| The best Neutral Power cord ? Yeah Brulee I also LOL at *the performance sure sounded neutral tonight*. I have seen the word neutral used so often in trying to describe components that it can really lead to confusion in knowing where it lays. And yes I agree for whatever reaso... | |
| Audio Research transistor gear vs. tubes I haven't heard the later ARC solid state but their older stuff(D-200 D400) didn't hold a candle to their tube gear of the time in direct comparisons, the Classic series which are my least favorite ARC tube products. Would certainly like to hear f... | |
| Bel Canto DAC 1 Upgrade Well Sliddi I don't have to read what others say, I listened. Unless there was a problem with the chip which Mark Schifler never indicated to me through several e-mails, the Bel Canto is a better unit by a good margin, at least tonally. Other than... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Yes indeed Robba, definitely a voice of experience and wisdom. | |
| Best Customer Service (Manufacturer) Bobby Palkovic of Merlin Music is as good as they get. He will do whatever is necessary to have his speakers sound their best down to making recommendations on room treatments providing he has the information. He ALWAYS will spend the time to help... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Have been following this thread with great interest although I can't add anything more than has been previously stated. If you can DEFINITELY hear a difference other than anomalities from the transfer, I can't. Have any of the proponents that note... | |
| Bel Canto DAC 1 Upgrade I'm with you Charlie. So who is going to volunteer and let us know the results? | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables Well the biggest I've seen were Kimber cables don't remember the model # but they looked quite similar to a Blue Indigo smake in both markings and diameter. Cost 8-10k I believe for an 8' pair. How did they sound you ask? Well I listened to them o... | |
| speaker cable Hi Sam I am currently using the Harmonic Tech truthlinks and really love them, no reason to change them for now though I don't doubt they can be bettered by the MIT IC matched with the speaker cables. I don't particularly want to find out at this ... | |
| speaker cable Well the analysis plus Oval 9's have been in my system for about 3 months and I consider them a great value. They are smooth, reveal all the music and I thought I would be living with them for a good long while until.....recently, when I listened ... | |
| CABLES for Tubes? I don't necessarily agree that silver cables are always the way to go with tubes. The other factor is the speakers themselves. I have tried the Harmonic Tech Pro Silway silver cables with my all tube system AND the Merlin VSM-SE speakers. The Harm... | |
| Bel Canto DAC 1 Upgrade Charlie The Bel Canto group is a low key bunch if ever the description fit. I just sent my DAC back a month or so back, a problem with the crystal chip. Spent an hour talking about music in general and their products in particular with Jay. He nev... | |
| 1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma LOL Joe very funny!!!! | |
| Best Holiday CDs? Mannheim Steamroller's 3 albums are quite nice and have many different pieces along with the standard fare - interesting arrangements. And of course Arthur Fiedler's "Pop's Christmas Party" originally released on RCA I believe in 1959 is a true cl... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? Doug you just made me remember my Yamaha DSP-1 signal processor with matching M-35 4 channel amp that I used in the same configuration as you are currently using. There are 2 ambient channels for the front and 2 for the rear. Can keep the volume l... |
