| Best 5 engineered rock albums? "brothers in arms" is a digital recording with little or no deep bass and it sounds artificial - not sure how anyone could have it on their top five list - "lover over gold" is a lot more dynamic and lifelike recording.Anyway my list for now isLef... | |
| Jeff Rowland 302 or Conrad Johnson Premier 350 Cytocycle. Thanks for this, do the 302's have any isues in running out of steam driving low impedance speakers loud?. My room is reasonable big being 26 by 24.cheers | |
| What Difference between Pass X150.5 and X250.5? Eril, If you live in NZ, I would give Paul a call at PQ imports and see if you can have a listen to a VTL pre-amp if you are not against tube pre's. | |
| Jeff Rowland 302 or Conrad Johnson Premier 350 Cytocycle. You said you have heard both the 501's and 302's. Do both possess the ability to drive low impedances in the bass ( ie 3ohms) and play effortless loud. ie for my Vienna Mahlers which are bitches to drive.Does the 501 have the refinement... | |
| New Air Suspension Footers for VPI TNT Gladstone, I also own a HRX, so interested to see that in your system they add dynamics and tigher bass. have you noticed any downsides compared to the air bladders?What happens with the holes on top of the 4 towers after you fit the balls in??. I... | |
| Anyone own/auditioned new Genesis G6.1's ? I was wondering if anyone had had a listen to this speaker, it seems like a perfect candidate for a nice powerful tube amp.Does it play music or just HT??. | |
| New Von Schweikert Models Are the new 4 snr's made in China??If so why are they so expensive, besides great profit margin? | |
| Parasound haloJC 1 VS McIntosh M-501's When I heard both in my system the MAC sounded quite a bit better. You should have a listen to the MBL amp thou as it would be made to drive your MBL speakers.cheers | |
| PS Audio "Gain Cell" Amps & Preamps? The Australia PS audio distributor hasd one of the pre's. His comment was it sounded OK for the price but his Herron line stage was a lot better.In other words, no big deal despite PS's hype. | |
| Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10 I am picking the Pass X350.5 up tommorrow and will have it over the weekend.I will give an update after that | |
| Warm Tubes I owned cj prem 16 and prem 8a's and Larry1 is correct. After 10-15 minutes the tubes sound fine. Leave them on all day and you will be replacing tubes very quickly | |
| VPI Ring Clamp I believe the outer clamp is a good thing and the new version with the felt on the inside is easier to take off and on. It does sound a little more focused and is more natural in the treble. With the outer ring under the LP the sound is a liottle ... | |
| Finish Quality of Von Schweikert VR4jr's What do you expect for something that costs all up including the cheap labor about 300 bucks + shipping. Rest is profit. They should be a lot cheaper.How is the VR4jr better value than say the gallo ref which is substationally cheaper.BTW, I used ... | |
| Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10 The sorry facts regarding the JC-1 is that they don't sound good unless you have 1200 - 1400 hours of play time on them. I heard a pair last year and frankly was underwelmed to say the least. They had a total of about 200 hours.I would hope they s... | |
| New Air Suspension Footers for VPI TNT With these new balls. How do you balance the table considering the additional weight where the arm sits?. That has significantly more weight the the other 3 legs.With the air bladders you pump up the bladder to a higher air pressure to balance it.... |
