| On The Feeding And Care Of Vienna Mahlers Guido In my experience, as far away from walls as possible and they possess huge bass and mid bass exerberance. I thought they sounded better woofers placed out, mainly due to the fact that they seemed to breath easier with them out and not effect... | |
| Voltage question? NO they don't. I technician should be able to change the voltage to 240vlts on the pre amp. NOt sure on the power, but I doubt it - it generally has a special 240vlt transformer for power amps. | |

| Copland DRC205 digital room correction Hi Wazmoh " I am using the flat setting. I found the BBC curve a little warm for my tastes. I'll report back as soon as I've tried creating a custom setting" Does the manual have what the flat and BBC curve settings look like?? Or can you plug you... | |
| Copland DRC205 digital room correction thanks for this Wazmoh. I take it from the comments here you have used the pre-set BBC voicing?? How easy was the room measuring with the microphone and how is the quality??. I have just spent the weekend demoing the Lyngdorf RP-1. Very easy to me... | |
| Tact Pre Amps 2.2XP I had a read ( or tried to) of the manual and various updartes of the 2.2XP. Is it just me or is this unit incredibly complex to operate and make your own eq settings?? I am an analog guy. I just used the Lyngdorf roomperfect P1 and it is very goo... | |
| Copland DRC205 digital room correction TAS just reviewed DRC205 and R Greene gave it a rave. However read the hifi-news review - see link and it would seem that it is very much a mid fi product.http://www.absolutesounds.com/index.php?page=21&product_id=401 anyone actually heard it?? | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH Raul MF also compared the Monaco against the Merrill or are you forgetting that. No-one has seemed defensive against his comments on the Merrill??? has anyone heard the Merrill?? | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH Raul Your comments re myself and others " MF has a great great responsability in its hands ( like no one in the analog domain. ) and that's why I think he has to be more carefully about" I respectfully disagree. YOu don't need to agree with the fi... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH I think Mikey does a very good job at reviewing, as he is consistent in his listening approach and generally has more than one arm / cartridge combination to makes his assessment on its sound. As long as you understand Mikey's musical tastes and t... | |
| Baby Koetsus? ie, Poor Mans Koetsu I own both a denon 103R and Koetsu Rosewood and the denon 103R is superb. The denon 103R plays rock n roll better than the Koetsu as it seems to have a little more weight in the upper bass/lower mids, the Rosewood has the slightly more magical mid... | |

| New versions of Vienna Mahlers, Strauss? I have heard the 201's and 501's and I agree, something is wrong with the treble with most class D amps. I have heard the 312's are a different beast The mahlers are a very different sound vs Maggies thou | |
| New versions of Vienna Mahlers, Strauss? GuidocoronaWhat speakers do you have now?? I know you also have the ref 3 and the rowland's will drive and control the mahlers very well. the listening area might be a little on the small side, however I am no expert. Hope raquel chimes in as he h... |
