| Dynaco PAS-4 preamp I stand corrected--my apologies! | |
| Sound Lab vs Magnepan 20.7 Which Sound Labs? In general, SL's (and ESL's in general) are more liquidly transparent and higher in resolution than Magneplanars. But a lot of people really like the ribbon tweeter in the 20.1. Maggies need to be above a certain volume threshold... | |
| Dynaco PAS-4 preamp There was no PAS-4. There was a PAS-3 (tube) and a PAT-4 (transistor). May be that's why there's not much info out there on the PAS-4! | |
| HiFiMAN HE-1000s. Those who still have their old Stax phones will never need new ones. | |
| Interesting Article Wolf, if your Sgt. Pepper is from the new Mono series, it is NOT from a digital master, but from the 4 track analog masters! | |
| Quality pre amps with home theater by-pass The Audio Research line stages of the last twenty or so years have processor pass-through inputs. | |
| Interesting Article Some of the "facts" in the article sound specious to me. Better run this by Fremer. | |
| Segue ISO vs. Seismik Sink pods? I've been catching up on my reading, looking into HRS and others. But last night I hit pay dirt---the Minus K vibration isolator. Not cheap, but neither are the Ultra and HRS. | |
| Segue ISO vs. Seismik Sink pods? The Seismic Pods provide isolation down to a very low frequency (like 3Hz). The springs of the Segue ISO are also isolators, though to what frequency and with what suppression is not quantified on the Symposium website. Maybe I'll just have to get... | |
| What Determines The Amount Of "Current" In An Amp? Some speakers which dip to very low impedances at certain frequencies don't require lots of current, but rather an amp that is stable into a highly-reactive load that presents an almost dead-short operating condition, with, as Viridian mentioned, ... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price "Really fine cables" and "Really low price" are such subjective and relative terms. How fine is fine, how low is low? For the owner of Kimber KS6068 speaker cables, just about EVERYTHING else is really low priced! | |
| Best older universal for CD playback?? Esoteric DV-50s. It plays CD, SACD, and DVD. It's built like a battleship and sounds great. Original retail was $5800, they sell for $1200-$1500. | |
| Segue ISO vs. Seismik Sink pods? The SS pods have adjustable height for leveling, a necessity with tables and disc players. | |
| Finding Hi-Fi abroad? Thanks guys. Hifishark I knew about, ukaudiomart is now added to my favorites list. The search continues! | |
| Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers? One of the couple of best systems I've ever heard was a pair of big SoundLab ESL's driven by big Atmasphere amps. I think the SL A1 or A3 was a favorite of J. Gordon Holt. For my money much preferable to Martin Logans, with Quads in the middle. Bu... |
