new Magico speakers the Q5
It's interesting reading about a speaker that, as of yet, has been sampled only by the company's principals and (maybe) several outside listeners whose opinion they care about.Magico has big cojones coming out with this model just one year after t... 
Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier
Wow, what a rush! I know of some of the gentlemen posting here, but I wouldn't mind some kind of audiogon Playbill "List of Characters" to keep up with things since it's been 2 1/2 years since my last post (note to all: the withdrawal/rhythm metho... 
Are Capitole and Mephisto recommended components?
Ianrmack is absolutely right. I own the Mephisto II, and have been very happy, and don't really care if anyone has reviewed it. This is probably true for the content owners of the AA II. I've been a subscriber to TAS for nearly 17 years, and read ... 
Anyone tried the Audio Magic Stealth ?
Rkuryl, I recently asked Jerry Ramsey (the designer) the same question - he said it will be their "top of the line" unit and will be out sometime in Nov-Dec 2002. I'm afraid I don't have any info on specs or pricing. 
Static from Aesthetix phono stage when tt not on
Bill, you wouldn't want me to come over with my Aloia preamp w/phono stage now, would you? (if you don't tell Andy, I won't ;~). Although I'm not up-to-date with your wiring scheme, I thought that you had planned a dedicated (supplementary) earth ... 
Best sound at Stereophile show.
Tekunda, about the 7' Pipedreams in the Clinton Room - the Tenors powered the midrange/tweeter towers and a large Plinius amp powered the 4 18" woofer cyclinders (two per side). The sources were a custom analog rig of Tenor's own design and the Au... 
Which speakers do you use with Tenor 75 watt amps
Tekunda, your brother should be asking which speakers would not be a good match for the Tenor amps; they are a lot more flexible than what most people think, especially for an output tranformerless design. I have heard of very good results with Wi... 
AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet
Hi Bryan, I will be getting the EPS-2 soon for the Audiomeca CDP. Also, Stewart at Sanctuary of Sound will be getting a $300 replacement for the stock computer cord (alas, David Elrod told me he could design a new one but he's way too busy with wo... 
Ah Njoe Tjoeb op-amp upgrades?
Hello, Peter - I bought and installed the OPA627s over a week ago (there were good things being said in Europe about the combo of these with the Siemens 7308s). You're right about being relatively cheap. My first impressions after about 100 hrs. o... 
Eidolon, Amati Homage, or Watt?
I must congratulate all the respondants, and especially Mike above, for a well-focused review. It's been a while since I have listened to the Avalons, but I found little fault with them other than a polite representation of the lowest two octaves.... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Bwhite, do you think that Scott would mind being the U.S. "point man" for mods of these units? I know he has a business of his own to tend, but he seems to be very knowledgable and reasonable (a combination of traits difficult to find these days).... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Well, hats off to all the contributors and especially Bwhite (again), for a fantastic and well-balanced discussion. I reviewed the website a while ago, but thought the goods were too good to be true - looks like we might have a winner here. To mak...
