| What Integrated Amps have the sonics of Separates? Manufacturers seem to be taking integrated amps more seriously these days. For lower powered tube amps, there are countless choices, VAC, Jadis, Viva, Mastersound, Almarro, Ayon etc etc. Higher power seems more limited, I can think of the VAC Phi ... | |
| how to spot an early Koetsu I too, was'nt aware there were any counterfeit Koetsu's. Do they exist and has anyone been unfortunate enough to buy one? | |
| anyone use ikea for lp racks? I use Ikea too, one advantage for LPs and the Benno CD racks, is there height. They go up to near my ceiling, so are very economical for space. Frankly Jazzcourier, if I was in a large eartquake, e few LPs on the floor would be the leadt of my wor... | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers I agree with the stone. I used a 1/2" slab of limestone with Herbies big fat dots. Big and cheap improvement over spikes onto carpeted pine. As Thorman found, tighter better defined base | |
| Daedalus Thanks to both of you, a misunderstanding, dodgealum. I was not planning to use a sub with the Da-rma, just wondering what sort of base I would get out of it, whether I would notice the loss of a bottom octave as comared with the DA 1. I realise t... | |
| Daedalus Rrsclyde Very helpful, thankyou. I am sorry to keep bashing on about the base, but, you say you use a sub, could you comment on the Da-rma's without the sub | |
| Opinions: PASS Aleph 5 with a CJ premier 17LS? I used a 17LS for a year with an Aleph 3 and was very impressed. I changed from a Graaf pre and the CJ was considerably better. The wide soundstage struck me first, but the sound in general was just great. I went integrated, but that was the best ... | |
| Devore Super 8s vs Acoustic Zen Adagios I have the Adagios and enjoy them greatly. I am about to audition the Gibbon 9's as a possible upgrade and will report back. From what I have been advised the Devore's are a step up in price and performance. For the money and particularly second h... | |
| Vpi vs. TW Acustic Emailists: Could you comment on your additions, the platform, weights etc. There is a recent review on Stereomojo re weights and clamps. For all I know, it is your review. I would recommend a Raven owner having a look at the site. All I have done ... | |
| Vpi vs. TW Acustic The fact that a product is "flavour of the month" as TW is, does not, of itself mean it is overhyped rubbish. The One in particular, I think is exceptionally good value. It is an intrinsically simple design, but beautifully engineered and built to... | |
| best hybrid integrated amp 100wpc or more Two more come to mind, firstly LSA Signature and statement, 150watts as I remember. Secondly and harder to find, the AcousticPlan Sitar, only 50watts, but a really nice, detailed sound. I have heard both at shows and could live with either. The Pa... | |
| What power cord are TW Acustic TT owners using? I tried a few power cords on my One and like others, found no difference. In the UK, the One used to come with a Millenium record weight. The UK importer felt it made no real difference. Mine came with Millenium feet, I certainly found an audible ... | |
| Vpi vs. TW Acustic If you want a small footprint, the One is the one to go for, excuse the pun. Thomas says the One gives 95% of the performance of the AC at ? less than half price. Mine is the last table I will ever need. It is built to last a lifetime. | |
| Grand Prix Formula vs BDR shelf for source I find Stillpoint feet with Risers very effective, but obviously it depends on the deck and rack. They are much cheaper | |
| Daedalus A quick question to you Da-RMa users, any comment on the base? It looks ideal to me, but the specs give a range down to 38hz. I know actual experience of the base may bear little relation to what the specs are. Do you feel you are missing anything... |
