| MBL 9011 v/s Boulder 2050 monos Hi, to some FM Acoustics is da best amplifier in da world, period! This is regardless of loudspeaker impedance or capacitance. They are better than Boulder, MBL or Burmester. I know this is quite a statement, but if the ear is the judge this might... | |
| Is the RAM Modified Esound E5 the REAL THING? That is very nice to hear Phaser. I'm also contemplating to have a CEC TL-1X belt drive CD transport modded by a well known technician here in The Netherlands, that means clock replacement and power supply revision.Chris | |
| Is the RAM Modified Esound E5 the REAL THING? Megasam, I was talking about modding in general. There are some audiophiles who think that their expensive unit even when it is spanking new sounds only good when it is modded. So why buying a $7,000 unit when it has to be modded first before it s... | |
| Is the RAM Modified Esound E5 the REAL THING? The problem with modded units is that it is difficult to have one for an audition or for an comparison with a non modded unit. Modifications could be fantastic on paper, but still it is the ear that is the judge. Even if a unit has all parts insid... | |
| Componets first, cables second? Mariaspl.: In the 1960's people played their music through vintage tube amps and ESL 57's and they were using... zip chord for interlinks and power cords. The sound was simply glorious! Better than many of today's gears, even with the ultra expens... | |
| $40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list Hi Max, some audiophiles say the Apogee Diva (or the original Apogee) is the best speaker ever made regardless of money. You really want to have a dynamic type of transducer? In this case I would choose for the Sonus Faber or Kharma. Maybe you can... | |
| Do we believe in Machina Dynamics? Hi folks, of course these things (like the Brilliant Pebbles and Shakti Hallographs) are nonsense :)I think there are others that aren't nonsense but their importance is way overrated. Examples: the new WBT RCA plugs. This is a pure marketing stra... | |
| We are normal unlike the rest eh??? ha ha Is the audio part (background music) of the video a "live" recording of the music that was playing through the audio systems? Or was it "mixed" after the shooting of the video? In the Sakuma video's one can actually hear how his system really soun... | |
| Tannoy Westminster Royal HE There is not one dealer in The Netherlands who has Tannoy Westminsters for an audition, so I really don't know what the Tannoy sound is and what the Westminster is capable of. My only references are the Dunlavy SC-V (which I own) and the Apogee Di... | |
| A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt? I agree fully with Shardone that a good properly matched gear should not change presentation dramatically because of a different piece of cable.In the 60's and 70's there were several very musical sounding systems (Thorens/Marantz/Quad ESL 57) aro... | |
| Tannoy Westminster Royal HE Thank you Shadorne.Chris | |
| Tannoy Westminster Royal HE Used Westminsters are not very easy to get (in fact this is a very uncommon thing). But I've seen there is a pair for sale! Do you think it is worthwhile to replace my Dunlavy SC-V's with them? Thank you.Chris | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option Well, this is not the end of belt driven turntables, but this is certainly the end of the dogma that belt drive is (far) superior to direct drive. I think the proponents of belt driven turntables will disagree with this: they will miss the sight o... | |
| Rega Saturn. Is it really a giant killer? There is no such thing as a "giant killer" in audio. Yes, there are pieces of audio that belie their costs, but it is very unlikely that a $ 1,500 piece of audio is comparible soundwise to a $ 10,000 unit.Chris | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? How is the Accuphase C-280 or C-290V? Also contender for best preamp or not? It has lots of electronic parts inside though.Chris |
