| Best Sounding Solid State Amp? If you want some useful info instead of meaningless suggestions you need to provide much more info. What are other components in your system, what is your price range, what type of sound are you looking for etc. I don't respond to these type of th... | |
| Turntable innertubes: air, water, oil Tom the air tube suspension is widely used currently, like Aricci suspense rack, Townshend sinks, and bright star air mass etc. Of course big bucks buys you vibraplane where shelf rides on a cushion of air, no tube needed. Never tried fluids in a ... | |
| Monst5000 power thingy AFTER Adcom ACE: Liz, My tests with Monsters are that HTS2000 does indeed slightly improve sound, as Robt Harley from AS claims, but higher up units actually degrade the sound for audio only systems. My test was with HTS3500 with stage 3 filtering and was worse so... | |
| Tweak for Rogue Preamp Owners Dave there is a recent post at Audioreview.com for Rogue 99 where they did the same thing with the sand, said it eliminated small hum from power supply, and surprisingly improved overall sound to boot. | |
| King Cobra vs. FIM ????? Before you drop big money on KC2 or FIM I would try to demo the Shunyata Hydra using your existing cords.....could save you lots of money, why play the cord of the month game? | |
| Shunyata Hydra Info Available Tony, thanks for the report. Many interesting possibilities, many will opt for the hydra/sidewinder set-up to begin with because of big savings over individual KC2 cords, as you say. You mention the possibility of using hydra/PS300 or PS 600 in co... | |
| Best Ambient Music Don't really get into this area, but I like Orbital's "middle of nowhere" which was released a couple years ago. Solid album from start to finish, no filler. Ambient and trance can overlap, I guess Orbital is in both catagories. Aphex Twin is the ... | |
| Shunyata Hydra Info Available If I might answer my own question. I am sure Shunyata would respond that although hydra/sidewinder combo sounds as good as King Cobra 2 does now, hydra/KC2 would sound even better thus preserving the sales viability of the KC2. | |
| Best Classical Music Conductor I would sure like to hear more recordings from from Mariss Jansons, his Tchaikovsky/Chandos symphony series came out of nowhere and remains the reference for these works. His Mahler 2 is quite good, and he has some excellent Dvorak recordings. Lik... | |
| Which SILVER cables sound best? I have not compared them, but from the pictures PSS looks like the same design as Silver Audio Silver Bullet 4 with cheaper RCA connectors. You should contact Cable Co. and arrange to hear some ICs in your system, comments here are too general to ... | |
| Which SILVER cables sound best? If money is no object, try Acoustic Zen silver ICs. For real world I like Silver Audio Hyacinth $275 or HT ProSilway 11 $399 new. Both are superior to Kimber Silver Streak or KCAG, which sound hard and bleached in comparison. Kimber has much more ... | |
| That cool rounded-edge CD Player... Niels, I have MF X series amps and preamps and they do look pretty cool. The MF A3CD has same dac as X-Ray and was tweaked slightly to sound better. | |
| Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever There are many "new country" female artists that are very hot. Faith Hill in the "breathe" video, new hairstyle looks like scarecrow though, Shania Twain very solid, many more. Jenifer Lopez is "latino heat" | |
| Best Classical Music Conductor Carlos Klieber has very few recordings, but the ones in the catalog are extremely good. Dutoit is probably the best in French and ballet music today, curiously he avoids the main symphonic repertoire. Karajan was extemely verseatile, massive body ... | |
| Sand bags under a cdp - didn't work well Tube people to maximize benefits of inner tube under CDP, be sure and use torpedo level and make sure CDP is level when sitting on inner tube. If you put dampening weight on top, just shift it around by hand to get perfect level. For tube alone it... |
