| I need advice on Lowthers The only horns I have ever heard were Klipsch. The conditions were not very good and I did not like what I heard. They sounded like....well, horns, loud horns.But I find Hedlund Horns to be one of the most attractive speakers I have ever seen. I h... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Just got an email from Mick. He said my Supratek should be done within a month, but no guarantees. He is just taking them one at a time in his order book.That's okay with me. I think Mick is double and triple checking things to eliminate any probl... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century I am waiting on my Chardonnay. I ordered it the middle of February. Mick said 8 to 10 weeks at that time. It has been 10 weeks so I hope it is not too much longer. I will report as soon as I have a chance to give it an initial listen. | |
| Virtual Dynamics Recall Which component would you retrofit if you had only one VD Power 2 cryoed and had to remove (de-solder) the old cords and install IEC plugs to attach the VD pc:CDPpreamp1st Question:If I realize a significant difference with the one cord, I will pu... | |
| Shoot-out I would like to see - Berning ZH270 vs. I would automatically go with the Atma-sphere M-60's, but I suspect they are going to be "space heaters". Correct?The heat issue is what attracts me to take a look at the Berning. My current amp puts out a lot of heat and I assume the Atma-spheres... | |
| Virtual Dynamics Recall How much do cryoed Power 2's cost? | |
| Coolest looking speaker ever ? Hedlund Horns. | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 NOS, NOS, NOS tubes!I haven't had the luxury of hearing either amp, but after reading this thread I would strongly consider a Berning. I had been considering the Atma-sphere M-60's, but the thought of the Berning with considerably fewer tubes, ver... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Timchen,Don't be such a cynic. How do you trust anyone that posts here? And you probably can't audition 75% of all of the equipment that is reviewed here anyway. Some of it is way to expensive to audition, much of it is probably unavailable in you... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century When I spoke to Mick about the price of the Suprateks, he said the exchange rate is 2 to 1 for the American dollar. So double the price if the pre amp is made in the U.S. and then add another 50% if it was retailed in audio stores.In other words, ... | |
| How do Newforms sound? My experience with the 645's is the exact opposite of Travis'. Not having heard his Newforms in his room with his associated equipment, I can't disagree with what he heard.However, in my room, with my equipment, the 645's are simply phenomenal. Th... | |
| How do Newforms sound? My first response, "this post is stupid", was not directed at Will's first post. It was directed at Will's second post."I'm not much given to relying on opinions from owners' groups--they have a vested interest in liking what they bought."Yes, own... | |
| How do Newforms sound? What a stupid post:"I'm not much given to relying on opinions from owners' groups--they have a vested interest in liking what they bought."I own 645's and my experience is just the opposite of Travis'.They are one of the best speakers I have ever ... | |
| Speaker recommendations for 2,500 or less? Do yourself a favor. Audition Newform 645's. You will have to order them from the factory ($2300), but they have a 30 day return policy. I auditioned many, many speakers trying to make a decision and I read great things online about the 645's. I w... |
