| Absolute Best power amp, tube ss Errr, "hear some of the others mentioned..." is what I meant, ofcourse. | |
| Absolute Best power amp, tube ss I'd add KR-8000 and Jadis (#??) monos to the Lamms, for tubes. Also vote for FM Acoustics ltd ed. and the big Pass, for ss.Would like to hear some of the other some mentioned; would love to be able to afford the likes of FM Acoustics, too... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Martin Logan Statements (powered by Cello) long time ago. Recently, A-Physics Medea (driven by S-Line Kraft monos). Aural memory failing me, I can't chose b/tween the 2, sorry. Quite a few speakers suggested above I'd like to hear though... | |
| Best component ever for the ... Emily, interesting. Where, in particular, do you use the DIY isloation squares? My contribution: take empty cigarillo (or flat cigarette) boxes, bore a hole, and thread cables through them. An effortless way of keeping power cords away from signal... | |
| Cat s new stereo amplifier I do mean "Don't hesitate to contact me if you think my impressions with that set-up are relevant to you".Sorry.. | |
| Cat s new stereo amplifier I will be auditioning the CAT Ultimate/power amp combo this coming W/E. Not vs. an AR, though... Also, speakers will be A-Physics (starting with Avanti, Caldera, Medea; as far as the amp will go), rather than your Wilsons. Note: this will take pla... | |
| Transforming a UK Rega into a US Rega Good news, Shersta! Philips here finally came up with a proposal (vari-speed 110/60 motor) priced at the bagatelle of $ +/-250. You're better off with Lauerman, etc., methinks.Good listening! | |
| Essential Classical For Symphonie Fantastique I also recommend Munch/CSO (japanese EMI - CD). IMO Munch is dramatic where Sir Colin (my pal, too) is lyrical...Kitch29, the tympani in the LSO version do sound as if they "acquiesce" (softer) with the preceding passage ... | |
| Rate the Audiophile Publications An interesting info site also deals with this subject. Go to www.high-endaudio.com/index_ac.html and check out "reviewing the reviewers". Got this from a relevant thread here at a-gon. In essence, the writer agrees with sqjudge.I, too, read mags f... | |
| Listening chair A comfortable armchair, big enough to squat in, if needs be. Good lighting, room to place glass (wine/malt)& ashtray (cigar smokes), at less than arms' length. It is important to be able to perform important tasks (smoking, drinking) without d... | |
| Alphason tonearm - reviews? How bad's the damage, on which Alphason arm? Hope for you the main tubing isn't broken or badly bent (it would look irretrievable...) and the arm is not the S100.Can U claim some (at least) damage & go for another arm??Best of luck.. | |
| The "Broken Blue Point Special Club" Dickens, the price was $~100 incl shipping. I got a $200 credit towards the purchase of the Clearaudio Discovery ($+2000, retail) a year ago. | |
| Where will be hi-end audio in 2050? Fpeel, the music will be available only on mobile, 69G technology. (Wires are an artifact of the past). Auditioning: virtual. Panel-style speakers will double as a wall, exotic models will also allow video & virtual-reality experience. Latest ... | |
| The "Broken Blue Point Special Club" Seems I hold the B-BPS record (to-date). TWO cartrigdes, retipped 3x each. Became a regular chez V den Hul retipping services. Started out, as a self-respecting audiophile, yanking the cantilever while dusting the TT (hi-level resolution is infini... | |
| Need SS preamp that sounds like tube . As Caterham, I also had a happy experience (yrs ago) using a fast pre coupled w/ valve powers. The set up was a DNM 6 driving EAR 519 cap modofied monos, driving Apogee Stage speakers. Felt like the DNM kept the EARs rocking.But that was back then... |
