| Transfiguration Temper W vs. V-sound differences ? Thomas: You indicate the staging is different. How so ? I don't know if you listen primarily to orchestral music, but if you do---or, judging by other types of musical genre you prefer---could you tell me which version seems to do a better job of ... | |
| Is the moscode 600 a great amplifier? Several years back, I owned the Moscode 300 (in fact, two of them). I had the opportunity to compare a burned in 600 with the 300. To my ears, the all tube 600 sounded somewhat soft in comparison with the hybrid 300. It simply lacked the life of t... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Regarding power cords, Eliot at Synergistic told me this: "Our current power cables have two of the three Tesla technologies incorporated in them. Zero Capacitance and Quantum Tunneling. Older SR power cords can be upgraded." | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Good news---the glare problem I've had with my Supratek Cortese preamp seems to have been eliminated. The preamp paid a visit to Kevin Covi, who told me he was certain he found the reason for the annoying overemphasis I was hearing in the mid to u... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Stevem1960: Some of your last comments certainly are refreshing. Your reference to the sound of the little Marantz in comparison to the $5000 cd replay system and the $2000 worth of fancy cables probably strikes the kind of chord that sounds famil... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I just wanted to respond to the well intended comments Stevem1960, who says, "...Opus88 describes the sound of horns...with emphasized upper mids on his Cortese. I would have thought this is how horns are *supposed* to sound.....It is feasible tha... | |
| Teres still the way to go? $400.00 for shipping and a custom case ? How can that be justified, especially since it's not coming in from outside the country ? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Eccletique...Thanks very much for your concerned and very interesting response. The audio experiences you relate cause me to smile, because I am quite familiar with several of the components (other than the Siltech and Goertz cables, the VPI 'tabl... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Stiltskin, Zachzdb and Slowhand...Just reading your comments gives me a much better supportive feeling about hopefully finding some solution to the matter facing both maril555 and me. Very importantly, Slowhand is absolutely correct when he assert... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I want to say that I appreciate sincerely you Audiogoners who have expressed a desire to help out with the issue at hand, and I would imagine that Maril555 feels the same way. Jtgofish, your comments about silver cable might bear looking into. For... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century A degree in psychology tells one nothing about the person who received it. Beyond that, I will not waste any more time trying to get through to a stone wall. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Zachzib: That was quite a reply you gave ! Let me deal with your points, one by one. First, in general, from the overall tone of your response, I may have hit a sensitive chord with you about your own equipment. To get to specifics, no, I do not c... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Type in synergistic research tesla accelerator cables + prices, then look for the fatwyre or cable company link. Click on it and it will take you to comments on and a listing of prices for the entire line. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Maril555...Yes, the argument that "other" factors are at work is the standard one. Sometimes, that assertion is accurate, sometimes it isn't. I do feel pretty confident though that Mick is correct here, and I too trust his judgment. I will continu... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Could it be that Marill555 and I are the only Supratek owners facing the glare issue ? Probably not. Maybe it's all like the kind of experience I had a number of years back, when I owned Apogee Diva speakers. While they did things (in a positive s... |
