mikirob:Thanks so much; your response is why these threads work. Am thinking of giving a tube amp a try and have been looking at the primaluna dialogue premium -- because it has substantially better specs than other units. Could not find out from ...

mikirob:Am confused about how a very small wattage can accurately portray a dense orchestral texture -- especially since the damping factors are much lower than with SS.Could you try out Hindemith: Symphonic Metamorphoses on your set (CD 49) and t...

Vitop:No, they are a family of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.AND, they have that many names because they are more important than you or me (LOL).

lpetiring:No, because the 901s were always on elevated stands, they avoided the dreaded canine addition.On the other hand, have a pair of Maggies that were liberally anointed and they come with a can of Resolve liquid and a hand brush. After multi...

Jeffey:Did you use any mounting feet/dampers on the ULFs? Considering their weight wonder if this is helpful and, if so, what types of devices are appropriate.Sorry to see that the DIs are going down in comparable quality.

Corelli:Agree but still would like to know the make/model of the new domes.BTW, is your first name Arcangelo?

mac48025:That's exactly why I asked. Was under the impression that ring tweeters were much lower in mass than dome ones and, therefore, how this change might alter his balance ideal.Congrats on your SNs; mine are much later, 229 & 230, but sti...

mac48025:Have you heard what make/model of dome tweeter Eric is now using in place of the original SB Acoustics ring ones? Wonder what affect this will have on his patent concept of low mass drivers.

Corelli: You are right about Copland and the holiday. Share your enthusiasm for Telarc releases and enjoyed your description of the Rodeo orchestra -- very good.Like the bass instruments and low drums in the Teldec release Shostakovich: Symphony #...
