| Classical speakers that do violins well?? My SF Guarneri Hommages reproduce violin and in fact all stringed instruments about as well as any speaker i have heard. | |
| Why are choke power supplies still not common? Ga5556, How do you feel the choke power supply compares with electrolytic caps? I know that chokes are more expensive, but are they also more immune to power line fluctuations?Electroid, I guess I was more curious about the supply in an amp vs. ot... | |
| Enlightened Audio designs Agree that it's good to see an EAD thread. I love my 7000 Mk 3 DAC and with my Philips CD80 as a transport and a Harmonic Tech Platinum Co-ax connect, this is a formidable combo. I've A/B'ed it against stuff from Musical Fidelity and the latest Pi... | |
| Best Small Speaker System You've ever Heard IMHO, my SF Guarneri Hommage's are the best small speaker I have ever heard. Most of my 'phile' friends have agreed that in my system, the speakers dissapear and the musician's are basically in the room. I have not heard the Sason's, but they appe... | |
| How do you download your LP's to your computer? Today, I saw a BIG ad in our local paper for the TT with an iPod dock and USB connection to the PC from Hammacher Schlemmer.http://www.hammacher.com/publish/74920.asp?promo=el_audioDoes anyone have any thoughts on this TT... it's priced at $259 in... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? Sirspeedy, count yourself lucky that they are not $200K or more, there is no reason that I can see that they couldn't be priced at that. | |
| How do you download your LP's to your computer? Bongofury, the TT you suggest looks interesting.Sugarbrie, I actually want to be able to download to the hardrive so that I can make copies either to my iPod or possibly to CD.I am surprised that you say that my phono pre-amp can connect to the so... | |
| Tube Preamps...I'm sold On the subject of tube rolling, I recently changed out my stock tubes in my CAT signature with NOS GE Smooth plates and Russian Rocket tubes in the line section...BIG improvement. The pre-amp was no slouch before, but took on a new life with the s... | |
| The best mini monitors you have heard? IMHO, my Sonus Faber Guarneri Hommage's are the best small (I wouldn't call them mini) monitors I have heard.Absolutely beautiful to look at and they dissapear leaving just the perfomers in my room. | |
| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? My Jeff Rowland model 8 with choke power supply still makes me smile after all these years. I recently did a AB with a 501 and IMHO my 8 was just in a different league. Far more resolving and with a much better control of the bass. The 8 also thre... | |
| A question I suspect reveals a lot of ignorance... My experience with tube amps is that they tend to sound better after some warm up...same with ss amps. One of the things that I always wandered about when I was using tube amps was where in the life of the tube ( power tube) was I listening. I had... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? If price is not a major factor, you might want to try the new CAT legend. I have not heard it, but knowing Ken Stevens work, which I highly respect, I would be amazed if it wasn't a world beater. | |
| Solid state pre + power for Sonus Faber Guarneris? I am using an original choke supply Jeff Rowland Model 8 and a CAT preamp with my G's. The combo is a great match IMHO.The G's need plent of stick upline. | |
| Sonus Faber or Aurum Cantus As an owner of SF Guarneri's, IMHO they are one of the very best speakers I have heard. Replaced my well respectedHales System 2 Signatures( which were no slouch in the mids). The SF's are in a different league to the Hales, being much more resolv... | |
| Sonus Faber Auditor with 20 tube watts? I own a pair of the Guarneri's and I have a very small dedicated room... 10'X11' with a 15' vault ceiling.I drive the G's with a Rowland model 8 which is a ss amp and puts out 250 watts per ch. The G's are quite power hungry and even in this small... |
