| ACI Sapphire II: review **Aperiodic: Refers to a type of bass-cabinet loading. An aperiodic enclosure type usually features a very restrictive, (damped), port. The purpose of this restrictive port is not to extend bass response, but lower the Q of the system and reduce t... | |
| Info on LFD Mistral...? You are probably right Trelja...however i also "cherish" the "microdinamics" of the ss amp's. Is Jadis detailed enough? I will find out soon! I had friend of mine locating "dealer" in LA area, so when i visit him, i'll find out! Thanks! | |
| Info on LFD Mistral...? I heard about them, somebody told me about...? i sure will check on E-bay! I find most of my music there! And if you are into "vinyl" that's place to go! Thanks Sluggo! | |
| Best MC Cartridge $300.00 or less Mr.Felix! I also recommended the "PBS"! However, PBS maybe not better than Dnavector, and maybe IS? Also,on t 60' arm the headshell holes aren't long enough to allow proper overhang adjustment on some cartridges: like Shure V 15 you also recommend... | |
| Info on LFD Mistral...? Thanks Trelja! I will probably stick with my Linn till i am able to audition other amps, including Jadis! I listen mostly acoustic instruments, classical and world (stange) music like Tuvan Throat singers and such...! I just cannot stand "rock" "p... | |
| Aronov Amplifiers - Opinions? Aronov..sounds too "rooshian" for "westerners"! Perhaps they are not taken very seriously? Bias, does exist even in "Audio" world. Remember "Stereophile" review of "infamous" KR-6000(??) amps? They were "estatic" about the sound:"...finest, finest... | |
| Info on LFD Mistral...? Thanks Trelja! Also, i cannot remember what speakers you have with Jadis...? I have ACI Sapphire II, and i believe that they can sound, as good as, the amps they are pushing them! One day i will try Jadis! | |
| Klipschhorns or Belle's with SET amp's? Good one Bob...i remember listening Belle's back in 87, i was blown away...i think they were hooked to NAD amps...but i think they would be good choice with some Cary SET amps..or Bel Cantos it would worth trying! Also i don't believe there is man... | |
| Best MC Cartridge $300.00 or less If low-output try Ortofon MC-25FL or Audio-Technica OC-9 (exeptional) if High-output Sumiko "blue point special" | |
| What's most important? My idea was that, AFTER the fact, we know (assume) which sistem will be suited for our "environment" that THAN, we build our sistem around the PRE-amp, and not the speakers! Regards! P>S> refer to R. Harley's book, and new "THE INNER Ear" wh... | |
| What's most important? Robert...i understand your point! However, we have to first follow some logic here! Before we buy furniture, a rug, HI-FI! We have to have a "space", and that is dedicated, or not, room! Are all rooms built with four walls, ceiling and floor? Yes ... | |
| What's most important? I would have to go with: 1. Pre-amp (or integrated amp, heart's and guts in one unit) 2. Source-Loudspeakers and 3. Amp (separates). On room acoustics, i would have to agree, it is the most important "tweak". And "tweak" no matter how important, w... | |
| Important Qualities Other than Sound Yo are right! The best "sum of parts", craftsmenship, and great customer service, wont guarantee good sound! my determing factor was PRICE! But i think, i will (would) still choose the BEST sounding (what i would believe would be better sounding) ... | |
| What price hi-fi? Every expensive purchase will cause some "buyers guilt", especially if you hear the "nagging", from the spouse or living-in girlfriend. "I can't believe you spent 1200, for CD player, what was wrong with your last CD player...Why do you need so ma... | |
| Best Speaker Wire & Tube Pre for Aleph 3 I would suggest the pre-amp with great "resolution". And that is Audible illusions Modulus 3A! Your amp, absolutely deserve as good as pre-amp you can get! You wont regret! Regards! |
