This is not a System! But getting there.System edited: Various changes. The most important one is that I changed houses and the new room is much larger, allowing for better placement of these large speakers. Importantly, I now sit 5 mete... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |

This is not a System! But getting there.Never have actually. May try and let you know but moving houses soon so it wont be for a while. I cant imagine it would be a problem but dont know about synergy per se. Enjoy the 411, it is a good ... posted almost 16 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.I have not had them in my system. I did have the Lamm 1.2r which I did not like much. Well built etc but their sound did not have the depth and detail of some of the better designs. Maybe others ha... posted almost 16 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.Well, I only use xlrs now, and the longest is 7 or 8 meters. I do not get any issues with that, running it out of the wavac preamp. There is a bit more noise but I dont think it is related to the l... posted almost 16 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.Miguel, I think of the MIrage very highly and use it most of the time. It connects with my Crestron screen and makes things simple. I run it with the Gryphon Solos, so you can argue that by having ... posted almost 16 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.Detlof,you are probably right about pc (or in my case) mac audio. Surprisingly these drivers and software make a big difference to those who have experimented. I am sure that very soon we will ... posted almost 16 years ago | View comment | |

This is not a System! But getting there.Mtkhl567, I agree with that point in speed and it is what I was saying earlier. Although the speed is actually not as well defined as you think, since humidity and temperature matter! (probably not... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.Perrew, you may want to try to get more detail than dealer's analogies to cars. I have heard these statements also from all kinds of dealers for all kinds of equipment. The 833a are not slow amps, ... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.Phd, you can definitely achieve excellent sound with a less expensive system and not consider doing what I have done unless you can source stuff at the right prices + are a bit crazy.Mapman... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.On preamps which some of you asked, I may have answered before. I consider AR and VTL to be clearly inferior to the ones I have here. They also cost less, so maybe it is understandable. What is not... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.Johnchung, both sound great. EMM is clearly a pioneer in SACD technology. However, their products, in my experience, have mixed quality, keep changing very frequently as their suppliers change, and... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.Richsonics, I use Jorma Prime all around. My experimentation with cables has not been as extensive as these cables seem to do what I am looking for. Same resolution (more?) than Valhallas but a mor... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |

This is not a System! But getting there.Jkstraw,Thank you for the kind words. Building an inexpensive system is no lesser a process than an expensive one. It also is the case that sometimes less is more. In terms of enjoying music, e... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.Wizard1, the Soulution was a try of only the preamp. I have increasingly had the preference of Class A sound (and tubes) so I dont think I would go that route for amps. I have heard them though and... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.Maxx2man, hard one to answer as some of my equipment is not here. For example, the Lyra Connoisseur is considered by some to have been one of the top preamps. We ll see how the new version (new pow... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |

This is not a System! But getting there.Thanks George, I will try it out. I am not as high a listener of this music but maybe this will change me. The mainstream stuff drives me mad (I hate it) but some of what you are describing is exce... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |

This is not a System! But getting there.Mtkhl567, I certainly agree with that. First of all, it is hard to define 'better' in this sort of thing. But more importantly, keep this in mind: typically, manufacturers sell to distributors at X... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
