| Why do new cables needs to be "broken" ??? I can't believe this thread is getting traction. If I've said it once, I've said it once: In a new cable, the music doesn't know where to go. It's timid from the new environment. After a while, the music gets used to the new component (in this cas... | |
| Vandersteen Upgrade Path You don't really say what you don't like about your system.Is your room sufficiently large as to demand a sub (or two)? Do you really like that home theater "boom boom"? Have you listened (and enjoyed your system without the sub? Are your speakers... | |
| What's up with Talon? Hey, Nvlashi...I read on an on-line forum that a guy got an e-mail from Mike at Talon that implied that he may have been on vacation for the past couple of weeks. He's not 100% sure, but that should be enough to help you rest easy.If it's posted o... | |
| I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell Does this imply you have no faith in the hardware you advertise through your web presence?As one who represents himself as a dealer, your questions frighten me. Nevertheless, if you'd like to spend some consulting dollars, I'd be happy to sell you... | |
| What's up with Talon? Sorry, but I don't think Nisi was out of line at all. His post was respectful, gave Mike the benefit of the doubt, but expressed concern over something he has every right to be concerned about. I did not find it to be "knee jerk" or a "gut reactio... | |
| MMF-5: Cartridge upgrade or new table As a former MMF-5 owner, I wouldn't sink too much money into that table. Don't get me wrong, it's a decent setup. I did a direct comparison of my MMF-5 (stock) with my friend's Rega P-25, RB-900 tonearm, and Grado Platinum cartridge. While the Reg... | |
| Getting all new cables and need sugestions Don't sink any money in cables. Period. At 15 and with a limited budget, there are better uses for your money. Cables aren't one of them.I've read the threads you've recenly posted and think you would be better off acquiring source material (LPs a... | |

| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx I think Rhbblb1 brings up a good point (and one that *should* be the soul of this thread):In Hardesty's "Audio Perfectionist" Number 12 2004, he states, "Measured accuracy is required for good sound but measured accuracy alone doesn't guarantee go... | |
| Cary SLI-80 Speakers Recommendation Ken,If you're considering the B&W N804, I'd strongly recommend reconsidering the N805 with a REL Strata III. About the same price with much better performance (IMHO).Although I've never heard a pair, I'm really interested in what the Green Mou... | |
| B&W 703 - How to tame the highs? Wow...a lot of generalities being thrown around here and more myth than fact. Let's start at the top...B&W produces and offers so many speakers that it is impossible to take Judy's (or anyone's) sweeping statements seriously. I have not listen... | |
| Who has heard & compared the good tables? Yeah, I've got the lead-loaded acrylic platter (there is a picture of it posted on Audiogon - check out my system). I don't doubt the wood platter is better, but it was out of my price range when I upgraded my analog front end, as I upgraded the t... | |
| Who has heard & compared the good tables? Albert,I don't have obligations on Tuesday nights for the next few months. Perhaps we can schedule time for me to bring my Teres 255 down early, verify the set up, and give the crowd a show on your home turf. It's been a while since I've heard the... | |
| B&W 703 - How to tame the highs? Before you make too many changes to fix your "problem", make sure your 703s are fully broken in. IMHO, B&Ws need some serious time to really break in, and until they do, they sound a bit conjested (and may accentuate a perceived brightness). I... | |
| Beginning the Analog Adventure I started out with a Music Hall MMF-5 and compared it (side by side) with a friend's Rega P-25, RB-900 tonearm, and Grado Platinum cartridge. While his setup did some things better, they both displayed many of the same limitations (and the Rega / ... |
