| What happened here? The Viborg connectors are Rhodium over copper. (Cerious Matrix). It probably is the copper, strange how it was able to pulverize like that from underneath the Rhodium coating. | |
| Table for your Turntable? Show ‘em offf! Mine is a professional measurement table of 200lb granite with rubber feet sitting on a tripod metal leg construction that allows perfect balancing. 250lb total. I can jump up and down in front of it with a record playing and there is no audible ... | |
| Classical music listening... what is a better source High Rez or Vinyl? Bottom line the recording quality of the CD or vinyl is the driver if both analog and digital systems are of high quality. My Esoteric CD player can easily beat mediocre vinyl recordings. If everything is perfect vinyl will edge out CD/SACD. I hav... | |
| Synergistic Research Galileo SX Power cord. (Opinions on sound quality appreciated). Misunderstanding, question is not how you card afford it. Price is relative in this hobby, it's a personal decision how much someone can and wants to spend on an item. Question is how is the cable besting what has come before? Soundstage, timber, ... | |
| Synergistic Research Galileo SX Power cord. (Opinions on sound quality appreciated). I am curious, this is a $6000 power cord. Ozzy you have tried many cords before and build your own. What does this cord provide extra to justify the cost over a up to $2k cord? | |
| Synergistic Research FEQ or Atmosphere Excellent feedback thank you | |
| Synergistic Research FEQ or Atmosphere Thanks for the info Ozzy. So why did you keep the FEQs? How do they impact the sound? | |
| Favorite cable brand. Wow, 50 answers 47 different names. Just shows that many ways lead to musical enjoyment. It puts the what is the best question into perspective.I use Cerious, I didn’t see that name yet or maybe I read over it. | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo The wife comment was funny. Who needs to retire if one can buy 300k speakers instead. However Wilson would likely give him the VIP price as Fremer putting them in his basement is free advertisement worth thousands. | |
| Odyssey Khartago ES or PS Audio Stellar S300? I had the Karthagos and then Kismets. I remember liking the Karthagos better. Every show Klaus ranks in the best room lists. The prices are fair, but the wait time is not as he is usually backlogged for a reason. Easy choice. | |
| Is an ARC LS17SE a significant upgrade over SP16L? I had the LS17SE for 6 months, a Primaluna Dialogue preamp bested it with more organic sound. I suspect you have to go up higher in the ARC range to get better sound. | |
| Turntable Power Cord Upgrade I would be interested what people hear with different cords. I tried 2 cables on my ref 2 power supply. Can’t tell a difference over the stock cord. | |
| New Herron VTPH 2A versus used Audio Research Reference 2 Phono I have not heard the ARC, but the phono pre upgrade topic has not been on my mind since I bought the Herron a few years ago.just all around fantastic, soundstage, punch, clarity, all there. Is there different, sure, but at this price level the Her... | |
| What room treatment product have transformed your room or audio system? Vicoustic DC2 Skyline diffuser combined with GIK corner traps and absorption panels and level 3 HFTs provided an excellent and balanced sound. | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? Audioquest Midnight and Sterling in the second configuration. 20 years old. Still sound good to my ears. |
