| 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... | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER Jc51373 - When the comparisons were made, were levels matched? | |
| Dayton Wright XG-10 MK2 Yes, I have a pair here, along with a pair of XW-10 subwoofers. A lot of information on them, including manuals, can be found on the Dayton Wright website which Mike Wright maintains.Brian Walsh | |
| Any experience with the Proac Response 5? One of my customers has owned Response 5s for several years. Good sounding speakers with good frequency extension. Contrary to what was said above, he uses solid state amplification to good effect, although they sound excellent with tubes as well.... | |
| I have just purchased the latest Sound Lab M1 Dennis, you are the only person I've heard of saying Atma-Sphere MA-2s not being adequate to drive Sound Labs. There are quite a few happy owners out there using that combination, and for that matter MA-1s with the power supply boost option. You d... | |
| Good impedance match for Atma-Sphere MP3? Bill, the S-30 won't drive Wilson Sophias well, but MA-1s, especially Mk IIIs, will do a wonderful job. A pair of M-60s could be used if budget is limited but you'd likely want to use a pair of ZERO autoformers with them. The MA-1s will do a bette... | |
| Record shops in Minneapolis/St Paul MN A visit to the Twin Cities always costs me more than expected :-) Ralph at Atma-Sphere has posted an outstanding list. Gonna have to hit more of 'em the next time I visit him. | |
| Ugliest Speakers??? Popluhv wrote:whoa!http://www.enjoythemusic.com/Magazine/factory/tlg/I was there, and Steve wouldn't have known about them if I hadn't arranged the event and taken him there. Yeah, they're kind of an acquired taste :-) They were driving them to ve... | |

| RMAF: My favorites, so-so's, and disappointments I agree with several of Dracule1's comments, especially the so-so's and the disappointments. I looked forward to hearing the Beveridges and listened twice but came away unimpressed, even though I wanted to like them and know Rick Beveridge to be a... | |
| Audio Shows in Houston? Lg1, to the best of my knowledge there is nothing going on in Houston as far as audio shows, but there are a number of serious audiophiles in the area, some of whom I know and will be glad to put you in touch with. | |
| Atmasphere ma1,VTL mb250, Jolida JD 3000 The impedance of current Sound Lab models, namely the PX series, is being measured by Roger West at this time. I requested it since we are looking at a large installation which may involve driving more than one speaker from an amplifier, possibly ... | |
| What's new on Einstein the tube mkII? I have the Mk II here. I understand that significant differences include the following:Input stage significantly improved - quieter, more resolution.Left and right boards floating - spring isolated (were tied together, non-floating in Mk I). This ... |
