| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hifiman5,In addition to Herbie Mann there's Pepper Adam's on baritone saxophone and Paul Chambers on bass. I hope you find these recordings as enjoyable as I do.Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank,Half of the songs listed on this CD are from the "-Chet" recording. This is an excellent example of vintage Chet Baker in top form. Two songs "It Never Entered My Mind" and "September Song" feature guitarist Kenny Burrell. The combination of... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I’ll go one step further Teajay. The problem is not exclusively with some "print " reviewers but high end consumers as well who will reject the idea of lower cost audio products performing at high levels. There is a mindset that believes the more... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hello Teajay, Thanks for the initial cursory listening impression of the Tekton Ulfberths. I find it so interesting that this speaker and the Double Impacts are so easy to drive. Your room has considerable cubic volume to say the least. It's nea... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Brotw, From all indications I’m aware of the 508ia is a higher tier amplifier in all regards compared with the 218ia. No put down of the 218ia at all. According to fellow audiogoners Wig and Waltersalas the 508ia (805 tube) is extraordinarily good... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Brotw, I believe that you’ll be very happy with either the Triode Labs 2A3 SET or the Line Magnetic 218i a 845 SET amplifiers. It seems that the 218ia is a scaled down version of the 518ia. Some people have some hesitation about LM because it’s a ... | |
| Preamp w/ a budget of $2000 Agree, I had noted this in an earlier post that the OP "clearly " expressed a desire for a "clinical " character. John and Kalali are right in that some people seem to be recommending what they like rather than what was originally requested. Or ... | |
| Shindo Labs Amps and Preamps Jond, I believe that getting these speakers is a very good move given your current components. . I'm confident that your system will reproduce music marvelously. Charles | |
| Sarah Vaughan....Best Performances and Recordings 1 "Sarah Vaughan + 2"Early 1960s studio recording. Trio setting, beautiful. Acoustic bass and guitarist Barney Kessel. 2 "After Hours "early 1960s studio trio, again, beautiful! Acoustic bass and guitarist Mundell Lowe.3 "Sarah Vaughan and Cliffor... | |
| Shindo Labs Amps and Preamps 2psyop, I think the biggest barrier regarding Line Magnetic is their Chinese orgin, for some people this is a problem. If judged purely on their sound quality they are considered high tier and serious audio products. Many comments from owners a... | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Ralph,One minor correction to your post above. Yes I have those Total Eclipse speakers that you described however it uses the Scanspeak revelator soft some tweeter rather than a ribbon.The Total Victory is the speaker model that used the ribbon. ... | |
| Lesson Learned +1 glennewdick. It's funny how we humans have to periodically be reminded of such simple truths. Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Evolvist, You are most certainly right, all amplifiers regardless of topology present some degree of tradeoffs, this is unavoidable. Super low distortion as a result of utilizing NFB then introduces the unwanted higher odd order distortion (5th,7t... | |
| Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK? Parsons, The more I think about it I believe that he didn't use a cable adapter, so his unit probably has SE outputs. Charles | |
| Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK? Hi Parsons, It was my friend's system so he did the cable connections himself behind his rack.I just assumed that his MP-1 had rca inputs. As I wrote above the sound quality was excellent with either type of cable. The MP-1 mated flawlessly with... |
