| Review: Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signature Monitors Monitor Drubin, Newbee: Thank you for the kind words. I'm using Ty's 20" high stands which I have filled with clay-based kitty litter. I use it straight from the bag as opposed to later! The speakers are blu-tacked on. I'm using the 4 ohm taps on the Lect... | |
| Horn speakers with Imaging? Sean, please tell us what modifications there are to your Heresys. One wonders whether the mods have added significantly to the imaging abilities of your pair.Thanks, Lee | |
| solid state gear- leave on? I would like to "third" the recommendation to leave your solid state gear on all the time. Two of my components are by Simaudio and that is their recommendation for all their products. A Sim dealer once told me that my I-5 integrated would need 30... | |
| Which EL84s for Lectron JH30 integrated amp? Ndoshi, many thanks for your reponse. I thought I might not get any responses, which is understandable given the small numbers of these amps in the U. S. I will have to look for some Brimars. Currently I'm burning in some new Ei's and some new Val... | |
| Tandberg Repair?? Amen, robert8409. Rlwainwright is way off base with his "helpful" response. | |
| Good Jazz/Vocal Reference CD Recommendations? Listen to Slipknot1...he's dead on with his recommendations.Of those I would suggest that you start with Eva's "Live At Blues Alley" and Patricia Barber's "Modern Cool." The latter is amongst the very best recorded of all my CDs, and I have the re... | |
| Review: Forte Model 4a Amplifier I have found the Threshold T3 (early to mid-'90s vintage---used around $900)to be a perfect companion to the 4a. This combination provides true "see through" clarity with high frequencies of exquisite delicacy. | |
| Galante Audio Rhapsody or Symphony...heard them? Thank you for your responses. The Rhapsodies are going onto my shortlist as they appear to have the traits I value highly. | |
| Placette vs. Creek remote volume controllers? Thanks everyone. This discussion has been very helpful. You just can't beat this site for help when you need it. | |
| Best imaging stand mounted speakers? Seandtaylor99, thanks for your observations. No offense taken concerning your recommendations about placement. As far as price is concerned I'd like to stay in the range of $2500 new or about $1200 used. The speakers would be set up in nearfield l... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century I agree with Lbietz2001 about Josh Groban. His voice is nearly unbelieveable, especially for someone so young (20, maybe 21 now)...but he's a figure from the 21st Century. My nominees from the 20th Century would include Jose Cura and Carlo Bergonz... | |
| Review: Plinius SA-102 power amp J. D., I finally found your review of the Plinius 102 and enjoyed reading it immensely. It's the most nearly perfect user review of an audio product that I've ever read, being virtually a "straight wire with gain." The only thing missing is intima... | |
| Quad 988 / 989 reliability ?? Sadly, Hi Fi Farm writes a note which casts great suspicion on their trustworthiness. After reading it I would expect that anything they carry at the moment would be fabulous while gear they no longer carry, but which used to be fabulous, is now u... | |
| Tyler "Linbrook" any opinions? I bought my pair in "golden oak" about 6 months ago after owning Ty's little Reference Monitors for the previous 6 months. The LMs need a good 200 hours of break in time using wide range and dynamic music at fairly high volume levels. As they are ... | |
| Which components produce a convincing 3-D image? Thanks for the responses written so far. You folks have already given me some food for thought. Regarding monitors and stands, I have the Linbrooks Blu-Tak'd to their stands, which are filled with clay-based kitty litter...each side weighs in at m... |
