I am in Georgia attending a Saab driving school and only logged on a while ago...i will be happy to answer your questions...and I need to look at the thread because I don't recall acusing anyone of attacking ... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH I am as fascinated to read Mr. Robinson's comments as anyone here. I can tell you that as this thread has run, I have received at least a dozen private emails from people agreeing with my assessment of the Grand Prix Monaco. These were not negativ... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH of course listening to an MP3 is not a "professionally accepted" way of auditioning anything. I didn't use MP3s to audition the 'table or any other product. However, I was fascinated to find that even reduced to an MP3, numerous correspondents wer... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH While a CD made from vinyl does not sound as good as the live source, it does sound better than commercial CDs for whatever reasons. I made a CD-R of Van Morrison's "Astral Weeks" (original Warners-7Arts label) for some Warner Brothers executives ... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH Dear French Fries: I did just what you're axing for in the latest ish of Stereophile: the Monaco and the Merrill-Scillia, both around 20K reviewed in the same issue. The Scoutmaster is a great 'table. I reviewed it. You should be tickled. But it's... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH There's something else I'd like to add to this discussion that I didn't delve into in the turntable review. My Lloyd requested I use his stand and I did. It is a lightweight carbon fiber "A" frame design with "lossy" Sorbothane pads in between the... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH No problem. I can take a punch. It's part of the job. The Orpheus is fantastic! The other part of the job, hearing all kinds of great stuff, is the best part... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH The Dynavector is the cartridge I'd recommend using with the Monaco... and did in the review! | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH No need to apologize for disagreeing! However, looking at the Monaco close up, examining the build quality and taking into account what must have gone into designing, building and actually manufacturing such a product, I don't think it's overprice... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH I tend to agree in part with Rauliruegas and I am the one who wrote the review in Stereophile. I do agree that people considering the table should read other full reviews and listen to for themselves, which is something I think should be done with... | |
| Audiophile TT article in Forbes I have forwarded this link on to my CPA for his amusement. Haven't you guys got anything better to think about? Maybe you could talk about all of the time I spent on the phone with the writer of the Forbes story trying to make sure our hobby/indus... | |
| Who is Michael Fremers' I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread. I will now put it between my teeth and use it for dental floss. I don't understand what motivates some folks. Differences of opinion about something is to be expected. What I find interesting is how some peop... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s What is the REAL story? No. I was never HP's set up man. | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx I am writing here as Michael Fremer not as a Stereophile employee. In fact, I am not a Stereophile employee. I write for the magazine but not as a salaried employed. I am happy to say that when I speak for myself I can use any language I wish and ... | |
| Has anyone heard the ASR Basis Exclusive? I reviewed the ASR and thought it was a phenomonal product. Certainly not for all tastes. It was very revealing, open and dynamic. If your system does 'scale' it is grand. If not, you've wasted your money and will only get something that will soun... |
