| Altos or Utopia Don't believe everything that you read. Trust your ears. | |
| Tube Monoblocks for JM Labs Electra 927 Be As an Electra 926 owner, I can tell you that my 45W CJ tube amp in my 14x15 room is just fine. From what I saw in Hifi-choice, the impedance dips to 3.5 ohms at 50 Hz or so but the phase isn't bad and the senstivity is indeed higher than average f... | |
| what else-$$ ????? More music. | |
| Stand-by on Mark Levinson products From an engineering standpoint, I would turn the system off during the week. This will be a good tradeoff between thermal cycling and thermal fatigue, thereby maximizing the life expectancy of your gear. Arthur | |
| Help me to lube up Maybe van den Hul's "The Solution" would help? | |
| Suggestions for integrated amp It depends on your system and tastes. For me, I would also pick the YBA. | |
| YBA Design new CD Player YC201 & Int. Amp. YA201 I heard them briefly but the setup wasn't optimal. They were playing Revox speakers and the sound was very transparent and detailed. I will be auditioning them again soon in a better setup.They look stunning IMO. The case quality is superb. They l... | |
| LSA speakers? Yes, the LSA speakers are from DK Design. But I auditioned the LS2 at length at my dealer and they sound fantastic. The VS VR2s, which sit right next to the LS2s in the room, didn't sound as smooth or as open. I didn't get to compare them to any o... | |
| "Mac" Integrated Owners: Are You Experienced? I too enjoy MIT cables with my McIntoshes. But I find that Mcs aren't as senstive to cable selection as other (pre)amps I have had. Arthur | |
| Naim amps?? They value quality over quantity. It seems that is an unfamiliar concept to many Americans.Arthur | |
| Jadis DA50S's load impedance question, pls help There is basically no such thing as an 8 ohm speaker. Speaker impedance is all over the map in most cases. The pic shows the jumper settings for the transformer. If you don't know, I wouldn't advise you doing anything. Your speakers probably need ... | |
| Help me with Speakers Now plz. I have albums from every one of the bands you listed. I have tried a number of speakers and really enjoy my JM Lab 926s. They aren't laid back but they aren't in your face either - just the right balance IMO and have refinement and detail to die f... | |
| What are best hi efficiency speakers under $1000? Heresys do spring to mind, as do Omega Loudspeakers - very different approach than Klipsch but quite good nevertheless. Less bass than what Heresys would have though.Arthur | |
| Need feedback from Focal 1027Be owners Both of those speakers need a lot of break-in time - much more than Tweeter would give them. I have read a couple times that the Be tweeter needs at least a couple hundred hours to get into its groove.Both are great speakers with proper component ... | |
| Focal Electra Be 937's placement I recently have read about extreme toe-in (crossing way in front of the listener) with great results. Big Triangles are supposed to work great that way. I will try it one day with my speakers but I find it just looks too odd! |
