| Review: Acoustic Zen Adagio Speaker Russellreich, my sincere apologies for the extremely late reply! Haven't been engaged on the site much for a couple months due to work, family, life in general getting in the way!To answer your question, the differences between amps can be readily... | |
| Squeezbox Touch USB or SPDIF? Grannyring,Why is is it "well worth it" to go with the USB reprogrammed as an output rather than using SPDIF? Just wonder what the reasoning is there.... | |
| Review: Musical Fidelity Music Fielity M6i Integrated Dual M Amplifier Nice review, thanks! I've actually been thinking about an m6i myself and your review helps. Hope you're still enjoying it! | |
| A very successful DIY outrigger project. Sweet...! I've actually been thinking about the Soundocity outriggers for my Adagios. Might look at doing something like this instead, very clever!Love my Adagios as well, did a review here on Audiogon for them recently, too. Don't know of anythin... | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Matrix II and Hologram Interconnect Hey Geared,Thanks for the feedback. One thing that I have become convinced of with cables is to try and get the most "synergy" possible in them. Trying to mix & match from different manufacturers just always seems to be a disaster in my experi... | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Adagio Speaker An interesting update...Not long after finishing up my review, I noticed something was suddenly not quite right with my system; some of the life was gone, the image was collapsed, the sound was dull, just not right. After a little investigation I ... | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Adagio Speaker Addendum....In re-reading some of my comments about the Adagio, I notice that I said little about the speaker's sounstaging & imaging abilities. Maybe that's because, like the rest of their presentation, those properties are so natural it almo... | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Adagio Speaker Thanks for the responses folks...!Roxy 54, no I have not considered that. I'm sometimes a little suspicious of mods (even though I've done plenty myself over the years!), but it may be worth some serious investigation. I'll check it out!Junglem, I... | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Adagio Speaker Peter S,Thanks for your comments! I've used my current Red Dragon amps for quite a while with the Adagios and previously had a pair of Aleph clones and both sounded extremely good. Considering that they have a relatively easy impedance to drive, a... | |
| Biggest impact on you? Heathkit tube integrated, old Ampex reel to reel and EPI MicroTowers... back in junior high. Wish I could remember all the model numbers, and that I still had them! Made me realize that there was something beyond the sound that came from the big S... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Used Meridian 508.24 or the Marantz SA8004. I've had both, and both are outstanding. I've kept the SA8004 because it just slightly edged out the Meridian on Red Book CD, plus does SACD playback and I can tap into its DAC for my Squeezebox. One hec... | |
| Best 2CH SACD Player for $2k Or Less, New or Used? Marantz SA8004... quite a surprise! | |
| Review: Threshold 400a Amplifier Just saw this review and really enjoyed it. I owned a 400A myself MANY moons ago (ca 1985 or so...) and it still sticks in my mind as one of the best I've ever owned; wish I still had it! If I'm ever able to afford a "super amp", there's a good ch... | |
| Review: Red Dragon M500 Amplifier Jegyed,I think you'll hear a marked improvement in clarity and frequency extension out of the M500's in comparison to the 8008. I met the guys that owned Aragon at CES back in the dark ages when they still had CES in Chicago in the summer (ok, I'm... | |
| Review: Red Dragon M500 Amplifier Blindjim,Your comment about power may have some truth in it, but the discussion of "how much" can be dicey at best. You have to take into consideration things like what "class" the amplifier is running in (A, AB, D, T, etc...), how much current it... |
