| 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! | |
| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... I'm using a Grant Fidelity 3400 300B integrated with Shuguang Black Treasure 300B's in a secondary system driving a pair of Cain & Cain Abby's. Why is this not my primary system? Well, I'd need more gusto to drive CLS iiz's, but make no mistak... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE A recently acquired pair of CLS iiz's, in satin black, one of the final pairs ever produced by ML in '01 when ML was still the ML we all knew. I've come full circle since its been 10 years since owning my last pair. And having now experimented wit... | |
| Best way to categorize your Vinyl collection Collecting dust at the moment, since recently having sold off two TT's and cartridges while on the lurk for the next TT....but I've new toyz to keep me busy in the meantime...speakers and a new jazz guitar...what a way to wait! | |
| Best 300B Well here's yet another 'nother vote for the Shuguang Black Treasure 300B's.These black powder marvels transformed a modest Grant Fidelity 3400 SET integ into a giant killer. The thing produces all of 8 watts Class A yet it drove a pair of Martin ... |
