| To tone control or not to tone control Artemus, Bob, referring to Bruce's suggestion & your results. I have an old Cambridge pre with tone controls. I'll try it out and get back to you if anything musically worthwile... emerges...Yours, (in further negative votes)! | |
| Martin Logan Accent vrs SL3s Well.. "The Wall" is not exactly what I would label "orchestral".Sorry. | |
| Martin Logan Accent vrs SL3s Hi, Lev. One of the two, the SL3 I beleive, is more difficult to drive. I happened to audition the two comparatively at a dealer's -- pls note, not at home. I listened to orchestral music ("Thus Spake Zarathustra", audiophile recording, what else/... | |
| Transforming a UK Rega into a US Rega Hi. Yr rega probably runs @230V / 50 Hz, as per Euro standards. You may be able to get an inexpensive power transformer (110/60 --> 230/50). I have used such an item, the other way round (I live in Europe). This must be frustrating for U -- if ... | |

| Separate Components Hi Johnny, I second the proposed combos above *AND* chas' & Lev's quest for more info... we're a bit in the dark (no pun intended).Cheers! | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Wehamilton, your reference to people not wanting reality and Detlof's reference to Europe reminded me of a worrying issue IMHO: young people NOT even KNOWING what reality looks, sounds, or tastes like. In my six year-old daughter's class (in Europ... | |
| Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords Thank you for your kind support, guys. Dekay, Kevin & others, your opinion on these cables would be most welcome. My only excuse for exploiting (let's face it) yr finances is this: I also thought of trying one out, but the shipping cost to Eur... | |
| if i could trade places...... Detlof, thanks, I'll check it out & start phantasizing. Hope the power supply is good out there -- or should I take an industrial grade battery with me.Cheers! | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Kthomas, following on yr thread, audio is not (yet) a lifestyle option. HT sometimes is, and people get together to enjoy an evening before the screen. How many times do people invite others to an evening of music -- as an accepted, discussed and ... | |
| Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords Now that the dust has settled, may I know why, whom & how I offended in my posts here (-2 ratings on my posts). I get a lot of important information on my hobby from a-goners. If I can do a better job in my communications, pls advise after you... | |
| So much Bach, where do I start? Frap, the Alain is GREAT! Txs for the right # --- but my dealer found the CD just the same.Thank you for the suggestion! | |
| To tone control or not to tone control Guys (gals), don't know if I offended someone(s), I have got -2-2 on all my posts on this thread. Whoever it is, help me do better rather than expect me to understand what i obviously do not. We're here to exchange info, experience around music an... | |
| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? Off at a tangent, if I may. The benediction of the NET is we can get together virtually, and communicate. The curse is, we are (I am) still far away geographically. Too bad we can't get together and share the experiences related in our exchanges..... | |
| if i could trade places...... An audiophile writer, living on an island in the Mediterranean. Funny, Cornfedboy, I trained as a lawyer and took a post-grad course in Ethnopsychiatry (hi Detlof!)-- but never exercised either. When younger, I thought I could double up as a blues... |
