| Triangle Titus 202 Opinions? Congratulations! I have come around to Triangles since I first heard them. I want to try a pair of Naias myself. Let us know how you like the Titus 202! Arthur | |
| JM Lab Diva vs 937Be vs Mezzo Utopia I have the 926s (tioxid) and found the Divas more laid back than the Electras as well. (I think Mechans meant to say he has the 936s). The Be tweeter is definately different from the Mezzo's tweeter so which you like will depend on your tastes. Th... | |
| Q. on shootout between time/phase coherent speaker My JM Lab Electras are extremely good. One of the few disadvantages of this type of speaker is the limited sweet spot. If you sit too far off to the side, the imaging moves. On the upside though, you get less room interaction and superb imaging wh... | |
| A musical "heads up" to any and all... I like everything Nickel Creek does. | |
| Exprience with Avid turntables? One of the best systems I have ever heard used an Avid Volvere Sequel TT as the source playing JM Lab Micro Utopias and Revox Exception amps. It simply had unforgettable smoothness and soundstaging. | |
| BAT Toobs I tried some 1980 Brimars, 1976 Telefunkens and 1973 Amperex orange label tubes (all of them 6DJ8) in my VK-3i and liked the latter the best: clear and open but with a slight "hifi" character in the highs that some people won't care for. The Teles... | |
| New Focal.JMlab Electra speakers The Profile actually replaces the Cobalts and not the Electras. The new Electra line definately has my interest. | |
| 845 SET recommendation Unison Smart 845. It was sublime - I have never forgotten it. | |
| Is the Jolida jd 100 as good as the dealers claim? Ditto Boa2. My JD100 went from very good to down right sublime when I put NOS 1967 Sylvania 5751 tubes (I tried several others but liked these the best) and an MIT Z-cord II power cord on it. Night and day difference for only an extra $180. Try th... | |
| Salem, Va Yes indeed, and as a customer of Down To Earth Audio, I can attest to them being the coolest dealer around! I'm in Blacksburg VA so I get to visit them once a month or so. Anyone else in the Virginia Tech area wanting to visit? We could car pool a... | |
| Belles 350a Reference, Classe 2200, Ayre V-5x, The Classe 2200 is winning "amplifier of the year" awards in France and Germany. | |
| Is the Jolida jd 100 as good as the dealers claim? Yes indeed. I have compared mine (with NOS Sylvania tubes) to several players and the Jolida is excellent for the money. I just finished doing an A/B in my system with the $1600 Granite Audio CDP and the Jolida was very obiviously better - more op... | |
| Thoughts on the Audio Research 150.2 With Electras, you are hearing your electronics so if you like the sound then you have a great setup! I have only heard the 150.2 on a couple occasions and not with my 926s but I always thought that recent ARC gear sounds "delicate." I like a more... | |
| Need Help Guys Bat Vk5 preamp tube rolling I tried a bunch of tubes in my VK-3i and like the Amperex 6DJ8 orange label Holland A-getter ca. 1972 tubes the best. They have some warmth but tons of detail and soundstage is amazing. | |
