| Any problems with Springsteens DualDisc? Do I dare place this cd in the cd slot of my 325ci? (I think not...)Art | |
| why spikes under speakers??? I have achieved substantial improvement in the sound of tower speakers that were already spiked on a carpet, by placing them on a spiked stand on the carpet. I think that having the speaker lifted away from the carpet (even that it was already on ... | |
| Any problems with Springsteens DualDisc? oh oh. Will I be able to rip the Springsteen to my Ipod? Art | |
| HE 2005 Show Reports Thread Should I hop on a plane tonight and catch Saturday and Sunday? I don't really have the time but hey, life is short. I could redeye tonight from San Francisco to New York and then fly back Sunday night in time to catch few hours before heading to w... | |
| Cary SLI-80 vs Manley Stingray I own the Cary and have limited exposure to the Manley unit. I'd say that you nailed it except that the Cary bass does go quite deep, perhaps deeper than the Stingray, but bass control is where the Cary is less than stellar. I'd rather have the Ma... | |
| Mini monitors for vinyl.... Hmmmm. I would not expect this gear to sound warm. I could be wrong, you never know, but I would not bet on it. Anyway, I'd be looking at some Cardas cabling to goose the musicality, perhaps Spendors. Someone is asking $1000 on 'gon right now for ... | |
| New Keith Jarrett Thanks for the heads-up. Have his recent issues come out in vinyl? Art | |
| Your choice for SET amp? I did not know that Lamm's are SET. I should have guessed because they sound so damn good!Duo's sound has disappointed me at shows, but of course show situations are notorious for uneven sound quality. (Some of my favorite speakers have been unlis... | |
| KT-88 in Conrad Johnson Premier 11a Thanks Jburidan. Yes I used the older Svetlana KT-88, which would now be SED brand. The KT-90's were EI from Yugoslavia. I bought these all from Kevin Deal of Upscale Audio, if I recall correctly.Art | |
| KT-88 in Conrad Johnson Premier 11a I used a variety of KT-88 and KT-90 in my Premier 11a and Premier 12's. They were all wonderful, so it is very much a matter of taste. This is the only line of amps in my experience where I ended up preferring 6550 to KT88 or KT90. Usually I prefe... | |
| CJ Premier 18/Cary slp 98-which is closer to PF-R? If you don't need a remote control then First Sound preamps are amazing. Very rich and musical and honest at the same time. Notes seem to explode out of a blackness. I think it's hard to go wrong with Cary or CJ though. I've heard a lot of Cary an... | |
| Sistrum Platforms under floor standing speakers I'm experimenting with the SP-004 today under my Silverline Sonatina II's and I am very impressed (to my surprise). The sound is more articulate and almost SET-like (using Cary SLI-80), bass is tighter and cleaner and deeper. I have carpet and had... | |
| Graham IC-50 -vs-IC-70 "shotgun" I had the IC-30 and loved the detailed but found it missing some low end. To what extent does the IC-70 improve in this regard, and, by any chance have you compared it to my current reverence Cardas Golden Reference phono cable?Thanks,Art | |
| Advice on Cary CD Players or other options. I use Cary SLI-80 with AU 24 and just upgraded my 303/100 to 303/200. I am very happy with it. I loved the 303/100 but it had just ever so slight hint of grain. That is gone with 303/200. And it's fun to play with over-sampling. Power cords and ca... | |
| Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4 the real difference I've owned many Thiels including 2.3's, and my good friend owns 2.4's. I think Swklein nailed it in his comment; the 2.4, to my ear, retains the best attributes of Thiels while being a lot more willing to sound musical with a wider variety of gear... |
