| Is good customer service about dead? The same names keep appearing, K&K, Daedalus and I agree with them. The clue for some, is size, small manufacturers are often much better and quicker in responding to individual requests. No, to me, the problem is'nt manufacturers, but retail.... | |
| Naim Dac or power supply? BLK25 I am not sure that is fair. I am not an out and out Naim lover, but as I understand their philosophy, it includes giving a clear upgrade path, to help purchasers. You start at a given level and can add to it incrementally without losing your... | |
| Best speaker design for low to mid volume? A factor too few speaker manufacturers take into account, in my opinion. Many of us live very close to neighbours, with thin walls and want to be "neighbourly". I agree that high sensitivity is often a prerequisite and can name a number of higher ... | |
| servers Mofimadness Each to their own, the system was a good one and 2 or 3 others in the room were also unimpressed with the sound. As you say, it would be much better to listen in my own system, but from what I heard, I did'nt think it worth my while. I... | |
| servers I wish I could agree with Mofimadness about the Olive. I recently had an extended audition at my local dealers in a good system, Krell electronics and Kef Blade speakers. like you, I am computer phobic and wanted the Olive to be the solution for m... | |
| New way of dealing with Low Ballers? As regards geographical limits, I live in the UK and if I see a restriction to North America, politely say that I note their sale restriction, but would they consider selling to the UK. I have always had a reply and usually an agreement to sell. T... | |
| In defense of quantum products. I don't see any resolution to this argument. As so often on Audiogon and other forums, it comes down to one opinion over another. You can legitimately argue as to the scientific validity of a companies claims and I certainly am not qualified to co... | |
| Lessloss DFPC Signature VS Sablon Gran Carona Rgwrjs If you have heard the Robusto's, did you hear a lot of difference between them and the Gran Corona. Mark lent me a Uber Robusto, the prototype of the Gran Corona and I have to say I did'nt hear an enormous difference. I am interested in oth... | |
| Lessloss DFPC Signature VS Sablon Gran Carona I use the Lessloss origonals and Sablon Robusto as my main power cords. They are more different than one better than the other. The Robusto's are on the rich side of neutral, I believe Mark partly produced the Grand Corona, to get nearer neutralit... | |
| In defense of quantum products. I first heard the Nordost QX4 at a show demo. During it, cables, supports etc were all changed in stages and made a difference. To me, the QX4 made the biggest difference of them all. They are insanely expensive new and just overpriced, second han... | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? Some excellent suggestions, Silverline, Sonus Faber, Harbeth. When I have listened to them, theyseem on the warm, forgiving side. This is set against, Focal and B and w. Excellent speakers, but I find they have an edge to them, which seems to make... | |
| Benz or Kansui w/ Raven One table/TW 10.5 arm I use a BENZ LP on my Raven one and Ortofon 309D. I tried a Koetsu stone cartridge, not a good match at all, but that is down to the arm of course. The LP is one of the best cartridges I have had. Unfortunately through national variations in price... | |
| Are High End Audio Products Unreliable? 03-03-12: Inna"Megabuck German table with junk switch and unreliable motor? Are you kidding me? Thank you for telling us that. No TW Acustic for me. Ever". Sorry, but I could'nt agree less. Firstly, by current insane standards for turntables, the... | |
| Are High End Audio Products Unreliable? Some items certainly seem to have a finite life, particularly CD players, which as someone has already said, will always have laser failure after some years. Usually the laser is no longer made. That is something to consider if you are looking at ... | |
| Ortofon tonearms ,Static and Dynamic - Difference? I would just add to my comments about the 309D, that I made in 08. I am still happy with the arm, but found it was a poor match to higher mass cartridges. It really was'nt haapy with one of the stone Koetsu cartridges, much better with a Benz Micr... |
