| Cinepro system at HI FI 2004 You did not have to be in the room to hear or experience thier system. Every room within 5 of theirs suffered. Stereophile should consider refunds to several exhibitors and place all HT exhibits on separate floors for all future shows. Silverline ... | |
| Conrad Johnson MV60SE vs. Audio Research VS55 There was an indirect comparison (back to back reviews) about a year ago between the MV60 (not se version) and the ARC in HiFi+. Their conclusion was that the CJ, even then, was a better amp. From my personal experience, the MV60SE is a clear winn... | |
| Help me spend my $1500, interated or separate? Portal Panache. More musical than the A300 and more alive than the I-5. It will be a very good match for the 3.3s. | |
| ProAc Response 1SC vs. Revel M20 These are two very different speakers. There are other options in this price range. If you consider that the 1SC need very good stands, your budget moves to about $26-2700. But, the real issue is what are you seeking to accomplish? What is in the ... | |
| Blue Circle BC-24 & BC-28 How do they compare?? I have my personal opinions. The 24 is sweeter than the 28, but the 28 is more liquid with tons of head room. You can improve the sound on the 24 by changing the tubes. You just leave the 28 alone. Overall, they are similar. There are two very acc... | |
| Any Problems with Conrad Johnson Premier 140? I think many people purchased the 140 not giving too much thought to its size or the need for a truly superb front end. There is no question that it is a big amp, 18x18 and 95 pounds. There may even be some perceptions that because it is not a "ty... | |
| Anyone heard the new Theta Gen VIII ? I know the Theta very well and compared it to 3 other players. The Muse Ten with an attenuator module was the better of all three. It was more musical and had better mid-bass and overall soundstage. The Muse offered specificity and dynamics that I... | |
| Selling speakers here at Audiogon Packing: No one will pay any potential insurance claim unless you pack as close to the orginal packaging as possible. You will need a minimum of 2" around each speaker using a double walled box. UPS wants 4". I suggest that you look in the Yellow ... | |
| Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ? Having been a speaker manufacturer 25 years ago and getting out of the game to re-enter the consulting arena, I have to say Penaudio stopped me dead in the water. Silverline follows them. But, at the end of the day, let your ears decide, not any t... | |
| MUSE 9 SigG4 vs Camelot Rdtbl III vs EAD vs Ikemi I have never heard the EAD, but of the remaining players, the Muse is the clear winner. It offers resolution, detail/accuracy, dynamic contrast and specificity that the others cannot come close to. Besides that it plays pure music. It is involving... | |
| Blue Circle bc24 vs Aleph 3 The BC will be more musical, dynamic and provide (IMO) beter resolution, specificity and dynamic contrast. They are really two very good but very different amps. | |
| Wilson Benesch ARC vs. Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE I will not add more to Golden ears' comments other than the fact that the ARCs draw you into the music. The 1.3SE's are lovely (and I like them), but they do not involve you the same way. | |
| MCormack RLD-1 or Muse Model 3? Two good preamps. The Muse will add the last elements of transparency, quietness, detail and music to the RLD. This may reflect that fact that it is balanced (RCAs also present) or the fact that each input is gain adjustable. Or, it's just plain b... | |
| Best Monitor speaker - low volume level listening This is also a function of the amp. But the Penaudio speakers will play just as well at high or low volumes. Silverline SR 17 will also but need a really massive stand to sound their best. | |
| Muse sonic signature After some time I finally got back to looking for a new CDP. My short list came down to Audio Note, Theta, Muse and a combination of transports with a Bel Canto Dac 2. I used 4K as my cut off point for pricing. I ended up going with a Muse 10 with... |
