| Any opinions on the new Transparent MM Rex: It's not that I do not like transparent sound - as I said, I liked it a lot. In fact AQ Everest and Kilimanjaro were very close in overall sonic signature - natural and full bodied, especially in lower midrange. The problem is that both Evere... | |
| Any opinions on the new Transparent MM Forgot to add - If you are looking for a cheaper alternative - try Harmonic Technology Pro-9 speaker cable. IMO it is better sounding cable than both TA ultra w/ MM and cheaper AQ cables like Volcano, at half the price. An excellent value indeed. | |
| Any opinions on the new Transparent MM I do not know about the XL cables, but I have had TA Ultra with MM and TA Reference w/ MM on loan for couple of weeks in my system (I have very good relations with Transparent dealer).I got the Ultra first. I was generally impressed with this cabl... | |
| Difference between Marigo apparition 5.5 and 5.7 Do they have a web site ? | |

| Upgrade from Theta Data Basic II Transport - CEC? TL-51 would be a side step rather than a clear improvement over Basic II. I would go for TL-2 or Theta Jade. Alternativly, you can get a Genesis Digital Lens - it made a dramatic improvment inserted between my Theta Data Basic II CDT and Generatio... | |
| cdp/transport for trivista 21 Capt_ky - If you want to improve over your Theta Data Basic, get the Genesis Digital Lens - I got one for my Data Basic II and the effect was nothing short of spectacular. You can get one used for as little as $400 in mint condition. | |
| Help me tune my Theta Gen Va DAC "Why? If Theta had a 16v caps in there the working voltage was probably no more than 8 volts, and BG makes a STD470/16,FK470/16 and a N470/16."Sorry, I made a mistake here - I was quoting from memory. I replaced the 47uF/16V caps with 47uF/50V BG ... | |
| cdp/transport for trivista 21 It all depends on how much you wanna spend. For about $500 you can get a Theta Data Basic II or PS Audio Lambda II - unfortunately, both are long discontinued, and worse still, the transport mechanisms are no longer made/available. Muse Model 5 is... | |
| Help me tune my Theta Gen Va DAC Yes did. I have even found that I could use some lower voltage caps (6,7V instead of 16V) since the voltage was in the 3,7V-5V range, which would be about 4x cheaper, but decided to follow the original voltage values. In fact I in some cases I eve... | |
| cdp/transport for trivista 21 I have to disagree with Bigkidz. I have tried several transports and several digital cables (I have Illumination Orichid and the new AQ Raven in my rig) and found the transport to have MUCH bigger effect on sound quality than the cable itself.BTW ... | |
| Speaker cables for Vandersteen 5As? Cdw57 - glad to hear that you like KJs. I also bought a pair after extensive listening to other quality cables. It easly bested Transparent Reference w/MM among others. and the difference was not subtle.I also tried Everest, which are about 10% be... | |
| Review: Purist Audio Designs Venustas and Opis Interconnect Jfrech, you should also try to get rid of your Ref w/ XL speaker cables. I have had TA Reference w/ MM for a couple of weeks, then changed to AQ Kilimanjaro and was simply blown away. | |
| Transport recommendation for EAD DSP7000 Tonyptony: how much was the upgrade ? | |
| ARC Ref mark2 vc Supratek Chardonnay Wc65mustang: I have heard BAT 51SE vs Ref 2 mk 2 and IMO the ARC blow the BAT away. I found the BAT to sound flat and uninvolwing. |
