| Luxman L505u . . . why not? Jimbo, thanks for taking the time to write that. Your opinions are just as valid to me as from any on here.I've only heard the Leben with the new Zu Essence. And while as good as it was, it may not have been the best matchup. I think the Zu's need... | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? Hi Jimthewebguy, I'd love to read about the comparison between your luxman and the lil leben. I have yet to hear a luxman, but I've heard the leben you mention.ThanksChas | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus VS WT reference The GT's plinth is aluminum. No difference in sound between the two, as I can detect.And yes, yes, yes, Samtse, if you have a reference already or know its sound, then you must have an Amadeus. (No kidding)And yes, I don't care for the name, and y... | |
| Well Tempered Classic TT Belt Replacement Try Stanalog, I think he's still going. He was handling the older WT's. Toffco is handling the new Amadeus, yet he's such a nice guy he might be able to help.Yes, only use their belt. | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus VS WT reference Yes, proof is in the listening, although I'm fond of pudding. You could try and analyze the construction, Firebaugh certainly has, for years, and this is his best effort, regardless of price. Speaking of price, I wouldn't be throwing around terms ... | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus VS WT reference As great as I thought the reference to be, the amadeus is in a different league entirely, and it costs less! The amadeus has a way of making music that the reference can't approach.So yes, you need to change. If you could hear them side by side yo... | |
| hardwood floor and speaker Yes, carriage bolts, that's it.Also, if you like one of the Herbie solutions, there is one that allows you to slide your speakers if need be. I bought the wafers that go under my brass pucks and they stick like glue to the floor once the stands/sp... | |
| hardwood floor and speaker Yes, lots of options...I went with Herbie's under my floorspikes, sounds fine, and they're cheap.Some people also go to the rounded- nut type of stand spike, sorry, forgot what they're called. You shouldn't have any problem coming up with something. | |
| Comments on Tannoy Kensington SE - Room size Hi Kipp, why the ST200's? wouldn't that be a step down in the line? I thought the Prestige series were the beesknees?A reviewer I pay attention to, Jeff Day, now of positive feedback, is getting a pair of westminsters sometime soon. I hope he post... | |
| Top Luxman integrated - 509u or 590Aii? If you keep reading these posts you'll stay very confused.Eventually only you can pull the trigger.Good luck! | |
| Any stellar performances of Irish music... Forgot to add, look for the Shanachie label as well, they had quite a few lp pressings out there. Audiofeil has a nice list for you. | |
| Vandersteens Perhaps, but given a good amp (they are a bit amp finicky) the sound can be quite close. We found you also need to sit closer to the 1's than the 2's. The 1's are an extremely good buy if that's all you can afford. I can't remember any other thous... | |
| Any stellar performances of Irish music... OMG, Sinead, Haley, Celtic Women? Any true Irishman would throw himself on a spit of hot coals rather than listen to that. No more need be said of that ilk.Go to Topic records website, go to the link for the radio program "Thistle and Shamrock" an... | |
| Zu Druids upgraded Vs Essence I've been told by a real Zu-ey that the Essence is unlike any other Zu model. Maybe it was put out to make a statement. This particular Zu-ey finds the ribbon to be most problematic. Not sure. I've heard a system similiar to what Bone heard and I ... | |
| Harbeth - Compact 7 ES-2 used OR P3-ESR new ? Seriously, trust your instincts, I think you did fine.If you like the harbeth sound, you're gonna love em!One thing Alan is right about, even on iffy stands they sound great, of course, that being said, the better the stand the better the sound. A... |
