| CAT JL-2 Mk2 vs LAMM M1.2 ... on WP 6 or 7 Jafox lives in the Minneapolis area. Crazy idea - I'm in the Chicago area which is about halfway in between :-)Brian | |
| CAT JL-2 Mk2 vs LAMM M1.2 ... on WP 6 or 7 Raquel: I apologize for not responding about the differences between the JL3 and JL3 Signature, although I asked my CAT dealer friend and haven't received a reply (how's that for a feeble excuse?). One of the significant differences are the output... | |
| CAT JL-2 Mk2 vs LAMM M1.2 ... on WP 6 or 7 The CAT JL2 is a better sounding amp than JL1s even though it is less powerful; the JL3s are better still and would be recommended at least with the larger Wilsons. | |
| Inverted phase preamps? Elizabeth wrote:Since 50% of all recordings are phase-inverted, and from one to the next you can't tell except by playing, I would say it does not really matter!!!!!So just mark on the record sleeve or CD case whether the recording is in phase or ... | |
| VAC PHI 2.0 or CTC Blowtorch or... Exlibris, please email me for contact information on the person with the Blowtorch.Raquel, there's a story behind the name Blowtorch, perhaps told best by John Curl of CTC Builders on AA:Our motto is:'Blowtorch by CTC. Better than sex, almost as g... | |
| VAC PHI 2.0 or CTC Blowtorch or... Exlibris, I heard my Blowtorch compared with a Meitner late last fall in an all out system. The Blowtorch had cleaner highs, as expressed by the other person, and in my opinion had greater dynamics and threw a bigger stage. The differences were ap... | |
| VAC PHI 2.0 or CTC Blowtorch or... I have a Blowtorch and have never heard it either...Brian | |
| The most placement forgiving planar speaker? Teajay, I can't speak for others but have had a Blowtorch preamp for several years (my system description is linked below) and so am very familiar with it. Compared with other units it simply gets out of the way of the music better, transporting t... | |
| Sonics of Soundlabs Chris, I hesitate to say this for fear of offending someone, but I'll say it anyway: the Crown Macro Reference is, in my opinion, a harsh sounding amplifier. And listening to only one speaker, quite possibly with the bias set too low, is hardly a ... | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables Cwlondon, I've been pursuing high end for just as long and remember the early exotic cables. Of course ths topic of this thread is 'biggest and baddest...' but it sounds more like a phallic reference than anything else. Otherwise everyone would fi... | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables Cwlondon, weight is hardly a valid measure of quality except in some source components and speakers where reactive mass can make a difference. In cabling there are other aspects to consider.Brian | |
| Looking for an amp to drive Eidolons Vision. John, sounds like a heckuva party! I've been told I should charge admission :) A couple of months would work better.Brian | |
| Looking for an amp to drive Eidolons Vision. I think it's worth mentioning the Atma-Sphere MA-1s Jafox heard here last December were virtually new out of the box, with just a few days' use, although they did pretty well. The price on the MA-2s has been reduced to $29,000/pair since Glacier A... | |
| Anyone familar with the Swan line of speakers? Raquel, you may be thinking of Samadhi. Swans speakers were made in Canada several years ago, Prince Edward Island to be precise. A company by the same name, not sure if there is any relation but doubtful, has surfaced in the past couple of years ... | |
| Wilson Audio, Talon, Rockport and B&W Jtinn: Thanks.Mbadscl: Best of luck with the B&W speakers you purchased!Brian Walsh |
