| CJ GAT Preamp VS ART 3 which one is the best? Thanks Sinchan007, that helps. I have a call in to Lew to discuss this as well but it really does put him in a difficult position to pit one SOTA design against another. While I do like simplicity, I have to wonder if CJ went back to the one chass... | |
| CJ GAT Preamp VS ART 3 which one is the best? I believe it is $20,000 | |
| CJ GAT Preamp VS ART 3 which one is the best? Just out of curiosity, if you don't mind me asking, who told you the GAT was better than the ART 3? With so few of either preamp in service, it would seem to me to be very rare for someone other than a person at C-J to have had the ability to hear... | |
| Should I buy a VDH Colibri or Black Beauty? Lewm,It's hard at times to post on A-Gon and be thorough yet brief or concise enough to keep a reader involved. I should have been more specific and mentioned that the sibilance problem (which both Raul and Rudy have addressed) was separate and di... | |
| Should I buy a VDH Colibri or Black Beauty? Lewm, here's hoping you have great luck with your Colibri. I agree that my tonearm's effective mass may have contributed to the sibilance but was not the root cause. I tried adjusting everything with it, VTF, VTA, antiskate, damping, loading, you ... | |
| Best Cd Player under $4000? Ditto to a tee what Cincy-Bob said. The AMR is, IMHO, the best sounding player under $20,000. Actually, I haven't heard anything above $20,000 that betters it either (but I haven't heard the top of the line Zanden). | |
| Should I buy a VDH Colibri or Black Beauty? Lutenist and Lewm,Lewm, I too am a bit disappointed when someone doesn't respond to the original poster's actual question and certainly that wasn't my intention. Let me explain a few things further and maybe this will help Lutenist.First, I am tha... | |
| Should I buy a VDH Colibri or Black Beauty? From my experiences (I've owned or used 5 vDh cartridges - a Grasshopper, a Black Beauty and 3 Colibris), I can tell you Audiofeil is right on the money. My Grasshopper and Black Beauty were great (it may be that I had them back in 2001-2003 when ... | |
| Dynavector XV-1S impressions? IMHO, Raul is right on the money as far as the 47k loading is concerned. In my experience (and those of many other owners of this cartridge I know), the XV-1s needs to be loaded between 100-200 ohms to sound its best. | |
| One or two JL subs? Docrobbi,I have two JL 112s and was going to go with two 113s. I was lucky enough to get some good first hand advice from one of the designers at JL Audio and a long time recording engineer (who deals and uses the JL subs) and they actually talked... | |
| Music and politics Ah yes Onhhwy61, you really are something. You have NO idea who you are talking to or what you are saying. You can try that sensationalist, race-bating crap all you want with someone else but it isn't gonna fly with me. I lived, ate, cried and bre... | |
| Music and politics How and the hell did you last few posters devolve into thinking we want censorship? Unbelievable how off base some of you get. Last I checked, the government wasn't telling me what CDs to buy, who to listen to or who's concerts to attend. Serves m... | |
| Music and politics Tvad, I respect your opinion and usually agree with most of what you have posted here on Agon. I STAUNCHLY defend our First Amendment rights, no problem with that. But the issue I see here is difference between artists playing their ususal reperto... | |
| Music and politics I am no politcially correct person, but I agree with both sides a bit. I took a relative to a Barbara Streisand concert in 1994 (before she was way over the top politically - or so I thought) at a price of $300 a ticket. Then, in the middle of the... | |
| Some questions about Kharma Exquisite Reference 1D-e means that it is the "E" version with a diamond tweeter. I had the Exquisite Reference with the dimaond tweeter in a 14' x 18' x 8' room and it was fine since the room was heavily treated. I ran them with Lamm M1.2 Refs. Tenor 300 Hybrids and... |
