| Consumer Electronic Show ? Nrchy, you are putting words in my mouth. I have been attending CES for well over 20 years and will continue to attend.Brian | |
| Consumer Electronic Show ? Nrchy, the purposes of RMAF and CES are quite different. RMAF is consumer oriented, while CES is for the trade. At CES some high end audio companies choose to have static displays only, although most try to demonstrate. Show conditions being what ... | |
| ASR Basis Exclusive or Einstein The TT's Choice I haven't compared the Einstein against the ASR, but it has stood up to other competition here. Dead quiet, dynamic, great weight and image density, very musical and harmonically fleshed out. Einstein has been around in Germany for at least 15 yea... | |
| If boulder is tops what is second tier? I would put the Einstein up against any of them, not just because I'm a dealer.Brian | |
| TG SLVR Power cord; substitute or something better Tplavas, there are significant differences with various types of silver. Classifying it as bright and hashy may be accurate for some but certainly not for all, and in my experience it can reveal harshness elsewhere in the chain. By the same token,... | |
| The current SOTA SACD player Frankg, while you're at RMAF there are some others you should check out, such as the new Accustic Arts transport and DAC. I don't sell them but have heard some good things about them.Brian | |
| Pipedreams vs. Soundlabs Thanks, Rwd, I try to explain things as clearly as possible. I've been into high end for going on 35 years and have seen many companies come and go, especially speaker manufacturers. I try to stick to what I know best and avoid criticizing competi... | |
| TG SLVR Power cord; substitute or something better Tplavas, the wall plug used on the SLVR is a silver plated Pass & Seymour extra-hard use spec grade unit, not hospital grade, while the IEC plug is a silver plated Schurter, I believe. Bob Crump spent many years comparing many devices and taki... | |
| TG SLVR Power cord; substitute or something better I'll save you the trouble of contacting Frank. Frank was not involved with Bob Crump but came into the picture after Bob passed away, although he and Bob were acquainted. Frank has not made any changes to the products but meanwhile has been experi... | |
| TG SLVR Power cord; substitute or something better I am a TG Audio dealer. I have no trouble getting orders filled for SLVRs and other TG cables, since someone else is building the products these days. As best I can tell they sound identical to what Bob Crump used to build.Brian | |
| The current SOTA SACD player Trcnetmsncom, did you actually author that post? | |
| Pipedreams vs. Soundlabs Dracule1, from the standpoint of chest thumping bass one gets from cones, you are correct. But when the large (often 48" diameter or more) bass drum is hit at the symphony, do you get that effect? I think not. You sense the sudden air movement as ... | |
| Pipedreams vs. Soundlabs They are quite different. For one thing, Pipedreams have separate subwoofers which have to be carefully placed in the room to try to get integration with the main towers. Secondly, they must be biamped. Another difference is the room size required... | |
| Lector 7T and tube rolling The distributor has spoken with people who have tried many, many different tubes. At the end of the day, the stock tubes turn out to be pretty darn good, which says Lector did their homework. As a new Lector dealer eagerly awaiting the CDP-7TL any... | |
| Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it Tabl10s, you shouldn't believe everything you're told. They are different. |
