| Thanks to all the participants and respondents Jayme, Remember to be patient with the Audio Note stuff. Those Black Gate capacitors take a very LONG time to break in. Realistically expect at least 500 hours before things start sounding right. Enjoy listening. | |
| To Power Condition or not? Harleyhawk, How are those OCM 200's working out? Seems like you have a great setup. Have you considered the Audio Magic Stealth conditioner on your amps? They are not current limiting and really make a big difference. Not cheap but highly recommen... | |
| HELP: I need a solid state amp with a tube sound Consider Belles(Power Modules), Llano, Pass Labs, Ayre. | |
| David Berning "Holy Grail" 45 SE ZOTL now exists twl, Congrats on our new amp. I have a 811 Siegried with Avantgarde horns and am entranced by the music played thru this system. I would love to see a formal review and comparison with other SET amps (if you can borrow one). Enjoy. | |
| used when promised new Warren, "What we have here is a failure to communicate!" Famous line uttered by Paul Newman in the movie Cool Hand Luke. Above situation is a perfect example of this. I don't know about you but I think 90% of todays problems are do to poor communi... | |
| How important is aesthetics to you in purchasing otowick, The looks of a piece of gear is not important to me at all. Unfortunately it is very important to my wife since my system resides in my living room which is adjacent to the front door. Speakers have to be "OK'd" by her to see if it will f... | |
| So you're an audiophile - are you also a musician? Kevin, What do you mean by "musician"? A professional who makes a living at it or someone who actively plays alot? I played saxophone starting in 4th grade thru and including college. However I have not picked up the instrument since. I played in ... | |
| which amp for legacy focus I own a pair of the Foci. Have you considered tube amps. I went thru the same process. I think biamping would be a subtle change. For the heck of it, a friend hooked up a low powered tube amp(30 wts/ch). I was blown away by the transformation of t... | |
| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction Jayarr, Seems to me the best way to find out whether or not what is going on is brain acclimatization or equipment break-in is to buy a new unit and play extensively for the first day taking notes in the process. Play continuously at low volume fo... | |
| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? Any beer from Belgium such as Leffe, quaffed in an ice cold crystal stein. Crank up the tunes! Oh yeah, bliss. | |
| Taking the bad with the good Sean, What's really weird is that I had the exact same experience. I was really excited about hearing a new amp technology that was raved about by J-10 in Stereophile. I sat down to listen and my jaw dropped. This sounds like my very old Sansui re... | |
| Air Tight or Music Reference? Drv, I have not heard the Music Reference amps but have heard the Air-Tight amps. They sound great and are highly recommended. | |
| Which Acoustic Zen spkr cables for Legacy Sig III Darryl, Have you considered the Alphacore Goertz MI-2 copper. I owned Focus speakers for 8 years and loved the combo. At the time I bought them I auditioned Purist,Kimber,Tara Labs,Audioquest,MIT. I liked the MI-2 the best and they were the cheape... | |
| Thiel 3.6 vs. Dunlavy SC-IV/A Justin, Having heard both extensively and owning one(Thiel), I can say that they are different flavors from the same pot. Each has different strengths, both are excellent speakers. The Thiels excell in detail and transparency. They are a little le... | |
| Looking for additional cable ideas... Another vote for Goertz MI-2. Have upgraded recently to Silversmith but still think the Goertz MI-2 are the best bang for the buck speaker wire out there. I am not as fond of their interconnects. Definitely worth an audition. |
