| AntiCables v. Morrow? Bought AC for speakers and Morrow MA1 interconnects. Installed the ICs first. Breakin has been hairy as sound has been all over the place from initially sounding good to becoming brittle and biting then smoothing out some. Have to wait to see how ... | |
| You're selling that? But you just got it My wife has heard the super high end equipment I lust for...Mcintosh, Wilson,Maggies,Revel etc while visiting the inlaws in DE...Overture is just down the street. Her take though is "just buy it, spend it once and youre done....you never have to s... | |
| Grant Green's version of 'Round About Midnight Check out Grant Greens Best of and Idle Moments as well. Both quite good for GG depending whether you want to go shallow or deep into his stuff.Burrell is awesome on pretty much anything he hsa done from solo, trio stuff to the great Ellingtonia s... | |
| Exposure 2010Sv NAD 375BEE Worth comparing?? FWIW Stereophile named the Exposure as a Class A unit. NAD wasnt even close. NAD will deliver much more power but nowhere near the clarity. If you want a HP capability better to simply buy a HP amp. You can get a decent one for $300...Creek, Music... | |
| CJ preamps? Thanks for all the input. I dont need a tt for this system. I had never heard a tube pre b4 and liked the sound of it although I understand that the sound of the early models in this series sound different than the later ones. Not sure if I would ... | |
| Rega Mira 3 or Exposure 2010s???? Noone has answered the question regarding the differences btwn these 2 integrateds? I am curious myslef as I am looking at the same ones to use either as a preamp in the ST then later as an integrated in a second system. Music would be everything ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I dont think walls are the issue here. They are 20 inches from the front wall and 4-5 feet from the side wall. The room is pretty bright as there are windows to the side and behind me nearly floor to ceiling. I also get more highs when I use the e... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I have them setup per the "manual" with the tweeters oriented to the listener and the boxes more than 1/2 in front of the rack to the side of each speaker. I havent tried orienting them out. That could be interesting. The placement ahead of the ra... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? 3 months into ownership have just upgraded the amp to an ATI 1502 @150 wrms per channel fed by an SAE preamp with Parametric eq. Definittely an improvement from the MAC 5100 and the old SAE amp which sounded pretty good anyway. Straight thru the O... | |
| Cambricge 840v2 vs NAD 372? as interim amp Thx for all the input. I am going to investigate the Peachtree and the new Nad. I live in Hawaii so I cant hear any of these so is a bit of a crapshoot but I figure that if I choose something that has good reviews on a broad basis I shoudl be ok. ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Marty, thanks for the Underwood lead. I will check them out. I am in Hawaii so its still a phone call and freight but some good used equipment is fine.I understand the 45 wpc comment. I think the old Mac MA 5100 is actually doing a decent job at l... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman, Thanks for the defintion on the whole current thing...I was just about to write looking for that when you explained how to look at it. All this discussion is making me think I need to come up with an interim solution on the power side. I a... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? My Walshs are retrofitted with the 100s3 transducers so per John S they are like buying a 100S3. I am guessing that part of the issue will be electronics. John felt I would be ok with the Mac but at 45 WRMS its just at the low end of what the pape... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Well after reading this for months I pulled the trigger on some Walsh 2s then had them refitted by Ohm. Set them up yesterday right next to my Ohm C2s. Very interesting. Not blowing me away out of the box but definitely good stereo separation, bot... | |
| Best floorstanders under $600 I would check out the Silverline Preludes presently on agon for $625...a step ahead of the ones you are refenceing. maybe you can get a better deal. |
