| Best West Los Angeles Audiophile Shops? I second Ambrosia. David has strong opinions, but hasn't steered me wrong. I've purchsed a few things there over the years. Also, GNP (Pasadena location only -- extensive selection, good stuff) and Optimal Enchantment (limited selection, but good ... | |
| Amp For Kinergetics SW800 s Sean, what you are saying about bridging into low impendance makes sense. Also, I forgot about Perreaux. I remember these from my Apogee days -- never owned them but two of my partners in crime did. Don't remember the specific models but they drov... | |
| Amp For Kinergetics SW800 s Yeah, Doug, I do need lira for my cross and serpent "dependents". Today's project is to remove the Euro pipes and put the cat back on -- registration time again.I don't doubt that the old Adcom can drive these puppies, and that's where I'll start.... | |
| Speaker Cable Length Thanks for the feedback, all. I've picked up a lot of information that I either wasn't aware of or hadn't thought about. At the end of the day I guess it still comes down to trying different cables. At least I have more to go on now. Thanks again. | |
| Amp For Kinergetics SW800 s Thank for reminding me, Gasman. I happen to have that TAS issue but haven't referred to it for these speakers. I had been primarily relying on Jack English's 1992 review which gave very specific informantion regarding set up.Gary, are you using th... | |
| Speaker Cable Length Thanks for all of the advice, guys. Much to ponder and play with. And, I suspect more money going out to see if there's any difference in my system.Redkiwi, I'm running 15 foot Audioquest Midnight from a Mesa Baron to CLS's. I'm also wondering abo... | |
| Speakers for ARC REF.1 pre amp, VT200 amp Anything that floats your boat. You have a superb pre/poweramp combination that will drive anything you like. I auditioned the VT200 with my difficult to drive Martin Logan CLS's and it sounded great. Get out here and listen to as many speaker des... | |
| New Visitor Confused Over Upgrade Detlof, don't know if you are pulling *my* leg know, but here it goes nonetheless. Note the reference to hair growth on the palm and think auto-erotica. Here in the colonies we call yobbos like Peter &*#!-off's. Please don't ask me to define "... | |
| New Visitor Confused Over Upgrade Peter, do you have a lot of hair growing on the palm of your hand? Thought so. As they say on your side of the pond, you're a real wanker. | |
| Freak Me Out "Tokyo Trashville" is fun. Compilation of various Japanese bands, mostly guitar based but very diverse in sound. Scary to the Western ear. (Most famous is "Guitar Wolf".) Great sexy, skanky cover, too. A voluptuous dream woman -- with an ass and l... | |
| Keeping cables off the floor So true, Dekay. | |
| Keeping cables off the floor Dekay, the place I go to is on Colorado Blvd in the mostly industrial part of Santa Monica (times, they are a changin' ever since Sony moved in, though). Can't remember the name, just know how to get there. Maybe we're on to something. The napkin ... | |
| Digital Smear??? Second post better reflects my opinion. In retrospect, I would not -- could not -- use a nail gun and two by fours on this character. On the other hand, I would not -- could not -- blame the dealer for doing so. Who am I to judge ;-) | |
| Digital Smear??? Disagree, Liz. This clown has visited his "local dealer of ten years" yet has not purchased a single piece of equipment from them. His "dealer of ten years"? What is that. Is this the audio equivalent of the public library? Sorry, but this guy is ... | |
