| Smooth treble the bright, brilliant and super transparent treble many people want when they are making the transition from "mid fi" to "high end" audioAgreed. However, I would replace "super transparent" with "super prominent". Smooth does, of course, mean ther... | |
| preamp with two adjustable outputs?? The big Mark Levinson | |
| has anyone compared Nordost Frey ICs vs Valkyrja In many cases I have found that using Valhalla gives better results than the others.HOWEVER, the ONLY way you'll really know is if a) someone has tried with electrically identical machines to yoursb) you try yourself.The rest is pure speculation. ... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... As a result of this thread, Lagavulin prices have gone up. I propose we boycott for the next 15days, see if Diageo takes pity on us. | |
| Guilty Pleasure recording? one of the reasons that I love getting into vinyl now, is that there is some music that is not available digitallyYeeeeup, that's the spirit! I have quite a few, one them is "Blues obscurities" a cbs compil from the 70s. Many classical & some ... | |
| Hansen Emperor vs...... Thank you, EMi & B v | |
| replace a full Cello System? Dear Amphibian, other than Jaybo's advise above, I can suggest she change ONLY the speakers. For a smaller sized model.Depending on how small the new space is (how small is it, btw??), these speakers could be a respectably "wide range" / fullish s... | |
| Thoughts on cartridge loading with a SUT. Very interesting & important info from someone who actually makes trannies -- and many other things.Thank you! | |
| Hansen Emperor vs...... Newly: I have heard Hansen King with Soulution, FM acoustics, Spectral, Viva , ARC electronics ...and the verdict is?What music did you listen to and what were (very) brief characteristics of the electronics? As far as you remember of course. | |
| Best Solid State for Avalon Isis RobTubes are not an option. Because of the room and source, I am not looking for an amp that is artificially fast or tipped toward the higher frequencies. I listen to big, loud, congested orchestral music Likewise. You also want American, so go fo... | |
| MBL 101E vs SF Stradivari vs Dynaudio Temptation? You can choose whichever and don't worry about the sensitivity: none of those spkrs is a champion of sensitivity and they are all quite big -- i.e. they require larger rather than smaller amps. The MBL might need 2x the power of the others which, ... | |
| Sell Hi-Fi and invest in stock market? Hopefully I could get a large gainTo state the obvious, long-term the market is more likely to go up rather than stay down. get a large gain and buy better equipment down the roadHmmm, not so fast. You'll have to recoup the loss incurred selling y... | |
| Audio Research vs Burmester Audio Dev -- I *don't think* i've compared 909 to the latest 911 -- but the 911 current until the beginning of this year?With a number of speakers, average sensitivity or better, (medium acapella, a-physic, wilson sophia, wilson maxx)the 911 gave a slig... | |
| Hansen Emperor vs...... What's up??? It's an obvious conspiracy mounted by the enemies of Hansen: Conniving Guido is mutinously misguiding the working masses, shamelessly and continuously. Call the cavalry. | |
| MBL: single 9008A to drive 101e - bad idea? Since you ask and have 60m2 for listening, I join Dev in choosing the 101. If you like their amps then by all means get the stereo & listen at moderate amplitude.Ultimately, however, you'll be let down by the pre (the Denon is OK as pro).So, I... |
