| Vinyl in London, UK I lived in London for two months last year. I visited the Soho area almost every week. There are like 3 or 4 shops on Berwick streets. The one mentioned above at 34/35 Berwick is actually called Sister Rey. The stores there are not bad, but Music ... | |
| isolation Actually, the rolling ball is not a voodoo science. It actually came from building construction engineering. I was working at an architecture firm about 10 years ago when I first got out of school, an engineering firm came to do a presentation on ... | |
| Usher Model Question Sorry to kind of go off topic here. Chuck, how big is your room? Someone's selling a pair on Agon claiming they are too big for his room. I am just trying to hear from other owners what they think. They are definitely too big for my current situat... | |
| Usher Model Question A friend of mine, "Semi", who posts here quite often just visited USHER's flag store in Taipei, Taiwan a few weeks back. I consider Semi to have golden ears and he doesn't get impressed easily. He has a pair of Sonus Faber Amati. He just wrote us ... | |
| isolation Vibration is everywhere and comes from various sources. It could be from the ground, it could be airborne, it could be from the components themselves. I used to work for a high tech company and every single piece of equipment in every lab sits on ... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood "The Departed" was based on the Hong Kong movie "Infernal Affairs". I have not seen "The Departed", but I've wondered if Scorsese kept the audio store scene.In "Infernal II" and "III", we got to see more of the hi-end store. There was a scene in t... | |
| Kef vs Thiel If you stay with KEF, you will most likely have a similar sound to what you currently enjoy. What I mean is that since they are in the same family, they will have some Going to Thiels will most likely cause you to start changing other components i... | |
| Sonus Faber Amati Homage vs Thiel 7.2 Could try one of the Pass X.5 or XA amps. The friend with the Amati will be coming to check out my X350.5 this week. He had contemplated about buying a X250.5. Will see what he has to say after he gets a chance to hear the X350.5.FrankC | |
| Watt Puppy 7 with Pass X250.5? Like everything else, speaker choices are subjective. I've heard both of these speakers at Hi-End shows. Can't say much about the WP7 as Wilson never allowed show attendees to play their personal CDs.I have been impressed by USHER speakers. And as... | |
| UNIverse Cu ,XV-1S,Shelter 9000 wt BATVkp10seSupe I am currently on my second Shelter 901. Before that I had a Benz M2. The Shelter 901 definetely is less warm, but has more extension, quieter background, tighter bass than the Benz M2. I had sold my first one after my son was born due to the lack... | |
| Sonus Faber Amati Homage vs Thiel 7.2 A friend of mine has a pair of the Amatis and I don't find them to sound as you describe. I am fairly familiar with them. My first thought reading your post is that it might be a system synergy issue. As per Brunogolf, what's in your system? My fr... | |
| pass aleph vs x series To some degree. The original X series sounded lean and cold, very much like stereotipical SS amps. But the .5 series adopted the Aleph topology for the first 50 or so watts, and added some of the signature sound that the Aleph are known for. I hav... | |
| MIT's not good for tube components? I've been using the MIT MI330 Proline (XLR) for ages. Tried a pair of friend's Nordost Quattro Fil a while back out of curiousity and it sounded so bright and shrill that my ears started to "bleed". This thread got me interested in this topic agai... | |
| ZYX UNIverse Nice cart. Heard it at my friend's place twice now. I've never heard the drums so real. Yeah, if I got that kind of dough, I buy one too. "Hey boss, can we discuss my raise now? I need to buy a new cartridge!"FrankC | |
| Thiel 7.2 and the 3.7 TOm, why not post it here? I'm sure there are many people that would be interested to read your comparison.FrankC |
