| Power Cord for Jolida JD-100 Boa2 I have a question? Why don't you recommend the Flavor 4? Thanks!I've done comparisons in at least three different systems with the Flavor 4 on the source. An Electraglide & a Michael Wolff PC both made the highs much more open and transpa... | |
| Two systems in the same room If you're happy with the presentation on jazz with the components you have, I might suggest that you move to a higher end integrated, or a tube preamp/SS (or hybrid) amp, & a pair of speakers that will do rock well: Von Schweikert, Tyler, Silv... | |
| Resolution Audio Opus 21 VS Consonance Droplet Tickfight,In my opinion, $2K will not get you what you want. Large scale orchestra music has sounded congested with every CD player I've owned or heard under maybe $3-4K used. That includes the RA Opus 21, which I found to lack weight in our syste... | |
| Two systems in the same room We did this for a while, and it worked great. SET amps with horns for one system, and a hybrid integrated with box speakers for the second system. Both ran from a single source that had two sets of outputs. There are very few systems IMO that can ... | |
| The current SOTA SACD player Guidocorona wrote:Conversely, both the NWO-2.5 and the EMM Sig I heard in Denver sounded reasonably acceptable to my ears, if not exactly overwhelming.Brainwater, I could me mistaken, but my read on Guido's comments is that the APL and the EMM Lab... | |
| Power Cord for Jolida JD-100 Samzx12, if you are asking which of the two has a brighter/more detailed sound, it would have to be the Flavor 4...at least in the applications I've heard. If it's a choice between the two, I would choose the Flavor 4 for your player. Many people ... | |
| Power Cord for Jolida JD-100 I thought the Vishnu had a clean, balanced sound to it. I also like the Michael Wolff PCs, but I don't see any on the used market right now. You might also try Audio Horizons. Their cords are under $200. They have a free home audition, I believe.... | |

| Speaker cables to go with Pass Labs XA160 Go with the Purist Aqueous - you'll be very, very happy with the results and they fit your budget!According to Tbooe's System Page, he is already using these cables. Which leads me to my question: why change? | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Alfas are cool though...old ones that is.When living in Italy 5 years ago, I drove a new Alfa. I only wish they sold them here. Phenomenal build quality, a blast to drive, and every design curve spells sex. | |
| Two big sounds got-ta face off According to the Vandersteen site (they recommend a minimum of 50W), as well as owners' comments, you are likely to run out of steam with the VAC. I've heard the 5As with a 150W SS amp, and I frankly wouldn't opt for anything less. Perhaps others ... | |
| Choice of amplifier I too would recommend the MAC. I think you will find the Levinson & McCormack gear to sound excessively bright with the Triangles. | |
| Two big sounds got-ta face off i have the chance to buy both,try them,and keep the keeperSounds like you'll have an answer once you've done this, not a note sooner. :-) | |
| Hail to Mcintosh for those who love this brand, i salute you for getting off the merry-go-round. just don't say they're the "absolute" best.Being that the "best" is arbitrary, I have to say that McIntosh has been the best for me, and for no other reason than becau... |
