| Need interconnect between Nagra pre to power amp I think you should try the Argento VDM, it will make the other cabls you mentioned seem very overpriced. I use it between my 300B power amps and the Audio Aero Capitol 24/192. Picking the Argento over the Nordost and Cardas Golden Cross was the ea... | |
| Very good Balanced XLR cable, suggestions? I think silver is the way to go, since it is a better conductor than copper. My experience with various silver cables has lead me to the small brand Argento which uses much more silver than other brands. They also use solid silver plugs both for i... | |
| DIY home audio advice Go for a design with a 1,25" and a 7" accuton driver. I think you will find plenty of help on madisound forum.For amps I would go for a Pass copy of the Aleph models. I heared a pair of the Marten speakers with those drivers and found it to be ver... | |
| Wadia, Audio Aero, Meridian, BAT and BOW I have never heared anything better than the Audio Aero Capitol 24/192 but I have not auditioned the Wadia 861. The Capitol in is another class than the EMC mk. I. Have not auditioned the mk. II. What makes the Captitol so great is that it makes t... | |
| Grado SR325 vs RS-1 I have not heared the RS-1, but Since both drivers are small absolut terms I think the larger driver would prove to sound more dynamic with deeper bass.I think that both models will do really well with all kinds of music. | |
| Grado SR325 vs RS-1 I have a friend who just upgraded his sennheiser HD 580 to rs-2 and he choose the rs-2 over the rs-325.I went to the store with him and have to agree with him. The RS-2 are fuller and yet even more detailed. Most important they are easier to liste... | |
| Best progressive scan DVD player for under 1500??? Try the danish brand Thule they make a model called DVD 250 B and another called DVD 250. The DVD 250 is only a drive with video dacs but no music dacs. The DVD 250 B has music dacs and balanced outputs. They both use 12 bit color video dacs which... | |

| Where is the weak chain in my system? I think you have a fine system and might want to look into the acoustics of your room. (standing waves, 1. reflection both wall and floor etc.). If you would like to change something you could try to go to the web site of Argento cables and take a... | |
| ultimate interconnect recommendations Hello Thsalmon During your tour of the worlds finest interconnects I think that it would be very wise to listen to the cables from Argento. They represent fantastic sound at all price levels but the top of the line "VDM" are simply fantiastic. I u... | |
| Need some wisdom comparing planars Hello TimwatMy advise would be to get a pair of used ESL-63, and use them with a 50-100 watt tube amplifier (ARC, C-J, SF, BAT, JJ etc.) and some Argento wire(breathtaking wire).Quad is the mother of all ESLs and are in some ways stil a leading de... | |

| Any speaker cable's sound quality just blown you away? I would have to go with Argento VDM reference 2x3m. No other brand has that much inter transient silence (pure black), complet control of the extremes, and ease to the sound. Simply no other cable from the big boys are even close.www.argento.dkUlrik | |
| Best Turntable: Rockport or Goldmund? You might want to listen to Transrotor and Nottingham Analog before doing anything. |
