| Review: Richard Gray 400s AC filter Hey, the Richard Gray Power Company people claim the units are like "flywheels" and don't limit current at all -- especially when they're daisy-chained, which is a great way to get people to buy several of these hunks of iron. In fact, they claim ... | |
| I adore my Shahinian loudspeakers Here's the link to the manufacturer's Web site:http://www.shahinianacoustics.com/So the key to the design is omnidirectional sound -- kind of like reflected sound, kind of like Bose 901s, right? Only lots better drivers, crossover components and c... | |
| I adore my Shahinian loudspeakers OK. Now I remember. And a pair was reviewed by TAS a few years ago. There are so many speakers out there with so many claims it's sometimes difficult to keep them all straight. Still, it's not too practical for most of us to take off and fly to Ne... | |
| I adore my Shahinian loudspeakers I think you've answered your own question. Not many people are willing to "fly to Richard's shop in New York" to hear a pair of speakers. Also, how long has the company been in business and what are the chances it will still be in business in five... | |
| Review: Richard Gray 400s AC filter The Richard Gray units turned my Pass X350 amp into a wimp. I'd go with something else. | |

| Suggestions for my system: Preamp? Baltman: None may be available today, but these things change daily. Be patient. Besides, I know of a used Classe black faceplate CP-35 and I believe the asking price is $499. You can e-mail me for particulars. Oh, and I stand to gain nothing if y... | |
| Suggestions for my system: Preamp? The Classe CP-35 is vastly superior to the Adcom. It's got a lot better bass and just more life (better dynamics) than the Adcom. Oh, and don't listen to what people tell you about tube preamps sounding slow. They've obviously never heard a good o... | |
| Levinson 37/360s vs Levinson 39 cd player Unless you're just emotionally attached to Levinson, save yourself a lot of money and get better sound at the same time. I had the Levinson 360S/37 combo and replaced them with an Electrocompaniet EMC 1 CD player. The EMC beats the Levinson in eve... | |
| Vandersteen 2Ce Signature vs. 3A Signature Thanks, everyone. I really appreciate your opinions. I'm mainly looking for a bit more clarity than what I think the 2Ce Sigs offer.(Scb6: I think my Pass X350 is up to the task.) | |
| searching a new pair of speakers You might want to check into some Dunlavys or Vandersteens. Both are time and phase coherent and represent true bargains in high-end audio. The Dunlavys certainly don't sound like boxes. To a perhaps slightly lesser degree, neither do the Vanderst... | |
| Any experience with ARC solid state amps? For some reason, a lot of people (like Peter) think that just because ARC makes great tube amps, it can't make a good solid-state amp. That, of course, is absolutely untrue. The D-400MKII, the D-130 and the 100.2 are all great amps. I've owned ARC... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC-1: let's talk? Jayme: I agree; however, I get annoyed by ads for, say, an ARC LS25MKII that say this is an "original MKII" and not "an inferior" upgraded version that really isn't a MKII. That's not only misleading, it's a plain lie and shows the person selling ... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC-1: let's talk? Jayme: I know your post is several weeks old, but I didn't see it till today and I'd like to respond. In many (but not all) cases, an "upgraded" unit is indeed absolutely identical to one that was manufactured as that particular model. Customer se... | |
| Where can I find the thernistor for McIntosh MC240 You might try Tom Manley, owner of Statement Audio-Video, in Knoxville, Tenn. Manley refurbishes McIntosh equipment and is one of the top McIntosh dealers in the country. The number is (865) 693-0084. Good luck. |
