Verity
Dpang233, interesting! I knew that Symposium makes platforms specifically for Parsifals. Didn't know BDR did as well. I ended up purchasing a set of the new platform (used on the Ovation) from Verity. It's a heavy metal base with 8 sticky rubbery ... 
Love my ipod, Hate my ear buds....
Do you just not like having these earphones inside your ear or are you looking for other similar in-ear earphones? I know some people don't like the feeling of having these things inside their ears. I've seen some headphones that are designed for ... 
Verity
I agree with Dave. Per a conversation with Antoine over at Verity last year, he mentioned that my 60 watt Pass Aleph Os would be enough to drive my Encores in my room. I've been driving them with the X350.5 and the bass is not lacking. So this pas... 
Audio Space amplifiers
Yes, I have heard of them. The company is in Hong Kong, and is highly regarded in Asia, especially in Japan with several awards from Japanese Audio magazines. The U.S. distributor's office is here locally. I caught the sign around the corner of my... 
Bell Canto VS Pass Labs
Mlawitm,Very tempting! I had purchased the amp before the speakers. I was having issues with my ML 333. The capacitors had blown three times in 9 years. The service tech was candid on the phone and told me it was due mostly to a design issue with ... 
Bell Canto VS Pass Labs
Mlawitm,In that case, I would run back there and make him an insanely low offer to take the pair of junk (Pass XA60.5) off his hands.Actually, why don't you give me his contact info, and I'll take them off his hands. Currently I have the X350.5 an... 
Verity Audio Parsifal vs. Aerial 10T
There are literally four generations of Parsifal. The original was introduced in 1995. The Encore was introduced in 1998-99 timeframe. In 2002, a new version of Scanspeak tweeter was introduced, and upgrade was offered to owners. The Ovation was i... 
Set screw for a Levinson 39 CD player?
Basically, you are just trying to prevent the tray from sliding during shipment, correct? Couldn't you just tape up the tray?FrankC 
Best way to add remote volume control to tube pre.
A friend of mine came up with this one. No degradation to the sound whatsoever.He disassembled a remote control toy car or something, ran a belt or big O-ring around the volume knob and a wheel. He then use the remote control (for the toy car) to ... 
Audiophile Wallpaper... the digital kind
Browse through manufacturer's websites and/or magazines. If you find something you like, contact the manufacturer to see if they are willing to send you those pictures in a higher rez. Just tell them you are providing free advertisement for them o... 
Audiophile systems of awe.
The MBL systems that I had heard in the last two hi-end shows were definitely impressive, but only with some types of music. I had spent at least three hours in their rooms at each show. Some of the music they were playing just took my breath away... 
Pass Labs amps. Help me choose.
French fries,I had a ML 333 for 8 years driving a pair of Thiel 3.6s. I had thought it was a good combo, but slightly veiled. For 3 years, I had thought maybe the Thiels were the weakest link in the system, and that they would be the next item for... 
Gyrodec question
I've been interested in the mod for my Orb SE for a few years, but I just could not pull the trigger because once you do the mod, you will not be able to reverse it. I've heard from people that liked the mod as well as people that did not like the... 
Anyone knows the Classe CA-401?
Classe equipment was used to demo with Thiel speakers at a lot of audio shows that I had attended in late 1990s and early 2000s. Can't remember exactly how they sound, but I believe there is some synergy there.If you are using the X1, why not go w... 
Power Cable suggestions for Pass Labs X250.5
I also have a dedicated 20A line for my X350.5. According to the manual and most of the opinion on discussion boards, the stock cords should be good enough and any high price powercords would only give you a marginal improvement. I've not used the...
