| VTL, CTC, Lamm, ARC, EAR, Halcro, Mark Levison David,One last minor pint of clarification. Your ears and preferences will be the final judge. BUT, I should point out that I had your same preconceived notion of the the C-J preamps as "tubey." When I got the ART-II in for audition I fully expect... | |
| Best $300 or less Tube Headphone Amp Oregon3,You have some good suggestions and I am partial to tubes myself. However, depending on just how loud you listen, the MG Head may, and I only mean "may" not be quite enough power for you. I had one and enjoyed it and it is very good bang fo... | |
| Kharma Midi vs. Sonus Faber Stradivari Amati If you had the Strads in your system and loved what they do, if it were me, I'd go with them as they are a proven commodity. As a Kharma owner, (the big Exquisites 1 D.E-ds - not the Midis), I obviously like my Kharmas. However, I have heard the S... | |
| VTL, CTC, Lamm, ARC, EAR, Halcro, Mark Levison David, I own Lamm amps and Kharma Exquisite 1D-E.ds. Although the Lamm preamp is a good choice, completely by accident, I tried a Conrad Johnson ART-II and loved it. I do have very good CCa NOS tubes in it though.Also, Bill Parish at GTT Audio who... | |
| Kharma Midi Exquisite vs MBL101E Call Bill Parish at GTT Audio, he carries both lines. I own Kharma Exquisite 1 D/e.d's and if it were ME, I'd go for the Kharma 3.2 and the sub and save a ton of $$$ and get close to the same sound. | |
| Cartridge for SME IV.V I have an SME 30 and the SME IV.vi arm with the Dynavector XV-1s that bettered a van den Hul Colibri and a Clearaudio Insider Reference by a significant margin IMHO. But, as always, this is a personal preference thing so YMMV | |
| DarTZeel Preamp Although as I stated previously, I am done with my involvement in this thread, I DID promise Hooper (Andy) during our chat the other night that I would post to confirm that he and I discussed our issues in this gentleman's hobby in a gentlemanly m... | |
| DarTZeel Preamp Andy, I am sorry if this upsets you, but can you understand that since YOU posted the language below almost SIX months ago, and here in this post you call Jeff's review "utterly ridiculous" because the darTzeel can't drive Wilsons, that your origi... | |
| DarTZeel Preamp Hooper, I have one problem with your post. Try to let go of your allegiance to Tinn and take an unbiased look at my posts. NEVER have I said YOU caused it to get ugly. In fact I said JUST the opposite - that you and I were civil and had resolved t... | |
| DarTZeel Preamp Just when it appears Mr. Tinn that your posts cannot get any more illogical - you outdo yourself yet again.First, lets look at the FACTS about this thread:1. The ORIGINAL poster, Ubglub, asked a specific question about experiences with the DarZeel... | |
| DarTZeel Preamp Jafox, I HATE to see you wallow in a state of contentedness so I will take the Aesthetix and CAT stuff off yer hands!! Oh how you must be suffering with no axes to grind or up-graditis fever!! But hey! I am an altruistic guy so I will take yer stu... | |
| DarTZeel Preamp JUST to clarify and for all you Paul Harvey fans out there - HERE is the REST of the story:The following quotes are taken DIRECTLY from the DartZeel amplifier's Owner's Manual:Page 8 of the NHB-108's Owner's Manual states: "The darTZeel NHB-108 mo... | |
| DarTZeel Preamp Andy, NONE of this has been to disparage you. You, like me, just want to listen to good music. As I said, I did NOT say you had no credibility, just that if we use JTinn's logic, you and Mike would not be credible either due to your "strong ties."... | |
| DarTZeel Preamp Mike, I did not mean YOU did the lambasting. Basically, since you agree with Jtinn and are acting as his more civilized mouthpiece (Jtinn stated above that you said what he meant in a nicer way), I lumped the two of you together. | |
| DarTZeel Preamp Dlwask,Thanks for the info. This has been my exact point throughout this thread. WHY should you have to be afraid of being bashed in this forum for stating your "opinion?"You shared some insight and info and we are richer for it. MY problem is tha... |
