| Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA Discounts of that magnitude certainly are not standard, but you didn't give your source of information. A manufacturer that gets 50 percent or less of retail list price for his product sets the price higher to compensate. Consumers don't always know. | |
| Lamm M 1.2 against Tenor 300 and Boulder 2060 Two people whose ears and judgment I trust outside of my own, one who has earned significant success as a high end speaker manufacturer for quite a few years, evaluated the hybrids and the OTLs and preferred the OTLs which were clearer and more re... | |
| Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA Rwd - Kind of makes you go "hmmmm"! 50 point discount, too! | |
| $4000 to spend on a SS power amp - help me choose Yes, I owned a pair and they are powewrful indeed but no soundstage depth and too hifi sounding for my tastes.I've always had tons of depth with the JC-1s as have my customers (I'm an authorized Parasound Halo dealer), but they do sound thin while... | |

| Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA Thanks, Mark. What you heard at CES '03 was but a rough snapshot. Any time you're in the Chicago area, please be my guest and come by for a listen.Brian | |
| Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA Mark, if someone is happy changing his system every six months or so, there's no point of further discussion, cost not being an issue. Some people go through cars, boats, whatever often enough to make your head spin. Auto nervosa? Not much differe... | |
| Tube amp for Avalon Eidolon ? Along with Rushton's recommendation, I'd strongly recommend CAT.Brian | |
| Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA Entertaining, yes, informative, uh...I guess I'm silly for finding something that gets things right in the first place and leaving it alone. There is no perfect component or speaker, just different approaches and I guess I'm old school wanting pro... | |
| Turntable or go into SACD, Simon Yorke vs EMM Lab A Simon Yorke or other high end analog setup would be a wiser purchase. Digital continues to evolve. SACD is good but isn't the end of the road, no matter what you read. We will continue to see good redbook-only playback equipment that, at least t... | |
| Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA AFAIK Metralla heard the VR-11s in Las Vegas (he said, "Based on my auditioning") as did I, and he and I got together several times during the show.Most likely a matter of preferences as well as manufacturer/dealer and dealer/customer relationship... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 Monoblock Break-in Period. Answers to your first question: both.Rather than repeating all of the information posted here and on Audio Asylum, I suggest that you search the archives. | |
| what preamp for Tenor 150Hps or 300Hp ? Thom, you might want to take a step back and reflect upon your reasons for considering such a system. If I may be so superficial as to attach a price tag to such a system, how many systems have you heard which retail for over 100k USD? What differ... | |
| what preamp for Tenor 150Hps or 300Hp ? Metralla couldn't be more right. Get a good basic system but don't go wild before you have a chance to become accustomed to what you are hearing, and progress from there. Spending many tens of thousands of dollars as a newcomer to the high end may... | |
| ARC vs Atma-Sphere and ARC vs VTL Amplifiers - did you really mean to say "it's unlikely you'll be wanting for bass augmentation especially if you go with the M-3s"? or did you intend to say M-2s?Oops, good catch.Especially since the ceiling height is 10 ft., M-2s may be the way to go. I thi... |
