| Which SILVER cables sound best? Anyone compare Acoustic Zen to Siltech FTM-4 Sg G3" ic or cable below this one (lists for $1100)? I thought Siltech FTM-4 I borrowed from the Cable Co was almost like no cable at all in the signal path. | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations If you are only using one source such as a cdp, then try the EVS nude attenuator. I have used this with the EVo and the SCD-777ES SACD. This works well for $250 IMHO. | |
| Best DAC Under $5000 - Opinions Please Ehider, how do reach Stan Warren? | |
| Mapleshade Recordings..GREAT or what? Hi, I just ordered 6 cds to enjoy. Of the two I opened so far "After Glow" and "Making Wopee", I very satified with the recording. High have a high res system (Talon spk, SACD, Bel Canto EVo, Nirvana ic and Silteck spk). They are on par with recor... | |
| Digital Amps. How good are they? Treyhoss, when you look inside the Bel Canto, they used a ferrite choke just prior to the transformers (wire is wrapped around the cylinder shaped choke). All of my cables are shielded (Nirvana, Siltech, Powersnakes). I also have 2 dedicated ac li... | |
| SACD's: Recomendations, ones to avoid I finally openned the Mobile Fidelity Duke ... Orbit. If you have an SACD player you must get this SACD. This is cearly the best recorded SACD. If Mobile Fidelity produced all of the SACDs, this format would really take off. | |
| Sources for NOS tubes This is a correction to my last response. I was only referring to the 6922 tube. I didn't know there has been such a run on these tubes. If I was looking for another tube I would have been able to buy them from Kevin Deal. Of course my first choic... | |
| Sources for NOS tubes Anyone buy tubes from Advantage Tube Services (www.tubeman.com) located in Florida? Upscale Audio won't sell tubes unless you buy electronics from Upcsale Audio or at the present time as of Friday, he is out of stock on 6922s. | |
| SACD's: Recomendations, ones to avoid I have had the SCD-777ES since Feb. I have all of the DMP recordings. They are at or near the top of the list. I have SACDs from each label (MFSL, DMP, Waterlilly, Sony, Telarc). It depends on the recording. | |
| Nirvana cables...anyone with experience? I evaluated Harmonic, Audioquest Anaconda, and Nirvana S-X ic in my system. Nirvana S-X rules. I am comparing the S-X to a similar priced Siltech 4FTM this week. | |
| Digital Amps. How good are they? I own the Bel Canto also. See my review (1st entered in Audioreview.com). I have had mega buck tube and solid state amps in my system but none of them do all things right like the EVo. Transparency, neutrality, frequency extention, dynamics, and s... | |
| PASSIVE Preamp and LIFELESSNESS? I am running the EVS Attenuator on the Bel Canto EVo right now. I am also getting a used First Sound Presence Preamp this week. I'm mainly evaluating an active preamp because the Sony SACD is known to have a poor output stage (I like SACD so I'm n... | |
| PowerSnake Owners Unite! I own one Black Mamba and 2 Sidewinders. They replace Harmonic Tech pc which was an improvement. I was in Hamilton, Canada last weekend (near Ontario) and heard the Foundation Research line conditioner/power cord in a friend's system. The improvem... | |
| Talon Loudspeakers Loco, have you heard the Talons? I have and have also heard speakers that range up to $15K. If you think making more money than someone else makes you a better person then you are only deluting and serving yourself and not adding anything of value... | |
| Tubes & Audio Research Corp. I have purchased tubes from Kevin Deal for my GTA SE40, my GTA SEP-1SE, an my SF line 2. In all cases, I have been extremely happy with the tubes. Kevin knows his tubes, how they will sound with a certain model and takes the time to test them thor... |
