| Graham 1.5T/C & 2.0T/C Tonearm - bias weight calibration notches corresponding values? From memory...each indent represents 0.50 grams. | |
| Best Rock Albums of 2012 The new Django Django album is excellent, as are the new Wedding Present, Soundgarden and Dinosaur Jr albums, in addition to others mentioned here (and others that I'm not thinking of right now).So, not exactly a bumper crop, but like any year, th... | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No I listen mostly to rock, and haven't found any solid state amp that makes me as happy as a good tube amp. Bass isn't all there is to rock - rock benefits just plenty from tonal accuracy, and to my ears a good tube amp excels at accurate tonality.O... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona M vs Verity Audio Parsifal I would agree with the general tone of this thread - the local dealer where I bought my second-hand Parsifal Encore's also carries SF, and I listened to the Cremona M's. While they are a very nice pair of speakers, they aren't quite in the class o... | |
| devore super 8 vs 88 I haven't compared them head-to-head, but have heard both speakers, in addition to Nines, 3XL's and Orangutans on different occasions...IMHO, if you like the 88's, I can't imagine that you wouldn't enjoy Super 8's. If you're looking for the closes... | |
| Solid State Amplification for Devore Nines? I demoed the Nines with the Ayre AX7e and thought it sounded great together. | |
| Qns on Ayre AX-7e Int Amp All evolution models have the word "evolution" written in gold lettering under the Ayre logo on the front panel. That is the foolproof way of knowing which model you have.If you are still uncertain, the first letter of the serial number indicates ... | |
| Ayre V-5Xe or Bryston 4B-ST I have had both Bryston and Ayre amps in my system, albeit with a different pair of speakers (Totem's) and not back-to-back. But both in the same room with the same speakers. I've also heard both amps in other less familiar systems, including Ayre... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? I generally don't like ballads.At the moment...it would be the Smiths' "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out". | |
| MoFi Release Meets Expectations FINALLY The MoFi Doolittle is fantastic. | |
| Ayre CX-7MP2 vs Rega Saturn.CD Pros and Cons?? I haven't heard the specific players mentioned, but the 2 companies have a fairly different sound in their CD players that I have heard. Ayre gear is generally focused on a highly resolving, airy but solid sound. The Rega CDP's I've heard have a f... | |
| NYC expo waldorf astoria april 13-15 2012 Interesting...those manufacturers on that list were almost all at Salon Son & Image the last few years, and aren't on the list for the Salon this year...guess it was just a matter of time before New York put on a show and killed the Salon... | |
| LEBEN CS600 OR CS300X I've heard those Nines many, many times, with lots of different equipment - all Shindo, Leben, Shindo-VTL (which I've also hear with some Wilson speakers and, of course, my own), and probably others that I don't recall. They're kind of my "go-to" ... | |
| LEBEN CS600 OR CS300X Fjn...for sure there's no harm in questioning an opinion, that's what this board is all about. My opinion is really only valid for my experience, and am sure that others have different opinions when hearing the same things.I've heard Devore speake... | |
| LEBEN CS600 OR CS300X I agree with Bongofury that Leben has a sweeter midrange than Shindo, whereas Shindo lets you hear deeper into the music. I see Leben as more of the "classic" tube sound and Shindo as a master of detail - both are excellent at what they do IMHO.Tw... |
