| Pick your poison...2-channel or multi? Cdw,How I think? Hear how I hear is more like it.I'm a bit into my sixth decade on the planet. My high frequency hearing is well-preserved for my age. My earliest memory of hifi goes back to 1956, when most hifi systems were still monaural and tub... | |
| All Japanese system Typo....I left out a zero on the price of the KAB Technics TT above. Should be $690 allocated, to yield a $7,000 system, all new.Phil | |
| All Japanese system Clio09,I heard the ICL-Softone CDP once. I was impressed. The simple FET analog output section is clean and sweet and the digital processing is smooth. I have a Softone 300B amp which is loaded with big-T TONE and the digital gear is designed to a... | |

| Zu on Zu Onhwy61,The thread you refer to began as a query on Druid bass response. At some point someone raised additional topics which prompted the crossover/crossoverless discussion. The energy in the latter third of the thread regarded merely getting acc... | |

| Pick your poison...2-channel or multi? Cdw,How was the 20.2 experience? Interesting, entertaining, but thoroughly unconvincing as an exercise in music fidelity. The range of recordings was excellent. There was nothing amiss in the choice of recordings, the source gear or the amplificat... | |
| Pick your poison...2-channel or multi? Cdw,Yeah, I heard the system when it was considered complete. It was considered complete enough to demo to outsiders for fundraising and as demonstration of next generation MC, beyond anything on the market then or now.Phil | |
| Volume and Bass levels at LA HE Show One thing at HE2006, regarding bass: Every room had the same "bass note." Maybe I should say node. The dreaded hotel room sound was in abundance but particularly, bass sound was uniformly compromised in the same way, and loading any of those rooms... | |
| Pick your poison...2-channel or multi? CDw,No, I did not call your belief a lie. I merely disagree(d) with it. I don't question the sincerity of your belief in MC as a conveyance for fidelity. I just don't share it.I didn't say I heard 99.9% of all systems, I said I probably have heard... | |
| Pick your poison...2-channel or multi? "Where can I find more information on the 20.2 MC system?"I don't know. My contact is no longer there. It was also a system in progress and I am sure it is different today.Phil | |
| Pick your poison...2-channel or multi? CDw,I haven't called you a liar at any time. Also, I have extensive experience with MC for music as a discrete endeavor from MC for HT. My comments on this have been in the realm of MC for music, this being AUDIOgon rather than VIDEOgon.Economical... | |
| Pick your poison...2-channel or multi? The purpose of the USC system I heard was MC music.Phil | |
