| Gallo reference /TAS vs Me Jeffrey, that's great if you don't mind having your multi-megabuck speaker inventory sitting there unsold and gathering dust until you discount it enough to get rid of it. :-) | |
| Gallo reference /TAS vs Me Here's something to ponder regarding dealer auditions, from Srajan Ebaen's follow-up (June) to his original review (April) at six.moons.com (Read these if you haven't already):"As I've said before, pricing a $10,000/pr beater at $2,595/pr is askin... | |
| Gallo reference /TAS vs Me I agree with Rad 21 -- you're describing a pair that is not broken in. The break-in period begins after they've been playing about 6 hours and lasts for about 100 hours, if my pair is typical. I was also worried about image size, since my speakers... | |
| Musical Fidelity's x10-v3 tube output buffer? I too tried the original 10XD and found that it only "smoothed" (i.e., veiled) the sound in my system. Maybe the new version is better. Dave | |
| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas Okay, let's cut to the chase. When will it be available? I've started rationing again :-)Dave | |
| VR-4jr or Gallo Nucleus Reference 3 Again, I really don't understand the insistence that the Ref 3s require a lot of wattage. With no crossover except between the woofer and mids, 8 ohm impedance, and 88 db sensitivity, they sound spectacular fed by my 12 wpc SET monoblocks. I had u... | |
| Tonearm Alignment Gauge Dennesen Soundtracktor I'd stick with the Dennesen. It's the best I've tried so far, presuming you can locate the exact center of your arm's pivot point. The WallyTractor is the only alternative I can think of, but from what I've read, obtaining one to match your partic... | |
| VR-4jr or Gallo Nucleus Reference 3 I own the Gallos. At the very least, audition them. My salesman said that since he has had them for audition he has sold 11 pairs, and sold nothing else since -- no other speakers -- above their price point. I'm using a separate stereo amp and low... | |
| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas After doing about a dozen discs, the Last brushes I'm using show absolutely no discoloration. Better yet, my styli (two vinyl setups) stay clean as a whistle.Put me down for a gallon, too, Paul. This stuff is dynamite. Although it's a bit depressi... | |
| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas First, many thanks, Paul, for sending the second, larger samples.I figured I could now afford to "waste" a little and went to my stack of unplayable-but-can't-bear-to-throw-them-out-discs and found a Herbie Mann album with arrangements by Oliver N... | |
| I Need Some "Modern Groove" Jazz Suggestions Greg Osby is the only name I can come up with, but frankly you sound hopeless :-) I mean, if you like bass but don't like Ray Brown, what is there to say?Good luck, Dave | |
| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas Paul, that's hysterical. | |
| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas Yes, Paul, I'd be happy to pay you for the larger quantity, too, and thanks for offering. Dave | |
| Revel Salons - Do they really sound like this? I accompanied a friend to a dealer demo of either the Salons or the Studios -- can't remember which -- with Levinson electronics and Meridian digital gear. We couldn't leave the room fast enough. They sounded as you described. I figured it must ha... | |
| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas Well, this testing process is turning out to be harder than I expected. I bought some used records this afternoon, tried to get a handle on the "before" and then listened to the "after." Yes, a nice improvement, but not one I swear I could pick up... |
