| "I am there" vs. "They are here" Wonjun, you pose a most fascinating question, which is obvious and very important, annoyingly so..just because I never thought of it myself. (-; I haven't read all of the above replies, except for Gregm's, which I find brilliantly accurate. In my ... | |
| What speaker to replace ESL 63? Jtinn,the P 10 is indeed a surprising speaker: Fast, dynamic, coherent, with a hefty bottom end and beautiful highs. But I am surprised, that you prefer its midrange to the Quads. Because it was only there, that I thought the Quad clobbers the P 1... | |
| What speaker to replace ESL 63? Jdanielh, Quad owners ( like me ) often are spoilt so much by these transducers, that they find it difficult to adapt to anything else. Besides, your taste in music also makes for the Quad as the perfect speaker. So why don't you get yourself a pa... | |
| What Would you Trade your System FOR? Well, to be really honest, I woudn't trade it in for anything in this world. Period. | |
| Life span of tubes? Lucky you Rcprince and a long, long life to you and your tubes of course ! (-: | |
| Which frieght company to use to move a 200 pound amp? Bax Global is good for the really heavy stuff. Competitively priced, I found. | |
| Anyone compared any MIT Oracles to 850 CVT Refs? The man from Overture is right on the money. 'twas only after I replaced the 850s with the Oracle V2 (V1 I could'nt afford), that my Spectral DMA 360 monos started to really sing! It was a spectacular step forward in all the important parameters. ... | |
| Life span of tubes? Rcprince is right of course. Haven't seen any NOS Gold Lions or Monarchs for quite a while. Occasionly you can find one or two used at Billington's in the UK and they cost lots of Sterling. To get a feel for prices of other tubes, I suggest you ch... | |
| Will Musical Fidelity A3cr work with Power Plant P300? Though I would think that you would rarely use the full 600 watts of your MF A3cr, at musical peaks you probably would, especially if you like to listen loud. In that case even a P600 would not be enough, especially if you want to run other gear t... | |
| Summer Festival Abstract, sorry to hear the bad news. You are right of course, I've got LSC 2423 and LSC 6097 must be very rare, even on Ebay, contrary to what I had said, having the simple "Festival" LP in mind. (YES, MAKE IT AND I'LL BUY IT AS WELL!!) | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? RWD, WOW, now you are talking! I used to own the Servo Statics 1-A, sans the bass however, used the panels for the mids and highs and mated them with the Maggie bass panels you mention, which I still run today, together with my Quads. Those highs ... | |
| Summer Festival Abstract, I just looked at www.classicrecords.com for you. In the catalogue search section I put in " festival" and bingo, they've got it for 30 bucks. you can buy it there online. Hope that helps. Regards, D | |
| Summer Festival Try Ebay for the original version. Look under "living Stereo", it pops up there fairly regularly about three times a month and generally you can have it for below 25 bucks. I don't recall seeing it on the Classic Records catalogue. Cheers, | |
| Vertical Bi-Amp Wiring Rap, I'm using your second configuration from a Gryphon Electra to 2 pairs of Gryphon Ref. monos. The wire is XLO Sig. balanced. Tried first with a Y connector at the preamp end and two runs of XLO. Could not discern any difference either way soni... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Fcrowder, the Quads driven by a pair of Jadis 80 monos, HP of TAS once called a match made in heaven and by golly, how right he was! |
