| $40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list At $40k, I would definitely add ESP Concert Grand SI's to your list. Elliot Midwood of Acoustic Image has been using these at a few audio shows (review from HE 2006)and I can't say i have ever heard anything quite like them. Simply incredible. He ... | |
| Teres, redpoint or galibier turntable Audiofeil, you mean the COINCIDENT M300B FRANKENSTEIN MK II - THE FINEST AMPLIFIER TO EVER GRACE THIS PLANET!!!!!Yeah, I have to agree that Salvatore is just as prone to becoming obsessed with a single line of equipment as most audio writers. He's... | |
| Cary 300SEI vs Art Audio PX-25 I've had the 300SEI and currently own the PX-25 in my system(Cain&Cain IM-Bens) and the two are totally different approaches to SET, sonically. As pointed out, the Cary is ultra-lush, warm, rich sounding. Whether too much so or not is a matter... | |
| Anything under 3 years is just flirting.... Cain & Cain IM-Bens w/ dual Bail subwoofers - exactly 2 years.You're right, we're still barely getting to know each other.Actually, I think it takes a while to finally dial in the supporting characters of a system around speakers. Change of ca... | |
| CAT SL-1 vs. FS Presence Deluxe & SET/hi-eff spk In my system which admittedly is not high gain, high efficiency, there is hiss with the CAT. It is not so loud as to be annoying and you cannot hear it at the listening position if music is playing, but in comparison to the F.S., I believe that th... | |
| TRL battery phono stage I think Lithojoe is referring to Tube Research labs(TRL). Man, they make some expensive tube gear - $25k preamp, $20k/$85k, $140k monoblock amps.They seem to have built a pretty good name for themselves modifying/upgrading cd players and dacs, too... | |
| CAT SL-1 vs. FS Presence Deluxe & SET/hi-eff spk Thanks Kitch,That is reassuring to hear. I had a hunch that the reviewer's experience might be an anomaly, possibly a noisy tube or two. There's no way the SL-1 could have sustained it's long term status with such an apparent drawback. Especially ... | |
| Need list of 92db speakers and above. Yowsa, Dean - you are really jumping into this SET/single thing with both feet! To try a totally different single-driver experience from the Abbys, I'd suggest the Hammer Dynamics Super-12 kit. It features a customized 12" fullrange singe driver w... | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option More importantly, Teres tables aren't the only ones to potentially benefit from this rim-drive motor.Hell, I'm tempted to DIY a wheel adapter for my Scheu outboard motor pod and gives this a try. Won't have the micro-controller for speed, but shou... | |
| Anyone tried Cartridge Man's Conductor linear arm? I sent an email to Len Gregory "The Cartridge Man" about which cart weights/compliance ranges make the best synergy with his Conductor. His reply was: we make differing counterweights to cope with cartridges weighing anything from 5 grammes to 20 ... | |
| Anyone tried Cartridge Man's Conductor linear arm? I'd like to ammend my late-night post to remove the cynicism about the Isolator being needed for some flaw in the Conductor. It's been pointed out to me that is definitely not the case.Anyway, anybody out there with real world experience with this... | |
| Review: ZYX Atmos X-SB (low output) Cartridge This is good news to hear. I had the (much less expensive) R-100 Fuji FS Silver and ended up selling it because it was too restrained or polite for my (musical) tastes. I listen mostly to jazz nowadays, but still toss in a healthy dose of rock, ha... | |
| MUSEATEX CDD Thanks Sheldon,It's great to hear that he is now doing the reclocking upgrade again. When I last emailed him a year or so ago, that wasn't an option anymore because he couldn't get the parts for the "C-Clock" upgrade. Mine is the older version wit... | |
| MUSEATEX CDD Hey, what mods was John going to perform? Might have him hotrod my CD-D, if possible. | |
| MUSEATEX CDD I have an older CD-D along with a fully upgraded Bitstream. Together, they are fantastic, but I bought mine used so have no idea whether there is a big change from break-in.What type of digital cable are you using? (I have the recommended Moray Ja... |
