| Review: Richard Gray 400s AC filter I too have a 400S unit in my system. It seems to have gotten mixed reviews in the press & I can see here too that the users have mixed feelings!I use the 400S ONLY on my front-end components i.e. CDP & TT motor. I never even considered (ev... | |
| Buggtussel Solitarious vs Amygdala Sedona,OK, I understand.Besides considering the "known Devil" i.e. Von Schweikert, I would also highly recommend:-* Green Mountain Audio Europa. This is a 2-way book shelf speaker that plays like a floor stander! It sells for $880/pair. Web site i... | |
| Preamps/amps that look great and''feel' great ??? My vote goes to the Symphonic Line (German) preamps & amps. Many of them are chrome finished & they look gorgeous - great eye candy for visiting audiophile friends! I have the RG4 mono blocks. These ss amps one of the few that have a soul ... | |
| Buggtussel Solitarious vs Amygdala Sedona,I 2nd Jrd351 whole-heartedly!If you are looking for clean, tight bass then forget about TL & reflex ported speakers! What you want to restrict yourself to is a sealed box design. The sealed box woofer has fast, clean & tight bass. I... | |
| Review: Spectral DMC-30SL Shubertmaniac,Thanks for the feedback. You are right - all this expensive gear is a window into sound reproduction, which is hopefully getting us closer to a real-life event. Good to read that you're enjoying the music. That's the spirit!BTW, I he... | |
| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. Gbmcleod,Thanks for the clarification! No damage done. | |
| Review: Spectral DMC-30SL Just wanted to add another datapoint tho' not exactly related to the DMC-30SL:- Today an audiophile friend kindly brought over his Spectral DMC-20 2-chassis preamp. We compared it to my CAT SL1 Mk3 in my system. The DMC-20 is a fantastic preamp in... | |
| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. Gbmcleod,Indeed you are correct in saying that tube traps cannot be placed along the wall & then be forgotten. They must be tuned. I didn't go into that in my post as the main objective there was to introduce him to the product more than teach... | |
| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. Outlier,I'm not surprised to read that you have had a miserable time w/ these foam acoustical treatments! When I was in the market for acoustical treatments, the $150 package was mighty tempting in lieu of buying ASC tube traps. In hindsight I'm h... | |
| Solid state design options... Karls,Thanks!OK! Sorry to club you with the "all negative feedback is bad" group. Your post seemed to indicate that but it seems that I misinterpreted it. | |
| Solid state design options... I would like to make a comment here:The post 'Karls' made on 7-30-03 seems to suggest that ALL NEGATIVE FEEDBACK is bad!! This statement is not correct!As an EE, I know that we rarely design an amplifier (with large gain) WITHOUT feedback! It will... | |
| Manley Steelhead or others?..... Thanks for the info Albert!(killer analog front-end!!) | |
| Manley Steelhead or others?..... Agree Brunogolf! I own a SL1 Mk 3 with a phono stage & it is magical for my analog front-end as well!!FYI for the others: TAS has an extensive review of the Io phono & the Calisto line stage in the present issue. These units are ludicrousl... | |
| Please help, What tube preamp? A couple of recommendations in isolation (i.e. I do not know if these preamps play well w/ Krell electronics) are:Audio Research SP-6A or B or C, SP-10 mk2, SP-11Kora EquinoxeFWIW. YMMV. IMHO. | |
| Ray Brown, Monty Alexander, Russell Malone CD Thanks for the feedback & suggestions for other CDs!I have a number of Ray Brown LPs where he did a lot of work with Oscar Peterson & those are excellent as well. I'll check out the CDs you all recommended. |
