| GIK alternatives Lots to absorb here (ha ha) but one thing is standing out: So far, I haven't seen any negative comments about ATS. That's impressive, because *ANY* company will have mistakes along the way which upset a customer here and there, so you always exp... | |
| Has anybody heard the Dynaudio Evoke 50? djverne68, could you tell us more about what you mean by “pass on the special 40”? That would be helpful. Thank you. | |
| Vienna Acoustic Bach Grand Ohms question I am a fan of VA speakers and I would say, do not use "any old" midwoofer to fix your problem. I have seen the Bach Grand woofer for sale on Ebay many times. It's not there now -- but I would keep checking. If you don't have any luck, you can a... | |
| Phono Preamps with "balls" ? C’mon guys, this one’s easy. Phono pre with balls?Art Audio’s Vinyl One. Done. | |
| Simaudio W-5 or Odyssey for Dynaudio Contour S3.4 Based on my listening tests and my ownership of Odyssey monoblocks for over 10 years, I strongly recommend that you avoid Simaudio and buy as much Odyssey as you can afford. I think the real "sweet spot" in the Odyssey line is a Kismet amplifier,... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors Lurker here, appreciating all of this discussion. I want to be very careful and just stick to the facts here. Unless I'm missing something, this comparison of Impact monitor vs. Emerald Physics is pitting: a 24" tall, 10" wide monitor speaker wit... | |
| Usher DMD tweeter upgrade: worth it? Does anybody who replaced their Usher Be tweeters still have them lying around? I'm looking for a nice used pair. Are these tweeters always the same? Or do they differ, depending on which speaker they were used in? I am going to use them in a pa... | |
| Conrad Johnson PV-10A mod experiences? Hi Davide,I noticed this part of your journey: "also replaced the stock electrolytics on power supply section with Nichicon fine gold caps but that didn't seem to cause a noticeable change"Since the PV10A uses polypropylene, not electrolytics, for... | |
| CJ PV-12 to ET3 or to mods? I got my CJ PV12 modded at RHB Sound Dezign. I can't comment on the PV12 vs the ET3, but I can say that in my view, if you have a PV12 you absolutely must get it modded (either at RHB or elsewhere), because in stock form, the tone is beautiful but... | |
| Power supply caps for CJ PV-5 Agree with Lloydelee21 -- RHB Sound Dezign has their own design that allows them to actually install V-Caps in your power supply if you want. For more budget-conscious, they can put Auricaps in, which is still amazing. It's around $700. I got the ... | |
| Rockport Mira not Mira 2 vs. Monitor Audio PL300 Thanks so much for your follow-ups. I agree Cmalak, I really do need to hear these before I purchase, and I intend to. I also value the experiences of those on Audiogon, and I appreciate the feedback I'm getting here.I certainly didn't mean to arg... | |
| Rockport Mira not Mira 2 vs. Monitor Audio PL300 First, I want to thank you for your responses. I want to be careful here, so please bear with me....I'm curious if general "knowledge of the brands" is driving these comments. I mean, MA's reputation is clearly nowhere near Rockport's. But brand k... | |
| Preamp modifications - who would you use? I'm curious how your amp mod went?I have used RHB Sound Dezign as well. Bob was very nice. They modded my CJ PV-12. In stock form, the sound stage was flat like wallpaper. It is now a formidable beast. It has real depth, as well as bass slam and r... | |
| Usher DMD tweeter upgrade: worth it? I have the Mini Dancer 2's with BE tweeter. They sound very good. I am going to replace the crossover components with better ones, and possibly replace the internal wire.Eugene, to answer your question, from my research, the DMD tweeter is:On the ... | |
| Art Audio Vinyl One & RHB Sound Dezigns? I also had the power supply mod done to my Art Audio Vinyl One by RHB Sound Dezign. I have not gotten the rest of the circuit modded by them yet, but am considering it.I really loved the result. Wrote a raving review on Vinyl Asylum. Everybody sho... |
