Best female vocal recording on CD?
So many great suggestions here, many that I already enjoy and many more I've not heard. I just ordered 10 new cd's based on the suggestions here. I don't want to repeat many of my favs already mentioned but here are some I don't think I've seen me... 
Tekton Double Impacts
2channel8,sorry for the confusion, that's not what I meant at all. While the Enzo's are a great speaker they are not in the same league as the DI's. I only meant I could not detect any discernible sound attributed just to the new patent. It certai... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Teajay,It sounds to me that the Linear Tube Audio products with my Double Impacts will be a very formidable combination. Your reviews of the micro ZOTL and ZOTL 40 went a long way towards me making my decision to go with them. I thank you for that... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Teajay, your impressions of the DI's are spot on with mine. I still had my Legacy Audio Focus SE's when I recieved my DI's and spent 3 weeks with both until deciding to sell the Legacys. Many couldnt believe I preferred the DI's over such a good s... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Charles,Hello neighbor. It really is a small world. How kind of you to offer try your Frankensteins. They are my end goal amps but I would need new speakers for them. I'm enjoying the DI's too much to let them go at this point. I'll probably keep ... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Hi Charles,Sorry for taking so long to respond, I lost track of this thread. I doubt the Frankensteins would drive the DI's well, but I'd love to hear them together. While the DI's are rated at 98.6 db sensitivity as Israel Blume points out that o... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Corelli, it's difficult comparing the DI's to the Maggie's as they are such differant animals and it's all about personal preferences. The Maggie's were amazing with such stunning detail and with how they totally disappear. What they lacked for me... 
Tekton Double Impacts
I have the very first pair of Double Impacts made and have been enjoying them for months now. They are seemless from top to bottom, have some of the best bass I've heard in a speaker, throw a huge soundstage, are very dynamic and have liquid mids ... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Too bad you couldn't have found a nicer amp to put the fuses in lak ;) i hope it's obvious that I'm clearly joking......the Plinius SA-Reference is an amazing amp and I'm glad to hear you heard an improvement with the SR Blacks. I had the same exp... 
Why Single-Ended?
I'm with you lowrider57, I'm leaning towards single ended amps with high efficiency speakers like Herman, Charles and many others have. To me there's something magical about that sound. I've heard great sound from all different systems from tubes ... 
Why Single-Ended?
I totally agree Charles. I've been following and enjoying all of these well informed ideas and learning quite a bit in the process. Sounds as if both topologies can offer great sound if properly designed and implemented. Kudo's to all the gents th... 
XLR to RCA adaptor
Decware sells the ZBIT which is an XLR to RCA adapter but as others have pointed out you'd still need a pair of RCA IC's plus the cost of the ZBIT. Maybe selling your XLR cables and buying RCA cables would be best. Which amp are you getting? I hav... 
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
Geoff,while much of the discussion of photons and electrons might be over my head I look forward to reading more off what you, Al, Bob and others have to share on the subject. Call me an audio geek for wanting to learn more! Great einstein quote..... 
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
Lol Charles, I knew it was Al. And I agree, he's quite an asset to the site.Good insight klh007.  Funny you mention Mapleshades wire as I had their Double Helix Plus speaker wires at the same time I recieved my GE cables. I really liked the Maples... 
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
While I don't care how GE cables obtain their great sound, I find the scientific information quite interesting. I particularly applaud Al's non-condescending and non-combative approach to explaining the technical aspects of audio. All this talk of...
