| Review: Fried Products FRIED Studio 7 Speaker Jetta, thanks for chiming in. That's very kool to hear. There is a certain organic, magical sound that Fried speakers seem to possess. My first system included a NAD integrated back in 1979. Unfortunately, I was feeding Bose 501s and not Frieds! Y... | |
| Sonic impressions of Axpona 2011 Thanks Charles1dad. I remember you were part of the TRL/Shindo thread. Neither of those two manufacturers were there, but Tron was and that room sounded very nice as I referenced above.Yeah, the Jazz Party CD is lethal and lovely and requires a ba... | |
| Sonic impressions of Axpona 2011 I will start the ball rolling. I heard lots of good things but not perfection. What do you expect this side of heaven? Notable rooms in no particular order of preference were: 1. Voxativ/Schimmel: very kool custom single driver speaker housed in a... | |
| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? There seems to be some persistent confusion regarding the TRL "Reference" pre-amp (aka GTP-4). No participant in this thread, including myself, has heard it. Paul W. said the last one he made was in the late was in the late 90s. It was a two chass... | |
| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? Audiofun, what does your system consist of? Was the shootout performed in your system or someone else's? Was it blinded in any way?I am curious to hear more about the "current generation" TRL reference pre-amp you heard since most of those units a... | |
| Tube Research Labs Latest Dude Preamp Kool. What color are you getting? | |
| Tube Research Labs Latest Dude Preamp Very kool. Welcome aboard....And yes, leave it alone... | |
| Tube Research Labs Latest Dude Preamp Hi Yo2tup, Paul is particular about that and I would direct questions to him. Grannyring sent me a RCA smoked glass 6SN7 to try in the PS, and I did not notice any real benefit. That being said, rolling can alter Paul's biasing (thus the potentiom... | |
| SS for Merlins VSMs? For me, this paradigm would include a tubed pre, but the Neodio is still an intriguing option. A few friends like the Class A approach, including Clayton, Gryphon, etc. From talking with Bob, though, he has had the Gryphon too and still prefers th... | |
| SS for Merlins VSMs? I presumed your LSA would not be in the equation.... | |
| SS for Merlins VSMs? Pubul, I owned the VSMs in the late 90s through 2003. At the time, Bobby was recommending the little Belles 150A. It had a nice sweetness to it, and Bobby actually preferred it to the 350A and other SS offerings at the time. Of course, he always r... | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker That's great Bob. The fit and finish is spectacular. I wonder if they will be at Axpona? Despite their sensitivity rating, the Gammas are "hard to drive." They need a lot of current to open up and sing, and I am a little surprised the Neo is able ... | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker I looked at their website. Very elegant looking amp. What type of amp is it? Class A, digital, AB? I could not figure that out from the site. What TRL SS piece did you own in the past? | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker Outstanding and interesting. Well implemented SS is hard to find. I know Bill has had success with the Odysseys. I had both Dale's Coordinate Monoblocks and TRL Samsons and they both did well. The Gammas can be tricky to voice correctly and are fi... | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker Bob, I was wondering what happened with the Gammas since I did not hear back from you after your initial battery of questions. Did your 300Bs work or did you find more powerful amps? |
