| SET amps ? I agree that Jazzman463 has left the building!! ;-)But it is clear now from the discussion that Charles1dad, Tubegroover & Larryi have been having that with Jazzman463 having only $750-1500 available that he should not bother looking into SETs... | |
| What brand is most recognized by non-audiophiles? My response to the OP's question would be (besides Bose)* Adcom* Polk Audio* Boston Acoustics* Cambridge Audio* Sony* Onkyothese are brands readily available at Best Buy, Tweeter, Circuit City (when they were in biz), Crutchfield, HHGregg, and J&a... | |
| What brand is most recognized by non-audiophiles? THey just don't give a hoot about traditional audiophiles. They tend to be more forward thinking and targeting the masses in regards to their products.that's right! 'coz us old audiophiles are a cranky, nit-picky lot that turn our noses up if the ... | |
| Parsound ZDAC kind of blowing my mind... yes, Parasound has always known to be a giant killer for all the years that I've known its products. This time at RMAF2013 I got a chance to briefly meet the venerable John Curl finally. I'd heard a lot about him w.r.t all the good work he did for... | |
| SET amps ? 11-22-13: Mt10425Bombay-as an owner/user of the C&C Abbys, mated with a sub and driven by an EL-34 based p/p amp, I can listen to AC/DC at volumes just short of 'I can't hear the person sitting next to me'.I'm sure that I believe you.I was mer... | |
| tube amps and electrostatics Rodman99999,this debate on MOSFET vs BJT has been duked out before many times & I do NOT want to get into it again. So, I'm writing this with a bit of trepidation - both your references for MOSFETs seem to deal with MOSFETs used in a high freq... | |
| SET amps ? The question is , is now the time to try a SET tube amp ? hold on Charles1dad: according to me, the OP is confused & does not really know what he wants to do. So, he's asking the forum for some guidance. I take that to mean that ALL options ar... | |
| What is Imaging? 11-21-13: MichaelkingdomSo, it is just location and separation, not depth/realism? Well, doesn't location & separation include depth? if you determine that the artist is in front of the stage or at the back of the stage, you have depth percept... | |
| Pulling the trigger on pricey equipment I would agree with Bifwynne - exchange telephone #s & call the seller. Have an extended chat with him. It will give you a feel for the person. Like Bifwynne, I've been very lucky in my sales & purchases on A'gon but each time I called the ... | |
| Blind squirrels and such-Ncore 400 well, whad-da-ya know, the blind squirrel found a nut!! ;-)congrats on building the amp & not being daunted by never having done this sort of thing before....wish many others picked up a soldering iron with the same disregard to past experienc... | |
| tube amps and electrostatics Hi Atmasphere,nice to have met you in person at RMAF2013. I always enjoyed listening to the Classic Audio Hartsfield & T1.4 & they were sounding very good with your amps.....I believe that Roger Sanders has also done a great job with his s... | |
| Rivaling or Beyond the ESL 57 for Magical Midrange Cwlondon, I believe that there is a GMA owner not far out of London who you might be able to visit to listen to his speakers. Would have to be arranged thru Roy Johnson of Green Mtn Audio. So, this is a possibility if you want to consider it..... | |
| Rivaling or Beyond the ESL 57 for Magical Midrange Cwlondon, I'm a big fan of Green Mountain Audio speakers. These speakers are really well-made, drivers have been carefully selected & you get the full effect at low volumes because the drivers are sensitive enough. The older Europa model shoul... | |
| APOGEE CENTAUR MAJOR VS B&W MATRIX801S2 WHICH IS T There's another comment I want to make re. the later versions of B&W speakers that used 6" & 7" Kevlar midrange drivers. I used to own a pair of B&W DM604S2 speakers that used a 7" Kevlar mid & I found that when Diana Krall was pla... | |
| APOGEE CENTAUR MAJOR VS B&W MATRIX801S2 WHICH IS T I agree with Rsjm80 that the OP is pitting 2 strong contenders against each other.The B&W Matrix was designed when John Bowers himself was alive back in the early 1990s (maybe even the late 1980s). I've not heard the Matrix 801S2 but I did hea... |
