| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? Twl: "Money comes and goes, but a great wine experience is with you always." I'm with you, clink! | |
| volume/transparency ? Drubin, those old Quads were good at ALL levels they could take, IMO :)! | |
| Amp for Eidolon again Thanks for correcting me Shubert. I should have said retailED, as you imply.Still think that those Spectrals for less than $2k are unbeatable... | |
| "period interpretation" beethoven? I'll track the Biddulph down. Thank you! Furt's 1937 was my "ref" 5th (picked it up on tape fm the local radio). | |
| "The Heat is On" -- ALERT Bozo: so yr point applies to ANY silicone based product -- or is there a particular brand that would be less likely to create problems? Thanks | |
| Help in Speaker Selection I join the others' recommendations to ALSO look at other speakers (the Piega could be a favourite). NOT because the 3.6 is not up to the task -- just that, in my limited experience, it uses a lot of power to open up at both frequency extremes.A sp... | |
| Upgrade Fever Superb set-up there, Walter! Many amps probably dream "shacking up" with a Supra & a Piega... Of the ones mentioned, I like the Gamut 200 -- but haven't heard it with yr speakers. Haven't heard the 102.Another amp I would thoroughly recommend ... | |
| amps for dunlavy sc4 Incidentally, J-D is also running a review of these speakers!Other amps I liked with the IVa (but head J-D's advice) are the following:YBA Passion stereo (ss)Symphonic Line Kraft 250 (ss)Jadis defy (tube)(In no order of preference).Note, I never l... | |
| "period interpretation" beethoven? Pls1: I second Furt at Bayreuth. Even though the sound of the chorus is strange (coming from below) due to the Bayreuth stage.Also recommend Furt's '43 recording of the 5th/Berliner (DG).Finally, I'm not sure Bwl's referring to Harnoncourt if it w... | |
| "The Heat is On" -- ALERT Many thanks, gentlemen. 6: don't wish to obtrude with obfuscation :^). Cheers! | |
| Class A and B differences? Ooops! Big, if you ain't getting the bumps with the Pass, look elsewhere for now. UNLESS it's a matter of electrically matching yr pre to the Pass. OR we have to reconsider the set-up, as you imply in yr last sentence.In this last instance, & ... | |
| Basic Repertoire or flogging a dead horse Back to Bartok's Concerto for Orch: to my knowledge, the better sounding one is w/ Chicago S. Orch/Boulez (DG -- CD).I prefer Chicago/Reiner (RCA -- LP, probably CD too), but the sound is not audiophile quality! Cheers | |
| Review: Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-IVa Interesting & well-documented post J-D (may I add, "as usual"?).You have obviously licked the dual matter of a) driving the IV, b) and setting them up, thereby relieved them of a slight "boxiness" I had heard some time ago.I felt this "boxines... | |
| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? Clueless, old chap -- edjamacate? That sounds tough ;) Why not just drink the wine? In vino veritas (et alia). Clink! | |
| Help in Speaker Selection Jim, what are you driving these speakers with (i.e. amp)? Or intending to drive them with? Cheers |
