| Quad ESL 63's-Can they play rock music? I second ALL of the above. As you described them, these Quads are indeed a bargain. You'll find solutions for whatever is needed -- and, as Seth notes, even AC/DC have midrange. | |
| Review: Philips CD-880 CD Player Interesting idea, Oldtime -- reviewing a piece from the past.It enriches the review archives & your suggestion to use the 880 as a transport inspires further modding.Have you considered changing the IC connectors -- or even soldering the IC of... | |
| What's the deal with palladium?? Rsachek, T, there was talk about optimum length (eletrical) of a wire, something like multiples of 63 (?) cm. This corresponded to the length of a wave ??? being transported? I'm not making much sense. I think Sean had mentioned this -- but don't ... | |
| music , mind , thought and emotion Asa, thanks -- I can't answer yet though I'd like to, spontaneously... must put thoughts in order. 6 has info; he must be cajoled into revealing it ;) | |
| Review: Y B A Passion Integre Amplifier I too was impressed by the Passion Integre. The system was Lurne, SF Cremona. On a side note, the "Passion" line is commendably voiced & engineered IMO. It's only the YBA Signature 6 pre, that seems to better its passion stablemate -- & th... | |
| Kharma CRM 3.2F Ulrik: "what makes them special...at this price". A tough question! Subjectively, I found these speakers to be very open, natural & fast in the mid+upper register, a quality I'd commonly attrubute to stators. The hi-frequency extension sounded... | |
| "The Heat is On" -- ALERT Bozo, thanks. Subaru, is there any product that could help in maintaining rubber elasticity -- as in speaker cone surrounds? Thanks | |
| Out of the mouth of babes I did that using a/market cable all the way. Pls note, the above apply, so:A) done by a certified electrician (we have those in Europe, surely in the US too), preferably with experience in high voltage INDUSTRIAL applications. b) You STILL have br... | |
| Who Are You? or should I say "who were you?" Subaru: Tweak system, tweak oneself, keep alive. Come closer to one's self... as in meeting the recorded musical performance, meeting with oneself. No? | |
| Not another "Should I leave my amp on question???" Parrot, Futterman is the epitomy of reliability... try an ancient, hi-powered & untweaked (by the manufacturer) Jadis: Make sure yr power corp isn't keeping a constant voltage. Count how many tubes have blown when you get back.But when the tub... | |
| Preamp for Krell KAV-250a amplifier Since you like Krell, try the KCT. Rowland also sounds good with Krell (but different). A Hovland 100, Aesthetix or a CAT Ultimate may do the trick if you're into fast, dynamic & clear tubes. Ayre, Klyne and the bigger Sims should also pair we... | |
| Kharma CRM 3.2F I notice you're asking about the "F". The thread Mike refers to is confused regarding the version -- and indeed, somewhat philosophical, at the end of the day. I, for one, having heard Ceramiques with my electronics (then) liked them. However, thi... | |
| Great bargain - but outta my reach if only...I had Mr Gates' (of MS fame) financial means, I would snap up the Symphonic Line Kraft 400, the Genesis 1.1, the Tenors, the Jadis Defy (hopefully recent production model). A few good other S-Lines, Spectrals, Piega8's, the Tenors, a Gol... | |
| music , mind , thought and emotion Asa, I think Subaru's comment could find an easier parallel in the idea of 'harmony & "appropriate" rythm' put forth in ancient greek tragedy. There, harmony (i.e. beauty or perceived "correctness") is interactive UNLESS the forces of nature o... | |
| What's the deal with palladium?? Thank you, T! On a frivolous note, how about building an "A'gon palladium special" cable, and make millions selling 5-6 cables? There I go being consumerist again, sorry. |
