| Review: Synergistic Research resolution Refference X2 active Interconnect Kenscollick Thanks. Me too. Yes I'm already using another SR cable, the Acoustic Ref. In fact I've tried the Accelerator too, but opted instead for the AR. Prevailing issues are likely going to force me to sell the Resolution ref X2, another set o... | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear I'd say the short answer is "Yes".BUT perhaps one should define what is meant here by True Audiophile first. Eh?Are audio nuts, (to supplant the aforementioned), only those who trudge the less traveled path? Buying only the esoteric and eclectic... | |
| This getting ridiculous / a third Hi Def format Good news! Thanks. My confusion level on the new HD formats needed some greater level of distress. this should help.Lowered production costs, and increased quality might prove out. however, another format likely will just add to the confusion and ... | |
| What CD Player can top this Sony xa 777es. Lots of ways to go with it and a solid to excellent performer depending upon the setup. Naturally. | |
| Review: Silverline Audio Sonata III Speaker Nyctc7 You're welcome, the pleasure is all mine. It's always a pleasure to address a product that meets or exceeds one's expectations. The fact I bought them the same as anyone else would usually have to and got no 'reviewer discount' or accomodat... | |
| RECOMMEDATIONS FOR AC RECEPTACLE I do agree, "good is the enemy of the best"... but I'll take a different tact.I don't think it's the outlet adding to the problem. it maybe is helping to show it though.I've four dedicated lines. Worried about outlets a goodly bit. Leaned on my ex... | |

| Best Way to Approach System Building Get in where ya fit in... In other words, just start. The audio nut curse, finances, and good values will keep you moving along quite easily there after.I set out to simply upgrade my quite good BAT VK5i preamp early this year. that was all I want... | |
| Review: Music Interface technologies Shotgun S2 Proline 1M Interconnect Addendum:I found that the more MIT cables I had in the system the more mechanical sounding the rig became. Adding simply one here or there, be it Magnum or Shotgun series gave fine results as these two series of interconnects provide excellent dyn... | |
| Componets first, cables second? ...i am available for cable and component testing too. Double or single blind tests. Naturally. | |
| Componets first, cables second? Everything makes a difference!What that difference is remains to be seen/heard. How much it costs for that difference/improvement is up to the person laying down the duckets. Always.Ive had the opportunity to employ my main system cabling in or o... | |
| Wood v. Metal for stands. Is there a clear winner? daveGood for you.I think sometimes, the stands are not unlike wires. It's all about the fit with respect to the rest of the gear and environment. In my case, mucho mass works well.. | |
| Wood v. Metal for stands. Is there a clear winner? Now that all the gear (mostly) is onto the SA rack... I have to admit there is indeed a positive change in system performance, bass impact & resolution, and inaging were the more noteable improvements.Wood does have it's merits too, as the add... | |
| Need Large display DMM for biasing amps ChadnlizThanks. good thoughts.that comes down to ergonomics I think. it's fairly cumbersome to incorporate an additional magnifyer lens. For that part I'd likely just use the Jordy II CCTV & my office TV.Contrast is more the issue. With this E... | |
| DIY clock upgrade? Dgarretsonthanks much... Soon as I gave this some more thought I began to wonder if this wasn't too ambitious a project. Trend's website says the same thing about the xa 777 ES = 45.1584MHz... and the info from the Audiomod Int. site says their po... |
