| Avalon Acoustics' Eidolon Diamond I think "expensive overengineering" is Avalon's tagline. | |
| Brightness Differences Between Daytime and Evening So how did you fix it, Sugarbrie? | |
| Integrated Shootout: Rogue Tempest/Cary Sli80 sig Gthirteen, are you able to play at all with power cords on these amps? They can be an effective way to adjust brightness with some components, but finding the right match can take some time. A Black Mamba might do the trick on the Cary. | |
| Brightness Differences Between Daytime and Evening I certainly experience the best sound late at night. However, the problem during the day is often not that my system is too bright but just the opposite--that the system sounds dull and lacking in clarity and "aliveness." This is in fact the bigge... | |
| Wall Outlets? Whats the difference? Also the FIM outlet, $55. | |
| Wanna hear your soundstage walk around ??? There was a CD from a collaboration of XLO and Sheffield Labs, circa 1994, which also had a glide tone on it. Actually two tones, splitting the frequency spectrum. Shorter in duration than the long one on the Ayre. I found it to be sometimes quite... | |
| Which direction would you go? Mike, great post, first of all. I think we can all relate.Have you heard a system you really loved? At someone's home or at a dealer's or perhaps the Home Entertainment Show (coming up end of May in NYC)? You might think about finding an entire sy... | |

| JVC XRCD CDs, are they worth the extra cash? xrcd.comDon't you use Google? | |
| A pass Labs X250 amp worth a divorce? I use a Pass X-150 with ProAc 2.5s. You'll like the combination.As to the other part of your question...well, that's a tough one. Lately, I've come to see my system as my mistress. | |
| Placette pre amp Get the Placette Line Stage, which is active but has no gain. It will give you everything you wanted from a passive without the downsides. If you need gain, he can build it in, but you probably won't need it. This is a tremendous product. | |
| Preamp dilemma... I suggest you add the First Sound to your list. | |
| Need help solving hum problem Appears I spoke too soon. It's baaaack..... | |
| Comparisons between Pass Labs and Pass/Threshold The Pass Aleph series amplifiers sound quite different from the current X series. I have owned both and can recommend both, though my preference is for the new stuff. In the Aleph series, the 0s are from the original 3-gain stage design, whereas t... | |
| Noise, hum and AC polarity As I 've said before, what the world needs is an audiophile-grade cheater plug.But more seriously (folks), maybe we need AC cords that are easily changed, or some other simple, user-configurable option. |
