| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? Thanks for an excellent and exhaustive summary. I am on a similar hunt for speakers in that price range and with high sensitivity. When I put a thread on the Gon a few weeks ago, Lou was kind enough to contact me and suggest the DA 1. I have narro... | |
| SACD Player Shootout I agree with other posts, what an excellent shoot out and thread. I may be mistaken, but I trust a set of enthusiasts doing this sort of comparison,,more than the professionals. However honourable they may be, they are subject to great commercial ... | |
| Tyler Accoustics Lynbrook system ones Sorry to move the discussion sideways a bit, but has anyone heard Ty's new high sensitivity Pro Dynamic range, with compression horn tweeter. It looks like what I need for my SET amp, but it is so new, I don't know if anyone has them yet. | |
| Shanlilng CD players Kilsho, you are right, the tube stage is a little warmer in tone, but lacking slightly in detail. I find the player on the warm side of neutral anyway and the SS output is sufficiently without digital grain and glare, to make Classical enjoyable. ... | |
| Shanlilng CD players I have used the CDT 100 for nearly 3 years now and don't see myself changing in the near future. The big test for me is Classical. I rarely played any classical CDs, because of harshness and glare until the Shanling. Now I enjoy them almost as muc... | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 I have been pondering high sensitivity speakers to match my SET amps for a while. You guys have convinced me to audition the definitions, they are now available in the UK. | |
| AC vs DC motor? I used my LP12 with its origonal Valhalla AC supply, then added an Origin Live DC motor kit. Probably marginally better, BUT don't forget DC motors are noisy, you can hear the brushes even on the best. I have moved on to an Origin Live Resolution/... | |
| $2k for new Cartridge Benz LP or...... Sirspeedy, the retipper in the UK you are thinking of is the cartridgeman www.thecartridgeman.com. He makes the music maker MM cartridge too of course. I have to say I am a Koetsu man too. I am sure Raul is correct, the Rosewood platinum is the on... | |
| Analog tuners in the digital age Don't underestimate the tenacity of public servants(what an ironic name), to interfere in our lives. We in the UK and Europe have had 2nd rate, DAB radio forced on us for years. Analogue radio and TV is due to be stopped around 2008-14, whether we... | |
| The best "no fuss" turntable for $5K or less? Another suggestion is the Origin Live tables, The Aurora Gold or Resolution are very easy to set up and makes a great sound, see reviews in Stereo Times and Stereophile. I am in the UK and they are very reasonable here. I know they will cost more ... | |
| Has anybody heard Zucable's Definition 1.5s Sorry, I am not answering your question either, but asking a question. I am also very interested in the Definition speakers, but am wondering if I can accomodate them. I have a quite large, 20 by 20ft room, but it is very cluttered and I can't mov... | |
| Best 845 amp? I have heard the Unison research monoblocks and use a Viva Solista 845 SET integrated as Tubes 108 pointed out, they are a great line. They are hard to find but a SOLISTA IS FOR SALE ON TTHE GON SITE NOW. I bought mine 2nd hand on this site and it... | |
| VAC Phi integrated or 1 preamp + 1 amplifier I am on the integrated side of the fence, having changed from a costly pre/power combination to a Viva Solista 845 SET integrated and Lavardin IT for a change. There are clear advantages to both routes and I am sure for the ultimate sound a Pre an... | |
| quality jumpers I have used a number of jumpers on my Acoustic zen Hologram cables, including Acoustic Zen ones, but the Audience AU24 I aquired were far better. Logically it ought to be better to use the same brand of cable and jumper, but it ain't necessarily s... | |
| Your Opinion: Coincident Vs. Silverline? Sorry, you misunderstood my answer, it was'nt meant as a criticism of the side firing woofer, only remarking that it made them of necessity, deeper and therefore more difficult to accomodate for myself and steinway57. I will relook at the Super Ec... |
