| Best tube integrated under 1500 new or used Pathos Classic One MkII! Super sweet running them in bridged/mono mode! | |
| Double your pleasure with same cable throughout? One last thought; I would not try to use cabling to "fix" what's perceived as a major flaw in the system's sound. If you just don't like what's happening, look for a component change, not a cable change. There may be exceptions, but typically I ha... | |
| Double your pleasure with same cable throughout? Just last night, I put in a Tice Infinite Speed power cord in place of the Tice PC-2 cord which was going to the cdp. That one power cord changed the dynamics of the MIT 750 Shotgun S3 speaker cables I had just bought. Initially, I was unimpressed... | |
| What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers? I had a love affair with 1.6's for a while, then began to see the shortcomings of them. Switched to Eminent Technology LFT-8A's, and did a 'stacked' E.T. speaker system with biamping all around. ENORMOUS fun! Finally, tried out the Apogee Calipers... | |
| Best audio shops in the Chicago area? Yes, the guys at Ultra Fidelis are excellent; I've bought several pieces from them over the years. For those curious about convergence and HT, they have a device called Music Mountain which is hard drive based music/video system. Not cheap, but pu... | |
| Ok....Audiogoners: need some tube amp ideas I'm doing the Pathos monos using the Classic One MkII's; I'm enjoying them immensely! See my reviews (one review of the Classic One MkII in stereo; the second review of twin units in bridged/mono mode) on audioasylum.comSee also my virtual system.... | |
| Best audio shops in the Chicago area? Glenn Poor's in Champaign has some very nice components! Well worth looking into. Also, not sure if they're still around, but Red Rose (I think it's the more affordable Levinson line) was good as well. Not as big selection, but some very aesthetic... | |
| Pathos Classic One int.: So many for sale- Why ? S7horton and Kops,What tube hybrid integrateds did you do an A/B comparison in your system to the Classic One or MkII? | |
| High Efficiency System- Noise Floor Reality Check? "...if you put your ear up the tweeter or midrange horn, a soft 'zzzz' type electrical noise, and from the woofers, a muted 60 hz hum. From the listening distance you can't hear it at all...I'm not so anal as to believe I can eradicate all system ... | |
| What is your most beautiful component? Pathos Classic One MkII tube hybrid integrated amp(soon to be twinned, as I plan on running them in bridged/mono mode) is my most gorgeous component. And yes, they DO sound as fantastic as they look! | |
| Nice looking - for living room? I'm partial to the Pathos Classic One MKII tube hybrid integrated amp(soon to be released MKIII). One of the most beautiful integrated amps I've seen. It sounds better than any pre/amp combos I've tried over the years! Your system would be super l... | |
| Possible Upgrade: requesting ideas Do a little poking around and check into Chapman Audio Systems at 206-463-3008That should get you in touch wih Stuart Jones, the owner/designer. His T-7 speakers are highly regarded, and better known on the West coast. He doesn't do the internet t... | |
| Anyone else seeing Anomalies w. Rega Apollo? Viridian, Yes, with the mono version you have to buy two. Better resolution, but it's a real bear to try and get the two players for L/R chanel in sync when you listen. Kehut, you bought and sold it within three weeks? Man, you just got enough of ... | |
| Bispeakering...am I the only one? Aball,Greetings, you seem to be on the Quest for the Ultimate Sound...(having burned through 40 components so far!)A while back I did something similar, a "Stacked" speaker configuration. I had two sets of Eminent Technology LFT-8A speakers (hybri... | |
| Shanlilng CD players Before you get carried away by the looks of the Shanling, have a listen to the Rega Apollo. It's a new player, and worthy of consideration. In the end, do you want to pay for looks or sound? |
