for an amp that maybe a bit better than your Rotel, I would look at Monarchy monoblocs (... | |
| Is there a cd player that sounds close to an LP? The digital that I have heard that sounds closest to an LP is $37k MBL digital front end. The problem is that the digital medium of the CD is in itself flawed. I really do not think a CD is ever going to sound like an LP. SACD and beyond medium MA... |
