| I'm Looking For the Best I'd recommend moving to Boston, buying a condo in the Prudential Towers, (a short walk to Symphony Hall) and a season ticket. You will also need to hire a hit man, because all the best seats are held by life long attendees, who usually pass them o... | |
| I'm Ready to go TUBE You need to decide what kind of tube sound you want first. Some tube gear is very rich with harmonic distortion, some is very clean. Some roll of the frequency extremes, other are strong at the extremes, some accent different parts of the audio sp... | |
| Tacky paint on back of Martin Logan Sequel II Is it anew speaker? Some oil based paints do take a long time to dry, but if it's a few years old, it shouild be dry by now. If they are new, I would complain to whoever you bought them from. Most industrial painters use hoigh solids quick drying ... | |
| Need some help for Wadia 850 cdp NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't let Wadia anywhere near it!!!!! Bring it to Steve at Great Northern. He just fixed my 850 so fast, it was on its way back to me by the time I called to check on its status! Wadia had my 830 for months, while they w... | |
| Wadia vs. Audiomeca I do like my Wadia very much, but I keep reading about the latest advances in digital and wonder what I'm missing. A couple years ago, it was Audiomeca, Audio Aero and Electrocompaniet. Now it's EMM and Reimyo. I realize the reviews are a often lo... | |
| Wadia vs. Audiomeca Ral - BooHooHoo! Iwas afraid of that. I want it all! | |
| Isolating the listening chair? I agree with Zargon (and Bright Star, I think)that feeling the floor vibrations is kinda cool. But I question Brightstar's suggestion that cones (the original device mentioned in the thread,) are vibration isolation devices that would isolate the ... | |
| Isolating the listening chair? I haven't tried it, but I remember there was a thread about something like this before. I think someone was putting bricks on his shoulders or something. If you are hearing improvements, I'm guessing it is due to the chair making less noise in res... | |
| APRIL MUSIC EXIMUS- HOW GOOD IS IT?? Since no one else is responding, I'll pass on my limited knowledge. I became aware of Eximus at CES 05 when one of the best sounding rooms at that show was using all Eximus electronics with DALI Megaline speakers. Another room that sounded very go... | |
| Tube or solid state amp or amps? Raygun - I agree wholeheartedly with all you say. While I can hear the differences between components in my system when comparing side-by-side, and have taken many steps toward better sound, I often wonder if these small steps have added up to eno... | |
| Tube or solid state amp or amps? Bostonjim - Congrats on the CATs. One of my 3 favorite systems at CES this year used a pair of CAT Monoblocks (along with a Reimyo CD player, forget what pre and Ascendo speakers). Rock solid bass, clean natural midrange, powerful and engaging sou... | |
| wadia making mistake? BMR3HC - I own a GNSC modified 850. I did not hasve it modified, but had an unmodified 830 before. The modified 850 wasa significant improvement over the 830 in terms of bass extension, image depth and 3 dimensionality (the sounds popped out more,... | |
| Tube or solid state amp or amps? Tube vs. solid state is a useless distinction. I have auditioned many amplifiers, and I find there is much overlap in tube and solid state sounds, and that tube amps and solid state amps vary widely in their sound. Of all the amplifiers that I hav... | |
| wadia making mistake? There is no reason to think that by implementing SACD there would be any less emphasis on redbook. I would guess that many things that make SACD better would also apply to Redbook. | |
| Martin Logan Aerius i vs. Spica TC-60 Keep the Spicas! Although I've neverheard the TC60s, I still have my TC50s (the first speakers I ever bought). I replaced them in my main system with very expensive monitors, which better them in many respects, but they still have a magic with voc... |
