| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Hi Acoustat6,I still feel that the vehemance in the argument is a bit disproportionate. I just read the thread that seems to create many of the current issues and Raul states that he HAS treated his room: "I'm very luckily and don't have (I fix it... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Acoustat6, I must confess that I use two velodyne DD12 subs in stereo to my Talon Hawk monitors and the sound is fantastic. I was wondering if there are two distinct prioritisations between you and Raul here:Raul focuses on the system from front (... | |
| Amplifiers for Talon Hawk monitors Rives,I see your point but think that the 23.5 and old Ref 20 are not really the same beast. Have you seen the brief comparison at http://www.stereophile.com/solidpreamps/606/index9.html? Chaz801Thanks again. I am very happy with it but no doubt w... | |
| Amplifiers for Talon Hawk monitors Hi All,Just to say, on the sub/monitor issue, you might want to give a close read to the various positive cases presented at http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1117893153&read&keyw&zzintegrated+subs.The Google search on ... | |
| Amplifiers for Talon Hawk monitors Chaz801, Many thanks but I really think that the Talon/Hoodoh/Levinson/velodyne combination - as driven by my Essential 3160 line/phonostage - gives me live music/performances in my listening room. I cannot put into (a few) words what this all mea... | |
| How good is the 'Music Maker Classic'? Hi Jaybo and Johnny653,My focus has moved away from this but I am still interested in any comments on its actual performance. You can see the cause for my move of focus in my most recent comments to the thread at http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/... | |
| Amplifiers for Talon Hawk monitors Hi All,I just have to let you all know of a recent discovery that has me very excited. By happy coincidence, I recently had the opportunity to try the Talons on the Escalante Hoodooh stands. This transformed by Talons into a whole new beast: bette... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,I would just like to say thanks for the advice. I bought the Nagaoka MP-50 as recommended. I started off with it on my Morch DP6 rep point and (straight out of the box) it was something very special. The soundstage, dynamism and frequency ran... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s set up Dan_ed,I was talking about those in the thread at the time and some related off-line conversations. I've tried it with an SME V, Ikeda, Lustre GST 801 and now the Audiocraft AC-3300. I found that - all things being equal - 2.1g worked best (for my... | |
| Stand out phono stages Pedrillo,I believe the very best phono stages are indeed very expensive but then again, they do possess state of the art components and design technology. FM Acoustic does a very good phonostage called the FM 222. However, the best I have ever hea... | |
| Jazz Recommendations Ray,True, I'm looking forward to trawling through some of the great recommendations that keep coming up on this phenomenal thread. Who needs magazine reviews!? | |
| Jazz Recommendations Anything by Kurt Elling. Simply fabulous singer with good quality recordings on CD. Favourites of the one's that I've bought so far are: 'Flirting with Twilight' (especially tracks, Orange Blossoms in Summertime); 'Man in the Air' (especially trac... | |
| How good is the 'Music Maker Classic'? Jayob,In what ways does the AT 150x compare to the Music Maker Classic? Also, what are your views on the latter?Thanks | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,Have you tried the various Nagaoka cartridges and which one would you recommend as the best for matching the strengths of the Music Maker 3 and yet exceeding it in refinement?Many thanks as alway... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,I hope to be having the chance to listen to the new Music Maker Classic on my Morch DP6 redpoint arm shortly. I'll let you know if reports are correct and it does indeed exceed the performance of the MM2 and MM3. If it does, and given my expe... |
