| The question "The Acoustat Delema" Find a pair of the Acoustat direct drive servo amps as used in earlier models such as the Acoustat X and Monitor III. If you do, contact me and I'll put you in touch with a couple of friends who are very familiar with the amps and ways to improve ... | |
| ARC vs Atma-Sphere and ARC vs VTL Amplifiers Hi_hifi, are you the same person who just posted over on the SLOG site? Where are you located? I do offer some of what you mention, although ARC isn't something I demo nor would recommend over the others.Brian | |
| Difference between CAT JL1 limited and jl3 One difference is that the JL3, which replaced the JL1, uses Teflon circuit boards.An earlier response I tried to post was not posted because it contained a warning about a seller. Contact me for information.Brian | |
| Comparing sound of Tenor 150 HPs vs. Lamm M1.2 Thom, with all due respect, I urge you to get on a plane and go listen to the stuff. You aren't doing yourself any favors by relying on others' opinions of expensive audio gear that ultimately is a matter of personal taste. Buying blind is not wis... | |
| Comparing sound of Tenor 150 HPs vs. Lamm M1.2 Why would you buy such a thing before listening to it? Would you buy a car, especially a brand you're not familiar with, without a test drive?Try before you buy. Insist on it.Brian | |
| Loricraft vs. VPI 16.5 record cleaner If you can sort of justify it, it's a no brainer, in my biased opinion. The improvement going from a 16.5 to the Loricraft was a nice surprise. Records thought to be worn were restored to like new.Brian | |
| Where are they now...? Bruce Thigpen, one of the nice guys in the business, is still around. John Bau got out of the business many years ago. Walt Bender stopped publishing Audiomart several years ago, although I imagine he still has quite a bit of gear around his house... | |
| Perfectionist Audio Components Pro Reference II I think you are going back quite a few years, since according to one person, Mel Hodes died at least ten years ago. He was very knowledgeable, though, a sincere dealer with a good ear.Brian | |
| DNA Sequence I couldn't stay in the room at CES 2003 for more than a couple of minutes. Painful. | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Albert, Purist is not the only company making audio cables using fluid. Creative Cable Concepts is another.Brian | |
| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner The content of this thread has become sadly laughable. On one side there are people posting their subjective opinions, debating which is better (a good thing), a few of them beating their chests for whatever reasons, some with vested interests. An... | |
| A little levity on September 1st People who say:"It goes without saying that". If it does, why say it?"You're more than welcome." How can you be MORE than welcome?Yeah, "to be honest with you" basically says, "Normally I don't tell the truth." Why would you trust anyone who says ... | |
| CAT SL1 Legend or First Sound? Kevin is correct, the CAT is available with or without phono, although many opt for it. Some options are available, including volume taper and adjustable cartridge loading while listening to music.Brian | |
| Avantgarde Horns - amps you've tried and love? One of my customers has Duos and had been using a Berning Siegfried 300B. He replaced it with a Kronzilla and reports good results. Anyone wanting more information, please email me offline.Brian |
