| Levinson vs Threshold vs Plinius vs Bry You could also try a Krell KAV-250a. Very musical, very authoritative bass (though not quite as much as the biggest amps). But by far the best combination of positive attributes in an affordable and convenient package; AND EXTREMELY POWERFUL (500 ... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? I feel as many (most?) reviewers do: That tube amps emphasizing even order harmonics (that are "consonant" with the music) doesn't BEGIN to explain the positive aspects of a tube amp...BECAUSE most all tube amplifiers DON'T JUST have higher even o... | |
| Turntable Recommendations please. A friend of mine is best buds with Mike Yee. SO WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BOB CLARKE at MS? You're a photographer? My parents are aerial photographers. | |
| Demise of "Audio" magazine The Inner Ear is a decent read, but I don't subscribe. HFN&RR is interesting also, but hard to get all the way through... | |
| Tukan VS Legacy studio If you have a small room, you probably don't need a sub. But for a large room, a sub is the only way you can have flat in room response to 20 Hz and below...As long as the phase is continuously variable, there's no problem augmenting a good one wi... | |
| Benz Micro vs. Koetsu If you think that's expensive, just wait til vinyl actually does start to die (when babyboomers get really old, in 10 or 15 years)...I have the Aesthetix. It works very well, and I highly recommend it. You only need to use it about every 10 or mor... | |
| Power Cord for Spectral Amp I'm evaluating AC cords for my Krell (don't know how they'd sound with your Spectral). I'll post the results soon. | |
| speaker cable In all liklihood you'll prefer larger AWG with the Adcom. Good luck. Hope you have room treatments. | |
| Benz Micro vs. Koetsu I too have the LO4. I've not heard them side by side, but I don't see the Red Signature beating the Ruby 2, unless you value midrange liquidity VERY MUCH over dynamics and detail retrieval. The Urushi would probably be superior in most ways to the... | |
| speaker cable You didn't mention your amp...If it's a beefy one, larger AWG wire will be good. If it's not, you'll lose bass focus with the wire's higher capacitance. | |
| Best electrostatic in smaller room? Please help! I heard Sound Lab Primas in a small room like that, and there was zero imaging precision. They sounded great very quiet, but got congested with louder playback levels. The power amp was a VTL. JAZZZMAN, you should hear some really good cone/dome s... | |
| Need Phono Cartridge for Rega Planar 3 The Sumiko Blue Point Special cartridge isn't far behind a Benz Glider. I've used both... | |
| Best headphones? John_l: I'd be interested in hearing how you think they compare with the 600's. You sould try them sometime... | |
| Comments on the Sonus Faber Grand Piano Don't expect the lowest bass response. Good luck and happy listening! | |
