| Daedalus Audio Apollo Speakers Thanks Scott! I hope one day to get down to your place to hear them myself. You are always welcome here if you are ever in the area. Hope to see you again soon. | |
| Esoteric K-03Xs Player Just received my K-03xs the other day. Unboxed and put on the rack over the weekend. What a fine looking piece of gear. I'll get it connected up and start breaking it in soon. Once I get a sense of what it can do I'll post some comments. | |
| SET amplifier recommendation Agreed, wrong speakers for an SET amp. If you are wedded to the B&Ws and want something that sounds like a very good SET but with balls then take a look at the Linear Tube Audio ZOTL 40. Should be enough power and also give you that special ma... | |
| Hana SL vs AT Art 9 I haven’t but owned an ART 9 for a while—outstanding cartridge. I understand from very reliable sources that the new AT OC9 series, particularly the top line model are extremely good for the money. Maybe have a look? | |
| Looking for a good full range floor stander Take a look at a pair of Daedalus Apollo 11’s and add a pair of BOW’s later if you feel they need to move more air in your room. | |
| Tone, Tone, Tone ! Same as yours--tone first, everything else second. | |
| MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL I bought two of the One-Step pressings--The Nightfly and Bill Evans "Portraits". I have only listened to "The Nightfly". I have two other pressings of that recording. The One-Step is AMAZING. Expensive, yes. But the sound quality is off the charts. | |
| Small Floorstander? A pair of Daedalus Athena V2's just came on--grab them. They even come with wheeled platforms so you can move them around. Sound is exactly what you are looking for and they are in your price range. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A final thoughts. That would be a question for Keith. Give him a call and he will set you straight. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A final thoughts. I wish I could comment on the VTSP-360--maybe someday. That said, I am running a VTSP-3A (R03) with my VTPH-2A. All I can say is I went through 3 ARC linestages and 2 Modwright linestages before I decided to bite the bullet and try Keith's. Glad I... | |
| NOS tube alternatives for Herron VTSP 3A r02 Do what Keith says and tweak something else in your system if you need to scratch that itch. | |
| Review: Linear Tube Audio Z10 Integrated Amplifier Great read--thanks for taking the time to share your impressions of the new LTA integrated. As an owner of the ZOTL Ultralinaer, I was nodding my head all the way through. The LTA/Berning partnership is bringing to the music loving population worl... | |
| Daedalus Audio Apollo Speakers Initially, I used some rubber feet on the bottom of the Apollo's so that I could move them about to dial in the best position in my listening room. As I said, I don't have a lot of space to play with so there was very little moving going on--a sli... | |
| Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers? Daedalus Zeus--heard them at 2018 CAF after spending ten painful minutes in the big VAC/Von Schweikert room (was it $1 million?). The Zeus don't bring bling or boom but the the sound is effortlessly enjoyable and right up there with the best I hav... | |
| 3 great tube preamps. Which would you purchase? J: Cool! Let us know how you like. I was going to recommend Keith's interconnects but you beat me to it. For the money, a no brainer. I heard them in my system and they are very good--you would have to spend lots of money to do a little better. Ch... |
