| Amplifier and preamplifier for Wilson Watt puppy 7 Have you tried a different digital front end? | |
| ESL speakers : looking for something..need help Old Quad ESLs could be a good choice if the width isn't a problem and you don't listen to a lot of rock.Brian | |
| ARC vs Atma-Sphere and ARC vs VTL Amplifiers Hi_hifi, I'll try to offer a little advice and encouragement on your intended system, since I own Sound Lab U-1s and am a Sound Lab dealer located in the Chicago area.First of all, hats off to you on an excellent choice of speakers! (grains of sal... | |
| Retubing ARC sp11: Suggestions? Speak with Andy Bowman at Vintage Tube Services in Michigan. He's been around a long time and knows his stuff, verified by people whose judgment I trust. He has an excellent setup for testing and matching tubes.Brian | |
| MG 20.1 or Wisdom audio m-75 Tpsonic, Sound Lab builds proper crates for all of their products, as they don't care to have them come back broken. Their backplates are designed to fit into the rear frames or enclosures without charged components being exposed - it is something... | |
| SoundLab A-1 vs Martin Logan CLS IIz's Harry, my name is Brian but maybe I can offer some help anyway.As said, CLSes are very good, with Sound Labs being the next and perhaps final step in your quest.As suggested it is unlikely you would need subwoofers with A-1s unless you're playing ... | |
| MG 20.1 or Wisdom audio m-75 Shaman, if I had to choose between the two I'd probably pick the Maggies, for several reasons. While they're power hungry and more or less require biamping in order to perform their best, they have a few things going for them. They are dipole plan... | |
| Merlin owners,any thoughts....... Tvad, my point is because people are in most cases reluctant to return something they purchase, or they either don't get around to returning it or don't want to bother... I regret it if you read it as a pointed attempt to dissuade, as I'm aware of... | |
| Merlin owners,any thoughts....... I have heard several of the cables mentioned above, including those praised by 1markr and Listener57... As Tmiddle says and other Merlin owners in the past have said, TG Audio cables and jumpers have been found consistently to work well... Merlins... | |
| Emperical Audio Mods for Parasound Halo JC-1'S Based upon the extent of the modifications the price sounds commensurate, however, and it's a big however, it voids the Parasound warranty, which is ten years parts, five years labor. The mod is nothing I would consider nor could I recommend to my... | |
| A SoundLab question Casters are available as accessories, useful mostly for folks who either want to be able to adjust their speaker positions more easily or perhaps more likely want to be able to push the speakers off to the side when they're not being used. Sound L... | |
| Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10 Mahandave, those binding posts on the Parasounds were chosen for a reason, that overall they sound better than anything else... Superior Electric binding posts are the original, much imitated with a lot of cheap lookalikes that don't sound anywher... | |
| Why so few record cleaners for sale? How the $1795 Loricraft PRC3 compares with the $1000 VPI HW-17 is at least somewhat subjective. Does it do a better job? Based upon feedback from an HW-17 owner who loaned me three of his most valuable records to see how the Loricraft would do, it... | |
| Why so few record cleaners for sale? Nrchy, I've seen the SOTA a number of times but never compared its performance directly, although the extra features look to be nice to have. I think if the price difference between them were, say $50, the choice would be obvious.The VPI 17 is a s... | |
| How do you get to listen to high end speakers? Nm512, it's sad to hear a story like yours. A lot of us have been in your situation at one time or another, and for those who haven't, count your blessings.Sedona's example is perfect. His brother did the right thing, going back to the Mercedes de... |
