| Good percussion You might also want to check out this recent thread...lots of recommendations...Brian | |
| Not recognized in their lifetime? Hack, I agree Frank Zappa was very misunderstood. But what did you expect for someone who named his children Dweezil and Moon Unit? | |
| Speakers that work with Atma-sphere M60 amps. Add Lowthers to the list. Members of the Chicago Horn Club heard a pair of Lowther PM2As driven by a pair of Atma-Sphere MA-1s a few weeks ago to great effect, perhaps overkill since M-60s and probably an S-30 would have been adequate. Jon Ver Hal... | |
| Proac Response 2.5 vs D25 The newer D series from ProAc tend to be less tube friendly, since they are rated at 4 ohms nominal. They have been using SS amplification at recent shows as I recall.Brian | |
| Wilson Audio, Talon, Rockport and B&W Jtinn: your comments are inaccurate. For example, see Michael Fremer's review of the Rockport Antares and measurements taken. By the way, they sell for $41,500. | |
| Wilson Audio, Talon, Rockport and B&W There are huge differences between the speakers you mention, even though some of them are in similar price ranges. If you are looking to make a final purchase, I suggest you consider the history of the respective companies with regards to introduc... | |
| Sound lab - Eminent Technology - Innersound As a Sound Lab owner and dealer, I agree using multiple Marquees would not be satifactory. I suggest finding the space for at least a pair of Dynastats. The other speakers mentioned beam significantly due to their flat panels, which may be a major... | |
| Spectacular Drum Set? More votes for Ed Graham Hot Stix and Dafos. Stunning on vinyl.Forget Charlie Byrd on Crystal Clear: very dry and not necessarily realistic.A couple others that come to mind:Percussion Music on Nonesuch, on HP's list for a long time.Drum Improvs, ... | |
| Where are they now...? Yeah, that's a hoot, Viridian! His amp sounded great and ran hot enough to fry eggs on - makes you wonder if any of them still work. I remember the preamp, too.Brian | |
| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? Jeff, I agree the Soundwaves were pretty darn nice... Another speaker people miss are the Scientific Fidelity Teslas, a true bargain in their day. | |
| Custom Power Cord Company Paul, I stopped using a CPCC Top Gun Super Power Block line conditioner some time ago, but it's a decent product. That said, I should give a disclaimer that I'm a dealer for Creative Cable Concepts, a company founded by a former associate of CPCC ... | |
| Best Tube Preamp for JC-1 Monoblocks? Audio_girl, as far as I know no date has been set for introduction of the JC-2 since it is still in development and getting the details worked out for production takes time. Early '06 probably is realistic, although late '05 may be possible. In an... | |
| Tube Research GT-100, GT-200, Lamm 1.2 for 4 ohm 711, the TRL amps are very nice. I would suggest bringing the rest of your system and room up toward that level before taking the plunge. Everything matters.Brian | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Sean, based upon my limited exposure to the other units I'll keep the G&D/Entec but am always open to suggestions. We didn't listen to the combo except for a while before the other players were put in, and not all were present to hear it. Anyo... | |
| Review: H2o Audio Signature Monoblocks Muralman1, shielding may help but won't stop back EMF from digital gear that can get into the rest of the system. |
