| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Lordy Allsmiles, you've got the Klipsch bug bad!22 speakers and you've never really tried any different electronics? The world is about to split open for you.You haven't indicated your price range for components, so it is hard to make suggestions.... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Next up! Trying some different electronics from your Carver gear. I owned an all Carver system(M1.5T, C-3 preamp(?),TX-10 or 11 tuner, cassete, etc.) in college during the 80's w/ Klipsch Forte's. System kicked ass for late-night ear blistering he... | |
| Bad experience with ZYX AIRY 3 Cello,Unfortunately, I never got around to adding the extra mass to the headshell before I sold off the Fuji FS. Work kicked into extra high gear leaving no time at all for audio the last 6+ months. And my current tonearm, although superb sounding... | |
| Lenco 75 versus Garrard 301? Thanks Jlin,The revised thread is good enough. I had read the original up to somewhere around May this year, but did not remember Albert's posts.I need to free up some cash for a new(er) car and was thinking now's the time to take on the Lenco pro... | |
| Lenco 75 versus Garrard 301? Could someone please point me to Albert's latest comments about his Lenco versus Walker tables?I'd like to read those posts.Thanks. | |
| Recommend Speakers For Yamamoto Congrats Ghanson,The Yam is a superb amp. As sson as everything is fully broken in, I bet you will begin to hear subtle nuances in recordings that you'd never known existed. There really is no equivelent to well executed SET and single-drivers, it... | |
| Recommend Speakers For Yamamoto Ghanson,I totally agree with your sentiment that we have to sometimes take chances on component purchases. But, hopefully those "chances" are made an exducated or experienced reference.In Rocky's case, he has never heard a SET amp or high effficie... | |
| Recommend Speakers For Yamamoto Rocky,There are plenty of high efficiency owners in the Bay Area. I suggest you post a request to listen to someone's system in Audio Asylum's High Efficiency forum or SET forum. Just explain post that you are interested in making the jump to SET/... | |
| Recommend Speakers For Yamamoto Rocky,I think we've all missed an important question - have you ever listened to a true high-efficiency system(>97dB)? And have you ever heard the Yamamoto or any other sub-2 watt amplifer?If not, please be sure to find some system owners in yo... | |
| Recommend Speakers For Yamamoto Seriously, you're kidding right?The A-08S puts out only 2 watts at full-on maximum output. At that point, the amp is pumping a lot of distortion. In the real world, you're probably looking at 1-1.5 watts allowing for headroom.My speakers are 97dB ... | |
| HELP Horns, Stats or Conventional Speakers Punkuk,Be careful what you wish for....Most good high-efficiency setups(re: horns) can be ruthlessly revealing of other components and poorly recorded material - as most punk & rock is/was. They can be so revealing that much material will seem... | |
| CDP to replace vinyl Look into CEC belt-driven cdp's, they are known for a "vinyl like" reproduction. | |
| What Integrated Amp for Reynaud Offrandes When Bob Neil did his Reynaud review series for Positive fedback a few years ago, he had great success with both Audiomat & Blue Circle tubed components.From his Offrande review:"They strike me as being a very friendly load, which should respo... | |
| LA Show Report But I think something else is going on, which is that rooms with the most exotic or impressive systems have a good shot at getting press, regardless of the sound. Funny, after hearing so much about the Lamm room, I finally decided to go see what i... | |
| LA Show Report **"06-07-06: DrubinYes, I think manufacturers (and retailers) miss an opportunity at these consumer-oriented shows by playing mostly their top-end gear."**Interesting point, but I wonder if exhibitors/manufacturers have come to "state of the art" ... |
