| Emm Labs CDSD transport and other DACs. Hi David,I recently became an EMM Labs dealer, and if I get the chance I'll play around with several combinations. I can understand your curiosity - here's this killer transport, what else can we do with it? I may have the chance to try it with a ... | |
| Bob Crump passes away over holiday. Bob told me once that his company was originally called Throbbing Gristle Audio, as mentioned in the asylum thread (link provided above). Apparently he had a customer who wanted to make a substantial purchase, but the customer's wife was offended ... | |
| Bob Crump passes away over holiday. Brian Walsh, close friend of Bob Crump and definitely one of the good guys, has arranged for Bob's traditional Friday evening party at CES to live on as the Bob Crump Memorial Beer and Pizza Party. Kickoff is at 6 PM on Friday the 6th of January, ... | |
| Parasound Halo JC1 mono amps and Merlin VSM-MX My impression is that Merlins tend to sound their best with high-output-impedance tube amps, in particular OTL's (SET's tend to not be powerful enough). I have a couple of friends with Merlins, one of whom has experimented extensively with amplifi... | |

| What Is Best Monoblocks For Around $10,000 Used? I think the Pass X600 is an excellent amplifier. I've never been less than impressed with its bass. It's even better sounding than their X1000. The X600 is virtually a Class A amplifier; the first 120 or so watts are Class A, so in normal use it o... | |
| List speakers thast can be put cloeto rear wall Programmergeek did an excellent job of summarizing the problems wall placement gives rise to. Nicely done. If you can stand the width, the Snell Acoustics Type A (sadly discontinued) was made to go up against the wall, and it was among the finest ... | |
| Single Driver Horn vs Multi driver efficient spker I'll be exhibiting there, with a 94 dB ballpark non-horn speaker.See ya there, Marv! Duke | |
| Planar speaker that don't require herculean amp? I'm a Sound Lab dealer, and frankly the only Sound Labs that I think would work well with your amps are the hybrid Dynastats. They are definitely among the easier electrostats to drive even among hybrids, and show up used from time to time within ... | |
| New book on "Audio, Acoustics and Perception" Judy426 - My association with Earl Geddes (mentioned in my initial post above and on other threads) has been both business and personal. I've never gone into great detail about it, but maybe now's the time.Roughly four years ago, I decided that wh... | |
| New book on "Audio, Acoustics and Perception" Hi Wellfed,I think you'll find Earl's book to be much more than a translation for laymen of existing conventional texts. Earl's thinking isn't limited by convention at all.RCPrince and Jfz, thanks for the thumbs-up! RC, Earl told me that he's been... | |
| Recommedation to drive Electrostatics? ML, Inner? Well, the good news is there are quite a few amps that can drive a pair of Martin Logans well. The bad news is, they tend to be big and expensive.Among amps that will work well are models from InnerSound, Parasound (JC-1), Levinson, Wolcott, Conve... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Hi Songwriter72,As an amateur I did build other true first-order crossover two-way speakers that sounded pretty good (though power handling was compromised), but those did not measure "flat" on-axis. I use a combination of mechanical and electrica... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx A core issue in the design of audio equipment is, "what really matters?"Not everything that can readily be measured matters. For instance, total harmonic distortion measurements have essentially no correlation with perceived sound quality, but cer... | |
| Speaker Sugestions Wanted $1500 max Hi Crazytubepower,Glad to have you amongst us! I think the best bang-for-the-buck prospects are likely to be among used, discontinued loudspeakers.My suggestions would be Klipsch Cornwall (comparable in efficiency to your RF-3's but better quality... |
