| Preamp Deal of the Century Mick, from what you've said here and in the e-mail that you sent me, I understand how you feel. You need a change of pace but I suspect you'll be back when the market is more favorable (stronger dollar etc). Hopefully now you'll have a slower pace... | |
| Amplifiers for Talon Hawk monitors I have the Firebirds. Same as the Hawk but with an 11 inch wolfer. Right now I'm using the Lamm 1.2 Ref. mono's. An excellent combo. I also own a Gryphon Encore which is also excellent with the birds. I used to own the parasound JC 1's and they to... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Got an e-mail today from Mick after I inquired about a DUAL. He said he is no longer doing Supratek but will continue to support his current customers. I haven't been on Audiogon much lately because I've been so busy. Is this something new or has ... | |
| The Anatomy of the Acapella Violon - shocking find Amfibius. I was thinking that I would loan you my Gryphon Encore if you were in southern calif. but I see you're in Australia. As Rose-Ann Rosana Dana used to say, "never mind". Seriously, why don't you try a high power amp before you start choppi... | |
| The CD you most listened to back in 2007 ? I too need new music. I just printed this thread so I'll be checking some of these out. Hey Frank, how you doing? | |
| Have you heard the new VS VR4 Anniversary Edition Sorry for the misinformation on the Audiospace price. Your right, I didn't pay much attention to the price sign at the show. Someone else told me $4700.00 later. I do know that Albert was VERY impressed with the APL unit. | |
| Have you heard the new VS VR4 Anniversary Edition Hi M-mibby. I was told the Audiospace is $4700.00. The APL hybrid integrated is supposed to be $5000.00. I believe it uses the ecc99 tubes and has 85 or 90 wpc and is able to drive difficult loads. I too thought the sound in that room was good wit... | |
| Have you heard the new VS VR4 Anniversary Edition Those of you at the show probably know that the APL player was being used in that room. On Thursday afternoon about 3:30 just before the end of the event, an APL prototype tube hybrid was put in the system in place of the Audio Space. I was on the... | |
| Confusion re Esoteric X-01 Limited and X-01D2 Digital is always moving forward with better dac's/other components, enginering etc. I haven't really compared the new units to the older one's but I'm sure they sound better. However I would like to note that the new versions of the VRDS transpor... | |
| APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player Stereotaipei. No I didn't use the isotek disc. I use different types of music and rotate. Also I won't run it for more than 12 hours max, then let it go cold before running again.Frank | |
| APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player Earflappin, my 3.0 also sounded great out of the box but continued to improve a very little at a time. At about 230-240 hours (redbook) it seemed to bloom a little more noticably and then seems pretty set at 260 hours. I then switched to sacd afte... | |
| True dual mono 2 ch amps? Tboooe. I own a Gryphon Encore. True dual mono. Takes two power cords. 500wpc into 8ohm and 1000wpc into 4ohm. Weighs 150lbs. First 30 watts class A then goes a/b. Build quality is at the top and one of the best amps that I have owned. I'm not cur... | |
| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner Marty. Do you have 500 hours on the PCM circuit yet? If not, I'd suggest waiting for your final judgement until you do. Bass should be in by about 350 hours but that last bit of top end clarity after 500. Also my EMM seperates (SE) seem to be sens... | |
| Any Comparisons between VTL 7.5 & ARC Ref 3 Billbench. You must have the 2.5. Did or are you going to upgrade to the "T"?Frank | |
| tube question for ARC Ref 3 users Mkilpi. I've been wondering the same thing. Hopefully you'll get some response. Also would like to know if the NOS 6H30's make a difference.Frank |
