| How did U get into this expensive hobby? Jim, what's your "audiophile approved" scotch? I find that Lagavulin, appropriately tweaked, brings pace to the system -- and much better imaging; the less I can focus, the better the imaging! Cheers. | |
| Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly Thanks for the tip, Clue! Cheers | |
| Who R U? Interesting story, Gheon (I used to be in a similar business, I think)! I liked your concluding sentence... very much similar to a "pensee" of B. Pascal. Welcome! | |
| Personal speaker evolution To the best my flagging memory (ones I enjoyed most in CAPS):1) Philips TT w/ detachable 2way speakers2) Home-made, Philips drivers3) Kef ?4) Tdl II5) SPENDOR LS3/5A6) Harbeth ?7) Spendor III (? the 3wire ones, anyway)8) Apogee Caliper9) Apogee DU... | |
| Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly LOL, Twl, the "pulsating Nissan"; what a beautifully accurate image! The Primal Thump (or Thud) is a killer product, indeed! Among the best thud machines IMO, are industrial washing machines and factory bottling lines: they keep a steady rythm AND... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Hear, hear, Rc! A lot of the (youthful?) enthousiasm and freshness seems to have gone away... Cheers! | |
| Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly Fascinating thread! However, I can't grasp the out of phase comment in Twl 0402 post: if, say, a multidriver speaker is out of phase, the musicality & timing (prat?) will be lost -- irretrievably? I mean, even if I reverse the polarity at sing... | |
| Anyone heard the KR Enterprise Antares???? Brandon, the guarantee on tube operation relates to the tubes' production specs (to 50.000 hrs of operation) and production technology -- so the manufacturer claims. Much higher vacuum, different materials including the appropriate glass, apparent... | |
| Linnies, need your help... Jc2000 said it all -- i.e., no problem there. Just to add that IMO, you could consider investing in upgrading the LP12 &/or arm to latest specs (if it isn't already), and keep the Troika (retipping, depending on wear). The Troika is, indeed, o... | |
| Anyone heard the new Cremona? I heard the Cremona driven by a stereo YBA Passion/Passion pre, and a Mephisto 2 cdp. The sound was reminiscent of the Amati -- but with less authority and volume (to instruments, not sound intensity). Very musical results, soundstaging and speed ... | |
| cornfedboy, signing off As someone notes, you'll still be here -- but invisible, behind the forum scenes. I too will miss your "visible" self, the content of your posts, the command of language, and the humour.Au revoir, rather than, adieu!Greg. | |
| Anyone heard the KR Enterprise Antares???? I remember excellent results with Valhalla / spm (IC/speaker) and also with bearlabs (IC&speaker). I state this as an indication of sonic characteristics that I liked (I listen to classical) -- not to say that you MUST invest in giga$ wires of... | |
| Contact Cleaner V: Isopropyl, used undiluted, may clean away the gold plating as well as the muck. Take care! Cheers. | |
| Anyone heard the KR Enterprise Antares???? Prcinka, interested to read more about Antares+Guarneri. BTW, what cables R U using to hook the two?Cheers | |
| Speaker Cable Too Short What to do? A reminder, gentlemen: Asamuelson has SPECTRAL gear, and Spectral strongly recommends MIT/spectral cable for SAFETY reasons. That makes playing around with other cable brands (as Fatparrot suggested) very "adventurous". He also seems to like the s... |
