| Experiences on Tom Evans phono stage ? I used the Microgroove plus for 2 years. I liked it, but changed to a K&k as bmckenny suggested and I much prefer it, for similar money. The TE is good, but the K&K much better, more musical, if one is allowed to use that term anymore. Ver... | |
| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? I thought that as usual, most of the cost no object rooms with full range speakers, YG acoustics, Focal, were as usual, stymied by room problems, as others have described. The only exception was the Gamut room, which I liked a lot. I agree with ma... | |
| The Hub: TidBits from RMAF 2009: Part TWO Audiogon Bill Thanks for all the effort, I find it hard enough just getting around all the rooms. Now I see comments about rooms I appear to have missed. I liked the Audio Note room as well. Yes the amps are insanely expensive,, but the speakers s... | |
| Anticables, Morrow Cables SP1 or PNF Cables Another vote for Morrow. I have the SP$ and MA4, both are exzcellent, neutral, detailed , with no added colouration. Briefly chatted with Mike at RMAF, which he was visiting as a civilian, like me. | |
| Most musical integrated amp you have heard? I use the Viva solista and have to say it is the best amp I have had. Fast , transparent and neutral with real drive. Having said that, I am about to get rid of it, my wife hates it, to big, to black, runs to hot. I had a Karan K180, which was'nt ... | |
| RMAF and VTL I agree about the sound in that room, very good indeed, but how do you separate the other components. One reason is the relatively small speakers. So many manufacturers keep overwhelming small romms with massive top of the line speakers. Not the b... | |
| Anyone using Lavardin? I used a Lavardin IT for some years. For a SS amp, very nice indeed.. I prefer tubes. The sound was transparent and clean, very fast, perhaps lacking in base. The early amps were unreliable. The one I had was trouble free. | |
| Daedalus Barrelcheif, Say up to $10000, but preferably less, at a discount second hand. | |
| Best Arm for Raven One? High Slowhand, nice to meet you and your wife and Garcia's last Saturday. Has the Raven One arrived yet? As I said to you then, I am sure a Phantom or Triplanar may be the best option, but Thomas recommends the Ortofon 309D or S. I use the D and a... | |
| Daedalus Jazdoc, does that mean you use Modwright with your speakers? I liked them in both the rooms Daedalus speakers were in, though I thought the Da-Rama's sounded better. I am sure this was to do with room matching. I am not sure about the amps, they s... | |
| Daedalus Having taken the plunge and ordered the Da-Rama's at RMAF last weekend, a slight change of direction and some advice please. Hopefully the speakers are my last and yes I know we all say that, but I mean it, I think! The next question, is a last ch... | |
| Meeting point at RMAF for Audiogoners Sounds OK to me too. There is no point meeting up in 2 locations. I am about to go to the lift bar now, it's 5.45 on Friday. If nowone turns up, so be it. I suggest we all make Garcia's on Saturday. | |
| Meeting point at RMAF for Audiogoners I will be flying to Colorado tomorrow, so will be out of E.mail contact. I see the live shows start at 6.15. will that be a problem meeting up at 6pm, David | |
| Subwoofer for Acoustic Zen Adagio? I'm with Aptquark, more than enough base for me, at least for my music preferences | |
| Meeting up at RMAF this year Just to be clear, the meeting point is the Lift restaurant in the Marriott, between 6 and 8pm on friday and saturday evenings. Hope to see some of you there. |
