| Stunning cable comparison Try www.mapleshaderecords.com and their $20 jumpers.They have a return policy and if you are impressed-upgrade to the Omega Mikros.I believe that those "boot-straps" are keeping you from making progress else-where.Everything will improve by removi... | |

| What would one replace Nordost Valhalla with?? Contact Lloyd walker about his Silent Source cables {610-666-6087}.30 day home audition? | |
| Electrostatic Speakers/SS amp - what tube preamp? I will second the SF choice.The SFL-2 is much better than the SFL-1{not sure where Sig.version comes in}.Possibly,the terra Song SS-1 or Marsh P2000.Are you using digital or analog.Digital always sounded better using this amp than did my 46K analo... | |
| Newbie to analog: Hi end rigs $2-5K on used market Give Audio Advancements/Hart a call {973-875-8075+factory direct}.The Eurolab table with a Morch/RB with Incognito wiring or Golden Gate arm and a Clearaudio Sigma Wood.$1600 +arm +$850-900 for Clearaudio.If you can afford it,go for the heavier pl... | |
| Help with speaker upgrade The smaller Silverlines sound better than their bigger speakers.Better coherancy with fewer crossovers.I don't believe the Sonatas will play very loud.Just a thought.Good luck! | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sig, Von Schweikert VR-4 MOD, VR-5 I have a problem with Von Schweikert Audio.Their products are not consistent from unit to unit.In 98 CES,VSA loaned "us" a set of VR-6s {retail:$12,500}.They were the best speakers I have heard ,period.After that show,many bought the 6s and were d... | |
| Why little mention of Air Tight on Agon? Noble110, You might try installing an IEC connector and experiment with power cords.Replace those binding posts and replace the internal wire {I used a cryo'd 35ga. silver },not to mention tube dampers {maybe the Mapleshade}.These mods will improv... | |
| Need A Quick Education Don't base your decision on specs.Give a call to Bruce Jacobs/Sound World at:920-733-8539.They allow for home demonstration on many models.Good specs don't translate into good sound.Good luck! | |
| Why little mention of Air Tight on Agon? I owned the ATM-3s.A nice amp.The supplied EL-34s failed after 6 months.Repleced with AEG EL-34s from Art Monzano-no comparison to the original Siemens I heard.Finally put Siemens in and lasted for five years.Binding posts and attached power cord ... | |
| 3-Way Crossover's and Amp selection? It would be best to use other B+K amps to keep the sonic and imaging characters in tact.Depth and ambience cues are portrayed differently,depending on design.I assume that you will then remove the internal crossovers? | |
| Speaker Balance The visual "center" of the room,may not be the acoustic center.You will probably need to move the speaker that is having trouble imaging outside the panel further away from the wall.Be careful using absorbative materials to "damp"first reflections... | |
| Best mid-size speaker, cost no object Take a listen to the Kharma 3.2. | |
| Recommendations of CD player for my system Had you thought about adding a DAC?There has been some discussion concerning the Timbre TT-1 {645 or so}.Its' sonic character will be along the same line as the Planet.You will gain in soundstaging and detailing.Use caution when deciding upon a di... | |
