| The Electric Recording Co. ... thoughts on a 300 quid LP They press 300 numbered copies and about 25 promo/preview copies. The reason, I am led to believe (and I am not an expert), is that this is the maximum they can press from the Father ... as they do not make Mothers and subsequent stampers (what mo... | |
| Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale? Selfish, instantaneous, personal gratification is what America is all about IMO. Anyway, by buying "over-priced" Danish imports will mean some of my hard earned cash will, eventually, through Dantax A/S taxes (or other routes), get to the Danish g... | |
| Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale? I bought Raidho's 'cos they beat the pants off other speakers I auditioned in my price range. Yes, they cost $55k+, but I had the money. I wanted them ... so I bought them... the American Dream in action. I heard other speakers that cost more, but... | |
| Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale? Scansonic are indeed "the poor mans Raidho" ... the blurb I heard by the distro (at AXPONA) was that "Scansonic have a lot of the Raidho DNA" since Michael Borreson designed both - which seems to be a reasonable claim.Hearing that top-of-the-line ... | |
| Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale? I am a Raidho owner (D3s), and as such I have an interest in knowing what the "stats" are regarding volume and prices here on a'gon. It seems that the number of D-level speakers offered for sale was (and remains) pretty small (including dealers). ... | |
| Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale? I have been to Blink High End numerous times recently and as far as I know they don't have D4.1s. So how did you got to hear them? Tim said he was not going to get them either. Also, you say that you never heard the D5s ... how is this possible as... | |
| Anything you liked at the Newport Show? injection wrote:" ... boring 'audiophile default setting' "Totally agree. Good turn of phrase.I've been fishing to find a snappy phrase to mirror my sentiments on musical variety at shows, and this does it nicely. I'm a little fed-up of pro-forma... | |
| Need to lay a portion of my high-end speakers cable under the floor ... No AC or other possible issues, I think. I doubt if a plastic or wooden conduit would make any difference. Yup, 2.5m ... I guess you win some and lose some. Will post pics on the Systems when all the work is done. Glad others here have not had iss... | |
| Need to lay a portion of my high-end speakers cable under the floor ... No problems right now as not laid them yet ... only perceived problems by myself after reading various threads and reviews on cables and set-up. I guess I'll be OK, but had to ask the experts on the forum. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? The classic example of upside-down demand and supply logic (used in some basic economics classes) is that of Perfume: the higher the price the more demand. I cannot comment on cables per se, I really do not know enough, but the last comment by wha... | |
| Raidho speaker owners, what solid state amplifier do you use? IMHO: On balance, a really well-matched SS is my preference because (and this opinion is liable to be wrong) ... because the "gap" between tube and SS seems to be narrowing. The Aavik was as "musical" as most amps I have heard. Certainly "musical"... | |
| Raidho speaker owners, what solid state amplifier do you use? I'm in Boston. Waited for 2 hours in TSA line at airport, nearly turned back but glad I stuck it out. I hope more reviewers write about Aavik / D3 etc. This forum is one few places where this range of products is covered reasonably well. | |
| Raidho speaker owners, what solid state amplifier do you use? Thanks for the comment. It seems to be an interesting "leap" from tubes to Aavik. Would you say the Aavik is comparable to tubes (musicality) but with the response and timing of SS? Yes, the cabling in Raidho's Axpona room was impressive - I would... | |
| Raidho speaker owners, what solid state amplifier do you use? Thanks xti16. I'm new to the Raidho family[*] and interested to read any opinions on how to extract the most from these beauties. MainzD8 would be a good step. I heard the Aavik (at Axpona) and was very impressed indeed, especially when compared t... | |
| Raidho speaker owners, what solid state amplifier do you use? I have a Chord SPM600 (and Chord pre) with my D3s and it's a terrific match IMHO. The Chord drives the D3s with ease and clarity. However, I desperately need to upgrade the power and cabling, which is next on the "hit list". I hear good things abo... |
