| Can a tiny silver bowl affect music reproduction I get the same results when I wear my aluminum foil hat.:) | |
| 2014 CES News: ARC Showcases New CD-6 Mitch, I missed the Stereophile write-up. If there's a web link, could you please post it. Did Stereophile compare the CD-6 to other ARC gear? Thanks.P.S. The CD-6's MSRP is the same as the new SP-20. I wonder if these components are carving out a... | |
| Need a warm amp for bright speakers Al, why would a SS amp have different speaker load options? I would "a-thunk" that most if not all SS amps have very low "decimal-digit" output impedances. So what's going on inside the black box when switching from 6 to/from 8 ohm speakers?? Does... | |
| VPI Classic platter - is center milled? Hey ... I'm still waiting for Stringreen. Where are you buddy? Your the guy with all the VPI news that's fit to report. | |
| VPI Classic platter - is center milled? Agree with Sarcher30. This new direction in platter design seems curious indeed. Well, I'm standing pat with my basic Classic platter. I think using the center spindle clamp and outer ring clamp do a fine job and I'm just enjoying the music. Just ... | |
| Andy Kim - Needle Clinic Give it a whirl and let us know how you make out. Is your Delos broken? Retip/exchanges with Lyra are just too da*n expensive. If Andy can repair the Delos to perform at or near original spec for a fair price, that's a win-win. | |
| Tweeter type and brightness Johnnyb53, I think the resonant point of beryllium dome tweeters is somewhat further out than most other metal domes tweets. My fronts are Paradigm Signature 8s (v3), which as I mentioned above use beryllium tweeters. My speakers are very fast and... | |
| Redbook CD Is Not Dead Russell ... your Q touches on a subject that has been discussed quite a bit in various OPs. Namely, why isn't the younger generation interested in good audio? Instead, it seems like they like "ear bud" music that's just compressed distortion, IMO.... | |
| Audio Research PH 7 or PH 6 Pkelly ...just curious about the rest of your system. What are you using for a linestage/amp/receiver and speakers? If you're using ARC gear downstream, the PH-7 is a no-brainer. | |
| Redbook CD Is Not Dead Wanted to pass along a favorable redbook CD report. Just bought a bunch of older CDs from a vendor who advertised on A'gon. All classical music and in mint condition. I think I paid about $3.50 for each CD.No point in listing all the labels. But i... | |
| Tweeter type and brightness Broadstone -- my compliments on your sage approach. Another suggestion is contacting ML to see if they rehab their older gear. I seem to recall reading that some ESL/planar companies refurbish their older products. I can't seem to recall the ESL c... | |
| VPI Classic platter - is center milled? Ditto on the thanks for that update Apb689. What you report indicates a 180 degree change in VPI practice re the use of mats. I have an early Classic which has a flat platter and smooth sides. At that time, the mantra was using the table sans mat ... | |
| Tweeter type and brightness Broadstone .... your question is reasonable but difficult to answer because there are so many variables involved. Ergo the various suggestions above.What I'm about to say may be a bit heretical, but if you like your ML ESLs, why not fix them and k... | |
| New Wilson Shasha W/P Series 2 P.S. I used the cash to buy a preowned 2-year old ARC Ref 150 that had about 1100 hours of time racked up for about 60% of MSRP. Frankly, I was grateful for the prior use because that meant I could plug and play the Ref 150 right-a-way. I'm happy ... | |
| New Wilson Shasha W/P Series 2 Knghifi .... kinda agree with you. As I said above or elsewhere, that's why I buy -- for the most part -- hi-end preowned or factory "refurbed" demo gear. I can flip it for almost what I paid for it. Case in point. I recently sold my "old" ARC VS-... |
