| Joseph Audio Pulsar? This is a truly interesting set of reactions. I've had the Pulsars in for trial now for several days and am thoroughly impressed. They are certainly not constricted, compressed, or veiled, as Grege describes. Yesterday, an audio buddy brought over... | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar? I have considered the Dynaudios. They were on my short list to audition. However, a Joseph Audio dealer saw this post and has offered his demos on a trial basis. I've taken him up on it. Thanks for the reply.Mike | |
| Room Correction/Crossover Thanks again for the replies. I've found (and ordered) what I hope is the best answer - the Lyngdorf RP-1. It will slot in between my amp's pre out and power in jacks, and provide both crossover and room correction functions. | |
| Room Correction/Crossover TacT - I had forgotten all about them. Thanks for the jar to the memory.The audiophile purist in me says 'stay the hell away from adc/dac for my vinyl'. However, I work with digital filters all day, every day (I'm a geophysicist), and I know good ... | |
| Benefits of a cardioid subwoofer? I recently purchased one of these for my HT:http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?homesubw&1308355063&/Underwood-Hifi-Special-EditionThese are set up for bipolar output, with the supposed benefit being "to cancel cabinet vibration." Well,... | |
| Problem-Ayon Triton, paired with Vandersteen I am not familiar with the Triton, but nearly all quality integrated amps have a preamp out. I connect up my Audiokinesis Planetarium Betas, which have separate mains and subwoofer arrays, from the integrated amp (VAC Phi Beta) with the normal spe... | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? I've owned the Phi Beta 110i for just under a year now. I would make a number of observations:1) Yes, it was expensive2) It's probably the most beautiful piece of audio gear I've ever seen3) It sounds even better than it looksWe all have differing... | |
| Does this device exist? Consider the Music Vault Diamond. It is exactly as you describe, plus automatically backs up on a seperate drive. Uses an iPad as interface, so you are also provided with something that has a use outside of the audio room. | |
| what type of subwoofer is good for ribbons > all the placement recommendations mentioned in the multisub paper on the Harman web site were very symmetrical not asymmetrical. Whether 2 subs or 4 subs, they are always in the same position on opposing walls.The idea behind asymmetrical pla... | |
| what type of subwoofer is good for ribbons Duke (Audiokinesis) is too honorable to blow his own horn. However, nothing prevents me from doing it for him. His SWARM system is outstanding, if:1) it's in your price range2) you have the space to place 4 small-footprint subs3) you can deal with... | |
| StereoTimes Interview with Duke LeJeune/Audiokines The toe-in that Duke recommends works extremely well to provide both the sense of an extremely wide soundstage and a smoothness to the highs that I've rarely encountered in any dynamic driver. Duke has stated many times that his inspiration for hi... | |
| StereoTimes Interview with Duke LeJeune/Audiokines Can't think of anyone in the business who deserves more recognition than Duke. Very nice interview. | |
| Best high-efficiency speaker under 10K Assuming that 96 dB meets your definition of 'high efficiency', I would strongly suggest that you look into Duke LeJeune's Audiokinesis speakers. I own his Planetarium Betas, and have found them to be quite extraordinary. The Swarm system DOES tak... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Mahughes,I strongly suggest that you not bother to try to entice Bill Feil into a rational argument. He's completely incapable of it. Why? Because he views his opinions as fact (regardless of disclaimer), and anyone who disagrees is automatically ... | |
| Recommended Speaker for Triode Amp I would look into Duke's (Audiokinesis) Jazz Modules unless you really want headbanging volumes. I own his Planetarium Betas, and love them. You could also get in touch with Audiogon member Clio09, who owns the Jazz Modules themselves.http://www.a... |
