| Clash of the Titans Allow me to chip in with my limited experience. Jadis: sound can be best desctibed as emminently "musical" for wont of a better word. My experience with smaller models & briefly with 800, is of a very full sound where it's difficult to discern... | |
| Are you manufacturer's paying attention? ralph@atma sez:"We would all like to make amps that cheap, I imagine, but the facts are that such an amp has to really have some corners cut to be worth making." I dare say my indirect experience in the matter tallies, lately with a EE friend batt... | |
| Greatest American Rock and Role Bands of ALL Time As noted, Jethro Tull, U2, AC/DC, A-Cooper, P-Floyd, etc, (Troggs? Aerosmith?) are not american... BUT Hendrix, Zappa, Velvet U/ground, Allman Bros, S-R Vaughan band, Doors, are/were (unfortunately for those in past tense).Cheers! | |
| Speakers to match Audio Refinement Complete? I second Triangle & Sonus Faber, from (limited) experience. | |
| Best power for 10,000 Tsalmon: Even @ $10k, the type of music you listen to PRIMARILY (and hence, judge by) could be the decisive factor in choosing the amp. If classical, Pass (BUT see Bwhite above), YBA Passion, Symphonic Line (the big Kraftquelle integrated) for ss,... | |
| What is vibration isolation for? Reading the above, I notice a resurgence of, "deductive logic vs. experience". "It cannot be so, give me proof (numbers)" vs. "I tried it and experienced (heard) differences"I respectfully submit that deductive logic, well intentioned (as I wish t... | |
| Duevel Hi, I have repeatedly listened to the Bella Luna & the Venus at a dealer's. I liked the Duevel sound, considering it one I could live with.They were paired with KR (tube)/ Symphonic Line (ss) and Klimo electronics (tube). If memory serves, cab... | |
| What are the 5 most overrated rock albums? Actually Sean, that makes two of us (to hate) re: Springsteen. Also never caught on to The Smiths, and never understood what all the fusss was about. | |
| FM Acoustics, who knows this company? Thanks for the kind words, Detlof. Inna: I have listened to FMA on a few occasions, lately (~1yr ago?) playing in a Genesis speakers/SYorke TT/Symphonic Line Reference cdp, system. The sound was more impressively clear and very fast. I mean to str... | |
| Transport - will it really make an improvement The transport has to extract an ENORMOUS amount of information in a CORRECT manner, reading from a small, dotted, plastic disc spinning at formula1 speed. This info is then fed to the dac for sampling & conversion. There is incomplete info on ... | |
| This time Aopen gone too far Back to the future: audiophile motherboards! Notice the wondercap sitting next to the tube. Now, let's talk about bias setting and tube rolling... | |
| Are all copper cables virtually oxygen free? LOL, Sean... A breath-taking clarification of the complex conducting process! | |
| BEETHOVEN'S LATE STRING QUARTETS For 15-16 I recommend the Talich Quartet (Calliope CAL 9639), for 12-16 + Grand Fugue the LaSalle Quartet (DG). | |
| Energy, Environment & High End Audio At your price range, I "third" the 70W Berning. At higher prices, you could consider KR Antares (tube) and Symphonic Line RG7 (ss) for lots of energy! | |
| Nautilus owners upgrade to what? Purist: when referring to "a fraction" of an amplifier, surely you mean in quantity --- not in quality :)! I remember the Uno being quite revealing on top & not easy to drive in the bottom!!As to the B&W signature, I too was impressed by t... |
