| A great Thrift Store find... I bought a pair of Quadraflex demos from Pacific Stereo in Milwaukee in 1979. They had a dome tweeter. They sounded better than anything I'd ever owned. That dome made me visit Flanner & Hafsoos (THE Hi End dealer in Milwaukee, then), many tim... | |
| Montana Speakers? Have they fizzled out? I have the SPIIs. I think there are a lot of Montana owners out there who just watch the other "flavor of the month" speakers come & go. | |
| It's 2050. I'm 84 years old... Johnny Cash. "The Man Comes Around", is excellent.Mark Knopfler, too. | |
| Digital Amps - Your opinions and why so few? I have an Acoustic Reality digital amp. These amps have a conventional toriod for the power supply & ICE modules for the digital section. This amp sounds very good to me, so did the Spectron I borrowed from a friend.I do have a Debussy CD that... | |
| Theta Gen Va Mods You should just give the serial # to Theta, and find out exactly where the piece is at. Is it balanced? Does it have the 24/96 upgrade?Theta is very adamant about using their dealers. They'll probably tell you to use your closest one. | |
| Sony XA7ES to replace Ahh Tjoeb I've got an XA7ES. It's been in my bedroom system & is always on, (unless I leave town), since I traded a Jeff Rowland Consonance for it approx 4 or 5 years ago.Dependable, beefy, and it has the variable out (single ended). I'm using the balan... | |
| Snell Sub 550?? Any experience? I owned 2 of the Snell Sub 550 THX. They had the 12" Peerless driver. They worked better than anything else I tried to mate with my Magnepan 3.3Rs. I never tried them in video. The sealed box is definitely musical & fast. I used a Sumo Delilah... | |
| What is The Best DVD player for VIDEO? What's your monitor? Does it have the "DVI" input? My 61" Samsung DLP has the DVI input. I'm waiting for the next generation of their current player with DVI output. I've seen the first generation, it has problems with face tones & motion arti... | |
| Favorite SS Amp? Steve,Celestial has a Gamut D200 on distributor loan. One of the shipping labels says "Jonathan Valin". It is definitely a well worn demo. I'm going to go hear it today or Monday.. | |
| Bryston BP-25 or Adcom GFP-750 Preamp? I owned a GFP-750 for about 2 years. I haven't heard the Bryston. I did move up to the Pass Aleph P. The Adcom won't accept big-barrel RCA cables like Transparent or IXOS.That's why I sold it. If you can spend $1500.00, I'd suggest the Aleph P. Th... | |
| Audio's Most Enduring Products. Adcom GFA555 (original or series II), Aragon 4004MKII, Sony XA7ES, any Pass Aleph piece. | |
| Levinson 383 vs. Rowland Concentra Yup, that's the one. Last time I saw it, it looked at least 9/10. I bid $3100.00 and got sniped. I just figured at $3100.00 I could use it for a year or two & break even.. | |
| Levinson 383 vs. Rowland Concentra My friends ConcentraII sold for $3150.00 on e:Bay last week. It was mint. I'd strongly consider buying one of these, until the Concerto pops up on the used market...P.S. he sold it because he bought a new Theta Gen VIII -preamp built in. | |
| Are Martin Logans considered polite? Calanctus,I totally agree with your take on auditioning Martin Logans. If you want to hear them here in Phoenix, you go to Showcase (owned by the Tweeter group). You'll hear them with Krell multichannel & they are bright & forward in this ... | |
| Are Martin Logans considered polite? All electrostatics sound like a Magnepan (ribbon model) or Apogee with sheet draped over them, in my opinion.Yeah, I guess "polite" or "rolled off" would be a diplomatic assessment......Maybe they should just be in the speaker category:"How life w... |
