| Pure Silver Wire Hey fthompson251, Agreed. The ICs between preamp and amp are actually G.E.8s. I auditioned a pair of Platimums as potential replacements and returned them. Could not hear any difference after a relatively short audition. Best, | |
| Used tube preamps, Cary, AR, Aesthetix, Wells...........or? I'll second the Conrad-Johnson recommendation. They made their reputation building the best Preamplifiers. Owned most, now an ART88. Suburb. | |
| LoFi Hey Mr. rvpiano, I think most of us began just loving music from a table radio or in the car. One reason you may like your low-fi set up is that you aren't locked in to one position and can now again move around and enjoy it anywhere in the room... | |
| Pure Silver Wire To the original point... solid silver is expensive and occupie only the top of a cable manufactures line. My Wireworld Platinum speaker and IC cables are silver and sound wonderful. The speaker cables are much richer sounding than the Nordost Va... | |
| «40% Of Audiophiles Are Dying And No One Is Doing Anything About It!» Here is my comment to Jay... Well Jay, appreciate your concerns. All of which are elaborated by the 809 comments before mine. That number alone tells me the situation isn't that dire. I'm in my eighties and started out with a crystal radio and a... | |
| Things we cannot be bothered by anymore No. 3... Girl singers you can't hear for the thumping band. Maybe they can't sing, just say'in. No. 2... Heavy equipment of any sort No. 1... People who hate equipment, cables and speakers who have never heard them. If you haven't heard it o... | |

| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Send the speakers in? For what possible reason? Nobody listens to them anyway. Wilson is the world's leading high end speaker company. In the final analysis their designs are tuned by critical listeners with extensive live music experience. D... | |
| Who is Roon? Roon is great. Marvelous sound quality. Tunes both Qobuz and Tidal for me. As well as my own stuff. Roon radio is great; I just listen to something I'm in the mood for and it goes on to play tracks from albums I never considered. When it play... | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. And nobody commented on Wilsons. They are usually positioned with generous toe in but... often spaced apart more and so closer to the sidewalls. Or they can be closer together with less toe in. Never my choice. And, as someone has said, about ... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. As any speaker designer knows, a really flat speaker sounds terrible. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Watt-Puppy 8s? Really? These speakers are 20-30 years old. They haven't used that tweeter since then. Does this guy actually listen to the speakers? He spends the entire video talking about measurements. I owned the Watt-Puppy 7s and loved... | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy According to many, they do play all music well. You'll never know unless you go listen to them with an open mind mind. | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy We all hear differently and have our own preferences. As it should be. Some seem put off by a speaker you have never heard; maybe resenting its unafordability. There are many successfully speaker brands giving everyone choices. The magazines m... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT I believe most would consider my system high resolving. It's about $150K at retail of C-J class A, Wilson, Rega, Shunyata, WW Platinum cables and dCS stuff. That said the digital connections are all ethernet, as dCS recommends. The "streamer" is... |
