| Did You Have Fun At RMAF? Thank Al&Marjorie It was awesome. I got to see lots of toys and got a good picture as to where the technology is going. I wish they would start earlier on Friday. Otherwise, I have to say, it's an outstanding show!FrankC | |
| Thiel 7.2 and the 3.7 I thought the 3.7 sounded bad last year at L.A. Just heard them again at the RMAF driven by all Sim Audio or Moon Audio equipment and they sounded wonderful. And the best thing is that the binding post are now on the back, not at the bottom. And I... | |
| Usher Model Question Nick72, greatly appreciated for the info. I got to hear the BE-10 and the BE-718 at the RMAF show. They sound pretty good.FrankC | |
| Solid Tech - A new brand for racks and stands I have both the Radius and Rack of Silence, and all the "accessories". With Radius, you can add additional springs under each shelf to further isolate the shelf from floor vibration.With the Rack of Silence, the "shelves" lock into the posts. The ... | |
| Best rack for non-suspension turntable? I was on the same camp as Tbg until we swapped out the 400 lb slab that my friend had under his BAT tube amp and replaced it with a Grand Prix amp stand. He had tried many stands and ended up settling on a piece of slab that he was using under a v... | |
| Best rack for non-suspension turntable? Just an idea. I am currently using Solid Tech racks. They have two lines, Radius and Rack of Silence. With Radius, you can add springs under each and every shelf. With the Rack of Silence, you can also isolate even more with springs except the top... | |
| favorite pass amp? I guess I must be a very loyal Nelson Pass fan. My first amp was the Forte Model 6. And I still have my Aleph Os, and also the X350.5.The Aleph Os was driving a pair of speakers in my second system. That system has been dismantled since my son was... | |
| is RMAF worth a trip I travel to Denver once a month for work. Last one was 3 weeks ago. I took a detour to find out where RMAF would be hosted, and it was just within 1/4 mile from where I was staying. It's not that easy to get to as the airport is in the middle of n... | |
| Best speakers with Pass labs X-350.5 I agree with what Rost said regarding Dynaudio C4 and also Sonus Faber speakers. A friend of mine bought the X350.5 right after he heard mine in my system. He has a very similar setup as you, Audio Aero CD player + ARC Ref 2 Mk II + X350.5 and Dyn... | |
| Anyone audition the new Thiel 3.7s yet? Can't believe there are actually people out there that like the look. (No punt intended) I personally think they are ugly, and I remember last year there were tons of posts bashing the new look left and right.I spent several sessions with the prot... | |
| Unhappy with tubes so which transistor amp? I second the Pass. I have the a GNSC modified LS-25 Mk I with Amperex 7308 white label tubes. Used to pair with a Mark Levinson #333 running a pair of Thiel 3.6. Switched over to Pass X350.5 about a year, and was impressed at how good the Pass sou... | |
| Regards to the Rack Same here. Didn't think too much of it at first. I had the Solidsteel and bunch of Lovan Sovereign shelves which I thought should be good enough isolating the vibration. Last year, a friend bought some Grand Prix Audio rack and amp stands. We move... | |
| Going to USA: Where to buy LPs in CA and Vegas? Rather than hitting San Francisco, you should go across the bridge and go to Berkeley. Will you have a car? Amoeba and Rasputins are a block from each other on Telegraph, Grooveyard (6095 Claremont/College) and Saturn Records (5488 College) are ne... | |
| Mapleshade brass tubedampers The cheapest solution is the Silicon o-rings that you can get at McMaster. If you do some search on Tweak Asylum, you can find the information on the diameters for various tubes. Signal tube benefit the most from dampers. Several of my buddies hav... | |
| Vinyl in London, UK Stick to the U.S. stores if you are looking for Jazz LPs. What would you want to buy European pressings when you can get the U.S. pressings here? When I was in London for two months, I only bought some U.K. rock albums.FrankC |
