| DG Recordings I am all with Greg and Rcprince on this one. Generally DG's multimiking and processing techniques don't do the recording much good. The latest example is Abado's wonderful rendering of all the Beethoven Symphonies with the Berlin Philharmonic, whi... | |
| speaker cable upgrade for Inner sound ESL amp? The speakerwire Inner Sound sells, work excellently well with the InnerSound amp you have and they are well within your price range. You can order direct, I think, through www.InnerSound.net. Cheers, | |
| KT90 VS KT88 Generally the 90 is supposed to have more punch and the 88 a tad more delicate in its dissolving powers. | |
| testing tubes... There is a plethora of RCA or Telefunken handbooks on Ebay , where you'll find all the pin diagrams and for the rest I suggest, you follow Ed's advice. Get a good old Hickock or Western Electric tube tester, there are lots of them on Ebay as well.... | |
| Gryphon amps. Greg, I guess that must be it. BTW, as far as the Gryphon preamps are concerned, I am familiar with all their iterations from their very beginning. They are all beautifully built and highly reliable in operation. The sound is open, neutral, transp... | |
| Gryphon amps. Ramy, Spectral harsh and good for Rock music?? Good heavens, how ears( and systems )are different! What wires did you use?I listen mostly to classical music and I cannot bear harshness. The Gryphons are "harsh" in comparison, if you wish to use th... | |
| Jadis Defy 7 info-EL34s?? As far as I am informed, EL34s are not the way to go. KT90s will work, as well as the types you've mentioned. | |
| Gryphon amps. I am very familiar with all their offerings, including the Reference monos. They are solidly built, offer reliable service. The bigger models have a lot of punch, are good in the bottom octave and have nice highs, with only just a very slight tad ... | |
| Electrostatic Speakers I wish to congratulate Duke for his excellent response in putting the pros and cons of stators in the right perspective. I've been using various brands of stators in very different configurations for more than 35 years and have always come back to... | |
| JADIS DIGITAL..can find no reviews..anybody???? Tweekerman, TAS brought out reviews, quite a time back. Unfortunatedly I don't recall when and which issues. That is all I know, I'm afraid. Cheers, | |
| LAST???? Has anybody tried this? Having had the same experience, even a little longer, I fully agree with jacks' findings. | |
| Innersound ESL amplifier - good choice? ASA, I do see your point. Possibly that's why especially the base sounded terribly bloated and the entire impression was even worse, than you had described. Obviously a synergy made in hell! Sanders does NOT say, that all wires sound alike. He is ... | |
| Innersound ESL amplifier - good choice? I've found, that the InnerSound is very dependent on the right wires you are using it with. It sounded, just as ASA has suggested, plainly awful on a Quad 989 with the "best" of NORDOST, whereas I found it almost on par with the best ( and most ex... | |
| Similar site in Europe. Boldt, yes you are right, it is quite cumbersome sometimes, but if you start comparing prices, incl. shipping costs, as well as the number of knowledgeable brothers in arms here on Audiogon, you are well advised in my opionion, to keep an eye on w... | |
| In the last 20-30 years, what has changed most... I'm quite on line with Craig and Albert. Digital has improved, but so have cartridge designs. Also speaking of amps and preamps I would contend, that Spectral preamps have evolved more through the years than their amps, with the exception of the a... |
