| Need Help on Phono Cable Check on ebay and try to get the Zu Xaus phono cable. You can pick them up for under 200.00 and they are very nice. They will terminate the cable however you want it, and you get a money back trial period to see if its what your looking for. I hav... | |
| Which Headphone Amp in the $500 - $800 range If you check out the for sale forum at www.head-fi.org there is a Singlepower PPX3 with the output adapters for 5687 tubes. Its a steal at the asking price of $650. Probably some reviews out there on the PPX3 and the PPX3-slam. (which it is with t... | |
| Audio Research pre & Krell amps? I am mainly interested in the Ref.3. Not sure if it will be a little to thin in my system or not. I have used several SS preamps and none have given me the pleasure of the better tubed pres. I have owned the Ayre K-1xe, Krell KRC-HR, and still hav... | |

| Wilson Sophia II vs. Thiel CS3.7 Mert,You have no better idea about which speaker sells more or resells better than I do. yet you state these things like they are facts.Also I find it strange that you come into a thread about sonic comparisons between two speakers and you have ne... | |
| Wilson Sophia II vs. Thiel CS3.7 Elberoth2.I dont think its unfair to compare monitors with floor standing speakers in the same price range. its a given that bass responce will almost always go to the bigger speaker, but things like timbre, tone, soundstage, imaging, can be compa... | |
| Wilson Sophia II vs. Thiel CS3.7 Mert,Not sure how you can 100% guarantee resale value..But the $16K Sophias seem to be going just over $9K used and the $13K 3.7s are selling between $8-9K. So I would think resale would be a few bucks in favor of the Thiels. I have to go with Str... | |
| Krell FPB400cx coupling capacitors question Most modern tubed preamps catch the DC at the output and will not give you any problems with your amp. I have used 3-4 tubed preamps and not had any problems with my amps. It should be easy to find out the amount of DC at the output of the pre and... | |
| Has Anyone Tried RAM'S Rega Saturn Mod? If the choice was mine I would sell the Rega and put the money towards a used Exemplar 3910 and some good tubes (since the server is not set in stone) for it. Although I have not heard the modified Rega, I would avoid the RAM mods. | |
| Which cables and ics allow the biggest soundstage? I have used several brands, either all one kind, or combos of different kinds. The cables that have worked the best for me have been the silver solid core offerings from Audioquest. Sky, Niagara, Cheetah. | |
| Dead Can Dance on SACD I listened to parts of three of them and compared to the redbook versions I already have. I think they are much better. I would get them if you can. I saw on my music direct add that came today they are selling for 259.00 for the set. Glad i got i... | |
| 'they blew'em off the stage' Jethro Tull completely killed Led Zeplin the first time I saw LZ. I had never even heard of Tull back then. Left (along with many others) halfway through the LZ show. | |
