| Audioquest Sky VS Kimber 1030 SE It depends of your system synergy but Kubala Sosna or Acrolink have some very good products for example. | |
| Audioquest Sky VS Kimber 1030 SE I know both, i think you can find better cables.The Sky is ok but too expensive for what it does, the Kimber 1030 is special... very colored cable imho, with it you get a lot of air but once you understand what it really does you want to remove it. | |
| Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player? I received mine a few days ago.Outperformed my Esoteric UX3SE in every area just out of the box... i setup a HTPC with ffdshow for the DVD playback using the USB link to the CD77... now i got a better picture and a clearly better sound.It's more d... | |
| Cable elevators I bought 6 cables elevators : i couldn't hear any differences.It just convenient when you need to clean the floor... but nothing more :) | |
| Most resolving, transparent amps. I think I like some meat on the bones...If you miss the meat then you don't have a transparent system, just a lean one.Real transparency includes the meat. | |
| Most resolving, transparent amps. I love both Nuforce Ref 9SE and OTL amps (Navison or Atmasphere), they are both very detailled and transparent.Nuforce works very nicely on hard to drive speakers but if the speaker are easy to drive the air, image and layering of the OTL amps hav... | |
| What would you change? I owned a GamuT D200, imho it is bright, edgy and only works fine on very easy to drive speakers. | |
| Best Amp + PreAmp for Esoteric X-03 The only important synergy occurs between amps and speakers.A good source will work everywhere, a good pre too imho, so maybe you could try a few amps with your speakers and forget about the source (which i really love). | |
| GEC KT88 single-getter vs. triple-getter tubes You could also try the Chinese GEKT88, they are head and shoulders above other current production KT88 tubes i tried in my system.They also are very affordable.I did not had the chance to test a GEC NOS yet. | |
| Melody SHW1688 anyone recommend it? One of my customers compared the 1688 and the ModWright and told me the later was better.More balanced, faster with a better bass clarity.He also told me that the 1688 was *a bit* edgy in the upper mids. | |
| Amplifiers for Talon Hawk monitors You should try a Nuforce amp, a 9SE for exemple. | |
| Tact Pre Amps My 2.0S was totally modified with external wordclock, top quality diodes and rectifiers, blackgate NX etc...The A/D and D/A boards sounded much better after the modifications but still not very good. | |
| Best spikes for speakers It doesn't change everything for sure but i have the time and possibility to listen to a lot of products and i only speak about things i have experienced.You are free to spend your dollars where you want, i am free to say that imho differences bet... | |
| Best spikes for speakers I'm a professionnal hifi seller.I heard a lot of different spikes (GoldMund, Sommercable, Real cable, Sound anchor, Soundcare and generic brands etc...) under a lot of different speakers and components...All the metal spikes sounds the same... but... | |
| Best spikes for speakers All the spikes sounds the same imho, waste of money. |
