| Transparent or Nordost? Just re-read the post and I was comparing the original Red Dawns not the Leif Series. | |
| Your jaw dropping cables I was most impressed with the Kubala Sonsa Emotions. But the speaker cables don't remind me of garden hoses but more like a fire hose. I'd be afraid they would pull my monitors down LOL!! Anyhow I own Nordost Frey's (they won't pull down any speak... | |
| Transparent or Nordost? No Money - I like Nordost and own the Frey's. There is only 1 dealer near me that has Transparent and MIT and I did not care for them at all. Both seemed to lack dynamics. But that's my opinion. That being said I had a Nordost demo case (when I bo... | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature Paul I requested new logos (from the distributor) the day I got mine. Not sure if I mentioned it but I was able to get the discontinued black/chrome Stand4 NOS. They look killer with the Mocha C1's. But remember that stand is for several models an... | |
| Nordost Heimdall? Honestly only you can be the judge of that. In case you are not aware the 1/2 off or more sale is because the Norse line is being replaced with the Series 2. The Baldur has been dropped and the Tyr is now added to the Norse line. I think the Heimd... | |
| Magico Q1 versus ... Dynaudio C1 MKII or Signature. I have read comments that stated they are fairly close. I haven't heard Magico's but I do own the C1 Signature | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature Paul The logo on the stands is still the same old logo. The logo on the mkII and Signatures is the new one. That's what the North American Dyn rep has told me. | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 +1 Check with the manufacturer first. I have a 5751 in place of my 12ax7 and the manufacturer of my Octave states the 12au7 can be used in place of the 12at7's. So what I have gathered is a lower gain should work in place of a higher gain tube. Bu... | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 What is the difference between 12at7 and 12ax7 ?I asked Brent Jessee that question but added the 12au7 also. He said the 12ax7 has the highest gain followed by the 12at7 then the 12au7. | |
| Advice on new cables I have 1 dealer by me that uses all MIT or Transparent cables. Personally the tonal quality is excellent but to me they lack dynamics. Now it could be the networks were not matched to the equipment and if that's the case that's the dealers fault. ... | |
| Question About NORDOST cables A pair of 2 meter Frey's for 675. Dude the retail was 2500 from my 3-15-2010 price sheet. For that price you should have gotten 2 pairs (1 spade and 1 banana) for a true bi-wire. | |
| Question About NORDOST cables Bi-wire or not has been hashed over time and time againhttp://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?fcabl&1328477568&&&/to-biwire-or-not-There never seems to be a winner in any of the discussions | |
| Question About NORDOST cables Youngatheart - Remember the Frey's are even better - but marginally. I would suggest jumpers - just don't know which ones. Didn't the Paradigm's come with factory jumpers? As far as compensation from Nordost don't count on it. That could be part o... | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 I have 2 pairs of 5751 RCA and Sylvania, all test very good. I think they are RCA Triple Mica Black Plate, from 1960's.How much do they go for.I just bought a pair of Rca 5751 triple mica black plates for 70usd. It's my single input tube and I lov... | |
| Question About NORDOST cables I don't recall exactly why Nordost is Not making bi-wire anymore but I think they found there was phase shift with the bi-wires. |
