| Can You Go From Good To Dazzling Timo, I have a pair of Oval 9's on order...next go around. I will look into the 8's. By the way, are you Finnish or is this just another A'gon name?Nrchy, I will check the Purist out. I must admit that it is very difficult to stay on top of all th... | |
| Aleph 3 versus Cary CAD 50MKII on Thiel CS1.6 It's hard to beat the sound of an Aleph 3. There is a sweetness and purity that is very expensive to replace. Give it serious consideration. | |
| Anybody have some experience with Bedini amps? Airtaxi, call John or Gary and they will walk you through it all, as well as talk about other mods and possible changes. A new pair of vintage chassis 25/25 are $1500. I believe that all the amps are the same price as all they do is add or subtrac... | |
| Proac vs. Meadowlark Well, you are either a glutton for punishment or you are giving yourself more than a fair chance to pick a speaker that you want to keep for a while. ProAc is very stand dependent, so a floor stander is a more desired option. Well, I like monitors... | |
| Proac vs. Meadowlark OK, the field is opened. While KT 88 had his mind set for either ProAc or Meadowlark, new input has surfaced. OK, if we are opening this up, let's keep it focused. KT 88 please present your parameters. Existing system. Objectives. Budget. Etc. Let... | |
| Looking for an amp for my Proac 1.5's. ProAc, as mentioned, love tubes. Look at all the options and balance them against your budget. CJ, Cary, VTL and BAT are the better tube options. CJ MF amps, older Bedini, and Pass are ss options. You can also look at Blue Circle. It's up to you, ... | |
| Proac vs. Meadowlark Hey!ProAc and Meadowlark are two of my favorite brands. Comparing the two is always interesting. It is a great case of how different is not necessarily better. Just different and good in their own ways.Anyway, it's Sunday night so let's have some ... | |
| Theta Miles against Jolida JD100 The Theta is a classic. It is better across the board to the Jolida. But, the Jolida will set a new standard. The issue is now longevity. The Theta transport cannot be replaced. The Jolida is repairable for some time. Sonically and musically give ... | |
| Proac vs. Meadowlark RG is on target with his assessment. I gave my ProAcs (1SC) up due to fatigue. They are great but they also became bright sounding. I also found the 1 SC better than the 1.5 and 2.5 both were bass heavy to me and did not have that ProAc magic. (An... | |
| Proac vs. Meadowlark Go with the Shearwater. I am not convinced about the new Meadowlarks yet. They are a different sound and I need to listen to them more. They still out perform many more expensive speakers. But my old ears do not want to change too much.Although yo... | |
| Monitor selection The B&W can cause fatigue. They sound great at first and then begin to grate on you. Totems are nice but can sound a little closed in. Play with placement on them. The Vireos are very musical and detailed. They sound best off the wall and 6-7 ... | |
| Proac vs. Meadowlark I have had both ProAc Response 1 SC and Meadowlark Kestrel and Verio in my system with a CJ MV 60. They all work well with tubes. Each has its own strengths depending on what you want and expect. ProAc is more detailed or maybe brighter than Meado... | |
| Mono block suggestions Look at the Blue Circles. Small and very good sounding. They may be more than you want to spend, but worth considering. | |
| Universal transport help... Be careful with the DV 8300. I had one dead out of the box and a second one that sounded great and was wonderful for about a week. I mean it was one of the cleanest and best CD player for the price, but it has problems. Marantz took care of me. Ex... | |
| Musical Fidelity CD-Pre24 Opinion I was disappointed with it. I was expecting more from it. I tried it with the matching amp and ARC and Maggies. It did nothing in either system. It is not very exciting. Actually it was dark and uninvolving. Follow the advice above. |
