| The Hub: News, events, gossip - Sound by Singer to close Boy, from what I have read on this and other sites I sure hope that Mr. Singer gets visited by four ghosts real soon. | |
| The CD player is dead....... Ok, you say "sell your cd player and embrace the future". Who do we sell it too, wouldn't those people who would purchase the used cd player be morons as well for buying a cd player? I will forward a copy of this thread to a friend who's computer ... | |
| Need suggestions about replacing a Classe' 2200 I have the CA2200 and it is a wonderful amp. I chose it for my system over the Pass 250.5, Mac402, Sim W7 and Nagra PSA. If I was to look at something in a mono-bloc I would probably audition the Classe M400 and would love to try the Pass XA60 but... | |
| Quick poll: Most enjoyable audio magazine ? For me it used to be HiFi+ but they have really gone down hill lately, even to the point of the local book store seems to be still waiting for thier december issues to arrive. Now it would be a toss between TAS and Stereophile. I prefer a few of t... | |
| Billy Bags Cracked Glass I know the english are fond of glass and the Naim Fraim are very highly regarded rack systems. I will probably give the Billy Bags cracked glass a try, awaiting to see color samples. | |
| Still point risers or Racing cones? I use stillpoints but they are not always the "Best". On my Classe CA2200 power amp, a real benefit, would not use them without. My Belles 21A, very nice, cleaner and more detail than BDR cones and Herbies Iso-cups and ebony balls. On Mini Max pho... | |
| Belles 22A users yet? I did get a chance to audition a VTL 5.5 series II for a week and it was much better. There was a small wiring error in my first one and VTL was very quick to address the issue. The VTL series II as a whole was better than my 21A. The VTL had more... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck or Pro-ject 9.1? I would compare the nottingham to the Pro-ject 10.1. I have heard both and own the spacedeck. I am biased and do prefer the nottingham but the 10.1 is very nice, it has a nicer base but I did upgrade my Spacedeck with a custom base from Silent Run... | |
| Sonus Faber Fenice Now that is a new look. Not nearly as stunning as the strad. Will look forward to reading more information as it comes out. | |
| RE: Better...Classe CA-2200 or Levinson 333-5-6? I have not heard the 350.5 but with the parsifals I don't think it would make much difference to me. I don't listen to music load, don't require vise like base control and really enjoy the sweetness of music in the mid range. Now if I could I woul... | |
| RE: Better...Classe CA-2200 or Levinson 333-5-6? Though I cannot comment on your particular combinations my testing a few years ago might help. The speakers I was using were the Verity Parsifal Encores, newest version. Sim W7, great dynamics, excellent "slam", very fast and dynamicPass 250.5, mu... | |
| WA Sasha verusu SF Sstradivarius? I heard the Stradivarius a few years ago on a trip to Calif and it was stunning. I do not rememeber the electronics and will send an e-mail for more information but I remember that there was at least tube amplification. It was a very nice system. ... | |
| What is Musicality? Musicality is one of the most important Alities that are in the science of sound and visual interpretation. I will stick with sound here. Musicality is the ability to bring the musical experience to ones psyche, to create the illusion of actual mu... | |
| SS amp - which one ??? I had a belles Ref. 150A for several years, the older model with the better power supply. I have also demo'd the 350A and the MB200 monoblocs. Great amps but not even close to "tube like". Dynamic with great bass and "slam". I wanted tubes but did... | |
| B&W 802 and Stillpoints I have tried my Parsifals on the hostess twinkee's and the cup cakes. I did not like either. The cup cakes made the sound to dark and the twinkee's added a bit of air and lightness at first but eventually I got tired of them and a little nauseous.... |
