| Best Fully Automatic TT This is a no brainer for me. All you need is a JVC QLY5F quartz digital drive. They're commonly found. I've got several of these, in addition to having a traditional high end setup. Why several, because they're engineering marvels to those of us w... | |
| AV Receiver good enough for high end audio? Hifihvn,If we're going to paraphrase in a forum as common courtesy the least we can do is to quote another correctly.I've emphasized that A) I used the Ultimate in the context of a home theater setting B) that I found its performance good enough t... | |
| AV Receiver good enough for high end audio? "Now, it is not a 200 Dollar reciever as it was the topend av reciever for Marantz when it came out around 2000-1."As was the $5k retail Sunfire Ultimate Receiver when it was released, but that's meaningless to the naysayer's on this board who've ... | |
| AV Receiver good enough for high end audio? Hifihvn,You don't get it. The reference I made was not about your reference to politics, but instead to the same type of flawed intelligence that's created two needless wars. They're equal in that they're both mired in flawed intelligencia. Fact. ... | |
| AV Receiver good enough for high end audio? Oh that's a good one Hifi...Beware, your slip is showing...that's an awfully huge assumption. The man is retired, he or I could give a hoot what you or anyone thought of the gear he previously produced. If you must know I met him as a result of ha... | |
| AV Receiver good enough for high end audio? Never provided a model number? What planet R U on? It's not as if I wrote it in Paruski! Vwee gavarite PaEngliski? Do you read English?But I have to give it to you Hifi, that's an ingenious cover to suggest you didn't understand my constant referr... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Most of these noted are well above my pay grade, therefore out of my sampling reach. I did happen to own a BAT VK300x, which impressed me for a bit. But even it couldn't hold a candle to the type of listening I'm doing now, with a low watt SET int... | |
| AV Receiver good enough for high end audio? Let's put this to rest. Anyone truly interested in how the Ultimate performs merely has to enter the "Ultimate Receiver" into the forum search engine, to read one accolade upon another from those that have owned them. I've nothing to gain from pro... | |
| AV Receiver good enough for high end audio? Hifihvn, would you consider a receiver clipping out at 276 wpc "choking out?" I don't. The Pioneer's, Denon's, and whatever else you cited earlier all "choke out" far before that, nor would I think they'd be anywhere as musical a receiver as the S... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame Sebrof - Any designer that can produce a product that produces 'the goods' as the two products I've mentioned definitely gets my vote - for the bottom line is what does it sound like? The two products I've cited deserve mentioning if for nothing o... | |
| AV Receiver good enough for high end audio? Actually it was ML's. I'm stating the facts as I know them from personal experience, rather than making assumptions based upon a closed mind, or in the very least someone else's experience. Those are the facts as I know them. | |
| AV Receiver good enough for high end audio? It hardly chokes, for your ears would give out long before the amplifiers. The Ultimate drove 7 electrostats, which was no easy task, with ease. Even your reviewer measurement emphasized how superior it was into 2 channels. These amps really do pr... | |
| Music to die to Deodato's 'Pavane for a dead princess', or Jim Hall's 'Concierto de Aranjuez' which some have dubbed as quite possibly the finest piece of music ever written.I wonder if anyone here has ever listened to either one of these pieces? | |
| Most sophisticated and intelligent musician Keith Jarrett, without a doubt, he's the most intelligent musician that ever lived. Who else on the list can play classical equally as well as jazz? The man's a genius, but he's often moody...but then again reportedly so was Beethoven! | |
| Class D vs Class A Education "And we are all originally from African continent; you know that,right?"You go Inna, but be careful for you might want to whisper that whilst traveling through certain parts of the country! |
