| What time do you wear? Rolex SS/Gold Datejust for almot 25 years but am beginning to think that it might be time for a change to a PP. | |
| goldmund reference . which would be the best arm Whatever arm you choose, strongly suggest that you modify the acrylic mounting board so that the new arm can be mounted directly on that. This will ensure proper coupling and energy transfer. Suggest that you may want to contact Detlof who has sig... | |
| Wilson or Kharma Just a thought, maybe the speaker is not the problem. Suggest that you contact martin Logan and ask them about their experience using the Parasound JC-1's to drive their Statement speakers. Apparently, the JC-1's replaced a pair of very large Krel... | |
| Cables for Tenor/Kharma/Capitole MKI I have real doubts with respect to whether all Tenor/Kharma owners use the Elrod/Valhalla combination. This is not intended as a critcism of either product. Cable choice tends to be a very personal decision dictated in large part by the preference... | |
| EMM Labs DAC6 Interestingly enough Norm is the only person that I am aware of that has has all the major CD/SACD contenders in his system at one time or another, most recently the Accustic Arts Drive 1, the Lindemann d680 and the Meitner. He has also tried many... | |
| amp & preamp for acapella violon I own a pair of the Acapella Campanile Highs and have used a number of amplifiers with them, including the EL34 based Wolcott mono's @ 225 watts and more recently the Parasound JC-1's. The SEAS woofers require an extended break in period. Until th... | |
| Amp Choice for Acapella Campaniles While I understand that the right tube amplifier has many things to offer on these speakers, I must question Brian's experience, at least with respect to the Campanile High's which are a somewhat different animal from the Violons. The Campaniles e... | |
| Analog system I think that Jtinn is right on the money except would suggest that you substitute a Lyra Titan for the Colibri. | |
| WADIA / dCS / AA Capitole - the ultimate CD ??? . Given recent experiences with the Lindemann and its sensitivity to power cords and isolation (both electrical and mechanical), I have real qualms with respect to comparisons of top notch units unless the comparisons are done in the same system ove... | |
| Best high current SS Mono amps Would suggest that you audition the Parasound JC-1's. The only downside is that they require a very extended break-in. I have also owned the Wolcotts with all NOS tubes including hand picked Mullard EL34's and can tell you that in comparison to th... | |
| Whats the best used tuner for under 1000 I hate to say this but the Magnum Dynalab tuners are over priced and do not perform at the level of a number of vintage tuners. In particular, they are lacking in dimensionality. Suggest one of the better "older" Japanese tuners. I have had excell... | |
| Bryston 7B SST vs. Parasound Halo JC 1 shootout... Strangely enough I find the appearance of the JC-1's both attractive and sophisticated in a European vein. The attention to detail and styling is reminiscent of Goldmund or Lindemann. I guess that I failed to realize that "high end" products were ... | |
| DCS Verdi Elgar Purcell VS. Audio Aero Capitole To put things into perspective, I purchased the Lindemann in early November 2002, and made a conscious decision to avoid any tweaking until the unit had broken in completely. About the time the unit should have broken in, Christmas and CES interve... | |
| DCS Verdi Elgar Purcell VS. Audio Aero Capitole The Lindemann continues to provide a fertile ground for experimentation, particularly with respect to mechanical isolation which seems to have a dramatic effect on sonics. A few characteristics remain constant. The unit has a liquidity in the midr... | |
| DCS Verdi Elgar Purcell VS. Audio Aero Capitole Although i have heard the DCS gear in Norm Luttbeg's systems on repeated occasions, I have not heard it in my system. i do know that Norm has since been through the Audio Note 4 SE and the Zanden as well as the Sony and Marantz SACD players, final... |
