| Best Integrated Amp $1-2k range Musical Fidelity A300, $1495 for dual mono 150w with remote control. Sam Tellig gave rave review in Stereophile couple months ago, MF really turning out great sound for maximum value........MF is for real, Nu-Vista amp is class A rated, very relia... | |
| Auric Illuminator, Optrix, others Some more detailed info about my comparisons. Using duplicate Cds, when testing Optrix I heard no significant difference in sound when compared to untreated CD, so if you use Optrix you will have clean CD but I hear no real difference. Auric Illum... | |
| MY Sidewinder AC cord progress: Carl you've been busy, we need a scorecard to keep track of all the combinations, but very good post. As you know I have Powersnakes Sidewinder on my Musical Fidelity X-Ray CD player and was very pleased with improved sound. It is interesting how ... | |
| Auric Illuminator, Optrix, others Red, all good points you make. My collection of CD enhancers is not a total loss though. I will use "auric illuminator" on any CDs I have which have a very bright recording (usually a rock/alternative recording ) and here the "smoothing" effect is... | |
| Upgrade blues Many dealers have loaners you can evaluate at home in your system so you know what you are getting and how it sounds with your other equipment. Also some internet dealers have 30 day return policies like Audio Advisor. And finally never sell your ... | |
| Monster Power AV-800 any good? In a word, no. Don't use this for your audio system. For slightly more money get Monster HTS 2000, avaliable from www.globe-mart.com for $125, got rave reviews from Absolute Sound July 1999 issue, reviewer said nothing he has ever tried improved h... | |
| MY Sidewinder AC cord progress: Carl, very informative post. To give us more perspective what are the retail prices of some other cables you are comparing Powersnakes Sidewinder to? synergistic master coupler, magnan signature, esp powerflow, and I believe you mentioned Proteus ... | |
| Discsolution, anyone tried Ejlif, thanks for info. I am very hesitant to put enhancers on CDs because of various fads in the industry. In the late 1980s they had these self adhesive thin plastic rings that you applied to label side to "stablize" disc during rotation, and of... | |
| Discsolution, anyone tried Ejlif please describe improvements you hear with this product and how do you apply it, I assume this is for CDs. Does this just clean or do something else magical? I think I will test "auric illuminator" on a couple discs, it is two step process r... | |
| ANALYSIS PLUS CABLES get ready **** Just to emphasize again my approval of Silver Ovals as great cables for the price, and if they had a more extended bass I would buy tommorrow, because they do many things right and have reference quality 3D soundstage ability. Carl IMO AQ Dragon i... | |
| ANALYSIS PLUS CABLES get ready **** I agree with Ejlif, but let me say up front A+ Silver Oval $499 for 8ft and Oval 9 $299 for 8ft are very good cables for the money. They are not world beaters that Clement Perry and friends in Stereo Times make them out to be though. They have bea... | |
| ProGold vrs Kontak vrs ? BTW my original post I failed to mentioned that I was using ProGold 100% solution, which I was not satisfied with, and removed it. I am surprised there are not more opinions on this subject as contact cleaners/enhancers definitely change the sound... | |
| MY Sidewinder AC cord progress: Carl I have just the opposite evaluation of SideWinder, no where close to bright in my system, in fact made CD output smoother with greater transparancy with fine details revealed. Bass output if anything was greater with SideWinder and 3D soundst... | |
| PowerSnake Owners Unite! I have a Sidewinder feeding my Musical Fidelity X-Ray CD player, results are very good. Powersnakes acheive the "holy grail" of audio, more detail, dynamics, and depth....plus a smoother overall sound. Works wonders on CD players taking the last b... | |
| Best Audiophile recordings For great alternative/rock recordings here are some suggestions (This is the real challenge as there are many jazz and classical excellent recordings, very few excellent alt/rock recordings) 1)Dead Can Dance - Passage In Time (greatest hits) 2)Cra... |
