| Wilson Sophia 3 I have a pair of Sophia 2's and the paint on the top of the right cabinet has started to crack quite badly , I am the original owner , so these problems are still coming to the surface ( no pun intended ) , I have every confidence of a happy resol... | |
| Wilson Sophia 1,2, or 3? I own the Sophia 2's with ARC LS27 & a Ref 150 , the sound is very good but I believe the Sophia 3's are an obvious step up from the 2's and a major step up from the ones . But , the Sophia 3 does not have the silk dome tweeter of the new Alex... | |
| Review: Audio Research D-70 mkII Tube amp Hi Davey ,I was ' in the wilderness ' for a few years and missed the VT100's etc , when I came back it was with the ARC CA50 integrated amp , I then jumped to the VS115 and then the Ref 150 & an LS27 , I think that combo certainly bests many o... | |
| Need recommendations for a Cartridge under $2K Thankyou everyone for your recommendations , I will see if the Delos is available locally , otherwise the Dynavector XX-2 looks like the one ... Cheers . | |
| Review: Audio Research D-70 mkII Tube amp Thanks for a trip down memory lane , my introduction to the joys of tube components was an ARC SP8/D70 Mk2 combo driving Acoustat3a speakers , I wish I had stopped and gotten off the upgrade merry go round then .... I loved my D70 but curiously wh... | |
| speaker cables for Wilson Sophia I use Harmonic Tech Pro 9 Reference SE and I thinkits a very synergistic match , I found the earlierpro 9 ref ( non se ) to have slightly lesswell defined bass . I have not tried anythingreally expensive as no point listening to whatI can't afford... | |

Hi Mechans ,Thanks for your reply , I aim to try a 1 metre H T Magic link 2 between Cd & PreAmp , don't have any spare balanced interconnects at the moment .

| Experience with Unison Research Unico CD player . Hi RB , thanks for your response , I replaced the original tubes with NOS TUNGSRAM ECC82 , which are 12AU7 equivalents , I'll try and hunt up the ones you have mentioned and also try some Herbie's dampers . Thanks for your informative response .Ch... | |
| Has anybody heard the new Audio Research LS 27? I haven't heard an LS27 but I intend to buy one nonetheless , All indications are that it is a cost effective upgrade from my LS17 ( which incidentally I am perfectly happy with ), having not listened to anything else since I bought it .Spirited d... | |
| Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass? I have found the Sophia's to be quite cable dependantand critical of room placement , I experimented with several cables and found the Harmonic Tech Pro 11's to be the best synergistic match , rich and detailed without being at all coloured or exa... | |
| Review: Nordost Red Dawn Interconnect I used the Red Dawn interconnects & cables on home demoin my system and at 1st I was very impressed by the clean , detailed sound but after a few days I found that what I 1st thought was clean & detailed was becoming more like bleached &am... | |
| Who has found happiness giving up on DACs? I have only tried 5 or 6 DAC's , but have settled on a sub $1000 Rotel CDP which I think sounds wholly acceptable .I am strongly disinclined to spend big $$$ on a DAC , which is the same as spending big $$$ on a computer , dead money . After a cou... |
