| how to upgrade this digital front end ? Try an Audio Tekne cd transformer between your dac and transport.It made an unbelievable improvement to an already excellent Audiomeca Mephisto II and the enkianthus dac combo. I am not sure what the technology is due to the unreadable English tra... | |
| Which speakers would be a good upgrade in a small Another vote for Piega's | |
| Siltech G5 against the rest of the world. Tkunda, It was the G5 cables I compared to the audio tekne. The differences were so subtle it is hard to justify there price. On the other hand another friend traded his audio teknecables for the Valhalla's. I guess the bottom line is to trust you... | |
| Siltech G5 against the rest of the world. Interesting timing on this post. I borrowed all siltech IC's and 2 runs of speaker cables to see if they were better than the audio tekne cables. After about 10 hours of listening we noticed a slight bit more resolution with a leaner bass. Hardly ... | |
| Best Patricia Barber's CD? I'm on a track with the last post. She's a great singer with great recordings but each cd is is the same after listening a few times. Would love to see her branch out | |
| What Power Cord for Tubed Preamp Take your time and find any good used cord. When I had the Wolcotts I didn't hear any difference from the 5 brands I listened to. I settled on the JPS power cord. | |
| Why so many Aloia products for sale? Most people are name brand buyers(Krell,Levinson,etc.). They are good products and usually get decent resale. The Aloia's maybe a little obscure in the high-end world but they are one of the best regardless of price. They are ranked with Lamm's as... | |
| Is there anyone who came back from tubes to SS? I too switched because of reliability problems[Cary,Wolcott] and on the advice of a Lamm listener I switched to Aloia. Tube replacement constant biasing took away from listening | |
| Cables that make no sense... Cables the Ultra ripoff. Its good to know everyone knows this. I wonder if anyone has purchased the $12,000 transparent cable. Why not put a bar of gold as a replacement you will also get a better trade on it down the road | |
| wich transport? The audiomeca mephisto is a most revealing transport. I'm not familiar with the kreatura. The mephist is probably the best looking component if that makes any difference | |
| Avalon Eidolon for nearfield listening? I agree with Jtinn on the Piega's. These speakers are very room friendly at half the price of the eidolon's. | |
| Opinions on Audio Tekne ARC 500 ICs? These cables are excellent. There are some good deals. I found them equal to synergistic,transparent,JPS, and nordost in my systems. Lars fredell had a great review and equalled them to his reference. | |
| Power Cord for a PS 600 I have tried Audio Tekne and JPS in the ps 300 and both sounded the same. Get any good cord and you probably won't here a difference. | |
| Dunlavy,Counterpoint synergy..... Of the cables I have used on the DunlavyIVA i found no significant difference. Check out the Cable CO. for cable rentals and you'll probably find that Dunlavy is right. | |
| Michael Green Just-A-Rack / Amp Stands I had a problem with the Just-a-rack. The paint had a reaction to the feet of my components. When I moved each piece the paint came off or the feet stuck to the shelf. I did receive one reply from email and that was it. I will try to call again. |
