| What kind of outlet wall plate do yo use? Albert, the price on a CTC Blowtorch has never been negotiable, no insiders discount nor accommodation. The price is what it is, because it has always been a labor of love with low markup. I own one and knew Bob Crump better than most people and k... | |
| How many have heard the Beveridge Electrostatics? Tony D, it couldn't have been the 2s you heard driven by ARC amps, as the 2s had built in amplifiers.Sanibelsteve, when do the commercials stop? Have you read the posting rules here? | |
| Wood v. Metal for stands. Is there a clear winner? Dpac996, here's an easy experiment. Take everything off one of the glass shelves, then take a key or small screwdriver and strike it, not hard of course. Does it ring? Of course it does. Ringing indicates vibrational energy that will find its way ... | |
| Anyone familiar with Hegeman/Morrison speakers I visited Don Morrison ("Morrison," as he likes to be called) in Toronto last year after making some deliveries to customers. Yes, he is a one man operation, an interesting chap, very nice if eccentric. Considering the modest associated equipment,... | |
| Acoustat , Hafler TNT and Jim Strickland The TNT amps work, but I wouldn't say are the definitive choice. You can also use Acoustat direct drive tube amps (Acoustat X et al.) with the speakers, bypassing the transformer system altogether, although the amps aren't that common and the 6HB5... | |
| Good SS Designers and their lesser known designs John Curl - Dennesen and Symmetry, to name two, although the products were not power amplifiers. | |
| What's your greatest purchase... Sound Lab Ultimate-1s. Had been through quite a few speakers until purchasing these, and later became a dealer for them. | |
| Dali MegaLine overviews from owners ? One of my customers has Megalines. The driver quality appears to be good, but the jumpers and connectors between the three sections appear to be poor, not befitting a $50k speaker, and I must assume the internal wiring and connections are similar.... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? 55dok, I may be mistaken but only some of the Dayton Wright XG-10 Mk IIs have leaf tweeters. That's what mine are. They have the XIM-11 interface module which I think is what you are referring to as well - it puts out 15 kV bias voltage instead of... | |
| AMR CD-77 There are posts in this thread by people speculating about products they have neither seen nor heard, nor are they informed about the history of the company and products except by what they have read here and perhaps in the 6moons review.I suppose... | |
| AMR CD-77 The issues mentioned by Jim affect only the pre-production units. The matter of the amplifier voltage sensing is related to an older OptiMains unit which Thorsten explained on the phone will be updated - the CD player has the updated OptiMains (th... | |
| AMR CD-77 Btstrg, please read my response to Dev.Regarding the sound, you will find out when you hear it. As an AMR dealer I am trying to avoid posting subjective impressions which could be viewed as self promotion.Brian Walshdealer | |
| AMR CD-77 Dev, you are very misinformed. You would not have been able to purchase a 'beta' unit. The design is complete, and as such no upgrades are planned nor will be needed. The AMR components are just becoming available, and any units purchased prior to... | |
| AMR CD-77 The updates are to these pre-production units ('beta' versions) which were built late last year, to bring them up to date with the production units. The updates are related to the OptiMains unit and a couple of other small items. The production un... | |
| AMR CD-77 The CD-77 and AM-77 have been here since last Wednesday. They will be updated this weekend by Thorsten Loesch and will be back here next week in time for an open house May 12th. As for the sound, it speaks for itself. |
