| Upgrading a Scout II, Best bang for the buck?? I added the 300 rpm motor to my Scout and it was a great improvement for not much money. I think the Scout II still comes with the 600 rmp motor. | |
| Judy Collins Farewell To Tarwathie was from her 1970 Whales and Nightingales album - still best for me on the original vinyl. The waves were not as realistic on the CD and the ending was truncated - but you need to be an addict to notice the differences. I'll ... | |
| Judy Collins She did Suzanne on her 1966 album In My Life. That was the real introduction of Leonard Cohen to a wide audience. She told the story of first meeting him. He said he could not sing and he was not sure if this was really a song and starting singing... | |
| Bah Humbug-Bad Christmas Music Much of the standard radio is aweful. But, go back to the classics. Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Bing Crosby, then throw in some of the major orchestras like the Boston Pops, add artists like James Taylor, Judy Collins and a little Charlie Brown and... | |
| B&W 705 or Sonus Faber Concerto / Concertino Are you talking about Domus Concertino/Concreto or the older Home/Concert series? Domus is quite different from the earlier models and I prefer the older models. The old ones are both monitors, whereas the Domus Concerto is a small floorstander. I... | |
| 8 ohm speaker that sounds like sonus faber Do you already have a 70 watt tube amp that you want to continue to use? If so, what is it? If not, if you like the Cremona M, why not look for an appropriate tube amp for them? It is my understanding that the new Cremona are a lot easier to drive... | |
| 8 ohm speaker that sounds like sonus faber We need more information. What price range? What type of music? I am using a Pathos Classic One (integrated 70 watts with tube pre) on SF Conterto and the sound is really intoxicating. If you want to drive Stradivari, that is a different story. Bu... | |
| Pre/Pro in Computer Setup You might consider the Cary Cinema 11a. It is an audio only pre/pro that just passes through the video. It decodes all the new BR audio formats, has room setup options and the HDMI will have an upgrade to 1.4. I have not listened to it, but it is ... | |
| Transparent cables MM and MM2 I did some comparisons between Super and Ultra for MM1 cables. I found that mixing cables worked fine. I ended up with Ultra for speakers and pre to amp interconnects and Super for the source to pre-amp interconnects. It seemed like as long as I h... | |
| Upgrade dilemma-need advise If you love the Cremona auditors, don't assume the Domus will sound similar. There is a big difference, especially between the original Cremona auditors and the Domus line. I would strongly recommend that you listen to the Domus before going for t... | |
| Sonus Faber - Stradivari - Amp and Pre I like my Classe and Levinson with the Cremona very much. I am willing to change, but probably not to double the price, at least not at this time. I realize that is not optimal, but sometimes you need to move in steps. The Levinson certainly has t... | |
| Need feedback on Sonus Faber Cremona M 's I have not been able to listen to the Cremona and the Cremona M in the same setting. The closest I came was comparing the original Cremona and the Cremona Auditor M side by side. Both were driven by Levinson (32 and 432 if I remember correctly.) T... | |
| One Less Bose Wave Radio in the World For speakers, used Totem Arros are also an option if you want some small floorstanders. They are small but sound great. | |
| One Less Bose Wave Radio in the World Wadia 170 ($379 new) and NAD L54 Receiver ($699 list, sale price $499 or $369 refurbished). The NAD is a 2 channel receiver (50 watts per channel) with FM/AM tuner, has S/PDIF input and contains a DVD/CD player. This gives the option for DVD or TV... | |
| Need feedback on Sonus Faber Cremona M 's Given the music you listen to (very similar to what I listen to), I think Sonus Faber is a great match. As with any speaker line, there are always some who like the original and some like the new version. That is definitely true with the original ... |
