| Speakers that have holographic imaging on vocals.. Try smaller sized speakers, or add the medium-sized A-Physics to your list. Also the Genesis line, 501 & up, larger Harbeths, the biggies in the Tannoy TD line.But, my experience tallies with the above: good placement & electronics do help... | |
| How Often Do You Listen To Live Music?? Live classical only about 25x per year now... for many years we used to average 50-60 concerts a year (all kinds of ensembles) when times were financially better! | |
| Red Rose Anyone? Had you ever listened to Cello products, say 3-4 years ago? The bigger Red Rose electronics sound like Cello with tubes to me (i.e., on the warm side of neutral). I only experienced a pre/power combo once though, a S. Yorke TT. Very musical result... | |
| What's the Best Speakers use with the CAT JL2/SL1? Razen -- what speakers did you end up with? | |
| Overtubing? Danger? Why not look for a Quad 33/303 combo. Quad 57 speakers. That's pleasant & hi-fi. The speakers are exquisite. | |
| Why I am Selling I'm selling cause I want to hit the latest breakthrough in digital reproduction: enhanced fuzzy logic 96/768 upsampling & oversampling cdp. On 2nd thought, that product phasecorrect is touting -- no highs, no lows, no hassle -- sounds good. B.... | |
| system upgrade suggestions Likewise above, please give us a picture of source & wires... I've heard the Sparks sparkling (couldn't resist that, sorry). Cheers. | |
| Deja Vu All Over Again VERY sexy car, agree. What about the previous model (xk 120). I fell in love with both as a kid. Never got over them | |
| Music for "Tough Times" Judit -- which version do you recommend for the Duet?My nominations for... ...music to jump off a bridge: Mahler's Songs of the Earth with Ferrier....music to keep you off the bridge: "Never Get Out of These Blues Alive" JL Hooker | |
| Time for everbodys Top Ten list..... My TOP list tends to change by the week (or according to my moods...).The latest specials (random order):* Brahms 1st piano concerto, A. Curzon* Mahler Das lied von erde/Walter, Ferrier* Mahler 5th Symphony/ Barbirolli* M Davis "Bitches Brew"* JL ... | |
| Krell Amps vs others As above, regarding "clas A" & how much of it we really get. Other than Bear's Symphony1, another amp that runs in A for a long time is the Symphonic Line Kraft 250 (stereo & monos: the latter offer ~250 A instantaneous @ peaks). BUT, like... | |
| Short notes on Sibelius Seven Symphonies Hi Tweeker, I'm interested in yr appraisal of Jarvi/Stockholm. My reference is Barbirolli/Halle for all symphonies & I second your commendation of Segerstam/Danish RSO. Indeed, in certain passages I prefer Segerstam to Barbirolli.BTW, Segersta... | |
| B & W N802's Vs Revel Studios Vs. Mezzo Utopias Goone, IMO none of the two speakers you mention get the prize for "warmth". I would EXPECT the Mezzo to sound better in clarity & bass with your Pass -- BTW, JM has used Alephs to check their speakers... As Brandon above, I too find that bigge... | |
| Possible to run a turntable direct to an amp? ANY phono equipped with a volume control will do. The rest, i.e. choosing WHICH phono, is up to your musical tastes! Cheers | |
| Will my QUADs drive Spendor S100s? The 100s are not easy to drive to tonally correct results. That said, I once drove them with a 30W DNM -- it was OK at reasonable listening levels. I do think bi-amping (mid+high/ bass) rather than tri-wiring is a good idea.I assume there is no wa... |
