"getting the tone is of course a must and given, however, The presataion and everything else set within differentation to give a holographic image of reality is 90% short commings of most cables but a few world class select few!"Agreed except that... | |
| Review: Lahave Audio Khara Speaker Nice summary Bill, I feel your love and you're not the first to convey this about this brand. Having owned Soundlabs you "know" what music is supposed to sound like. I did a lot of research on this brand a while back, was interested in a monitor d... | |
| Is anyone familiar with LaHave Audio Thermopylae? This is one of those brands that I too was really interested in and curious about, a small manufacturer out of Nova Scotia that has been in business 25+ years yet little is known. People who's ears I trust rave about them. Now this thread has rene... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? We ALL better be careful if the moderators are watching your words Charles. Maybe you should stop being so honest in your appraisals? What a joke! | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Now what did you do or say that would warrant scrutiny Charles? A case to your point Charles, the post above yours by Panhead concerning the MBL's. I too heard them at Axponia a few years back two different times during the day. First time was ok ... | |
| Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns? I personally do not nor have nor ever had the ability in assigning a numeric value to an increase in performance. It either is one of two things 1) a lateral move, maybe different but not and improvement but may initially be perceived as an improv... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? All these negatives about MF. How about the Nuvista amplifier, isn't Michael Fremer still using that amp after all these years? I'm not familiar with the brand but must say it is amazing that something so poor sounding is still around, mediocrity ... | |

| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? My most disappointing purchase was a Threshold S-200 way back when I first discovered this whole high end biz. I purchased it based on the performance of the SA-1's which were quite a different beast. It wasn't a bad sounding amp it just looked be... | |
| What most important in the sound of your cables? I too burned out on trying cables 10 years ago when I went through the "process", it's very fatiguing. The problem is finding one that doesn't rear it's head. Too fast, lean, warm, bright, detailed, not detailed enough etc. The best cables and the... | |
| What is Musicality? I don't think I've come across a better description than your's Mapman, well stated! | |
| Atlantic City casinos closing... Not to get too far off point here and certainly not to defend Insurance Companies, I'd be near the bottom of that list, but what about the insurance fraudsters ZD? Several years back my nephew who was 16 years old at the time on a learner's permit... | |
| Bose 901 series VI & Yamaha A-S2000 I'm late to this thread and the decision has been made by the OP a while ago I'm sure. First time I heard the 901 speakers was way back before I was an audiophile probably 1969 or 1970. In any case they were the first speaker I "fell in love" with... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage Jafox great recommendations for preamps on a budget! You are absolutely right I'm sure many of the vintage tube pres from ARC, CJ maybe even an older CAT would be a great alternative to many of the current budget alternatives. It this turns out to... | |
| Cleaning lady and vacuum Or putting a dimple on both dome tweeters not once but a second and LAST time after being told about the first time. What's worse is that I TOLD her before her started where the line was and to keep all dusting, cleaning and vacuuming behind that ... |
