What Harmonic tech cables should I used for CD
I had hoped the Truthlinks would have done better as well especially condidering what I paid for them. The largest difference is that the high frequency and upper mids are smeared and grainy on the Truthlinks in comparison to the Crosslinks. I use... 
JM Labs Beryllium
My friend has a pair of the JM Electra 936's. These are a very nice speaker. I really enjoy listening to them when I make the 14 hour drive out to his place once or twice a year. They in my opinion blow the CDM 9NT out of the water. I auditioned t... 
Classical question
Jim,I listen to just about everything that is good. From hard core punk rock to jazz to blues to classical. I have been getting into classical more and more lately. Still listen to heavy metal too though. I may be 43 but I'm not going down easy. I... 
Essay bashing Primedia, Stereophile - and Audiogon
Still, on the whole, Stern is right about the industry - his abilities as reviewer not withstanding. Having access to good sites on the internet gives us an avenue other than the printed page to find the info we are looking for. Sterophile et al a... 
What Harmonic tech cables should I used for CD
I have a 1.5m run of HT Truthlinks. In both my system as well as my friends they don't sound as good as the Cardas Crosslink which is Cardas's entry level cable. I do like the HT speaker cable though.I agree with Dave above as to what DAC sounds b... 
Biamping question...
Fishcall,If you have the Studio CC as your center you can biamp it as well. You could use one ST-3140 for left and let's say woofer on center and the other for right and tweeter on center. So you would need two ST-3140's.I have the Paradigm Studio... 
Classical question
I've just ordered the disc through Amazon.ca. Will let you know if successful or not. Of course I had to order a couple of others while I was at it. Sometimes it would be easier with a cheaper hobby. Thanks again. 
Classical question
Jim,Thanks for your input. I checked out Tower and can't tell 100% if that's the tune because it's so short on the Tower playback but it could be it. In any case, I gave the rest of the tracks a listen and I don't think I'd be disappointed if I bo... 
Classical question
Sjpin, thankd for your response. As I said earlier, K.313 is listed in the credits and is played during the movie itself. The piece I'm looking for comes only during the closing credits of the movie. It's very sad and moving. I've been trying for ... 
Dented Tweeter?
I had a pushed in dust button on my old JBL's I used to have years ago - the two year old won/ speaker lost. I tried sticking a bent pin in to work it out but met only with mild success. The thing did pop out eventually from playing music so that ... 
Imaging and soundstage
What if you have two woofers in each tower? Would you then average the distance from the center of the two woofers? 
best low $ auto-reverse cassette decks?
Denon used to make some fairly decent inexpensive decks. Check out for one of those used. I have a Denon DRW 840 dual well deck I bought in the mid 90's and am quite happy with it. My only complaints are that it's not a three head deck and that th... 
Album which you have listened to most?
Tool - Aenima, if you like heavier music this one is excellent. Decent sound as well. Unusual for stuff this heavy.Joni Mitchell - Herija, after reading another post here on Agon about people's favourite Joni albums I picked up this one at a disco... 
Are Virtual dynamics speaker cables worth the $$$
Let me retract that last statement. I put the VD biwire Auditions back in and much prefer them to the HT Pro-11. Much less grain. I do think the HT's image a little better but not by much. 
The Listening Chair - What type do you use?
I use a LA-A-BOY leather love seat. Both halves recline. Good listening for two. Although high backed it is very comfortable and doesn't mess things up as bad as you'ld expect. Still have excellent imageing. What price comfort, eh? Coffee table on...
