| Affordable GaN FET amp from Peachtree Audio I would like to ask for some help. I have a Gan1 and Bluesound on order. I don't stream music yet and just want to use my beautiful Jay's Audio CD Transport. The trouble is, it only has AES/EBU, RCA, BNC and I2s on HDMI for outputs and the Nod... | |
| Best high end monitors? Wow, doesn't anybody recognize that tweeter on the High Emotion monitor.It's on thousands of Radio Shack speakers. It's the Lineaum tweeter invented by Paul Paddock. It's a great tweeter too. | |
| Any insight with the Berkeley Alpha DAC ..?? I'm running a Wadia 270SE transport into my AlphaDac and then into an integrated tube amp driving my Trios.It's the best my system has ever sounded. | |
| Best sound at RMAF This was my second year and here are my picks. I refuse to list a speaker that doesn't have adequate bass response to be realistic to what's recorded. 1. Acapella Triolons2 Scaena line array plus subs3 Thiel 3.7 4 Sunny Cables horn speakers5 Mark ... | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? So correct me if I'm wrong here. Everyone knows that hard drives can fail and degrade over time. But does a CD ? Isn't optical storage way more stable over time? | |
| Gallo 5LS prototype towers at the CES I talked to the company and they had the prototypes there and were playing them. With this being such a potential world class speaker I am shocked nobody has written what it sounded like. | |
| Avantgarde Trios, SETs, and Impedance Curves I have the curve if anyone is interested. It has two peaks of 38ohms at 90hz and 65ohms at 950hz. It's about 9ohms at 10K hz and is faily flat from 8k out to 20k.jls3od@theglobalnet.net | |
| Avantgarde Trios, SETs, and Impedance Curves I have Trio Omegas with double and now I'm using triple 225 subs. At first I used a Berning Siegfried and it was wonderful except for the huge turn on and off thump it had. It's not sensitive to impedance like most OTL's or SE amps. Now I have som... | |
| Best CDs for vocals? Jane Monheit's CD, Come Dream With Me First Cut, "Over The Rainbow". Finest female vocal cut I have ever found. She is in the room with you. | |
| Avantgarde..... Still a contender??? I second Lukestr. I have had Sound Lab A-1's, Quad 63 and numerous box speakers. Never has a speaker changed my enjoyment of recorded music like my Trios. They should call Horn speakers "Dynamic" speakers because that is what they do to music. The... | |
| Heard the $325000 Acapella's Sphaeron excaliburs? Duane, the plasma tweeter in the Acapella's is not a compression driver. Go to the Avantgarde website and learn why they don't use compression drivers either. Horn doesn't always mean compression drivers. But compression drivers done well sound gr... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I have an unused Cortese if you don't want to wait and would like to save some money. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Avantgarde Trios, tough to beat good horn systems if you like the true dynamic range of music and not the possibly more "accurate" but compressed sound of most high end speakers. | |
| CES 2004 Best of Show I liked the Mantra speakers a lot, but then I own Trios and am somewhat horn biased. The Pearls were very nice, I see why they get lots of votes. The TADS were maybe the most impressive box speakers I have ever heard, but they should be for the pr... | |
| best transport for Audiomeca Enkianthus DAC The Theta Data 3 transport is built like a tank and I know a number of people who think it's the best sounding transport. Being built to spin a laser disc makes it way over engineerd for CD use and that never hurts, look at the best turntables in ... |
