| My final table , hopefully ! JONDthe SAM Reference is $2K US plus shipping! Its built like a tank. Weighs about 80 lbs and it sounds awesome..... | |
| My final table , hopefully ! I've had for little over a year a killer table that trounced my VPI Scoutmaster in very conceivable way and it's on the south side in price and then some compared to the Prime that would allow you to get a better cartridge. Take a look at the turn... | |
| System Reset I was disappointed by the fact the the local Wilson dealer only carries limited models of Wilson. Thery're more of a home theater company. However, I did decide to order a Audio Alchemy PPA-1 Phono pre w/external power supply (PA-5) for audition. ... | |
| System Reset By the way, I had Stanley's East River Drive Cd when I auditioned the Maxx's. With Stanley's performance fresh in my head, even my wife was surprised by the similarities. The guys in the shop hadn't heard Stanley on the Maxx'so and they came int... | |
| System Reset Yes. The Vandy's while intoxicating didn't move me like the big Wilsons. It's obvious I buy used and used Wilsons like early generation Maxx can be had for less than new Vandys I auditioned. But this is from my memory....I heard them many years a... | |
| Scansonic mb serie Just purchased of used pair of 2.5's are they are boomy as all get out! No matter where I paced them I couldn't get rid of this excess mid-bass thump. Out of frustration I cut a piece of Corning 703 Insulation that I use for room treatment and the... | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced Ghent Audio. Class D amplifiers that have a loyal following. I won't bore you with how much of a bargain they are cost wise, and their superior sonic performance compared to x, y, and Z. I'll just say that I use them with my Maggies to great succe... | |
| Red Book/SACD Advise Wanted Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Got a great deal on a Line Magnetic LM 515CD new with warranty. | |
| Red Book/SACD Advise Wanted Appreciate your suggestion. I'll look into it. | |
| Preamp Help Thanks everyone for your input. I ended up with an Aesthetix Calypso pre with NOS Mullard CV's and Amperex 6922. Just got it this week and starting to listen. Very open and detailed so far. | |
| Preamp Help I listened to the Maggie 3.7...the real reason for visiting the dealer in the first place, and they sounded dreadful....small, congested, absolutely wimpy...driven by AR 17SE and 75amp. Poor setup to be sure and no way I would choose this over the... | |
| Preamp Help Unfortunately, I don't believe I have a close enough relationship with this dealer to warrant a loaner unless I purchase and return. I used to live near a dealer who freely let me borrow what was in stock over the weekend or a couple of weeks for ... | |
| System Help Zephyr24069, How do I post the pics?Thanks | |
| System Help Swampwalker, I sit in equal triangle or a tad further.I move forward or backward and try to lock-in that magic distance. Volents don't need toe-in...very wide dispersion characteristics these ribbon tweeters have. Overall...some music sounds incre... | |
| System Help Sorry for having checked out from my post for a bit. Graduated from Seminary and finally getting some time. In regards to my DAC, its a Sonore DSD and quite wonderful. The room is 15 X 27. I'm ordering OC 703 for first reflection locations and cor... |
