| Ray Thomas has Passed I saw the Moodies on tour with and without Ray. It was a different concert without him. He was a quiet contributor. RIP Ray. | |
| Best analytical loudspeakers for strings (midrange)? The Wilson Yvettes should do the job. The ATCs are also among the best especially in the midrange which is one of the best in the industry. The ATCs will not have the dynamics of the Wilsons however. Paradigms, not so much. | |
| Vandie .7 vs Maggie .7 John Rutan is the man. He will not steer you wrong. | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Wow--good timing Frank. Somebody get me some popcorn. | |
| Best Audio Writing of 2017? Of the major newsstand publications, I always enjoy Herb Reichert, Art Dudely and Michael Fremer. I'm more in Fremer's camp when it comes to the type of equipment he prefers.I also enjoy Jonathan Valin. I find his description of the sound he hears... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Can anyone rationally explain Shakti Hallographs or any number of small tuning devises from Harmonix, SR and the like? I can't but I believe in the reports of a large number of reputable people who say they use them and can hear a difference. And... | |
| Zerostat: Old is Gold? I have a white Zerostat from I believe around 1972 which still works. I can't tell the difference between that and the newer blue one I purchased 2 years ago. When I bought a Furutech Destat, both Miltys were shelved as the Furutech works better a... | |
| D’Agostino Momentum Monoblock Amps With Audio Research Reference Level Pre-Amp? This is a wonderful combo. Heard it many times including in my system. Dag amp and ARC pre gives a whiff of tubes but great grip and transparency. All tube ARC pre and Ref 250se will not be quite as transparent but more dimensional with better tex... | |
| Musician vs. audiophile The Sophias are anything but flat, punchless and colorless. Even with an average 250w ss amp ( assuming no impedence mismatch) and a BAT tube front end, the Sophias should give you dynamics and color. Either amp/ preamp mismatch, poor setup ( Wil... | |
| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) +1 re Wells Audio amps. They are among the best and highly underrated. | |
| What music or equipment gifts did you get for Christmas this year? She gave me continuing indulgence allowing me to pursue the absolute sound in our living room. | |
| Wrong way to clean a stylus! I once scratched a precious record when the plastic straw flew off a compressed air canister and dug right into the vinyl. I have never used a compressed air canister since without holding the straw as I do it.Sounds like you had a slightly more ... | |
| aluminum platter vs Acrylic not what I thought I have the Superplatter which I like alot. I heard that VPI's contractor had trouble machining the Superplatter to allow for proper rotational speed and stability. But mine works just fine. | |
| My apologies_Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7's? Audiotroy:You are learning. Only 8 paragraphs this time. Maybe someday you'll learn that verbosity is the soul of twit. Anyway, I have built numerous systems for friends. None have involved Wilson. In none have I even recommended Wilson. They are ... | |
| My apologies_Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7's? sorry Audiotroy. I actually don't bother to read your long winded defensive responses. You use way too many words. You remind me of Bo. Have you read Bo's posts? I don't know who does. It's the music I care about, not hot air.Keep it short and I'l... |
