| Devore or Harbeths to replace my ESL63s? It's certainly personal preference, but just one point on the DeVores. It seems to me the gibbon/Silverback are often bunched in the same conversation as Orangutan's. IMHO, you have to approach the two series as a different thing. I have heard the... | |
| Altec Lansing Model 19 I know Shindo mates well with the Valencia 846A, which is the 16 ohm version. I can't speak for 19's. I do know someone who had 19's and Shindo, but I'm not sure if it was at the same time. | |
| Altec Lansing Model 19 Betcha a Shindo Montrachet would sound great with the 19's. I always enjoyed the sound of that amp, the few times I have heard it. | |
| amphion one18 vs decapo vs AN-J vs salk continuum Gotcha! Enjoy the new speakers (-: | |
| amphion one18 vs decapo vs AN-J vs salk continuum Congratulations on the Amphion, I am hoping to hear them. How did you feed the AN/J's, when you had them? | |
| 3k to spend... I have no doubt what you're saying is true, but even e-bay lists the sellers general location. He must thrive on the business he has, so again, all the power to him. It's personal preference, and mine is to deal with someone in a more informal man... | |
| 3k to spend... "As for reaching Dave, I've found him to be extremely responsive to email and willing to discuss things with you once an initial outreach is made....if that's your primary concern, I wouldn't be too worried. I can assure you, having been to his ho... | |
| 3k to spend... Vinyl Nirvana has a nice website. I can forgive no phone # (I think), but he doesn't even list an address. Thanks for the link, very interesting!I think the suggestions for the Simplex are right on. It's just more hands on than VPI. In that I mean... | |
| Lyra Delos vs EMT TSD 15 "In the past I've owned mostly Dynavector cartridges and I really like the Dynavector sound but when I ordered my Brinkmann Bardo turntable, I was told that the EMT TSD15 SFL would be an excellent match for this turntable and that it's an amazing ... | |
| Right time to pull the trigger. Black Friday. Their price on Ortofon for instance, seem to be consistent with my Music Direct Catalog. As far as 10% over factory invoice, I'm going to say too good to be true. I can't see them taking a $100 profit on a $1000 item. Not that they wouldn't do it,... | |
| Phono Preamp and Cartridge selection If you can get a Cadenza black for $250 more than a 2M Black, RUN and buy it asap! | |
| from w/w CARPET to WOOD floors It's all about the room, and then the equipment. Music comes last! Seriously though, I want to gradually eliminate absorption. I already have a couple of oriental type area rugs. So if i pull the wall to wall, I can replenish absorption if necessary. | |
| from w/w CARPET to WOOD floors Wolf: Yes- Rigatoni for the rear wall, but I find mixing in some stuffed rigatoni for first reflection is helpful for it's diffusion properties. | |
| from w/w CARPET to WOOD floors Another quick detail. All windows are covered with curtains, but some also have thin ply with egg crate foam stuff glued to it. This is true with the rear windows seen in my photo.Those absorption panels you see kitty cornered are still there. The... | |
| from w/w CARPET to WOOD floors I removed four flat 2' X 4' absorption panels yesterday, and liked the results. The sound opened up a bit, and had more emotion. SOME recordings were slightly dry sounding with the panels in place. What I hope to accomplish is more natural sound, ... |
