| Questions from a new Loricraft user Sorry, Bill, but in this case, it's the manual. I just got my PR-3 back from Smart Devices. Some part of the internal drive mechanism unscrewed itself and made the machine inop but your problem sounds different than mine since mine wouldn't work o... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Probably Sound Ultimates or the big Maggies would be ideal. If you can jump high enough you grab hold of the top frames of the speakers and "hang on" from now 'til doomsday, kinda like with monkey bars. However, if we're talking abouth speakers we... | |
| Basis Debut Mk v or Walker or Brinkman ? Like Rushton, I'm a Walker owner of long standing (9years). I have a friend with the full blown Brinkman system but have had no experience with Basis.A couple of personal observations would be that the Walker is not really that fussy to set up but... | |
| Stealth Varidig Sextet Break In Period? Agree with TJ. Mine sounded great immediately with minor improvements wrought over time. It is the most neutral and "not there" digital IC in my experience. | |
| Einstein OTL amps experience Hey DocS. As an A/sphere MP-1/M60 owner running them on Duos, I can only say that I wished I lived in S Fla. to be on hand for this most interesting sounding shootout. Please keep us posted. I think the worst possible outcome will be a great one. | |
| Where do I make the long run IC or speaker cable? I have three different sets of 10 meter ICs from pre to amp and 1.5 meter speaker cables. Speaker load is highly reactive as compared to the IC's load. So far, no dicernable problems with this arrangement. Especially if you're running balanced (as... | |
| Amplifiers and Horn Loudspeakers I think you will find that most amps with specs like you state for your own will, in most cases, employ undesirably large amounts of negative feedback, a sonic no-no IMHO.When I first got my A/G Duos, all I had in house was my Bryston 4B NRB so th... | |
| Why Palladium in cables, wiring, etc. . .? GCIf your comment regarding the resistivity of titanium had to do with the mention of the Pure Note Titanium cable, note that only the jacket of this cable is titanium (as I understand it). | |
| Why Palladium in cables, wiring, etc. . .? Metallurgically speaking, I can't help you but from a "...how it actually sounds point of view..." my admittedly limited exposure to palladium tells me it's a champ at detail retrieval and refinement without edginess. | |
| Amps for Avantgarde Been using Atmasphere M60s for 6 years with Duos. No itch to make a change yet and no problems. | |
| Red Wine, Patek, Audio Zone and Atma Sphere Stick with what you've got. The others, to me, would be a step backward. Why digitize unnecessarily? | |
| Preamps with Avantgarde speakers I've been using an all Atmasphere setup (M60s and MP-1) for about six years with my Duos. It straddles the so-called line between accuracy and musicality better than anything else I've heard, including SETs, and the result is purity. To me this (p... | |
| Absolutely worst LP that you own & enjoy? Hey Bill,Sorry it took me so long to revisit this thread. I kinda just forgot about it. I know you use Indra cuz you sold me mine. Still the one. | |
| is there life after the indra?? Funny you should ask. I, too, run 1 meter Indras (balanced ) from DAC to pre. However, for the last four months I have been using a pair of solid gold ICs sent to me by Jack Bybee (unsolicited). Essentially, these cables run a dead heat with the I... | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? "Mr Roboto" right before noon NFL kickoff. It's like a living room pep talk to get the blood pumping. Then, it's Thomas Dolby's "Science" for secondhalf kickoff. |
