Sonic Frontier Line 3 SE
Hi Lew4; its early, but I'm interested in this too-- also the Line 2 SE. I just auditioned the Valvos in my Line 2 and did not like them (they're in the SEs), while they are more soft, warm, and tubey, they lacked coherence in my system with a som... 
Finally taking the leap to Monoblocks
Hi Argent; I'm in the process of going to McCormack DNA-2 bi-amps. I could have them converted to monos but those buggers put out an incredible 1200 wpc with the channels bridged.BUT, both the DNA-0.5 and DNA-1's can be converted to monos by SMc A... 
Levinson upgrades vs factory original
Hi 1439bhr; I purchased an ML 360S that had been upgraded from a 36S. Its been nearly a year and I have no regrets. The only thing different between the two is that the upgrade port is inside the chassis rather than on the back as on a factory 360... 
I don,t Understand ????
.......that should be 'you guys', not gus-- geez. 
I don,t Understand ????
First off, I've been a happy and loyal customer of Syn. Res. for 4-5 years. I use their mid-priced ICs, cables, and power cords throughout my system with excellent results. In my above posts I was a little hard on what I consider to be an excellen... 
I don,t Understand ????
Evo845; I'm glad you started this thread too. And I agree that $1000. still seems a HUGE amount just to cut a cable in half and terminate, but OTOH they did drop the price $1600.-- which is a big improvement. Still, I wouldn't blame you if you dec... 
I don,t Understand ????
Evo845; I've run into a similar situation with Syn. Res., and once we buy into their program, they've got us by the cajones. I just asked them to make me a set of ICs with a "Y" on the amp end-- for biamping-- and I would even supply the ICs. But ... 
Musicality" in a system? What IS that ?
Detlof; your 4/7 post above really lays it on the line personally, it's hard to do that as gracefully as you have, thanks. Craig 
Phillips says CDR s infiror to pressed
Ramstl; Haven't had time to visit this site yet, but will. Thanks. Craig 
resource for cdr questions
I just spent an hour or so on this web site Ramstl recommends for CD-R info. It's huge with an incredible amount of info. But for music lovers, I've concluded from info. gleaned from this website, that the blue/green music CD-Rs that are so common... 
Speaker wire is it science or psychology
702; I use Shell gas too, small world-- $1.47 per gal. It's a way to save money to upgrade my amps! Thanks. Craig 
Room too small - any suggestions
Hi Pops; I went through that several years ago, 12 X 14 room and Vand. 2Ce speakers. I just listened at low to low/mod. levels, but if I had it to do over again, I would get a nice pair of stand mounted speakers with bass down to 40-50 HZ and enjo... 
Musicality" in a system? What IS that ?
Great thread Detlof. Defining this is sort of like trying to unscrute the unscrutable, or nail jello to the wall. There are some really excellent posts above and much to agree with on my part.This months issue of TAS magazine re-states the origina... 
Music trivia anyone?
Angela100; seems we were posting at the same time. But either way I think you are correct. "The Trinity Session" just lists three, but on the Studio Sessions, John Timmins is listed as 'back-up vocals'. But I don't think John is a "regular" or ful... 
Music trivia anyone?
Angela100; Correctomundo! You win a cigar and 2/2 votes. BTW Peter Timmins is on drums, Michael on lead guitar (he also writes much of their music, and produces), and of course Margo is lead singer. Cheers Craig
