| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen I heard the T&A system with Personas presented by Audio Doctor at the NY audio show this fall. I must say it was an impressive speaker for the $. The T&A gear was also very impressive. It was one of my favorite rooms at the show--but it wa... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Rubber Soul-----again. | |
| Wilson Audio Haters dlcockrum:No offense taken.To put the matter in better context, as I listened to them from at least 15 feet away in a seated position, the sound from the speakers seemed to be noticeably even with and below me. This caused me to not feel enveloped... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters Bdp24I must say that if you have heard the Watt Puppy series in a way that shortened the height of images, you did not hear them properly set up. I too am very sensitive to speakers that foreshorten image height. (I know that for some listeners ... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters I am a fan of Wilson speakers having owned Sophias, Watt puppy 7s, Sashas and next up, Alexias. The Yvettes and Sabrinas are fairly forgiving and partner well with a wide range of electronics. As for the upper ranks of Wilson speakers (Sasha, Ale... | |
| Ayre Codex - to keep or not to keep Hi Hgeifman:I heard the Callia dac at the NY Audio show and was very impressed as I have been with the Bricasti M1 (don't remember hearing an se version). I look forward to your comparison as I have never heard them in the same system. I'm also in... | |
| Can I Pair Audio Reseach Ref 3 w/ the McIntosh MC2505 Poweramp? I have had McIntosh equipment, ARC equipment and a number of combinations of the 2. My conclusion has always been that an ARC preamp and Mac amp or vice versa delivers the worst of both worlds. ARC/ARC is my personal favorite. Mac/Mac my second fa... | |
| Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock? Golden Ear Tritons are ridiculously good for the $. I hear them year after year at shows and I'm always amazed. Just heard them at NY show this past fall. Wow. | |
| Accidentally dropped Benz cartridge on moving acrylic platter for my VPI Scout If something had happened to your stylus or cantilever, you would hear it. | |
| Classic BAT vs. Audio Research Hi imgoodwithtoolsIf you’ve got the dough, go Ref 150 se or GS 150. I have a Ref 150 which I purchased when it came out. I later dropped KT 150s from ARC into the unit to obtain what I have been told by ARC insiders gets me 90% of the way to a Ref... | |
| Greg Lake RIP What a voice. Emerson Lake and Palmer, Trilogy and Brain Salad Surgery were (and still are) 3 great albums.Only Carl Palmer remains. so sad. RIP Greg. | |
| Classic BAT vs. Audio Research The house sound from BAT tends to be a bit darker than ARC. The criticism of BAT is that it's a bit on the dark side. Criticism of ARC is it's not "tubey" enough. I happen to disagree with both criticisms. I'm a big ARC amp fan, especially over th... | |
| How do I power my 800D(3)s Love the McIntosh tubes with B & W. Very synergistic. A pair of 2301s sound fabulous. If not, then Mac solid state. | |
| MOFI's new UD1S Santana "Abraxas" LP I'm on vacation now but when I get home in 10 days, I'll compare my UD1S to my original first pressing. Fortunately, I thought the album was great in 1970 and I still feel the same way now. Outside of the usual hits--Samba Pa Ti--. There's a lot t... | |
| looking pre tube for mc452 I have owned all Mac systems (C1100 and Mc2102) and all ARC systems (too numerous to mention) and a few combinations of ARC preamps and Mac amps--the last being the Ref 5 and Mc 2102. Despite my preference for ARC sound (I have an all ARC system t... |
