| VH Audio, Ridge St Audio or Audience Au24 XLRs? Pulsar/Au24 threadI found the Ridge Street MSE II to have a slightly softer top end than the Pulsar. The midrange and bass were about equal without excessive bloom. Both are a bit warmer than the Au24. The Au24 images best because of its uncanny a... | |
| Review: VH Audio Flavor 4 Power cord Sean, your mention of soldering vs. crimping is very insightful. I always assumed non-DIY power cords were all soldered, and now I wonder? I believe based on the comment attributed to Bob Crump, I can rest assured the TG Audio cords are all soldered. | |
| VH Audio, Ridge St Audio or Audience Au24 XLRs? Bingenito, IMHO you've selected three terrific cables, and I'd suggest trying all three to see which you prefer, because they will will function differently in your system than in others'. You can audition all these cables from the manufacturers s... | |
| Dual Mono Tube Pre-Amps First Sound Presence Deluxe II is dual mono. http://www.firstsoundaudio.com/deluxe.htmlCall the owner, Emmanuel, and ask him your questions. He's extremely friendly and helpful. | |
| Where to use plants as diffusors? I'd think about trying them on the side walls at the point of first order reflections. Have your wife or a friend sit in the listening position while you take a medium sized (not too large to handle) mirror and place it along the side wall. Starti... | |
| Good Better Best Interconnects Charandacafe, you never mentioned doing any research prior to your last post, and you never mentioned your system or previous cable purchases. Forgive me for thinking you were just starting out on the journey. But, your posts made it seem so. Othe... | |
| Difference between non and factory terminated All bets are off because there are too many options for alternative wall plugs and iec connectors to make a good judgement. Take a look at the VH Audio website to get an idea of the range of connector options. | |
| Difference between non and factory terminated I'll chime in here and offer that one would not hear a difference provided the terminations were the same products from the same manufacturer. | |
| Good Better Best Interconnects Charandacafe, you miss the point entirely. Cables are completely system dependent. Your results will vary from everyone else's who responds to your question. There is no pat and ready answer. A short hour spent reading a few threads about intercon... | |
| How is your many titles in your digital collection The ratio of Redbook to SACD/DVD-A in my collection is greater than 300:1.That should give you an idea of the relationship of redbook vs. hi-rez purchases.I should add that where possible, and sensible (translate...low $$$), I buy hybrid CD/SACD d... | |
| How Loud Do You Listen??? Do You Know????????? Normal evening listening is around 84db.If Metallica, or similar heavy metal is on, pressure level could reach 96db.Measured w/Rat Shack analog meter at listening position. | |
| Copper vs. Silver interconnects I listened to Kimber Select 1030 and went back to copper. I really liked the Kimber. I just liked Au24 and/or VH Audio Pulsar better. How can it be that I prefer $149 copper interconnects over $1300 silver interconnects? It just proves wire sounds... | |
| Good Better Best Interconnects Do you really want to go down this road? It leads to a dark and confusing woods full of treacherous footing and blood thirsty carnivores. Read the signs before entering, and do so at your own risk.You might also want to read the several dozen thre... | |

| Whats better then PS Audio P300? ? ? ? ? At $1700 for the starting 6 outlet model, the Isoclean products from Hong Kong seem to be kinda spendy. For Chinese made products to cost so much, someone must be filling their pockets pretty full of mark-up dollars. Just my 2 cents.... |
