Judy Collins
Who Knows Where the Time Goes is one of my favorites. Great selection of songs exposing the full range of her voice and singing style. My dad played the crap out of the LP when I was growing up and my copy gets a fair amount of rotation. My wife a... 
Dynamic Design cables
I tried the latest generation Soundstring speaker cables and single-ended IC's. They were very well constructed and the IC's have superior connectors to any that I have tried. They are also very supple and easy to work with. However, in comparison... 
Dynamic Design cables
I just finished wiring my system after trying a variety of different brands over the period of around 8 weeks. In my system I found that the Dynamic Design speaker cables and Spirit Digital Power Cord were the top performers and the best of what t... 
Modwright KWA 150
In my system the KWA150 offers superlative performance on the bottom end. My last amp was an ARC SD135 and while I've made other system changes (particularly the addition of Lou's All Poly crossover option) that do not allow me to make a direct co... 
Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet?
It hasn't been my experience either. Twenty five years, at least a half dozen different turntable/tonearm combinations with at least a twenty different cartridges. Some dealer set up and some by me using various alignment tools. To my ear vinyl be... 
Modwright KWA 150
Thanks, Jax. I've been at this for a quite a while now and I think I've finally got a system that will satisfy for the long haul. I am indebted to Lou, Dan and Keith for their patient and valuable advice and for their talent and passion for what t... 
Modwright KWA 150
I would second what Jax has said about the KWA150/Daedalus combination having lived with it now for about 3 months. Daedalus are available via direct sale and there are a growing cadre of owners who are typically happy to allow interested customer... 
Modwright KWA 150
Ideally, you would want to make a decision on your speakers in conjunction with that of your amplification. I'd narrow down my speaker options to your top contender and then try different amplification to see if you can obtain the sound qualities ... 
Transmission Line Bass
I have yet to hear a speaker that uses a transmission line enclosure reproduce natural sounding bass. I do think that TL's can produce deep and powerful bass when done correctly, but something about a TL system simply does not sound "right" to me.... 
Vandersteen 7 at Audio Connection
I agree John and Audio Connection are an increasingly rare breed. Great idea to bring a bunch of folks together to assess what is one of the most talked about speakers to come out in years. Wish I could have been there to share the experience. 
Modwright KWA 150
I would say the KWA150 is pretty darn neutral. Though other system changes do not allow me to make a definitive statement, compared to my ARC LS26/SD135 combination, the Modwright LS36.5/KWA150 present a slightly more neutral balance through the m... 
Herron VTPH-2
You might want to check out the new Modwright LS100 which I believe has input seleet on the remote. From what I've read this is a very nice and competitively priced linestage that can be ordered with a built in phonostage. Of course, if you have t... 
Herron VTPH-2
Interesting. How do you think the Herron linestage mates with the Modwright? I have gotten best results when the preamp or linestage is matched with an amp from the same manufacturer. This was true with my old Audio Research set up as well as my M... 
Any Soundstring Fans?
On Dan's recommendation I tried the new speaker cable and interconnects. I compared each of these with Dynamic Design Lotus and Empirical Design. The Soundstring was the least preferred of the three. The single ended IC's are beautifully construct...

Kclone: How you liking that KWA? Nice, huh?
