| Is Benz Micro no longer in business? I spoke to my dealer today and he told me that for all intents and purposes, Benz is no more. Albert Lukasheck apparently has " lost interest" in the line and has decided to shelve the production. Seems a little crazy as there was continued intere... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions The Linn LP12 has gone through many variations. The latest is the LP12 SE version with the Keel sub chassis, the Radikal Dynamik power supply and the Ekos SE tonearm with the Kandid cartridge. Whether the TT competes with the current crop of SOTA ... | |
| Review: Sonus Faber Guarnieri Homage Speaker I think the Quads are a great speaker. What the GH's bring to the playing field is an ability to reproduce dynamics that seems to slightly escape the Quads. The purity of the silk dome is a revelation, IMO. The Quads don't quite give one that comp... | |
| Best Speakers for 10' x 12' room? Br3098 gives good advice. Treat the room first. After that, I think you must expect to sit in the nearfield and design around that. I happen to like my SF GH's in a room of similar size, although I do augment them with a REL T5 sub. | |
| Any opinion on Tyr 1 Vs Tyr Mk11 interconnects I have heard both and own the Tyr 1's. IMO, the Tyr 1's WBT's are superior sounding to the Moonglo's. IF you want a step up from the Tyr 1's, i think the current Valhalla 2's are the way to go...at a price:0) | |
| Do we still need 6550 or KT88 tubes? Many of the older 6550 based amps cannot accept the newer KT120's. Presumably, the new KT150s would also be incompatible as well. So, to keep these amps alive, i think we will need to keep at least the 6550's going. | |
| Russian made amps? Krell303, I have a feeling that you are wrong about that, LOL. | |
| Russian made amps? Swampwalker, you are correct. I am quite familiar with the emigre's that have already been mentioned. My question is who is currently making equipment in Russia? I would suspect that there is some GREAT gear there that we have never heard of. | |
| Gruv Glide - Do you use it? I don't use it on newer LP's or on Mint condition LP's, BUT I think it is a marvel on the VG++ and worse condition LP's that most of us have in our collection.Does knock back a lot of hash and background noise. Good Stuff, IMHO. | |
| Anyone try Supra LoRad 2.5 PCs? Mik971, I would suggest the Wattgate plugs. Check their website and go with the best that you can afford. | |
| Vivid speakers Giya G3 and Oval K1 I've heard both. The Giya's are a little more complete in the bottom end. Also seemed to have slightly better image definition on the stage ( very slightly).Both are excellent speakers, IMHO. As to the looks, well the Giya's are either your cup of... | |
| Anyone try Supra LoRad 2.5 PCs? Agisthos, IF you are using the Supra connector's you haven't heard this cable, IMHO. The standard connector's are garbage compared to the Wattgate's or Furutech's. Try the Supra with Wattgate's and then get back to us. | |
| Best Cables for Sonus Faber Futuras IMHO, Nordost works very well with SF speakers. | |
| VPI Classic 4, any one have it? I'm interested in this TT too. Please do post once you have had a chance to listen to yours. BTW, did you hear the Classic 3 or 1/2? Why did you go for the 4 vs. these others? | |
| Opinions - Best Sound at T.H.E. Newport 2013 Show? My favorite this year was the Wilson room with the Alexia's and the ARC Ref 250's/Ref10 preamp along with an AMG TT. Great sound .Close second was Greg Baron's room with the UHA tape deck and Gauder Akusitk speakers. The UHA RtoR is something else... |
