| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? All depends on 1. whether the carpet is wool or synthetic; 2. the carpet's warp and weft; 3. which direction the fibers are vacuumed in vis-à-vis the cables lying on them. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Bruckner 9 coincides nicely with Christmas Eve. Again bucking the canonical, I've put on Gerd Schaller with the Philharmonie Festiva playing the (heavens forfend!) completed version with the newly reconstructed fourth movement. We shall see. | |
| Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"? And there you have it. Many people like the Nordost "detail", but many others realized along ago that they manufacture some of the brightest cables in the business. | |
| Beginner Audiophile. How to chose a right amp? Recommendation for my setup? OP: if you go the Vincent route, you can deal directly with Audio Advisor. Some of their phone-answerers are quite helpful, and they can also fill you in on any deals. Also, I believe they have a 30 day trial period on everything. | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC I have the Luxman D-05u and it bettered the Bryston BCD-3. The current line-up includes -06u and -08u. New models just being released will be D-03x and D-10x, not sure if anything in between.OP: got mine from Audio Exchange in Richmond, and whil... | |
| NEW PAYPAL AUDIOGON PAYMENT RULES As discussed in the previous thread, this is surely an innovation designed for reporting to the IRS. And if you have "merchant" status,......…….well...... | |
| Considering Rogue Audio or P.S. Audio I had a constant low-level hum both mechanically (transformers) and through the loudspeakers from my Cronus Magnum II. I tried everything under the sun to reduce this--I documented some of my experiments a double of years ago on this forum. Noth... | |

| Merry Christmas! Already done with Roman Saturnalia/winter solstice. The Fathers of the Church were 3-4 days off, but calendars back then weren't super reliable. | |
| Tannoy Prestige Stirling You could also take a look at the newer Fyne brand, which has been getting a lot of new press. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Listening to the relatively recent Bruckner 8 with Remy Ballot and the Upper Austrian Youth Symphony Orchestra on Gramola (on SACD). So far so good. Very natural sound. I have Wand and Haitink on hand if I feel like a comparison.@newbee The Vie... | |
| My stereo receiver is a little too bright. Can a cable help me out? Excellent advice to run it for a few hundred hours before you make any decisions.But in answer to your question: the "usual suspects" would be Cardas Cross, Golden Cross, Golden Reference, Acoustic Zen Matrix, Triode Wire Labs, mid-range Wireworld... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? I keep telling you guys, any riser made of any material (ceramic, acrylic, wood, plastic, paper, etc.) that touches the floor, whether it's carpet, wood, tile, concrete, whatever, is not going to be as effective as suspending the cables from the c... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Up to Bruckner 7 and clearly my favorite so far.I know this is backwards, but those opening bars of the slow movement sound so Mahler-esque.I have the Chailly; thinking about getting the Giuliani/Vienna. Any other strong recommendations? | |
| Considering the option of "DSP speakers" Has anyone listened to the Dutch & Dutch speaker? |
