| The pursuit of bass... I agree that bass is challenging to get right, and integrate well. I've certainly heard speakers that integrate the full range from top to bottom very well indeed, so it is not by any means impossible. I do agree that the room will play a very sig... | |
| Headphones - Senn HD 800 or Grado RS1i....... I use a pair of Black Treasures (from Ian) in my Modwright Transporter. I agree, they are excellent tubes (in that application at least). Sorry, I don't know what you are using them for though - which tube type are you using? The only competitor i... | |
| Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse Wowwww. That is you may wanna give the coda a try, it may sound strange to use auch efiicient speakers with high power solid state but it is very good I don't know why.Yours is very similar to my experience. The two areas that really come to shine... | |
| Headphones - Senn HD 800 or Grado RS1i....... Your Woo Audio looks interesting. Are you using theSophia tubes? I used to have the Sophia mesh 300b'sin my Cary and it was the most glorious mid rangeI have ever heard coming from my Cary. However, thisfaded after about 50 hours. Possibly too muc... | |
| Musical Speakers - If you like that sort of thing. At the most basic level, it is a simple tap test; I've auditioned many a speaker where I could hear the artist's take a breath in and guess the length of the guitarist's nails, but was unmoved. The same music through a different speaker would make... | |
| Headphones - Senn HD 800 or Grado RS1i....... Scottmac - If you are in Seattle, as am I, I'm pretty sure Definitive carries a Grado and Senns....not positive though...I haven't been to Stereo Row in a long time. 32 Ohm has it all and great amps as well. Here's a feature on them. I use a Woo A... | |
| Klipsch LaScallas vs Klipsch Cornwalls? I find it hard to imagine that someone who really likes the Spicas will find happiness with any of the Klipsch models. None of the Klipsch will image or soundstage like the Spicas.I owned TC50's for eight years, from brand new. Probably the longes... | |
| Klipsch LaScallas vs Klipsch Cornwalls? I'd heartily second Elevick's recommendation for Coincident as a good alternative. They have been of very few speakers I've heard that offer the speed and sparkle that satisfied the expectations I had from coming off of LaScalas for so many years.... | |
| Klipsch LaScallas vs Klipsch Cornwalls? I've owned several pairs of vintage Klipsch Heritage speakers. They offer great bang for the buck, but to really make them sound great they can all use a bit of work in various ways. Of your two choices, LaScalas benefit greatly from a better twee... | |
| Who has found happiness giving up cd player? I come not to dispute tastes, but to inquire of them :-)I like to watch. Whoops, wrong forum! | |
| Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse Rf - really no apologies necessary at all. I took no offense. As I'm sure you know, Ralph is one of the good guys (I think he's the one on the stool), and I agree; he is more than generous in sharing his thoughts (and time) in these forums. I have... | |
| Headphones - Senn HD 800 or Grado RS1i....... Scottmac - do you live near Portland, OR. If so you can listen to those and various other headphones at 32 Ohm. There are probably other resources in major cities. Or try doing what ThomasTrouble did and buy both and return whichever you do not pr... | |
| To Preamp Or Not To Preamp,That Is The Question It sounds really good to me.You've answered your own question.If you are purely curious, start another thread: which $xxxx preamp is best with my system? Pick one of the 16-20 various recommendations you get there...any one will do...maybe even on... | |
| Who has found happiness giving up cd player? My discs have remained archived in storage for years now. Ever since I got a Modwright Transporter I find no need for them beyond initially ripping them to my library. It is so much more convenient having my entire library at my fingertips and to ... |
