I heard the Zeus driving big Maggies using a digital source I thought the sound to be very good.A few months later i heard the same speakers driven by more expensive Pass Amps using an analog front end.I thought the sound with the Pass to be bette... | |
| VTL TL 5.5 VS Conrad Johnson CT 6 VS Shindo Auri Your dealer is correct.It does 'KILL" everything in its price range and then some. | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? FWIW,I think alnolan may have nailed this one.We all love our gear until the next "Great Hope" comes along.Its the MUSIC thats the KEEPER | |

| Joule Electra LA150 MkII or Lamm LL2 Deluxe? I am now on my thirteenth preamp.I have changed more preamps then any other component in my system.I do think the Lamm LL2 Deluxe is something special though.But everyones tastes are slightly different.I guess thats why Howard Johnson made so many... | |
| Joule Electra LA150 MkII or Lamm LL2 Deluxe? Mitch2,the recommendations listed above are certainly valid.The posters have excellent systems and I am sure able to hear differences between the line stages.I sold my Joule 100 MK3 when I heard a Shindo L.I eventually sold the Shindo and have bee... | |
| Most important component?? Audiokinesis' Crystal Ball is the most important componentDuke,great job !! | |
| What preamp for my Shahinians? Holzhauer,From what i understand Richard Shahinian recommends Solid state electronics for his speakers.Hart Huschens of Audio Advancements is a friend of Richards and also is the US distributor for ESE labs.The ESE lab line stage may be just the t... | |

| What made you select "audio" as your hobby Waffle 35Yes,well hidden from the wife.sometimes i wonder why they aren't more into it.My wife loves music,hears much better then i do and yet doesn't understand the emotion that one can feel when Gerry Mulligan's baritone sax plays beneath Chet B... | |
| Help,Allaerts or Transfiguration LarryiIt just goes to prove everything makes a difference.Any change that is made effects something else in the chain.I have a tech that installed the arm and cartridge at my home.He stops by at times just to listen.All i do is sit back and smile.... | |
| Help,Allaerts or Transfiguration Hi Larryi,You are correct.The Graham's as good as they are, can drive one to be obsessive.Because it is so easy to re-adjust you can spend your time tweeking instead of listening for pleasure rather than to hear which sounds better.Outstanding arm... | |
| Help,Allaerts or Transfiguration Sirspeedy.my 2.5T was gold (Albert forgive me.).I think it was about $100 extra but I didnt want to wait any longer.Anyway its been long gone.At my friends fathers home he showed me what he said was the first of its breed portable radio(circa 1948... | |
| 845 SET? deHavilland / Art Audio/et..al. Pubul57.No,what i meant was that the Solista being an integrated amp has its own preamp.You could use the Solista as an amp only and use the joule-electra for the pre, but that would mean you are paying for something you wont be using.Sorry for th... | |
| 845 SET? deHavilland / Art Audio/et..al. Phaelon,my speakers are 4ohm,87db.The Aries 845G drives them with ease in my 12x21 room.It has all the SET purity and yet I have never thought this amp to be warm or lush.I have tried a 250 watt solid state and a 200 watt digital amp with these sp... |
