| Raidho D1/C1.1 vs Dynaudio C1 vs Magico Q1 Apdoc2004, for a purchase in this price range I urge you to travel to audition the speakers of interest rather than relying on discussion forum comments. And if it's important that you hear the speakers with some of your gear such as your amplifie... | |
| Audio Stores in Virginia Beach, VA area? I lived in Virginia Beach for a short time in the early 80s, and back then the Tidewater area was a desert wasteland when it came to anything approaching high end. For high end you had to go to Washington or Richmond.I agree with Peter - Bryans wa... | |
| AC cables for Atmasphere MA1s, MP1? Sonic_genius, if you owned Fourier amps you know very well what 'finicky' is. I owned one of their stereo amps for a short time. It was constantly blowing up: decent parts quality but atrocious layout, workmanship, and mechanical design, not to me... | |
| AC cables for Atmasphere MA1s, MP1? Sonic_genius, if you owned Atma-Sphere amplifiers you would know they are not finicky. In fact they are ultra reliable, unlike some other OTLs which are/were not -- an unfortunate stigma. If this were not true Atma-Sphere would have gone out of bu... | |
| Vivid Audio Giya G1 I agree with Mezmo about the Giya looks - complete lack of WAF notwithstanding, they remind me of Teletubbies. Audiooracle sells them, hence his post. I haven't heard a YG I could listen to for more than five minutes. Raidho is somewhat in vogue, ... | |
| Feickert blackbird, kuzma 4 point which cartridge Larryi, not only does VTA/SRA matter with the Titan i, azimuth matters at least as much. This is true of pretty much any cartridge with a line contact stylus profile. | |

| Feickert blackbird, kuzma 4 point which cartridge Syntax, I don't know if you have heard a 4Point, but by your description it was far from being set up properly, because when done so it is not at all soft sounding, in fact it has some of the liveliest, most vivid, fleshed out sound with vanishing... | |
| Feickert blackbird, kuzma 4 point which cartridge This week I set up and aligned a Kuzma Stabi XL 4 with 4Point and Air Line arms for a customer who purchased from me. One of the cartridges was a Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum. Terrific match with the 4Point, astonishingly good with the Air L... | |
| Audio Kharma website You're right, lowlifes and scumbags need a place to chat!Then you should find that place, because it's not here.I know Johnvf as a young enthusiast who 'gets it'. He attends the annual AK party here in the Chicago area and usually brings something... | |
| Audiogon purchase: too good to be true? A little searching is all it takes. Here is the ad.The comments about markup may be off base, but they are less relevant than what Elizabeth and Foster_9 said about confirming with the manufacturer or distributor that the seller is an authorized d... | |
| Audio Kharma website Phaelon, I see your point if all this thread is about is bacon, but it isn't, it's about AK as far as I can see, but yes, posting about bacon can be viewed as silly. Still, we've witnessed the Spudz Effect even in this thread. | |
| Audio Kharma website Thanks for proving my point yet again, Spudz. Seems you have a lot of time on your hands if you've been following the bacon thread. Not me, business has been brisk all this year, but I do look forward to having bacon and eggs tomorrow for breakfas... | |
| Audio Kharma website Liquid-smooth, I believe it for a couple of reasons:- While the guys on AK tend to have fairly low dollar systems, some of the systems perform very respectably - some at AKfest have outperformed some of the commercial exhibits - and once you get p... |
