| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? For the past week I have been using a Jeff Rowland Continuum S2 in my system. It's still breaking in but so far I am very pleased with it. My tube separates are an Emotive Audio Epifania preamp and Vita mono blocks. I love them but the amps are ju... | |
| Speaker Suggestions My suggestion would be to contact Greg Belman from Bache Audio and arrange a demo. I have been living with the Tribeca’s for just over 2 years and I’m enjoying my music more than ever. It’s a big, holographic, smooth sound that’s very coherent and... | |
| New Herron VTPH 2A versus used Audio Research Reference 2 Phono Yes the Herron is no longer made, which is a shame because it’s a fantastic phono stage. | |
| Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music? Harbeths are too colored for my taste. I agree. I demoed the M30.2’s a few times. Not for me. There’s a Youtube video where GR Research takes apart the small Harbeths. I couldn’t believe the crossover for a 2 way. It’s is made up of about 30 c... | |
| "Transferred from original analogue master tapes" I believe that it needs to say cut from the original master tapes to be all analog. Anything else could mean a digital transfer from the tape. | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver But re-selling is probably harder for all these lesser known brands, eh? I thought about that before I bought my Bache Audio Tribeca’s. However, I compared the Tribeca’s side by side in my room with speakers that cost slightly more. The Bache’s... | |
| Blue Circle Gear? I don’t have experience with their preamps but did own a BC-204 amp that had issues. I would cringe every time I turned the amp on because I sometimes I would hear a loud pop noise. | |
| Recommendations for tube preamp (Emotive Audio Sira) repair in the Raleigh/Durham NC area? I had a Sira in my system for a short period. When Fred released the Epifania I moved up to that. If you ever want to take your Sira up a few notches you should speak with Fred about the CuTf V-Caps and the autoformer volume control. My Epifani... | |
| High Fidelity Sound Speaker As a Bache Audio Tribeca owner, I don't understand why more manufacturers don't use so called "full range" drivers as midrange drivers. I sold my PK rebuilt Quad 57s after 14 years because I felt that the Tribeca's were more enjoyable. Prior to he... | |
| Capital Audio Fest Notes I drive my Bache Audio Tribeca's with Emotive Audio Vita monoblocks. These are extremely well designed tube amps using 6550 tubes for about 50 watts per side. I have also had nice results using Pass Labs amps. But, IME, these speakers sing beautif... | |
| Does anyone have info on Innotech D-24 loudspeakers designed by Shahinian? I have owned Shahinian speakers and have spent time at the shop listening to music with Richard. On different occasions Richard had played music through a pair of Innotechs and another speaker he had designed for ADS that never went into productio... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above @bfoura One of these days I probably will switch cartridges on both tables. The only cartridge that I used with both tables was the Cadenza bronze. To my ears it sounded slightly leaner with the SL-1210. | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above For years I contemplated upgrading from my Gyrodec. I really like it’s airy lively sound. Last year my local dealer had one available SL-1210GAE so I bought it. The first cartridge I used was an Ortofon Cadenza bronze. Now I’m using a Kiseki purpl... | |
| Tang Band 2145 in action I’m one of Greg’s customers. My Bache Audio Tribeca’s replaced a PK rebuilt pair of Quad 57’s. The Tang Band drivers in my speakers are modified by Greg and augmented by 2 woofers and a super tweeter. I can testify that the midrange in my speakers... | |
| USPS records delivery delays 3 months ago an LP I ordered was damaged in transit and sent back to the seller and another LP never showed up. 6 weeks ago I ordered a CD from a seller 20 miles away and tracking says it will be delivered later then expected. |
