| Esoteric DV-50s,X-03 Vs Musical Fidelity Trivista I've been usng the Audio Aero Capitole mk2 with SE upgrade for the past year or so. Recently I auditioned the Esoteric X-03 with my current system. I found the X-03 more textured with better octave to ovtave performance. As much as I liked the AA,... | |
| Best Amp + PreAmp for Esoteric X-03 Recently purchased the X-03 to mate with Joule LA-150 tubed pre, Bernig ZH-270 Amp, and Merlin VSM-MX speaks, Cardas ICS and Silent Source PCs. Heaven. | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) 1. Golf- big time!2. Photography. Almost as expensive`as audio. | |
| Best Line Stage Joule LA-150. Sweet and dynamic | |
| Best Upgrade? Consider power conditioning as your next upgrade. I've found the Sound Applications XE-12s a real bargain now that the Linestage model has come out. Also consider an Elrod EPS-2 Sig 20A PC. You won't be disappointed. Dead quiet. | |
| Best Power Conditioner Consider the Sound Application XE-12S. Twelve outlets, six digital, six analogue. Superb. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Eidolan Diamonds at Goodwin Sound in Waltham Mass. Blew me away. | |
| What amp should be used with merlin vsm's? Strongly recommend the Berning ZH-270, if you can find one. OTL amps bring out the best of the Merlins | |
| Best speaker for $1500???, Have Cary SLI-80 Merlin TSM-ME used would run you about $1500. Superb with tubes. Good luck! | |
| FedEx, and HELL VTL to the rescue Nice story but it still doesn't make me feel any better about the Vintage Kenwood 9100 amp that was lost/stolen by Fedex last week. Completely restored and insured for shipment at $500, Fedex only paid out $175 because that's what the Orion book s... | |
| Should I keep my JBL 150A's? I purchased a pair of the 150As when I was stationed overseas in the 80s. Unfortuantely I sold them in '93 when I moved into a smaller appartment. The sound they produced was remarkable for a speaker of that era. I often wish I still had them just... | |
| Review : Salk Signature Sound Veracity HT1 Jim built me a gorgeous pair of Dave Ellis's 1801 monitors in South American Rosewood. I found Jim very easy to contact throughout the process. He can be found at jsalk@salk.net | |
| Merlin Owner's... Another vote for black ice blue...Dana | |
| Quick Poll: For Berning / Merlin Owners Must say I was also undecided which setting sounded best to my ears. So I called David and asked him which feedback setting he'd recommend with the Merlin VSM-MX/ Joule LA100 combo.His suggestion was either:Low Feedback setting at 12 o'clock, orMe... | |
| Maximum length for Audience AU24 speaker cable After my initial post I called Audience and asked them if there were limitations using a long run of their AU-24 cable. They felt there was no degradation in signal over a 5 meter length. In fact at the recent CES they used a 24 foot length in one... |
