Kharma Ceramic 1.0 speaker with Atma Sphere Amps ?
by the way, I meant to mention that I owned the Kharma 2s for a while and a good friend is a dealer for Kharma and Lamm this is how I have had a chance to listen to them so much.cd 
What is the right thing here................
The likelihood of both drivers blowing at the same time-frame as a result of driver failure is probably incalculable. You sent them working…end of discussion! This is clearly a user error or one of the truly unique happenings in our lifetime...in ... 
Kharma Ceramic 1.0 speaker with Atma Sphere Amps ?
look up "kharma" under previous threads and you will get alot of dicussion around this subject.a number of people swear by the Tenor but Kharma uses Lamm to show with and have for years. Both Tenor and Kharma are using the same output tube althoug... 
Biggest Baddest Audio Cables
I forgot to mention power cords. There are a lot of these fat boys around but I know you can get the Whale Elite usually for a good price and a fair amount of agoners like them. There is one on action right now and it has a link to a thread that d... 
Biggest Baddest Audio Cables
How much do you want to spend? It doesn't do any good to suggest all these cables if you only want to spend a hundred bucks. The Kharma and Purist are in the thousands of dollar ranges.I didn't see the Kimber Select line mentioned but it has exact... 
what will make the greatest differance in sound.
All the units we talked about are good but it sounds like you want an example with little or no hassle. If you get ML preamp you will improve in all these areas and it is built like a tank and has the coolest volume knob in the business (and the b... 
what will make the greatest differance in sound.
IMHO the cables should be done last because they should complement the sound not define it. Your question was where should you start that will make the biggest impact. This is like asking which is better solid state or tube. There are all kinds of... 
Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD
Twl,I think that most people have admitted that SACD sounds better but that doesn’t mean it will or should be adopted. I think you are right about comparing players of equal quality. This is my experience. The SACD players don’t play redbook as we... 
How do you "downgrade"?
I can feel your pain. I went from 10k speakers, 8k cd, etc down to nothing and now have started back with a very modest system. In my case I grew too fast and got to striving for specific sounds instead of enjoying the music which was my original ... 
Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD

Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD
I think we should all convert back to the original cutting edge medium...8 trackscd 
Suggestions for Maggie replacements.
Oh, "used", I guess it would help if I read the original posting a little closer..."never mind"Danheather, I got the tune, I feel the warmth of the fire and the voices lifted in song...Yes I am a fan of the Titus but only as far as it goes. There ... 
Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD
Twl,I agree that the industry wants to find a way to protect CDs but these are the same folk who made available to the public CD burners. Made them cheap enough to put in every PC made in the world. As for protection, DVD video was protected but n... 
Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD
yep...Noel are you listening? Abandon the SACD thing, it is dead before it is born. All the reasons already listed and more besides. No, it may be “better” under the right circumstances but it isn’t better enough and accessible enough to make it w... 
Suggestions for Maggie replacements.
Which Meadowlark? They don't have anything in the $500 range do they? Now the Kestrel has had great reviews and I am sure it is a great speaker for the money but it is $1695 which is more than 3 times the Titus. Isn’t their smallest speaker the Vi...
