Verity Audio speakers
I also owned the P/E's for 6-7 years. I think Marty's observations are spot on. It's interesting that someone mentioned running Art Jota's on Fidelio's. I tried them on Parsifal's, and it was a no go. Not even close to enough power. I owned two am... 
Any love for the Rogue Ares
Thanks Andyprice44- Good to know you have plenty of gain with your .3mv cartridge. Do you think the Ares leans toward the slightly warm side, or more neutral. 
Best integrated amp ? Great match for AZ Adagio?
Have also heard the Tri is a nice match. I compared the Tri Trv-35 withe the LM 211 IA. I chose the LM, but could have easily lived with either. The Tri had a touch more of that classic tube sound. I found the LM to be a tad more neutral.I would s... 
Any Mark Knopfler Fans Out There?
I am definitely a fan of Dire Straits. I like Shangri-La alot, but most often reach for DS: Love over Gold. I love LOG, sounds great on vinyl. It's refreshing to have bands like this who cared about sound quality. I will have to check out Making M... 
DeVore Orangutan O/96
Ciro71- I have mine in a 23 ft X 12ft room. They are on the SHORT wall.They are about 2.5 ft from the side wall, and thus 7ft apart.They are pulled out 4.5-5.0 ft from the rear wall behind them. Shoot your dealer or John an e-mail. John is busy, b... 
Phono Pre Amp Recommendation
Kgturner- Could you tell me if the Chinook has ample gain for your low output DV20X. Thanks in advance ! 
Conrad Johnson, TE A2
Which CJ pre/amp do you run. Do you want SS or Tubes for your phono stage. What is your general price range. 
Rega or ClearAudio Turntable
Sbrownnw- Just curious, what review are you speaking about. In the recent S-Phile review of the Traveler, S. Mejias appears to much prefer the Traveler over Rega. However, the comparison was mostly done against a P3-24. Toward the end of the revie... 
Doors Live at Hollywood Bowl - 2012 Rhino 180g 2LP
I am a huge doors fan, but haven't really connected with either live albums I have. They are Live in NY(Felt Forum) and Absolutely Live. I will have to give Felt Forum another listen, but it didn't strike me as anything special.I listen to The Doo... 
Rega or ClearAudio Turntable
Gotcha, saw the Gyro SE on your system page, but wasn't sure if it was current. I thought based on your comments, that you may now have a vintage table. Thanks for clarifying. I recently heard an RP6, and found it to be quite good. I have heard bo... 
Rega or ClearAudio Turntable
When i decided to start from Rega P3, it lasted just 3 months after I figured that any descent vintage 80's table can humiliate even more pricey modern Rega models.***May I ask the conclusion of the story ? Thanks ! 
Rate your QRP Doors 45's
Albert- Agree 100% about Steve being one of the best. I still have, and enjoy, many LP's that he did. I think in some systems, the DCC Doors tonal balance may be a desirable one. He also MAY have not had the original masters to work with, which I ... 
Rate your QRP Doors 45's
Wow Albert- you guys went to town. Thanks for sharing that. I have what I believe is a first press (Red label) Morrison Hotel. This pressing sounds great to me, which is why I passed on the QRP. The DCC's IMO were outclassed by both QRP, and the f... 
NEW Rega RP6 - Anyone own one yet?
Thanks Mr m : Did you happen to compare any other cartridges to the Boheme? 
12' x 14' room; $10k budget for speakers; help
I would take Clio09's suggestion, and listen the the AN's. I would also hit Command AV, which I believe is in the DC area. There, you can hear the DeVore 0/96's. I am a happy owner of the 0/96's, but I would listen to both. Art Dudley compares the...
