| Amplifiers for Talon Hawk monitors Hi Rives/Chaz801, I've had a few people now suggest the VAC amp and, indeed, Mark Farnsworth had originally told me that he favours valve amplification with the Hawks. However, I am more inclined to move for a ss amp: partly due to the fact that I... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? Dave b, I'm surprised that preamps such as those from FM Acoustics and other state-of-the-art SS brands, such as the Essential 3150, are not more emphatically praised by you. Your criteria for valuation seem to be spot on and, IMHO, these devices ... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? Dave b, I just wonder if the role of hifi should be to "make music" or to convey the music that is made by the musician/s!? The accuracy of this conveyance (transit...) being a fundamental requirement of achieving high fidelity: the truth/fidelity... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Coneflap, huge thanks. I agree with your appraisal: I've not played mine in years but would be interested in selling it. | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Unless I have missed quite a lot, the argument is being misrepresented. Matt and I both own the Essential and would both (I believe) argue very strongly that it is not only objectively accurate, it is also subjectively beautiful in its representat... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 I have various friends who are open about "listening to their hifi". In many instances, this has meant that they acknowledge the importance of listening to that-something-extra that their equipment imparts to actual produced sound (for which the t... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Hi Gregadd, he has and so I suppose you really should try to hear it. Having said that, I would not necessarily endorse your view of ss electronics! For example, the EAR 324 can be contrasted with the EAR 834P Signature to appreciate the potential... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Hi Piedpiper, I am a proud owner of the Essential 3150 and have had a chance to compare it with my various former preamp's and phonostages. These include an EAR 324, Audio Research LS25 MKII, Conrad Johnson PS16, Croft classic, and an Atma-sphere ... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Carlos, many thanks. However, the site only has a basic photograph and scant information. Any information that Agoners can give would be truly appreciated.Atb | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Raul & Coneflap,I have a Spectral MCR Reference with its full blue body but have only played it as a spare when all other cartridges are down or out. I cannot find any information on it and wondered if you could point me in the right direction... | |
| Sonus Faber Extremas ? Sirspeedy, I use my Townshends with Talon Hawks monitors (said to go to 40Khz flat) and they do indeed make a notable difference even here: set at 2 on their dial. I would suggest that you experiment with cables. I use the same cable as I use for ... | |
| Amplifiers for Talon Hawk monitors Dear All,A somewhat belated "thank you" for your informed suggestions and kind help. I've now auditioned fairly widely and will stick to the 23.5, until I find something that works better (for my hearing and expectations). Any additional suggestio... | |
| Siltech G5 range compare with Stereovox Reference Hi Chris,I'm using Raul Iruegas' Essential 3150 from an Ikeda tonearm and so I'd need a 5 pin Din to two XLRs phono cable. Would a custom made 2.5m length of your BAL600 cable be a possibility?Thanks again | |
| Jazz Recommendations In addition to my earlier suggestions there are the following MUST hear/buy pieces:LP:1. Miles Davis, 'Lift to the Scaffold' (The Complete Recordings)- available on an excellent recent German, Fontana 180g audiophile pressing. Recorded around the ... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Hi All,As an Essential owner from across the pond (yes, it's me to whom Raul refers above), I can only say that it surpasses anything I've heard or owned before. As a formerly life-long tube listener, I should mention that there were a variety of ... |
