| New Helix PowerSnakes Cable From Shunyata ? Guido,I like your thoughts on the variation in sound between the two powercords.I also noticed that you used an Exact Power EP15A ... why not a Hydra 8? ... I have some friends who've auditioned the 2 against each other and they greatly prefered t... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Opalchip why are you taking potshots at Samuel? Why can't a Wilson Maxx2 owner and "industry insider" defend his choice? ... seems like none of us could possibly defend our points of view then, because we don't all own the perfect equipment?I own ... | |
| What SS Int Amp to match with Sonus Faber? You may want to try out the YBA passion integre, which is above the 2K budget but worth the extra cost. At 100 wpc it is more than enough to drive my 88 db Revelation Audio Mistral S6 monitors. I imagine the SF speakers would be a breeze for it an... | |
| Sonus Faber vrs Magnepan Go with SF, there are certain advantages to be had with them. Efficiency means you will not need monster amps to drive them, which usually saves space and leaves some room for other expenses too. Those who consider Bryston to be musical have perha... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx "Dave Wilson at the pinnacle of his game"? ... are you sure? ... that he won't put out an X-3? ... c'mon OB, let's be frank about it.We all love DIFFERENT gear ... now can we all at least agree on that and just end this slander.It's so silly.Why d... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Well a lot of people slander the above mentioned review, some based on their allegiance to the Wilson line, others based on their allegiance to the magazines that are insulted by R. Hardesty and some just purely due to their rebellious spirit whic... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole 192 MK II se upgrade The $700 upgrade through Globe Marketing takes the Capitole MKII and upgrades its output board to SE status ... but it does not modify the linestage (to add more analog inputs and digital outputs) ... that's what costs $2000. Basically you can get... | |
| Nova Utopia Be $38K - Are they good? I heard the Grande Utopia Be's at the montreal 2005 show running off a YBA passion 1000 stereo amp. Source was the esoteric UX-1 player with the YBA passion 1000 preamp (with the large external powersupply). I'm not sure what interconnects and spe... | |
| Difficult Choice you should really try to listen to all these individual speakers before you settle on a choice ... I would surely chose the Acapellas over the Avantgarde's as long as the power is there to drive them ... their horns are better built to withstand t... | |
| $5000 or under speaker secommendations? Martin Logan are very good, I use them exclusively in the HT system but they do need very musical gear to sound pleasant, otherwise they are VEEERY revealing ... beware here! ... however you can never forget their sound if you like it. | |
| What preamp goes with sim audio w-5? true to the point audio4ever, you also fail to mention that unless your cd collection comprises reference recordings only, you will quickly stop listening to music altogether with the sim audio setup you mentioned above.As far as "euphonic, colore... | |
| Difficult Choice I second szutinglee on his opinion. Acapella sounds amazing but you need higher efficiency (and higher price) Acapellas if you want to use the Lamm's to drive them.Avantgardes are good too, probably a better match for your Lamm amps.Wilson definte... | |
| Review: Denon APl 3910 CD Player just tried them upside down with the steel plates ... sounds hollow compared to the double stacked config. and I had a hard time centering them under the rollerblocks when upside down ... back to double stacked configuration now ... whew, I can re... | |
| Review: Denon APl 3910 CD Player Brainwater and Puremusic, thank you for the input ... very much appreciated. I will consider the Elrod Statement for the amp, I may be able to just pick up a used one here on a'gon and turn it around if it does not fit in my current setup ... I ha... | |
| $5000 or under speaker secommendations? Revelation Audio Mistral S6 with sub6, one of the best combinations out there for under $5000, made my prior watt/puppies 7.1 sound lacking in musicality and easily just as open ... I love that revelator tweeter coupled with a morel midrange drive... |
