| Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy System 8 Amir57bs, clearly I was being too defensive about people that might just "bash" on Wilson Audio speakers. Negative opinions are fine. I generally like more detailed discussion, positive or negative, not just the bashing. That's all. And, look how ... | |
| Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy System 8 Great Review and thanks for taking your time to share it with us. Makes the hobby even more fun. I really love my W/P 8's also, but be ready for all kinds of replies. Even some that hate the Wilson sound.GerryM5 (member system)http://forum.audiogo... | |
| Top 5 recievers of the 70's and 80's ???? Yamaha CR-1000 (note sure about the CR designation, but mid to late 70's)This was my first receiver after building tube kit separates for years. I love it because it had everything; class A section plus a great tuner section.LuxmanMarantz 19Tanberg | |
| Stand out phono stages My 2 cents worth. My favorites that I've owned in preferred order:1. Wavestream (latest)2. Aesthetix Io Sig. MK II3. Mares Connoisseur 2.04. Vendetta 2C | |
| Best 6M IC cable Interesting that I came up with Nordost Valhalla, Stealth Indra, Kubala-Sosna, and StereoVx. Do you have any comments on these vs any others you have recommended in your systems, friends, or stores? | |
| Integrated Tube Amplifier for First Timer? Try a used Pathos Classic, great sound, great looks. | |
| What is the best Dynavector MC cartridge - why? Jonathan, we appreciate your dealer honesty. Is the XV-1-s mono or stereo? | |
| Blue Note 45rpm reissue Expensive yes, but fantastic music and sound. I just finished listening to the third and forth releases; Lou Donaldson's LD +3 and Kenny Drew's Undercut. So far I love each release. Can these be found use, maybe? Still, getting LP's for $50 may be... | |
| Room Treatments and WAF? Long Try full height vertical blinds to cover the entire rear window when you want to do super serious listening. You can get these in a variety of materials from vinyl to fabrics. Forget dealing with the open area (too costly-not WAF I suspect) just p... | |
| Where to repair power amplifier in San Francisco I don't know if Campbell, CA (south bay) is in your range. Nick Gowen, True Sound, is one on the best tech's in the Bay Area. Also, you might ask John Curl, Vendetta Research, if he knows of a repair good tech for SS. Come to think of it Scott Fra... | |
| AR Ref 600 question's Oneobgyn you are right on top on things. Let us know soon. | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? Yes, at CES last year and I thought they sounded better than their bigger 3's. If you can live with the total look with the stands and wires coming down from the speakers, they are wonderful.My (bias) the W/P *'s sound a little better (IMHO) and c... | |
| Speakers with high WAF? As my wife said, "those Wilson W/P 8's* are oh-kaaay". "Its those big black ugly things behind the speakers" (my Lamm 2.1's).* She picked the Mercedes Desert Silver finish. Which does go well in our modern decor. | |
| Best Tube Amp under 10K? Well I'm suggesting taking some time and going slightly over budget in order to buy a used pair of Lamm 2.1's - $12K- $13.5K. You may never need another pair of amps. The Lamm 2.1's are that good. Of course, if your crazy like the rest of us you b... | |
| Hansen Emperor or MBL 101E or Avalon Isis I'm not an owner, but IMHO. As the server says about the restaurant's menu, "its all good you can't go wrong". Then, "I'll take the Hansen's please", especially if you're looking for organic. I liked them every time I've heard them. |
