| Nearfield Acoustics Pipedreams 04-07-11: RkochiesI own a pair of 924...I think they are the cleanest, most dynamic, and best soundstaging I have owned. That includes Apogee, Acoustat, Thiel, Vandersteen, and Genesis. That's really interesting Rkochies. I have been going back an... | |
| Best tube mono blocks under $15,000? In the "swing for the fence" category of tube amps, consider buying a used VTL Reference level Wotan MB-1250 Reference designed to "take control of the most demanding loudspeaker load and thunder out deep bass with the authority of a mighty ruler... | |
| Best tube mono blocks under $15,000? Shouldn't you at least list the speakers which will be driven? Big difference in criterion between, say, high efficiency compression horns and Apogee Scintillas. | |
| Nearfield Acoustics Pipedreams 03-29-11: RcprinceI too noticed all the different Pipedreams up for sale The thing that catches my attention is that all four are sold by two dealers at almost 1/10th original retail price. Although, none look to be current models. | |
| Nearfield Acoustics Pipedreams Notice an unusual amount(4) for sale right now. At most, one set comes up every 9 months to a year.Makes me wonder if dealers are closing out inventory. | |
| Museatex Bidat DAC & Transport Jon Wright recommended a Theta Pearl (older but they still repair them) or one of their newer transports as a good choice. this was a few years ago, but I'd just ask him for the best match. | |
| Museatex Bidat DAC & Transport Yes, get the power supply mod. John Wright is the man to do it all at Museatex.comJohn recommends the Moray James digital cable for all the Museatex gear. | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers 10-24-10: AzaudBest strawberry rhubarb pie EVER followed a Buffalo Burger to die for. And I thought I was the only one to open w/ desert and close with the main course! | |
| Best budget $300 Balanced IC Recommendation 10-03-10: RpgI know the price of the Huffman's are about $230, however I don't know the price of a Meter for the Mogami's. Mogami is ~$35/meter at just about any major pro musician/guitar shop, with a 30 day money back guarantee. | |
| Help me choose an active crossover I have narrowed down my selection to two models in the Marchand catalog - the XM44, and the XM126...I also wonder whether I should consider a crossover from Nelson Pass or Bryston instead of the Marchand. Your opinions? I think the better places ... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s vs. Soundsmith The Voice? [url=]09-29-10: EdainwestocIf you don't mind me asking...is the 103D stock or has it been retipped?[/url] If you were asking this question of me, and not Gopher, my 103D is new old stock with very, very, low hours on it - maybe 120 hrs. | |
| Best high-efficiency speaker under 10K Ggavetti,I think it would be important if you first stated what YOU consider "high efficiency" to be. Is it 92dB and up with a high stable impedance curve? Is it 95dB and up?Is it 100db and up? | |
| Dynavector XV-1s vs. Soundsmith The Voice? 09-27-10: GopherI've got a Zu 103 I'm using on the WTR these days and a Denon 103D sitting as a standby. What's your take on the sonic differences between the two. I have a 103D and have always wondered how the others sound. | |
| Best budget $300 Balanced IC Recommendation 09-27-10: RpgDarkmoebius, which Mogami XLR? Thay have Microphone cable and interconnect cable. The Mic cable is about $20 more for each cable than the their IC cable. Mogami Neglex Quad 2534 is listed as a microphone cable on the manufacturer's we... | |
| Best budget $300 Balanced IC Recommendation 09-26-10: RpgThanks to all who have responded. It looks like the Mogami IC's are worth a try. All these guitar/musician outlets sell pre-terminated Mogami XLR cables in 2, 3, 6, and longer lengths. Seems like the vary from $25-65 |
