Historical look at amps
Ar_t,I indeed see that you are a commercial user but that's only when I do a "member lookup".How about 1 of these suggestions:-* put a disclaimer in each post you make saying that you belong to such-&-such audio outfit. (this is tedious, I agr... 
Historical look at amps
Hi Ar_treading your post suggests very clearly that you are a manufacturer of audio equipment. However, you did not make this disclaimer. We love to hear from you audio industry insiders but we also would appreciate if you would be open about it &... 
Historical look at amps
Keis,I was not shouting! I used capital letters to emphasize a word/words. In an all-lower case post, it seemed reasonable to use capital letters to stand out. Sorry that you thought I was shouting.I re-read you orig. post - certainly appears that... 
Historical look at amps
Unsound,Read your post. My post WAS NOT an attack on any person or persons. LET ME MAKE THAT CLEAR if it was not. 2ndly, I NEVER meant to say that my choices are better than yours (Unsound) or anybody elses. Let me MAKE THAT CLEAR as well, if it w... 
Historical look at amps
Keis, you opened Pandora's box here & I expect there to be some heated debate! :-) This topic can degenerate into a "religious" battle.Anyway to answer a few points:Jameswei - nice cut & paste from your Aleph owner's manual. Show that ther... 
CAT Preamps vs Amps
John,You are most kind to offer me a chance to listen to these prized tubes! Yes, I would love to have a chance to hear them in my system. Ever since I got the Tele 6922, I've been conjecturing just how the sound would be if I could swap in a pair... 
CAT Preamps vs Amps
I had an update re. CAT preamps & I thought that I'd post it here FWIW. There are other threads that also talk 'bout this subject here on Audiogon but they might be far back in the archives.I took member "rayhall"(A'gon) & "TubeNewbie"(AA)... 
Spectral and Accuphase
well, i cannot say that i know much about the P7000 sound. however, my friend owns a DMC20-II as well & it drives a Plinus SA-250 Mk4. From whatever I know about Accuphase, it appears that this company's gear is 'musical' rather than 'accurate... 
Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement
Hi Aoliviero,your question is exactly up my alley!! :-) Altho my Wadia 861 is stock & not the SE version, I still love it. I run it into a CAT SL1 Sig Mk3 & in turn into a pair of Symphonic Line RG4 Mk3 amps. I agree w/ Gregm that these am... 
Opera Speakers - Opinions?
Tomryan, your skepticism re. Sam Tellig & his European junkets to British (MF), French (Triangle) & Italian (Audio Analogue, Opera & Unison) is well-placed, IMHO. I have the same feeling. His nose is brown big-time!! read those article... 
new CJ sound compared to old CJ sound
i have little experience with CJ - i've heard their solid-state power amps MF2250 (if I remember the model # correctly). I've also heard a couple preamps of theirs - one of them I cannot recall the model # (the reason for this is that its sound wa... 
Question for First Sound Owners
true! my bad!(i suppose that I got carried away w/ Kevinzoe's post). 
Question for First Sound Owners
usually, if the input impedance of the next stage/piece of gear is 10X the output impedance of the previous stage/piece of gear, it is sufficient. So, if the CJ amp has about 20K Ohms input impedance, it *should* be OK in that it should not load d... 
Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2005
damn! now I wish I was going to RMAF as well! it sounds like all of you are going to have loads of fun! Plus, it would have been very nice to meet all/many of you & put faces to monikers. for personal reasons I couldn't make but I'll sure try ... 
CAT Preamps vs Amps
I read John's (Jafox) long post. (poor John he was "compelled to post!! LOL!)I think that John underscores my point - know why people are using other preamps, evaluate whether similar or exact need exists in your particular system & audition/p...
