| Verity Audio Parsifal vs. Aerial 10T Frederick21: You're judging world-class speakers like the VR-5SE's with sources like that? Let's just say you haven't heard the Von Schweikerts. Also, great speakers won't blow you away. They just reproduce music. Go to a rock concert or listen to... | |
| Verity Audio Parsifal vs. Aerial 10T Frederick21: The Von Schweikert VR-4Sr. does not use or require lead shot. You must be thinking of the VR-4Jr. The 4Sr. is vastly superior to the Aerial if you're looking for coherency, dynamics, clarity, soundstage and realism. I have not heard t... | |
| Downsizing from Audio Research REF110 to 100.2 For those who don't know, as good as the ARC 100.2 was, it has been surpassed (without any doubt) by the new ARC SD 135. I owned the 100.2 and have the SD 135 -- and a VT100MKIII. I sure wouldn't go from a REF110 to the 100.2. Your problem is some... | |
| Selling a favorite component to help out family Family does indeed come first. Plus this is a clever way to get more people to check out your ads. | |
| Theta Compli vs Wadia Cytocycle: Which Wadia piece did you own or listen to, and were the necessary internal adjustments made to ensure that you were listening with volume levels between 70 and 100? If not, that would explain how you arrived at that conclusion. | |
| Anyone try decoupling speakers from the room? Bose 901s were often dangled from the ceilings. | |
| Best Buy selling Vienna Acoustics speakers Of far more importance is that Vienna Acoustics and/or its importer have sold out, going the mid-fi route. When you see brands that were previously considered high end being sold at places like Tweeter, Circuit City and Best Buy, it doesn't bode w... | |
| Anyone try decoupling speakers from the room? Pedrillo: OK. So why doesn't Bobby suggest such a setup in the owners manual? Sonically, what are the differences vs. setting the speakers up as Bobby recommends? | |
| Anyone try decoupling speakers from the room? I wonder what Bobby P. would think of your setup. My guess is that he would be horrified. | |
| Krell KSA 100 vs KST 100 I owned a KSA 100 and replaced it with an Audio Research D400MKII back in the mid-'90s. The ARC showed me just how bad the Krell was. The Krell sounded congested and lacked the musicality of the Audio Research. The Krell did, however, have a lot o... | |
| Damping factor or watts? It's interesting to note that the highly regarded Pass X350, X600 and X1000 all have damping factors well below 100. Thanks, Duke, for your insight. | |
| Life after Aerial 10Ts... Weiserb: I own Von Schweikert VR-4Sr. and Dunlavy SC-II. I've also owned the Dunlavy SC-IV/A -- and probably two dozen others (Totem, Vandersteen, Quad, Snell, KEF, B&W, etc.) I wish I had kept the big Dunlavys. For less than $9k I've heard no... | |
| Life after Aerial 10Ts... I've heard the 10Ts two or three times at dealers with highly regarded associated equipment (Pass and Levinson). For the money, they were among the worst speakers I've ever heard. They lacked coherency and just didn't sound at all natural. The exa... | |
| does anyone sharpie thier CD's??? Metro04: Dgarretson provides a highly plausible technical reason. Besides, who stands to make a fortune here, Sharpie? The Sharpie folks probably don't even know about this.I haven't tried this, but I wouldn't condemn those who have and say they h... | |
| does anyone sharpie thier CD's??? Metro04: Very true, but many times over the past several decades scientists have reported discoveries that cast doubt on previously held thories/beliefs -- or are flat-out contradictory to what scientists have "known" to be true. In the audio worl... |
