| i hate to ask but I Really Need Help Sean:My compliments - that is as thorough and helpful a post as I have seen in my 3 plus years on Audiogon. Truly, it is input and helpfulness such as this that will foster a true appreciation for a truly "under-appreciated" hobby/pastime such as ... | |
| How many satisfied AudioMeca Mephisto 2x owners I have owned a IIx transport for almost a year now. Apart from the fact that it does not like static electricity (it's little electronic brain gets screwed up and needs to be turned off for a minute or so) I love it! Very realistic and detailed pr... | |
| Blue Circle bc24 vs Aleph 3 You win either way, but to my taste the Blue Circle BC24 is more transparent and detailed, with a little better bottom. It's just a killer amp for the money. Same deal with the preamps, and yes the BC21.1 is a perfect mate for the BC24. | |
| Blue Circle BC-28 versus other 100 wpc tube amps? Haven't heard that particular BAT, but have heard the ARC. Based on previous experience with other BAT stuff I think you would find the Blue Circle to be more neutral and transparent, with more (and better articulated) bottom end. I would buy the ... | |
| Stupid question of the day: Should I leave Amp on? Joel:In my experience it is more important to leave the DAC on than the transport. The DAC takes days to get going - mine takes ten days to sound right! I'm serious. My transport is usually good after a couple of hours. With a one box player I wou... | |
| Stupid question of the day: Should I leave Amp on? Not a stupid question at all - we're all here to learn. My gear stays on unless I am away from home for an extended period, or there is a thunderstorm - in either case it gets turned off and unplugged. I agree with Sean; most of the equipment I ha... | |
| Are Sub-woofers really for music? Differs from person to person, and system to system, but unless you are willing to step up to the plate big time for a good sub, cross over, and extra amp, my opinion is that you are almost always better off with a better set of speakers, than wit... | |
| Comments on Blue Circle Tube Preamps I've gone right up the line from the BC21 to the AG8000. Literally, I have either owned or test driven everything in between. These preamps cannot be bested by anything at their given price point. BC preamps are just slightly to the warm side of n... | |
| Suspended Basis vs Nonsuspended Teres Having spoken at length with AJ, I cannot accept some of the remarks you ascribe to him. He is NOT a trasher of other peoples equipment! He is very enthusiastic about his product, and rightly so - it's extremely well made and incorporates producti... | |
| Affordable musically fast subwoofer Vandersteen 2W or 2Wq. An outstanding bargain - three 8" woofers, 300 watts; very musical and unobtrusive. | |
| Any WARM, MUSICAL speakers out there? I think you should try to hear some Martin Logan Prodigys, or Verity Audio Parsifals. | |
| OK folks, what the best pre for under 10,000? I'd check out a Blue Circle BC3000 mk II. Extremely neutral and musical. | |
| Martin Logan SL3 vs Ascents Sorry Ed, I respectfully disagree! The SL3s are certainly not better in terms of performance - the Ascents better them in just about every way, especially in the low mids and downwards.I've got nothing against SL3s - you're correct in that they ca... | |
| Do you own the last amp you'll ever buy? Absolutely!!!!! For now anyways...... | |
| Blue Circle BC 21.1 vs. Cary SLP 308 Well, a home theatre bypass loop is a relatively inexpensive upgrade on the BC21.1, I know a couple of people that have had it done and it works very well. |
