| Best wire to replace stock wiring in preamp? Ladies and gentlemen, may I suggest for all and sundry to take a big breath? This thread is still young, and yet it managed to become quickly more contentious than it needs be. Come on boys and girls. . . cheer up! | |
| New Helix PowerSnakes Cable From Shunyata ? Jeremy, at this point there are only two things we can be reasonably comfortable forecasting:1. The new Helix series will sound somewhat different from the old powersnakes.2. The introduction of the new series may cause a number of current owners ... | |
| New Helix PowerSnakes Cable From Shunyata ? I dou doubt any old series PC can be reworked to become a PC of the new series. You might have to sell and repurchase. | |
| New Helix PowerSnakes Cable From Shunyata ? Yes, it looks like Shunyata has posted info on its new Helix series. The names of the PCs remains unchanged, with the word Helix now affixed to them. A technical description of sorts has been published by Shunyata at:http://www.shunyata.com/modeld... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 Steady Perfectionist. . . it is likely that your linestage is just undergoing a little pubescent crisis. As soon as it gets over those new exciting hormonal changes, you'll be able to reason with it once again. Be patient. . . and you won't have t... | |
| Best wire to replace stock wiring in preamp? KingTut, what is a 'crudential'? Did you mean credentials? | |
| Best wire to replace stock wiring in preamp? R_T, my preferred player of record--the Teac Esoteric X-01 -- employs 4 Burr Brown DACS per channel -- probably 1704. Do you have any experience with this player or its DACs and what are your opinions? KingTut, please do chime in as well--we seem ... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 Yes Perfectionist, Tubes take a little time to settle. The single 6922 on my lowly ARC LS2B takes typically 96 hours to settle down to its golden sound each time I start the linestage from dead cold. | |
| APL 3910, Exemplar 3910, MF KW, Esoteric X-01? Smilin, in wat other league are the modded machines? you are not telling us what the base league is. More specifically, have you compared these leading modded units with such machines as the Teac X-01? As already mentioned in passing, a personal l... | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow Very good point JAX2, in fact the aforementioned brazza, was thusly called for being held by the 'brazzo' or arm in vernacular Italian, as opposed to the 'viola da gamba', to be held on or among one's legs. This was also called simply 'gamba' in t... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Just a small update on my auditioning plans. I am currently waiting with bated breath for the Austin weather to become more reasonable so that I will be able to keep the system turned on without the danger of poaching. Probably another three weeks... | |
| 24-bit 96-kHz remastering of classical I have just discovered the RCA Living Stereo remasters. Currently listening to them on Redbook, as my SACD player is 60 days away as we speak But even with CD equipment, I was stunned by the relative grace and unagedness of the Piatigorsky recordi... | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow Of course, a much more erudite moniker would be Brazzaman, from the original Italian Brazza, standing for 'viola da Brazzo', then 'viola da braccio' in more modern guises. the German 'Bratche' is but a typical transalpine translitteration. But Ess... | |
| 24-bit 96-kHz remastering of classical TexasDave, you should give a try to the hybrid CD/SACD of Antonin's Dvorak's Cello Concerto, performed by Piatigorsky on the cello and conducted by Charles Munch on RCA. Even on the CD track there is NOTHING light nor artificial about it. To me it... |
