| Help-Genesis Digital Lens Millenium - I am in the process to audition an updated Genesis directly to my stock unit. This is THE only way to get a handle on how any changes might result from the upgraded unit. I already know the value of going through a modification process... | |
| What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers? "I believe panels had their advantages back in the 80's ad 90's but top cone speakers have surpassed them today."That's one heck of a bold statement with the Magnepan MG12's as a reference to judge all other panel speakers. And what exactly is a t... | |
| I need HELP with my LP12 based system Thsalmon - I do not think Dougdeacon's comments were bashing at all. In fact I would agree with them ... and I owned an LP12 for nearly 18 years. Perhaps the people whose systems are all Linn and/or Naim components might feel the LP-12 to be the T... | |
| ARC LS1, LS2, LS3 , or LS7, which to buy? Hi Marty - I think we all have a more clear view into your budget....looks like the $500-700 range? The ARC pieces in this range are at two extremes: warmth and dimensional but lacking detail that I sense you are after, and the other end which is ... | |
| CAT Preamps vs Amps "Hey security, who let this solid state man in here?" | |
| ARC LS1, LS2, LS3 , or LS7, which to buy? Marty - If you're considering a unit with a phono stage, that changes many things. I understand your concern over the older units, but the LS2/LS3/LS7 are all 10+ years old so these do not guarantee much over the units from the 80s.It comes down t... | |
| ARC LS1, LS2, LS3 , or LS7, which to buy? I have great respect for Guido on this site, but my experience with the LS2 was opposite to his comments here. It's going to take a lot more than a special tube from Jupiter to bring the LS2 into greatness....or even musical enjoyment for me. When... | |
| Help-Genesis Digital Lens Kana813 - Thanks for the offer to share some tweaks. With the Genesis long out of production and the company not willing to share the schematic with even a respected modification/repair company like GNSC, once a Genesis has a failure, most likely ... | |
| CAT Preamps vs Amps Rayhall - Just tonight I finally had a chance to try Brimar 12ax7 vs. Tele and Mullard in the Callisto and 4 different stages of the Io. There was a consistency of the Brimar that I have to believe would be true for the CAT. Wish you could have he... | |
| Help-Genesis Digital Lens Now that this thread has turned into a pissing match on what upgrade company is superior to another for products that have nothing to do with this thread, does anyone have quantitative or qualitative information as to any mods they have had done t... | |
| Sonic difference between the CAT JL2 Sig & CAT JL3 Funny guy you are, sirspeedy and Brian too. But you know something guys, I really am close. I am pretty sure that anyone out there with one of the CAT amps has a weaker link in their system than the amp. So there's little need to fuss over moving ... | |
| Review: Aesthetix Calypso Line Stage Tube preamp dmib - Please look for JD's review of the Callisto. What you have is very good ..... but ........... | |
| Sonic difference between the CAT JL2 Sig & CAT JL3 Hi Bart - I have the JL-3 Sig but the original (MK I), not the MK II. The JL-3 Sig MK II like the JL-2 Sig has many passive component updates which could lead to major improvements in midrange and treble clarity and resolution. In a recent upgrade... | |
| Vote your next American What a cool idea for a thread. Well if the latest DIY cables thread by JD, A'gon name Jadem6, is any indication as to the value of anyone to the Audiophile world, it's quite clear who gets my vote. Just read any of his A'gon component reviews and ... | |
| DIY Interconnects review Welcome back my dear neighbor. Your most informative posts have been greatly missed the last few months.I am the "bloom" guy JD mentioned. When he had the Nordost cables last year, his system was way too analytical for me. I knew something was pos... |
