| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere I believe that you're doing fine with the Einstein and tube rolling options. I'd be surprised if you preferred the Ayre to what you have now. You're on a good path with your current direction. If you can directly compare these two, go for it. My b... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Agear,Your SOTA mechanically grounded listening room demands that the Backstage find a permanent home there. | |
| Bobby Womack passes at 70 Sad to hear this news. I have fond memories of listening to Bobby during the fun times in the 1970s. May he RIP. | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Well,We can all agree that the Apprentice is a terrific product.I look forward to Agear's inevitable purchase of the Backstage platforms and how they improve upon the Apprentice's high standards that we've established here. Agear don't keep us wai... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers I don't believe that the Apprentice change the fundamental room/speaker presentation. Depends on the recording but usually my stage begins behind the speaker's plane and goes back beyond the front wall. Some recordings place the instruments out in... | |
| What happened to Jfox "Waxing to follow" that's good to hear. | |
| What happened to Jfox Tvad , you always struck me as some one who loves music and not just an equitment geek. I'm surprised you didn't use your system for an entire year! I hope you'll enjoy music reproduction in your home.Charles, | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house I assumed Madfloyd had his tongue firmly planted in his cheek. That comment was so classically clichéd and tired. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, Thanks for the clarification. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD +1 Jafox's observations.Components that can't preserve the nautral air and 3 dimensional bloom sound dry and artificial. That bloom and air are present in live acoustic performances.I don't agree with Merrill either.What some consider accurate isn... | |
| Which high power SET Hi Clio09,Not sure if you've read the entire thread. Earlier posts have mentioned room size and listening levels as important variables that must be considered. As I told you at CES this year, your amplifier was terrific sounding. Charles, | |
| Which high power SET Keithr,I enjoy these types of discussions as they highlight the marked differences and conclusions we form. I still own an el34 PP amplifier that's 40 watts ultra linear and 20 watts triode mode. My 8 watt 300b SET literally embarrasses the PP amp... | |
| Which high power SET Pani, I appreciate your comments but I must agree with Jwm (Jeff). He and I have been good friends for many years and have heard numerous amplifiers in our respective systems the past 22 years. VTL, ARC, CJ, VAC and on and on. His 845 PSET is simp... | |
| Which high power SET It hasn't been established that the Harbeth is incompatible, just speculation. Edoit is doing fine with his present 30 watt amplifier so a similar power SET is at the very least worth an audition. Either he'll like it or he won't. Listening is the... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Meant move not moove. |
