Any one else have this complaint?
Tim,My Kharma CE 2.2s weigh a 100-lbs each. The binding posts are 3.5 inches above the bottom edge of speakers and roughly 5-inches above the floor. They are on spikes, which rest on discs. I experience no problems in changing wires. I'm very surp... 
TRELJA in New York, 2002
I fully agree with TRELJA on Atma Sphere. I love OTLs, and although I've not heard the Atma Sphere before, I really had high hopes for their sound just based on all that I've read. I came out of the "Morris" room (Atma Sphere room) quite dissapoin... 
Any feedback on the NY Audio Show NYH?
I agree with Dolphin. The GamuT/Pipedream was among the best sounding rooms. I just can't believe the size of this amp, it's looked like a small vehicle. The Merlins/Joule sounded a bit thin for some reason - could be tracks they had on. Overall t... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Thanks Bradz. To Asa again - I don't own any Virtual Dynamics PCs. I use all "Absolute Powercords", these are your basic hospital-grade powercords marketed by GTT Audio. The only exception is my "Air-Tight ATM-2" amp, it comes with a (mine did any... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Asa, I don't follow you, what is a "Virtual PC"? 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Rockhead, Fiddler & others: Infact I just sold my old preamp, meaning, I'm without a preamp altogether until the Supratek arrives. I'm lucky because I use a "Air Tight ATM-2" for an amp which allows for a line-level source i.e., CD player, dir... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
On our last exchange (May 4) Mick said it would be another 5-6 weeks, maybe sooner. 
Energy, Environment & High End Audio
I listened to Rogue 120 Magnum, Cary V12, VTL model?, Musical Fidelity model? The rogue was an easy pick from this line up. However, I ended up with a AirTight ATM-2 -- on a 8-ohm 89-db speakers, similar to your ProAc if I'm not mistaken -- very n... 
Techno Anyone?
Here are some downtempo, lounge-beat compilations I find really cool that are not overly electronic -- all the "Bhudha Bar" (there are 5 to 6 double-CDs out by now) cds are great. Several "Hotel Costes" mixes produced by Stephane Pompougnac, these... 
Need Recommendations for Amp/Pre or Integrated
I had a pair of Tyler Accoustic Ref. Monitors. These speakers did not sound good (no air, felt as if there were layers or filters on the sound) with my tube gear (Graaf GM20 OTL amp, Graaf 13.5B preamp, Copland 289 HDCD, FMS cables). In comparison...

Best female vocals on CD
Hi Gunbei - I received the CDs yesterday. One thing for sure, the sound quality is great in all of them. But for my more big city, upbeat and funky taste, they all seemed too much of an aquired taste, too moody. "Songbird" Eva Cassidy - nice but w... 
"RECORDING OF THE WEEK"?????
I know this is not place but perhaps there are 1 or 2 more wonderers like myself -- A couple of new CDs, one is called "Verve Remixed" and the other "Sounds from Verve hi-fi". These are new "clubsy" remixes of old masters (ie: N Simone, B Holiday,... 
"Search Option" suggestion for AudioGon
Ozfly - sorry I did NOT mean searches at this "Discussion Forum". I was talking more about "search functions" associated with the "for sale" pages, the main bread and butter pages. 
Lower gain in left channel.
Update - just wanted to report that ALL IS WELL once again...the loss of right gain is NO LONGER. It might have been a "newbee" problem. I've only had 1.5 year of experience with my tube amp (first tube gear). Upto now I've only been resetting the...
