| Your Opinion: Coincident Vs. Silverline? I am making a similar search and am looking at similar speakers. I would love to go for Coincident, but simply can't accomodate them. On discussion with the dealer, the conclusion was the farther out from the wall the better, complicating that is ... | |
| Living Voice Avatars Review I have used the Avatars for 2 years and enjoy them. I don't think they are perfect as many of the UK Hi-Fi mags seem to, but I have enjoyed them. I would say that coloured is the last thing I would call them, I find them very neutral. I would say ... | |
| Efficient full range floorstanders to match SET Thanks for all the advise. I would love to go for horns, but can't fit a decent pair in. My thoughts then are: Silverline Sonata Reimer Wind River or the GS version, I am not sure about the difference Tyler Acoustics new line of high Sensitivty sp... | |
| MC transformers - what do they sound like? I can't compete on the technical descriptions, which are helpful by the way. In fact I have just changed from a good SS conventional phono stage, the Clearaudio reference, to a K&K phonostage. The lateral is a JFet/tube hybrid with Lundahl tra... | |
| Tyler Acoustics Super Towers Sorry to introduce a new subject, but has anyone heard the even newer pro dynamic range with compression horns. I spoke to Ty who was very helpful of course, about a speaker to match my 18 watt SET. He put me onto this range, I would appreciate a ... | |
| Efficient full range floorstanders to match SET Thanks for all the ideas, in fact I had a chance to listen to the Zingali overture 3's last night. Just as I feared, wonderful on solo voice and jazz, but the soundstage collapsed and the sound became harsh and congested with an opera chorus or or... | |
| Myth: low-power high-efficiency I agree, a fascinating thread and a subject I have been struggling with. I discussed the power issue with Kevin Scott here in the UK, he makes the well regarded Living Voice Speakers, a range built with tubes in mind and with about 94db sensitivit... | |
| New Cartridge choice thanks, gentlemen, as usual, a thoughtful and useful set of responses. | |
| New Cartridge choice Very helpful thankyou, to answer Doug Deacon's question, I am getting the fully adjustable K and K stage, 44db on mm and set for 20db gain with the installed Step Up, that is 64db gain in total. You can adjust the step up to a maximum of 70db of g... | |
| Ladies analogy lover? My wives, only 2 not 3, have shown an amused tolerance to my HiFi Journey over the years. They have enjoyed the results, but would have been just as happy with a supermarket silver box. Face it chaps, with a few honourable exceptions, the ladies v... | |
| Large Classical Record Dealers I second E-Bay, albeit it, in the UK. I have never had any major problems, beyond slight disappointment in the surface quality compared with the description. I agree, find an E-Bay online trader you can trust, or a few and stick with them. Another... | |
| Haven't played my LP's in 20 years - still good? Some of my vinyl dates back to the 60's and they are still fine. The big threat seems to be damp and mould, which can be tough to deal with, typically if the records have been kept in a cellar(sorry basement) for years. Help is at hand, Michael Fr... | |
| Best female vocals on CD I have read most of the thread and will only nominate names that appear infrequently. Stacey Kent Kari Bremnes(Norwegian folk singer) Kate Rusby(English Folk singer) Sara K Eliza Gilkyson Sarah Massen (particularly, Dreamlife of Angels) Lori Mcken... | |
| Shouldn't amp reviews employ multiple speakers? An even more annoying habit in HiFi Plus, is to occasionally not list partnering equipment at all. You really don't know where you are then. I am sure we only use reviews as a guide to audition, but I have to admit to second hand unauditioned purc... | |
| Lavardin IS Reference or IT - anyone heard? "Another boutique brand with very little bang for the buck". Any evidence for that?, experience of using it in your system? I agree it is'nt the most powerful amp out there, but anyone can build a 300watt SS amp on the cheap, the question is, woul... |
