| Plasma speakers anyone with info? Magfan, to each his own...ESLs are strongly preferred here over other planar technologies, especially for low level detail. SF6 is more difficult to get these days but not impossible. It does have some benefits. Bias voltage can be much higher tha... | |
| Plasma speakers anyone with info? Dayton Wrights had "cells" enclosing the membranes and containing sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas. There is no mention of ozone being produced in the documentation, since the gas filled enclosures were not intended to leak (a Schrader valve on the b... | |
| Mariah Acoustics Speakers - Any Info? They sound like JR149s on a budget. The former were great little speakers and still have a following. | |

| Has anyone heard the Kuzma 4 Point arm? Rauliruegas, the original Kuzma cartridge was by Shelter. The current ones are by ZYX. | |
| Has anyone heard the Kuzma 4 Point arm? Yes, it was demonstrated at the CES this past January on a Kuzma Stabi XL. Franc Kuzma was present and showed me one that was cutaway to show the inner workings. It won't be surprising to see reviews by US publications as well. It is very doubtful... | |
| Dartzeel or Mark Levinson 33H For 88 dB sensitivity speakers nominally rated at 4 ohms but dipping to 2.5 ohms, I would be careful about amplifier matching. The dart frequently is used with speakers rated several dB higher sensitivity and with higher, more benign impedances, s... | |
| Latest Stereophile - Recommended Components Generally it is unwise to make purchasing decisions based upon such lists. They may be used as a rough guide, but that's it. There is no substitute for auditioning, and don't restrict your choices to only those listed in the magazines. Take what t... | |
| Atma-Sphere Mp-1 mk III The MP-1 Mk III here works very well with the Parasound Halo JC 1s and the Karan Acoustics KA S 450. | |
| BAT VK 600 M SE power conditioner As others have said, avoid line conditioners for amps. Good dedicated lines with isolated grounding will help quite a bit, along with high quality wall receptacles. Ensure your entire system is at the same ground potential to minimize noise. You c... | |
| Steinway Lyngdorf Loudspeakers? Dcstep, you may be right, especially since Lyngdorf churns out one design after another. Can't he get it right the first time? For $188K there are a lot of other choices. And according to one article the remote control costs $7K. | |
| Parasound JC1 or Spectron Musician 3 se Missioncoonery wrote:Parasound has build issues and run hot as hellI must strongly disagree based on experience with JC 1s since early on, but if you would care to qualify your remarks with substantiating information, I'd surely be interested. Par... | |
| Halcro with electrostats? Yes - look up user "John C. - Aussie" on AA. He uses DM-68s with Sound Lab Majestics. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Alec124c41, you're the first person I've run into also with Watson Labs Model 10s. Excellent in their day but no match for more modern speakers. The Dayton Wright XW-10 subwoofers for the XG-10 ESLs (also own this combo) are virtually identical to... | |
| Which is the best CD-Player up to $ 10k ? ...but at $10k, I would expect at least some kind of 30-day trials be granted.Much better yet, an in-home demo without cost (or at nominal cost, applicable to purchase) or obligation. Would you buy a car sight unseen and without a test drive? |
