| Quad 988 / 989 reliability ?? Mbonn, I use an array of stators in mys setup. I am running 63s with a pair of 989s. It is the latter that I am unhappy with and which, after its demise, I shall replace with Sound Labs. Cheers, | |
| Quad 988 / 989 reliability ?? Mbonn, we talking about the ESL 63, right? Had no downtime, because I've always kept a pair in reserve, bought cheap and used. Downtime would have been 4-5 weeks and we are talking Switzerland, Germany here. Service: sometimes panel replacement, r... | |
| Quad 988 / 989 reliability ?? I've been using 63s for years and had no special reliability problems, except for the fact, that after about 3 years of very heavy use they had to go into service, which was costly, but well worth it, because it is still an excellent transducer. N... | |
| Music to test with: Newbee, LOL, I see your "operative" point. I think, I'll go and try it out right now...Cheers, | |
| Music to test with: Newbee, why be so cruel to yourself ? | |
| Music to test with: Pianorecordings, best one with a Steinway, the other a Boesendorfer or a Bechstein, Soprano arias, string quartets, a brass octet, a chorus, massed strings, or a nice slice of Berlioz' Requiem played at full tilt boogie are the acid tests I use to... | |
| Review: XLO 1.1 signature Interconnect Mejames, this is on Quads, Sound Lab and Jadis gear: I found the XLO and the SPM both excellent on transients, similar in the lower highs and bottom octaves, the SPM a tad more open, the XLO bit warmer in the midrange. The biggest difference I det... | |
| Electrostatic speaker cables... Tekunda, what actually do you mean by the term faster? Do you mean dyamics and if yes, in what range of the audible spectrum ? | |
| PS Audio 300 vs Tice powerblock II Nrchy, just a thought, don't know what the Sota Star is, but if it is a turntable, you need to consult the literature very carefully. One of the advantages of the PS Audio is, that you can play around with the cycles in which your electricity hits... | |
| PS Audio 300 vs Tice powerblock II David raises an important point: The PS Audio 300 , good as it is, must not be overloaded and he obviously did. You can use it for the general run of frontend componentry, such as CD player or preamp, certainly not for amps. PS Audio is quite clea... | |
| PS Audio 300 vs Tice powerblock II I own both. I'd sell the Tice first. | |
| Cables other than MIT with Spectral Flex and Bob are absolutely correct in this. However the caveat, according to my experience, does not apply to older Spectral gear. I've run their 200s with all sorts of wires, also the 50s without any detrimental effects whatsoever. | |
| Is it possible for something to be the best? Nrchy, congrats, you've GOT IT!Cheers, | |
| Study finds your Amplifier reveal your personality Albert LOL. Generally WE hold a meeting and vote. In a clinch, the chair, me, decides. So WE get by. As far as the music collection is concernend, you are not far off the mark. Only: generally LPs get played to the end, though Goldmund cuing is pr... | |
