| meadowlark nighthawk/ vandersteen 3a sig Also wanted to mention I was seriously considering purchase of these speakers years ago based upon sonics as well as price/performance ratio. However, some of us have to deal with "other" significant factors as well. When my wife saw the Sig 3A's ... | |
| meadowlark nighthawk/ vandersteen 3a sig Hey BigTee, as I stated above, "your current speakers are also very good." I agree if you have a high damping factor tube amp the Vadies sing. I was reflecting on personal experience and his equipment. Most likely it is room interaction...Many rev... | |
| First Sound compared to Supratek, VAC, or Audio No Kalan, thank you for the info. Please let us know your impressions on the Syrah versus the standard Deluxe Mk II, if you can, as they are much closer in price point.Those with the First Sound Presence Deluxe Mk II preamps, any phono amp "relations... | |
| meadowlark nighthawk/ vandersteen 3a sig Hello Keith-I may have some input for you... Your room size is actually a decent size. The Vandies are actually one of the other speaker manufacturers that I really considered, as I liked their time & phase aligned design as well. I currently ... | |
| Pure Note Cerulean I want to comment or at least acknowledge from a consumer standpoint, I appreciate RidgeStreetAudio & Michaelhwolff's usernames in that they are both honest in who they are and no smoke and mirrors up front and foremost.My post above was a bit... | |
| Pure Note Cerulean Does anyone else wonder this? I sometimes take a look at the different threads people respond to. Anyone else ever take a look at Sonic_genius'? It is like he has a megaphone for Pure Note cables and that is it. Sonic_genius if you happen to be an... | |
| $1130 system for a musician, please : I would look at Underwoodhifi.com at Soliloquy speakers and an integrated Jolida integrated - you will have a very musical midrange and most likely an even treble and bass response with that speaker matchup... should be able to be within your budg... | |
| Audience Au24 vs. Ridge Street Audio? Psychicanimal- No, I am not one of those that "have to have the best." I chose components for their performance, not their price tag. The same holds true with cabling, as well as the RSA in MY system. I actually talked to Robert about this, as he ... | |
| Audience Au24 vs. Ridge Street Audio? I truly believe the RSA Poiema's are very high quality cabling and most likely will work great in most systems. However, it is also worth noting that system matching is critical. I know RSA claims they are not a tuning cable, however there are cer... | |
| Alternate interconnect to Cardas Neutral Reference Yes, in many cases the cable really does make THAT much of a difference. When you unload a significant amount of money on high quality gear, the CORRECT cable will highlight and bring out the very best your system has to offer. One of our engineer... | |
| Best Redbood CD Player Used/New under $7K I would also mention the Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP for you to take a listen to. I have also heard great rumblings about the Wadia 861, but have no personal experience with it. | |
| LP storage? What do you use? Check out a newer Lowe's hardware store. Some of the older ones don't have furniture. I was able to pick up a 4 shelf, metal rack. They come in chrome, black, or white I think was the thrid choice. The model I picked up is 36" wide x 14" deep x 54... | |
| Suggestions please: Upgrade from Krell KMA 160s I would also have a listen to the Electrococompaniet AW400 monoblocks.I would personally look into the new Jeff Rowland Model 201's as well. 250 wpc into 8 Ohm, 500 wpc into 4 Ohm.Pass Labs X350 would also be on my short list.Good luck, should be ... | |
| time to discuss kt-88's Kevziek -I have also heard horror stories on early production runs on the Ei KT-90's. I can not comment as to the type I and the type II's as I have only had experience with type III's. Here is a link to show you the visible differences:http://www... | |
| time to discuss kt-88's Kevziek - If I am not mistaken, many would argue the KT-90's are built like a tank and I believe I have been told their useful life is 4-6K hours if biased normally. In my past experience I had well over 4,000 hours on my set and the tubes were sh... |
