| AudioKinesis Auditorium Beta - First Impressions Unfortunately the TAD (Pioneer) pro drivers used in the Jazz Modules and Dream Makers are getting difficult for Duke to purchase as it requires a large bulk order. However, it appears the new drivers are an excellent substitute.When I spoke to Vin... | |
| Any high end audio dealers in Aspen or close? If you do have time when in Denver try to make it one or more of these shops:SoundingsAudio UnlimitedGalibier DesignsWish I could recommend some people up in the mountains but other than Sanders Sound, which is a manufacturer, not a dealer, don't ... | |
| AudioKinesis Auditorium Beta - First Impressions Congratulations, I've been using Duke's speakers for about a year now (Stormbringers, now Jazz Modules) and would love to get enough space to try the new series with SWARM. I think these use the new TD-12M drivers from John Janowitz at Audio Elega... | |
| I could cry A little off topic but might give some insight as to what pet owners might tolerate.I was over at Dusty Vawter's home a couple years back auditioning his D-200 amps. Dusty has a very nice set-up that includes a set of Von Schweikert speakers. Well... | |
| I could cry Well at least you can still play the LPs.Not the cat's fault and you lucked out on the peeing scenario. | |
| Best cable for short monoblock runs? See here:http://www.decware.com/newsite/newdsr.htmSteve uses all silver. The Grover Huffman cables are a combination of copper and silver ribbons.For copper I prefer Ohno Continuos Cast, but have had good results from other types as well. Since I ... | |
| Best cable for short monoblock runs? Ribbon cables are a good solution. Two non-DIY brands that come to mind are Decware and Grover Huffman (which I'm using in a 2m run). They are both available in 1/2 meter runs, and longer if you decide to go that route. | |
| Maybe your turntable setup is actually okay . . . Couldn't have said it better on the B&O's. I lucked out on my Beogram 4500 as it was new in the box and this particular table has a built in RIAA equalizer. No need for a phono stage, just plug it into a line input. Peter at Soundsmith had pos... | |
| Maybe your turntable setup is actually okay . . . I don't miss the endless diddling now that I own a Beogram 4500. In fact spinning records hasn't been this much fun (or easy) since I bought my first turn table in 1978. | |
| Harbeths building system around Harbeths? Non-oversampling. | |
| Builiding system around NOS dac The TDA-1543 is a DAC chip that is sometimes used in NOS DAC designs. | |
| DIY solid core speaker cable: connectors? Most would use products from http://www.caig.com/. An alternative is to try Quicksilver Gold. | |
| Is Solid State Preamp and Tube Amp A Good Combo? I've tried it both ways and so far the Rowland Capri preamp and VAC Auricle Musicbloc amps have been the best combination. | |
| Passive Preamps? Anyone? George, you were indeed right. Also, I appreciate the fact you went out of your way to build me one with dual volume controls. I'm picking up these to compare to the Lightspeed as they are comparably priced and I always wanted to hear the Slagle's... |
