| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? He is entitled to his opinion if this opinion is based on listening experience. Not so sure I would feel comfortable taking advice on equipment from a source that places so little value on the actual event. ASR has gone from an irritant to a joke. | |
| Verity Audio speaker parts Got my questions answered by Paul. A great guy. Thanks to all for the help. | |
| Verity Audio speaker parts These are the Encores. I know Paul well. Thanks for your help. | |
| Devore O/96 with high powered amplifiers The best amps I have heard on this speaker were the Atma-sphere OTLs. Can be a bit ruthless but this DeVore errs on the forgiving side of things. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. ASR, I think by design, takes a fairly extreme and militant stance precisely to get responses. Not a question of being pertinent rather one of being hard to ignore. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Yes I agree with you. There seems to be some commonality between many of the very expensive floor standers in not only impedance but also in the material used to make the drivers. I am considering getting 250W transformer coupled tube monos to ex... | |
| Anyone familiar with Mullard 12AX7 10M tube ? Well when these Mullards were made you didnt have components that really beat the tubes as some do now. All depends on the circuit I think. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. I meant weird curve/low impedance speaker. Sorry! So you mention a demo which you didnt hear. I guess because Dave did this demo we should assume the sound was excellent. C'mon show us a bit of respect! Yes sarcasm from Mulv., but not very cleve... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? I have MA-1s and noticed some improvement with aftermarket power cords. Very expensive and borrowed. Didnt like the high end Shunyata power conditioner on these amps so they go right into my wall. | |
| Anyone familiar with Mullard 12AX7 10M tube ? A number of tube manufacturers used special designations for what they claimed to be higher quality examples within a tube family. My guess, at most, is that they may have factory tested and given this badge of honor. There is no way the 10Ms, Gol... | |
| JBL 4349 at low listening levels. I find that horns are very good at low levels. I am not a fan of horns, but this is something that they do well. You can further improve low levels by using tube amps. | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? Yes but you have to be careful. Many cartridge manufacturers have a bit of "house sound" so do your research. The comment about very cheap cables in recording studios is doubtful, but even if true is meaningless. It is about getting the most fro... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Great how did the demo sound? Absurd thought that because you can drive a $ 20K plus speaker with cheap electronics you would. As if this would be a reason to not make a speaker easy to drive. Many of you are showing a fundamental misunderstandi... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Well I think this is not surprising. Those who are attracted to this sound buy the speakers and those that arent dont. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. I should add that Wilson has been very successful to date with some idiosyncratic performance issues so I cant blame the son for not changing much on the new designs. Thank goodness he changed the tweeter. |
