| Is RAVEN TABLE that good over sme or Walker? For all those interested in another Raven review, go tohttp://www.soundscapehifi.com/tw-acustic-raven-ac-review-2.htm | |
| Is RAVEN TABLE that good over sme or Walker? http://www.tw-akustik.de/ is the site for Raven-producer thomas woschnik, including links to his US-distributor. There were several enthusiastic reviews of the several Raven models in the German high end magazines such as LP or HiFi&Records. S... | |
| lat international I upgraded to LAT´s IC-300 Signature, their DI-30 digital, and the SS1000 MkII speaker cable, I am very satisfied with the positive change they made in my system. I think that the LAT cables are indeed as good, or better, than other cables which a... | |
| McIntosh MA6500 Integrated amp Williammeredith,You cannot confirm with the engineers, but with your ears only. This I have done, and these amps sound different, as experienced by others who have compared them - see the thread mentioned above. As far as Mac´s engineers are conce... | |
| McIntosh MA6500 Integrated amp The MA6500 and 6900 do NOT sound the same. The 6900 is the better unit, sounding more tube-like when called for, sounding more convincing with voices and instruments. Having said that, the 6500 is a terrific amp, which I owned myself. The only dow... | |
| Opinion on McIntosh MCD 201 SACD player Greeni,Over on the Mac-forum of audiokharma, you will find quite a bit of info on this player. I am a Mc-fan myself, as far as their amps are concerned, but with the MCD 201, they have already brought out the 4th correction software. I would not t... | |
| On a budget 802N or 803D??? Dealer says 803D. The German magazine Stereo, who had the 802N as a reference speaker, tested the new 803D and found it to outperform the 802 in the middles and highs, if not the bass. So the advice of your dealer seems true. | |
| The Isolator: the latest rip-off? I exchanged e-mails with Helmut Rohrwild of HiFi&Records in Germany, who is as experienced in analogue as Michael Fremer in the US. He tried the Isolator with a SME V, his Schroeder Reference, and, as far as I remember, with at least half a do... | |
| Review: Accustic Arts DAC1-MK4 DA converter Teajay,you are not by any chance a dealer, or the US-distributor for Accustic Arts, are you? Because Martin Schunk of Accustic Arts mailed me today that they have not yet started official distribution, and that so far "we without exception only di... | |
| Spectral vs. McIntosh Thanks, Sean, that was really illuminating | |
| Spectral vs. McIntosh Sbank and Sean, instead of repeating that Spectral sounds very different, could you please elaborate on HOW it sounds different from Mac? | |
| CAT or VAC for Shahinian Obelsik OK, I have read a little bit about the CAT now, and this indeed seems to be a special kind of beast. Let us know how it turns out sound-wise. Another tidbit of my experience, however: The Obelisk is very sensitive to a good speaker cable. What do ... | |
| CAT or VAC for Shahinian Obelsik Sam,as a fellow owner of both Obelisks and Diapasons, let me say a word of caution. I have found that the advice to use powerful SS amps, which can deliver a lot of current, to be correct, especially with the Obelisks. In my experience only SS lik... | |
| Spectral vs. McIntosh Spencer,the McIntosh-gear I use is all solid state, I was just wondering about hearing from people who have heard, or owned, both McIntosh and Spectral. | |
| Spectral vs. McIntosh I do not try to compare models, but just to get an impression of what the difference in sound is. I myself have a McIntosh C200/MC402 combo, which offers excellent mids, deep, life-like bass (very important to me!), natural highs, but not the last... |
