| Shindo advice Asa,The model I had built is not showned on KCS website..My monitor is larger than the Seas Exotic shown on his site and also includes a Raal ribbon tweeter. After inital breakin (400 - 600 hrs) it would be very hard for me to live without the Raa... | |
| Shindo advice Asa,KCS website is listed under manufacturers index. Believe me my KCS speakers just seem to be getting better and better each week. They are not geared toward TH applications. I have heard the Devores 8's & 9's and a couple of Audio Note spea... | |
| Shindo advice Asa.I heard the Monbrison in a system that I was not familiar with but the system was very musical. In comparing the LA300 vs. Monbrison since it was two completely different systems I am not sure my opinion would be worth much. Shindo now has a g... | |
| Monitor; selling your best monitor. Merlin TSM-MX & Harbeth's SHL 5's. | |
| Shindo advice Asa, You really can't go wrong with Shindo. I have heard the Monbrison and it is a winner. BTW, if you have enjoyed the Joule preamp have you had a chance to hear the Joule LA300 ME? I have owned this preamp for about 5 months and can't imagine a ... | |
| Speakes for SET amp Check KCS Loudspeakers website. I had John custom build me a speaker around your price range and it is the best I have heard in my home system. John can offer many options and the value is off the charts for what you get. Great speakers, world cla... | |
| Mag 3.6R or 20.1 , Sanders & Montana EPS2 I owned a pair of Innersound Eros 3's and they were outstanding. Never a problem with the treble. I have not heard the newer Sanders speakers but my bet is that he has improved the sound from his Innersound days. | |
| Go with a tube preamp or not? John, I didn't catch the balanced & single ended requirements, I guess at 57 not only my hearing but eye sight & memory are all shot.Happy New Years to all! | |
| Go with a tube preamp or not? John has some great advice if you have the funds to have more than one preamp at a time. I would also recommend a CJ - CT6 which you might find for around $2000 used. At that price used it is a very good preamp. | |
| Pass X1?? There has been some good advice in the above answers. It really depends if you want to spend the extra money or not and if your system is revealing enough to hear the difference between the two preamps. I have heard both your current and X20 but i... | |
| SET amp for Gallo ref 3.1 Hanshhh,There are many great SET speakers and they don't have to be large ugly looking. When I finally got back into a SET system I spend months researching all type of SET friendly speakers and believe me there were 10x,s as many as I ever dreame... | |
| CJ MV60SE versus ARC VT100 series ii or iii I have owned the CJ & ARCii but not at the same time. The ARC are very good sounding amp and have a stronger bass than the CJ MVSE but in my opinion the CJ mid range was sweeter. The biasing for the ARC amps for me was also much more difficult... | |
| SET amp for Gallo ref 3.1 Hanshhh,I have gone thru somewhat the same experience as you. I owned a very high quality 300b amp and just totally enjoyed the listening experience even though my speakers were not really designed for a low powered SET amp. Being the typical audi... | |
| tuner better than turntable ? thread. I answered that other thread about a week ago. I currently don't have a turntable in my system but a near SOTA digital set up that I enjoy. My MD106T on certain broadcasts out performs my near SOTA digital system. I have owned turntables in the pa... | |
| How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ??? Having just discovered this thread I would like to make a few comments. First I read most of the answers skipping only a few. I have enjoyed FM music for years. I have what I feel near SOTA digital system which I totally enjoy but currently play n... |
