| Sota Millenia vs Kuzma Stabi reference vs VPI HRX Amfibius wrote:I do not know if modern Sota's have a more damped suspension, but the Kuzma is certainly nicely damped. I only wish that Kuzma offered vacuum hold-down, that would seal the deal (pun not intended) for me.I have owned a Cosmos and cu... | |

| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? Audioengr, I'll be attending but won't have equipment to provide, so a shootout won't be possible. It's tough enough getting stuff warmed up and sounding slightly acceptable by the second or third day anyway. Good luck - I'll try to stop by. We've... | |
| Sound Application line conditioner experience? Heard an XE-12 Ref Line Stage with an Elrod Statement power cord and found it lightweight and somewhat hifi-ish in character. YMMV. | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? In a number of cases a computer based system may be preferred, however a top notch transport or all in one player can beat it hands down. | |
| Isolation devices and CDPs Hi Tbg (Norm), very interesting insights and no doubt correct. When the cost of the isolation approaches or exceeds the cost of the components, though... :-)Curious if you've had the opportunity to try any of the SK Research shelves and blocks. Th... | |
| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? Jaybo, Dale Pitcher, who used to make Essence loudspeakers and electronics, is still around. His new company is called Intuitive Design, intuitiveaudio.com | |
| Using Nagra VPA to drive Soundlabs You're welcome, Dcaudio. If you have any further questions or are looking for suggestions of tube amplifiers to drive Sound Labs, feel free to contact me, since I know of several. I'll try hard to avoid any sales pitches.Brian | |
| Using Nagra VPA to drive Soundlabs I would recommend a minimum of 100 tube watts to drive the speakers well.Disclaimer: Sound Lab dealer | |
| Mobile Fidelity OML-1 - Any thoughts/opinions? Music Direct has stopped making and selling the speakers, which explains their selling off demo units. They're decent little speakers. | |

| Abbingdon Music Research CD-77 impressions? Phaelon, I am the AMR dealer in the area, currently covering a broad area in the midwest with satisfied customers who have purchased them. David and I have been in touch over the past few months, and as he said he felt like investigating the compe... | |
| I have just purchased the latest Sound Lab M1 Hey Allan, let's not be condescending toward one another. I see this thread going nowhere (and far off topic, by the way) due to differences in perception and arguing semantics. A transformer is a transformer; you contend there are none, at least ... | |
| Sound Labs Renaissance - anyone heard them? Yes, the R-3/R-4 combination were demonstrated a few years ago at CES. They are no longer on the price list but probably can be built to order. The DynaStat hybrid, which now employs the PX technology and is more substantial than before, is the mo... | |
