| Class "A" solid state vs. Tube amp.? Chedo: The only part of your system that I have listened to are the 1.1's and I have only auditioned them twice for a short period of time. They seemed to require a great deal of power/current to open up IMO which limits your choices if you have a... | |
| Most Honest Audio Magazine? Outlier: I also enjoy Hi-Fi Choice and generally agree with their points on the gear that I am familiar with and own. The "old reviews" are now back on their web site, just scroll down a ways on the home page. The owner of Musical Fidelity is a pi... | |
| Class "A" solid state vs. Tube amp.? Chedo: What is the rest of your system? It's a hard call because tubes really do it for popular and traditional acoustic music and class "A" is great for classical, especially if you have the power/current reserves for musicical peaks. There are a... | |
| Burn-in time Vs. Getting used to a sound Lak: QUESTION: Does a chicken have lips? ANSWER: No, but it has cheeks. | |
| Neophite needing advice Eldragon: Thanks again for the info on Linn. I looked at the speakers a month ago on their web site and totally disregarded them at the time. I have a Linn dealer that is an hour from here (that's 10 miles in LA) and they are on the way to another... | |
| Burn-in time Vs. Getting used to a sound I kind of performed this test but with the same pair of cables. When I purchased my used HT IC's (already broken in) I knew about directionality but did not know which way the arrows were supposed to go. First time round I had then backwards. It o... | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment Fpeel: Excellent cheap tweak, thanks. I have also seen sheets of thicker aluminum at the lumber yard. | |
| Neophite needing advice Eldragon: PS: Chester Himes detective novel series, ever read any? I am going to try and locate them on Bibiofind. I found out about them in American Heritage magazine. | |
| Neophite needing advice Eldragon: Do you think that the Sekrit could be hung (like a painting) as opposed to being flush mounted? It's an interesting system that you have recommended, very B&O-ish. I am looking at a 12 watt pseudo SET by Audion that the speakers may ... | |
| cal. audio ikon mkII power boss upgrade No-Money: If there are any around and you can audition one at a shop try and find the CL-15. It sounded similar to the upgraded Icon to me and it will give you a good idea of what the change in sound is like. It will sound better at first impressi... | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment On the subject of shielding which in a way pertains to this thread, does anyone know of a commonly obtainable material, hopefully sold in sheets that is good for this purpose? My amp has a separate power supply which is easy to place away from the... | |
| musicality vs. accuracy What ever is your preference is the way to go. I lean toward musicality as long as the timber of instruments sounds correct to my ear. I have been unable to get them all to sound right in a modest system so I concetrate on the ones that are more i... | |
| cal. audio ikon mkII power boss upgrade No-Money: I considered the $600.00 upgrade until I was able to listen to one of the units. It makes the Icon sound more like the newer 5, 10 and 15 models in that the sound is more analytical, but I feel that it loses some of it's musicality. This... | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment Joe_coherent: What simple and relatively inexpensive products are you referring to? Are these from personal experience and/or from a technical website? Please share them with us. I am not against DIY or cheap tweaks at all though I don't think tha... | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment Snowgoblin: The sign remark was merely rhetorical and was in poor taste - I apologize. Your comments remind me of the white paper trolls that exist at "another" audio site, just go there and click on the SET forum and you will see similarities to ... |
