| Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp? I haven't had the Hurricanes for very long, but have never had a biasing problem. Neither did the previous owner. Biasing is easy and straight forward. I didn't see any mention of biasing or reliability problems on Salvatore's site. I've read that... | |
| Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp? I took some of these in on a partial trade. The amps I have were upgraded with Coincident wire and Svetlana 6550s. I have since sold them because I don't have tube friendly speakers at the moment, and I don't like having an inventory of audio stuf... | |
| Hovland HP-100 vs. CAT SL1 Ultimate: Feedback Please don't egg him on. Then we'll be stuck with him like they are on Audio Asylum. | |
| Any comments on Alon Lotus Elite speakers? Heard them at The S.H.O.W. in Vegas in January 2003. They sounded very good using DeHavilland amps. | |
| Anyone hear new Antique Sound Labs "Hurricane"? I have them in my system right now for a demo. These have upgraded KT88s, wiring, and input tubes. Extremely good amps, especially for the money. Detail, soundstaging, imaging are right up there with the best I've heard. | |
| Diural's Roman Centurion Spk:Good or already Gone? Greg - as far as power, I know that Dale used to show these speakers with the Cary V12 monos, and told me that they ran out of gas in the bass. I have tried using them with a 23 watt Wyetech Topaz that is a much stronger amp than my 50 watt Jolida... | |
| Mutine's Equation 7 speaker: An Unknown "Sleeper"? Mutine is a French-Canadian distributorship. Many dealers are dropping the lines they carry because they have horrible customer service. The wait for product availability is ridiculous, and they almost never return telephone calls. The speakers ar... | |
| Diural's Roman Centurion Spk:Good or already Gone? I own the pair reviewed by Wes Philips at the above webpage. These speakers sound great, but need power. Don't be fooled by the 93db sensitivity. Fontenot now imports and distributes Cabasse speakers, and if you call the telephone number on his we... | |
| Coincident Total Eclipses or Inner Sound Eros Mark I had the Victorys too, Brulee. I tried everything to get the threadbare midrange corrected, and used amp after amp. They were just irritating to listen to. I finally got music out of them using a 12 watt Audion, which was a great match, but didn'... | |
| Coincident Total Eclipses or Inner Sound Eros Mark The Inner Sound is more transparent and detailed, but has a very small listening window. I owned the Mk 1s and you could change the tonal balance while listening just by leaning to the side or turning your head. If you listen with others, forget i... | |
| Has anyone had dCS Elgar/Purcell Upgrades done? Agreed. I just got my Elgar and Purcell back after upgrading. A stunning improvement in smoothness, liquidity, and detail. I would highly recommended it to anyone with the older gear. | |
| Comparison between Sunfire and REL subs ???? I had both the Rel Storm III and the Sunfire Signature. The Rel wouldn't go low enough to really augment the bass of my Merlin VSMs, and it didn't blend very well with them. I never could get it to mate very well with the Merlins, and sold it. I b... | |
| DCS Verdi Elgar Purcell VS. Audio Aero Capitole I wanted to wait to post again until I received my upgraded dCS gear. First of all, regarding dCS and any service issues, dCS kept me informed of the progress of my components by email, and were a week ahead of schedule in the updating process. I ... | |
| DCS Verdi Elgar Purcell VS. Audio Aero Capitole Don't read it! You never know when seeing or hearing something that bothers you will cause you to commit a violent act of aggression. | |
| DCS Verdi Elgar Purcell VS. Audio Aero Capitole dCS components do not upsample to SACD. Nothing can do that. They do convert the digital signal to Direct Stream Digital (DSD), and then use firewire as a transmission method between components. Anyone who has any experience with firewire or I2S c... |
