| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? It was as if a scrim was put over my view of the music as the AA cables were most subtractive in upper octave energy. Yup. Something's going on. What you heard couldn't be further from what I heard.Almost sounds like you received defective cables... | |
| Electraglide Epiphany -X VS Shunyata Your question is like asking whether Baskin Robbins or Haagen Dazs chocolate is better. How will you ever know for yourself without trying them?Truth is, you're going to have to listen to both to decide, and if you can buy only one, you're rolling... | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? Good points from John. I was incorrect in my broad categorization of the Aqueous as most accurate or detailed.I earlier wrote:I mention this only because it might be contrary to conventional wisdom to use the more colored IC from CDP to preamp,...... | |
| Modding CDP's "Rolling" is a verb, and is interchangeable with "changing". | |
| KT-88's better than EH ... I believe Bombaywalla makes an excellent point about amps being voiced with certain KT88s.In my recent journey, three KT88 tubes were heartily recommended by several audiophiles: Svetlana Winged "C", JJ Tesla, and Penta Labs KT88sc/Shuguang KT88-9... | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? Initially, I had the Aqueous from my CDP to my preamp, and Venustas from my preamp to my amp. Too much cowbell.So, I swapped them, and things fell into place. I mention this only because it might be contrary to conventional wisdom to use the more ... | |
| Modding CDP's Gbm4th, I encourage you to try the Sylvania Gold Brand GB-5687 tubes if you can find a pair. They're relatively inexpensive, but difficult to find. | |
| Your Opinion: Coincident Vs. Silverline? Resisting the monitor suggestion, I see...I believe any full range floorstander, regardless of brand, is going to have problems with a bass hump due to the reinforcing nature of the rear wall being in close proximity to the woofers. If you do choo... | |
| Modding CDP's Autoll, having some experience with the Modwright tube output stage that utilizes the 5687 tube type used in the SWL 9.0 SE preamp and Modwright Sony 9000ES/999ES DVD players, I can say that rolling tubes in a Modwright player will change the flav... | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? Schwing! | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? My penis just shrank... | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? I have a pair of Aqueous ICs, and I also have a pair of Venustas ICs. The Aqueous are slightly more neutral across the frequency spectrum, IMO, whereas the Venustas provide a touch of midrange bloom in my system. Also, the Venustas are a bit softe... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? 02-07-06: Audioari1At this point, audiophiles would have to be silly not to try the Clever Little Clock!Audioari1 (Threads | Answers)Audioaril, I absolutely agree. Please send me one on your dime, and I will be happy to try it. Contact me via priv... | |
| Bypass preamp, better sound, yet fatiguing? Yup, that's a quandry.I still believe that even if my preamp was made of concrete I'd prefer the sound of the system with it in the signal chain.Preamps add some magic despite tubes or sand. | |
| Bypass preamp, better sound, yet fatiguing? I prefer using a preamp, and I have the option of running direct. Any marginal loss in transparency is completely outweighed by the added body, life and realism a tubed preamp contributes to the mix. |
