| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... Chadeffect,Nice post!I think you nailed what M. Fremer was trying to explain.The Halcro is a good example.An amplifier that meets many hifi criteria but just seems to lack that essential sense of life,involvement and emotion.As you say, it has no(... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Hi Gsm18439, I can understand Phaelon`s point to a degree. There are people on this thread, you,phil(213cobra) and others with perspective and opinions I respect. If you all say the DEF IV is exceptional I`ll accept that. However on 3 seperate occ... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-6 or Wilson Audio Watt/Puppies 5 Nik,You made it easy.Your amp will sing with the right speaker,the Wilson is`nt a good impedance load match at all.Regards, | |
| CAT SL1 vs Modwright LS 36.5 Clarrie I think it`s very clear that preferences can vary significantly.I`ll join the chorus and state the obvious, listen for yourself when/if possible and trust your ears and your spontaneous reactions. If you do that you won`t go wrong.There`s ... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... French fries,Maybe it`s the way your writing comes across on a forum thread, but you do come off as 'personally offended' and hurt by Fremer`s contrary opinion. If I wrong I do apologize.Regards, | |
| Starting from Scratch -Please Help Pick 1 out of 3 Well since this is a forum solicitation for opinion/speculation of sonic results I`ll join the fun. My choice would be the VAC electronics driving the the Devore Orangutan speakers.High quality tube amplification with high effiency-easy to drive s... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... I feel the same as Elizabeth, why do some people feel the need for validation? If you love this amplifiers that all that should matter. M. Fremer heard them in his system and did`nt like them, what`s wrong with that? He gave his opinion, nothing m... | |
| CAT SL1 vs Modwright LS 36.5 Clarrie,Just google Coincident Statement Linestage review, and that one and all other reviews will be found.Regards, | |
| CAT SL1 vs Modwright LS 36.5 Clarrie,Just for another perspective besides this thread, Enjoy the Music.com did a review of the CSL and made direct comparisons to the reviewer`s reference CAT preamp.Very enlightening and informative since you expressed an interest in both thes... | |
| CAT SL1 vs Modwright LS 36.5 Daveyf,Both Rfogel8 and Jwm have first rate analog systems and large record collections.I was a long time TT guy but my Yamamoto DAC and PWT combo have retired my Linn LP-12(I enjoyed my former Well Tempered TT more than the Linn).In terms of musi... | |
| CAT SL1 vs Modwright LS 36.5 Clarrie,I`m not familiar with the Modwright 36.5 but I`ve always read and heard nothing but good comments regarding it.I`ve heard various CAT preamps in systems of people I know well and gave my viewpoint above. The Coincident linestage(CSL) to be... | |
| CAT SL1 vs Modwright LS 36.5 Daveyf,Here`s the deal, you`re happy with the CAT and at the end of the day that`s all that should matter to you. If others don`t share your opinion, so what,you`re content with your choices(or should be). As already stated,Rfogel8 and Jwm have ow... | |
| CAT SL1 vs Modwright LS 36.5 Well, since comparisons have been made, I`ll give my impression. The CAT is good and depending on system make up and matching can sound very good. The Atmasphere MP-1 is superior sounding and IMO is just in a higher tier altogether.It is across th... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Sorry Zu owners for the 300b tube discussion but I just had to respond to morgan`s earlier post. Morgan the EML mesh is considered excellent and upper tier(I hav`nt heard it myself). The Psvane is said to be a bit better than the Black Treasure ve... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Gsm18439,Funny, you must have replied to morgan`s post just before I did. We had the same thought about the Takatsuki tubes.O f course I agree with you.Regards, |
