| Preamp Deal of the Century Hey great, glad people aren't getting upset. I would feel the same if it was me, but, from a manufacturer's point of view - an expanding manufacturer - its important to keep in mind that there are all kinds of customers, and as volume increases, i... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Six months is a long time IMHO. At some point, I would think that orders should be slowed, or buyers apprised, ahead of time, about length of wait. Basically, I'm glad people are getting a great product, that Mick is being rewarded for his work, b... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Dennis, I think you know more technically than me, but I never liked transformers - even less than the so-called "purifiers" like the Bybee. Transformers came first - the big Tice's if you remember, commercially - and I always felt that there w... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri's Thanks Gregm and Mjc. Probably a couple of years off on the SF's, but some of my buying decisions now will effect that system, so I wanted to start mulling it over. You've given me some great advice. Thanks again fo the help.Mjc: on the VAC, yes, ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century BWhite is correct with many more advanced systems, especially ones that aim towards musicality, rather than just always going towards accuracy; namely, power conditioners become percieved as progressively sterile, in that the space is rendered mor... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I heard the Syrah with the Berning on Acoustat 1+1 electrostats (Discovery sig wire I think, which could have been better...). Both have similar characters: liquid but very clear and dynamic. Not overly-accurate type of clear, but naturally transp... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri's Thanks mucho Greg. I've always had the SF's in the back of my mind and now that I'm going to change amps, I'd like to do so with them in mind in the future. I'm looking into a mod'd up Lectron JH 50 - an EL34-based 50W tube amp - and the person do... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri's Thank you very much Dovetail! | |
| Why vinyl? Nice post Ron. | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Macro, I'm loving this! Funny! Pendulums, yes, but oscillations bifurcate at increasingly progressive rates. The Earth is a mirror. Look outside, the pendulum is shaking; its not just about the stability of political structures of the species Homo... | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Macrojack: you said it all. Pretty soon, me too, I'll just be listening to the music on a nice small system and fade off into the distance...It does make me sad though, to see people like yourself who love music forced from that retreat. I have sa... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century TOK, you're right, juice makes all the difference with Digital. Its just tough to tell someone who wants a bit better CD player that he should also load mucho bucks into a power cord. I remember when I wrote this review in TAS on the ESP cord (ten... | |
| It takes music to open up a tube preamp/amp Oh pbb, don't be a spoiled sport; talking about heat in the kitchen and then running away, as in, feigning I don't understand (with more stone the witch, looking for comrades as you go). It's interesting that your original posts were, basically, t... | |
| Home HiFi better than Live? In an objective sense, live music on instruments (assuming, unamplified) and re-produced music through a machine are, as one would expect, different. We try to get the sound of stereo to sound similar, but all of the above factors mentioned make t... | |
| It takes music to open up a tube preamp/amp Pbb: I will corroborate the observation. Furthermore, I will say that the reason that pbb can not hear this is because he doesn't hear as well as some other people, or rather, because the ear is merely the mechanism, his mind does not hear as well... |
