| 12 inch Graham Phantom Well, with all deference to motion-in-the-ocean metaphors, my wife can empirically, emphatically, hysterically, orgasmically, verify my 14 inch Kraken-like length! But, still, unlike Ozymandias - a real head-out-of-the-sand kinda guy - I continue ... | |
| Auditorium 23 SoloVox... I've resurrected this thread because some of you seem to know a bit more on the Orangutans...I'm looking to get a Shindo Masseto or Vosne-Romanee to mate with my Air Tight WE300B-based 8W SET amp and will then get new speakers too. I would, of cou... | |
| Quad 2805 v. Quad 57 I had Quad US63's for many years and ran them with Cary 805B SET 50W monos. Its a midrange system, no doubt, but then we all should know that...I would temper this recomm with the caveat that I think WE300Bs & GE211 tubes are required in this ... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? SimplyQ: I know what these things might be/mean - radical subjectivism vs. scientific materialist perspectives. I want to know what YOU think/know/feel/see, RE: what "work" and "quality" IS...OK, since you didn't answer my question, I get to ask a... | |
| Air Tight 300B/WE rectifier question Thanks, Al. Good stuff. Thank you for your efforts. It sounds like not enough current in the 274B for my application. I had that feeling, but REALLY wanted someone who knew to tell me, hey, go right ahead. Apart from going for an original matched ... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? SimplyQ: I am impressed by your hew-ing of the UL's and [wire] resistances in your path, but I am interested in your definition of "work" and "quality" and "subjective." Are you game?If they let me out of my cage to resurrect order, its something ... | |
| Looking to upgrade my preamp - suggestions? Not even close: Shindo Augieres line stage, $2.2K used, sell some of your JPS wire and get a matching Shindo IC, $350 used when you can find it, look at some Kondo copper speaker cable, $500 for 8ft/pr...that will put you on the next level. | |
| TW-Acustic Arm Hello everyone. Well, I've been enjoying this all immensely! Please continue; nothing is better than watching cognitive agility in the service of, well...I knew that when people started describing the "output" of a tool (read: turntable) as one th... | |
| Shindo advice I wanted to put my two cents in on Matt Rotunda at Pitch Perfect in San Fran, CA. I've been in touch with him and he's been very helpful. A real gentleman. I would encourage anyone looking at a Shindo to give him a call. | |
| Shindo advice Thanks, Bobh. We have a lot in common. Incidentally, I was one of those Supratek guys; I had one of the first ones in the States and wrote a review for Ultimate Audio mag (that went under before it was published) and that Mick had on his web site.... | |
| Shindo advice Bobh, I got the wrong KCS...they look very purist. Not much resale, I assume, but then again I'm looking for speakers for the long haul. I only see one model, the Seas Exotic, is that what you have? | |
| Shindo advice Thanks Bobh, I understand about the opinion. Then, what do you think of the LA100Mk3's versus the LA300? I haven't heard any comments on the LA300 and would be interested.KCS? Hmm, new to me. Is this Kelonik Cinema? If so, website looks like they ... | |
| Wavac vs. Air Tight /300B's Thanks. Very good advice Fjno. Just hearing it sounds right.David12, the AirTight is nice, no doubt. But is it magical? Hmmm.On 2nd hand, always, always... | |
| Shindo advice Thanks again everyone. On the Joule LA300, I saw that Jud was running a special $7100 price and it is enticing. I just became enamored with a Shindo before he came out with it. I'm also attracted to the one box solution on line/phono. On the other... | |
| Shindo advice Thanks, gentlemen. The upgrade program explains a lot. Not something you think about with Shindo/Kondo et al, but a good business move. On the "large slice," that's what I sensed. I watched Dudley skip right to the Masseto when he knew he wanted t... |
