| Montreal Show? lukewarm in my opinion - not as many exhibits as in previous years - no doubt a symptom of the crappy economy. I am also tired of seeing the same 'new' vinyl year after year - very little in the way of new releases. saw some new speakers from a Du... | |
| Supra Sword speakercable: VERY good cable - wish I never sold my pair. (financial reasons) | |
| Any experience with the Proac Response 5? Hi - I used to own the Response 4's and frankly they were one of the most disappointing speakers I have ever owned. I bought them and sold them for $9,000 USD's. They absolutely MUST be driven by tubes ( preferably triode ) and they MUST have a bi... | |
| b&k M200 mono amps over soundcraftsmen 5002 In my opinion, Mr Gregory has given you very solid advice, I too have an old pair of 200's kicking around, but I can't bring myself to sell them. | |
| Any one have Tetras My friend has a pair of 406's - in a few words, they are very nice sounding speakers and are not a difficult drive. They image nicely, are very coherent & punchy, without sounding bloated. (they are not inexpensive, but nothing worthwhile is.) | |
| Totem Mani-2 and Sim Audio Moon I have a friend of mine that has both the Totem Mani-2's (Signature edition, I believe, but not positive) and either the Moon W5 or 10, again not positive - I know it is the one rated around just under 200 w/ch. - truly euphonic combination, very,... | |
| Beatles: Help ? Classic ! | |
| MIT Z-Center Power Conditioner, any comments? very decent unit - not the best, but @ $600 - $700 used, I would not hesitate. It's flexible too - only downside are the relatively cheap duplexes they used, which can easily be upgraded. | |
| Does vinyl outsell the hi rez formats? Oh hell yes, if it's in Stereopile, it must be gospel, right? (sorry, my sarcastic nature got the best of me . . . again. !) | |
| New Beatle's Remasters Does anybody know if these are going to be a rehash of the original British releases, or are they going to remaster the North American releases too ( Beatles 65, Something New, Beatles VI, etc.) | |
| Sony XA7ES to replace Ahh Tjoeb very nice CD Player ( @ about $900 used or so ? ) but it does suffer somewhat from having a captive Power cord. An upgraded cord WOULD benefit, but that's Sony arrogance for you. | |
| what's your favorite album cover? original sticky fingers w. working zipper. | |
| HDCD, any new titles coming out? I heard that Microsoft had bought Pacific Microsonics and that the first thing they did was to pull the plug on HDCD - I could be wrong. (in fact I hope I am, I just recently bought the Classe CDP 1 with an 'HDCD' decoder.) Anyone else hear about ... | |
| Counterpoint SA220 vs. modern amp I've had an upgraded ( from SA-20 ) SA-220 operating with the same tubes for 10 years - no problems whatsoever. I do think that $1,100 is too much for a used unit - more in the $800 - $900 range IMHO. Nice amp though. | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line 2SE vs. SFL2 Hi - I own an SFL 2, and it definitely does NOT sound S.S. in my opinion. I haven't heard the Line 2, but I've heard the Line 3 - that is a beautiful sounding preamp. I've heard that of the entire Line 1, 2 & 3 series, that the Line 2 represen... |
