vwap, just ignore all these fools, get a pair of rs1's and start enjoying your music
Originally posted by vwap Well, I'd better get the Chaplain ... thanks to doug, here goes the wallet -- again. Anyhow, if I weren't concerned in the least about portability, and sonic quality was my only concern, what would be my best bet? I'm currently using a Headroom Cosmic with Base Station One thru to a pair of Sennheiser HD-600's with Cardas replacement cable, with the source being a Sony SCD-CE775. |
Originally posted by kelly The HD600/Cardas on the HeadRoom Cosmic is not a bad pairing at all--even as a stationary system. You can get better, of course, but it'd be better if you stated what you felt was wrong with your system as it is. Different people have different preferences and priorities and without knowing what your complaints are, most advice here is useless. |
Originally posted by kelly vwap I can never remember who lives in what part of the country but I'm pretty sure I saw some Seatle meeting threads at one time. Why don't you try to get together with some of the Seatle people and try stuff out before you spend money on it? I'd hate to see you give up something you like and move into something you may not like as well blindly. |
Originally posted by vwap Yeah.. there's been a few posts back and forth in the Meetings page about a Seattle meet... I've been trying to contact a local retailer that carries Stax to possibly audition some.. but looking at the profiles of the five or so that've responded.. it doesn't look like anyone has an RKV to look at.. |
Originally posted by kelly That's too bad. As you probably know, I do like the RKV quite a bit even though I'm not a fan of the CD3000 (many here are these days). A point I'd make to you is this: the CD3000 sounds quite different from the HD600 and the RKV sounds quite different from the Cosmic. If you're close to what you like now, you're taking quite a risk to jump ship for something completely different. |
Originally posted by jude I have Cardas factory-terminated Neutral Reference interconnects, and I happen to have a Cosmic Reference handy -- the Neutral References I have will not fit through the holes in the back of the Cosmic. |
