| Best monoblocks around 3-4k used for revel studios I used Sonic Frontiers Power 3s to run my Revel Salons for over a year. They are well suited to driving this speaker. I also had the opportunity to hear my friend's Rowland Model 6 monoblocks with my Salons when he brought them to my house one wee... | |
| Tell me about your Jena Labs Symphonys I am using the Jena Labs Symphony cables throughout my system (both interconnects and speaker cables). I was previously using Kimber Select 1030 interconnects on all my front end components, a long run of Transparent Ultra XL between my preamp and... | |
| Power Conditioner for Amps. The PS Audio high current Ultimate Outlets are also supposed to offer a good solution for filtering some of the noise on an AC line. The Ultimate Outlets offer 40dB of bidirectional noise suppression, and they are said to not be current limiting. | |
| Tube amp to drive MBL 101's If you are interested in talking with comeone who has heard the MBLs paired with the CAT amps, call Ken Stevens. Based on my conversation with him earlier this week, I gather that he has heard this combination extensively. I would caution you agai... | |
| Tube amp to drive MBL 101's I spoke with Ken Stevens yesterday, and he mentioned that the CAT amps pair very well with the MBLs. I own the CAT JL-1 Limited Edition monoblocks, and I can tell you that they are exceptionally powerful. While I have not heard the JL-3 monoblocks... | |
| Least Controversial, Reasonably Priced AC Upgrades I am late to this thread, but I could sure use some advice from some of the experts here who know infinitely more about electric than I do. I am in the final stages of planning an electrical upgrade and new built-in component rack for my listening... | |
| New to Opera, have some questions I just noticed that Archiv Music indicates the length of the von Karajan/Pavrotti La Boheme recording is 110 minutes, so it would appear I underestimated the length of the recording. My estimate was based on the fact that the LP version of this re... | |
| New to Opera, have some questions In addition to the Callas recording of Puccini's Tosca that was mentioned by Rja, I would suggest Puccini's La Boheme. I have been listening to von Karajan's 1972 Decca recording, which features Pavrotti in his prime. I own this recording on vinyl... | |
| VPI TNT record clamp I own the TNT 3.5 that was originally equipped with the VPI solid delrin clamp. A couple of years ago, I bought the heavier VPI stainless steel and delrin clamp. In my system, the new VPI clamp brought about noticeably tighter and more solid sound... | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? I live in the Cincinnati area (Northern Kentucky, to be exact). I would be interested in hearing about any local club or other audiophile activities. I have heard that there is a new high end audio store (Red Brick Audio) in the Mt. Adams area, al... | |
| Lamm L2 and EMM Labs DCC2 Oanhu,I have been running my analog front end (VPI TNT/JMW-10 tonearm/van den Hul Frog/Lamm LP2 (recently replaced by Manley Steelhead)) through the analog inputs on the DCC2. In my original post, I was commenting on the sound of my analog rig thr... | |
| Lamm L2 and EMM Labs DCC2 I owned the Lamm L2 for about a year, and I have owned the DCC2 for about 1-1/2 months. I was surprised to find that the DCC2 is extremely competitive with the Lamm. I really did not expect to find a reference quality preamp inside the DCC2, but I... | |
| Revel Salons - Do they really sound like this? Here are Atkinson's measurements of the Salons:http://www.stereophile.com/loudspeakerreviews/96/index9.htmlNearly flat from 20Hz to 20KHz. | |
| Revel Salons - Do they really sound like this? 9rw,That you seem to prefer the sound of the Dunlavy SC-IV/A speakers to the sound of the Revel Salons is a matter of personal opinion based on your experiences with whatever electronics you happened to hear paired with these speakers. I lived wit... | |
| Revel Salons - Do they really sound like this? Cmpromo -I am the friend to whom "Raquel" referred in his/her post (he's confused). I sold my Dunlavy SC-Vs about 15 months ago and bought a pair of Salons that I am currently running with CAT JL-1 Limited Edition monoblocks. I have been very plea... |
