| Ortofon Quintet Cartridges Rhljazz-That's a very strong statement regarding the Q-Black, congrats on finding a reasonably priced cartridge! I'm using an AT-OC9mk2 on a Rega P9/Allnic 1200 but would like a little more fullness/body/texture/fluidity without adding coloration.... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? (2) 1970's pop/rock masterpieces, Doobie Brothers -Toulouse Street and Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band-Night Moves! | |
| Why Merlins sound better then Sonus Faber Does Merlin offer a neutral floorstanding speaker with bass down to 40hz for $3500? The Venere 3.0 screams potential! I heard the 3.0 being pushed by a Integra 125w/ch HT amp, it sounded fine but I could hear the potential lurking. The SF Venere 3... | |
| Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R. Loomisjohnson-You nailed the qualifying explanation regarding critical acclaim but sales are just as important. I would include...1.Robert Zimmerman, just too many poor recordings with rambling/silly lyrics. 2.Red Hot Chili Peppers not because the... | |
| Once again, impressed by NAD I heard the NAD-375bee on several ocassions and IMO was a better overall sounding amp then the MAC-MA6300. If I was creating a budget system and wanted new gear this would be my amp! | |
| The Emotiva Challenge Isanchez-If your so curious about Emotiva buy the amp! My opinion regarding Emotiva was made a long time ago. If circumstantial evidence is enough to send a man to prison, it's enough to avoid wasting time on a poorly made and designed amplifier! | |
| The Emotiva Challenge Labtec-You get an A for effort defending Emotiva. No I have not demoed an Emotiva(stated in previous post) but many reliable sources(not reviewers) claim-grain/harshness in the treble, a bloated mid bass and congestion when pushed hard. I read the... | |
| The Emotiva Challenge Labtec-You give ridiculous examples of amps that would never sell for around $1k you could have added Gryphon, Soulution or DartZeel to the list to get a bigger laugh! If Emotiva is that great you don't need to exaggerate. I don't want to list all... | |
| The Emotiva Challenge Mitch4t-Yes there is a place for Emotiva, just not on my audio rack. Not all Emotiva "fanboys" are college aged or financially challenged. Many Emotiva buyers have a tendency to believe everything is snake oil after a certain price point without h... | |
| The Emotiva Challenge Labtec-Why are you so defensive regarding your Emotiva gear? First of all you exaggerate when trying to make a point, were not talking about $50k new amps. There are many used under $2k power amps that would be a better choice then Emotiva for any... | |
| The Emotiva Challenge In the 80's Adcom was the go to budget amp. AHC praised these amps to a sickening level, I hope Mr. Cordesman was well compensated for selling his soul! I fell for the trap(was only 19) and purchased a GFA-545 and realized that my Toshiba receiver... | |
| Need help on speaker decisions It appears you like a speaker capable of a high level of resolution with an extended treble. Consider a used Thiel CS 2.4 which also has usable bass below 40hz, no sub needed here. Another option is the Martin Logan Electromotion which would give ... | |
| TAD R-1's vs Yamaha Soavo NS-F901's .... Youtube can give you a small dose of the speakers overall character. Buying a speaker based on a review IMO is just as irresponsible. The only way to be 99% sure is to have the speaker in your own listening room which is easier said then done! My ... | |
| What time do you wear? Schubert-Your correct! A Grand Seiko Spring Drive rivals many very expensive Swiss made watches. | |
| Is it just me or do others really miss A/D/S? The ADS-L1290/2 was always the speaker to replace my Magnepan-SMGa but being a young adult I was never in the financial position to upgrade. It wasn't until I heard the Mirage M5si that an affordable speaker was competitive with the ADS. |
