| If boulder is tops what is second tier? There are a number of things that were likely said at CES (and what in the world, exactly, was a consumer doing at CES, and why in the world was someone attempting to grasp sound quality at a trade show?!?)I assume that's directed at me since I am... | |
| If boulder is tops what is second tier? Thank you Stiltskin.I'm not surprised that a quality rig like that responded positively to a high quality cable. Perhaps someday it will be considered "common knowledge" and all audiophiles will be vindicated for having heard the difference :^). I... | |
| In-wall speaker recommendations You and I came to the same conclusion. After much research I decided it had to be the B&W 7NT (Nautilus) in walls plus B&W install kits. I am extremely pleased with how it turned out, they are excellent, especially considering their size a... | |
| Balanced or single ended leads from your arm. Raul, agree with you and others here. Good solid sharing of info on hooking up our phono cartridges.Gregadd; What you prefer Swiss cables over the Purist? Blasphemy!:-)I can't tell if your teasing me with the smiley face or wondering why I changed... | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? Grateful, your last name is not "Dead" is it? If yes, would you autograph some LP's for me? | |
| Balanced or single ended leads from your arm. The Aesthetix Io phono stage has balanced (and RCA) input jacks so I rewired my Walker Proscenium with cryo treated XLR's in place of factory RCA's to take advantage. The result was a nice improvement. Even if a phono does not offer full balanced ... | |
| If boulder is tops what is second tier? All of your opinions on phono stages are valid, I posted my comments because regardless of the phono stage chosen, cables play a big role in the total performance package and should not be ignored.Does anyone really think the Boulder phono would w... | |
| If boulder is tops what is second tier? Sorry Pedrillo, Boulder is not at the top of any list except extremely expensive for "decent" performance. The owner / designer is the same person that told me in his room at CES that ALL cable and ALL power cords are BS, they make NO difference a... | |

| Walker Audio Proscenium Turntable: Photo Essay Yes :^) I will be in Denver (the truth this time).If Lloyd is there we must gang up on him and give him trouble. Jim Aud will be there from Purist so maybe all of us can go to the Mexican place after the show.Last year we took up about 20 chairs, ... | |
| Walker Audio Proscenium Turntable: Photo Essay Slipknot1, you got gypped. For my 40K I got Lloyd Walker and Natalie Portman to set up my Proscenium. When it was all over Lloyd ask me how it sounded and I said YES, Natalie is indeed very beautiful. | |
| Do Audiophiles blow speakers? Nrchy, did you hear about the terrorist that tried to blow up a bus?Burned his mouth on the exhaust pipe. | |
| Importance of warm up. I hope this helps someone One does not need to approve of what format the CD is transferred to, the point is the CD player warmed up and sounded better.I've had the same experience just by listening. As for cassette, perhaps Blueranger has a portable player or automobile w... | |
| Audyn-Cap MKP-QS 400V for EAR 834P ??? The author of that test is very detailed, having decided by listening over long periods of time and with a variety of caps. He also commented that results vary, depending on equipment design and placement in the circuity. He even commented that th... | |
| Calling Aesthetix IO Users In addition to Patricks (correct) comments, the plus and minus RCA jacks of an Aesthetix Io are simply the XLR outputs, separated into their two single ended parts. A good place to use this would be If you had an phase inverting amplifier, the min... |
