| New Stereophile format Just got mine yesterday after returning from vacation and I was surprised to see it. I'm still undecided, I can understand the need for the occasional graphic refreshment in any sort of pring publication but it seems to be make the mag a bit harde... | |
| The Lector CD Player- Opinions? Krell_man,I think you might be confusing Lector and Vecteur. I checked enjoythemusic and found no Lector reviews but two Vecteur reviews. The Lector is an Italian top-loader that HP raved about a few issues ago. If I'm wrong my apologies. | |
| Why haven't we heard more about HR-X??? FWIW this table was glowingly reviewed by Roy Gregory in HiFi+ magazine and was even one of their products of the year for last year. | |
| Crossover mods and speaker efficiancy? Mitch,Who performed these mods and how much was it? It sounds like a very worthwhile investment and since my Alon's use outboard crossovers it would probably not be difficult to access them, but I'm completely non-handy so I would need someone to ... | |
| RS Cable Solid Silver Interconnects Larry,I just recently got a pair of the Illumine` interconnect with Eichmann Bullet RCA plugs. I must say the cable is excellent. Fabulous transparency as you would expect from silver but no glare or harshness. Just a clear window on the music and... | |
| New Wilco... Impressions? My local record store said they wouldn't have it until next week! I'll have to get back to you. By the way, what's it called? | |
| Krell Reliability? Tomer,I'm sorry to hear about your bad experiences with Krell, it seems to be unusual from what I can tell. As far as I go I've been posting on Audiogon for over 3 years and if you check my postings you'll see I certainly don't work for Krell I ju... | |
| Krell Reliability? I have to say that I've heard of folks not liking Krell sound but I've heard nothing negative about the reliability of their products. In addition I at one time owned a KPS30i cd player that I bought used, and not only did it operate flawessly, bu... | |
| audio research dac I'm not familiar with it but I'm pretty sure it's not tubed. AR makes tube gear obviously but I'm their digital stuff is all solid state to the best of my knowledge. If you're looking for a tubed dac you should look elsewhere. Good luck! | |
| Will improperly biased amp and preamp affect sound I would say that my experience is similar to Derrick's, my Cary 300B mono's distorted in the high frequency when the bias had wandered a bit. A quick and easy fix though. As far as preamps I've never had a preamp that needed to be biased so I can'... | |
| TV's... what does the typical audiophile have? 27" Phillips in the living room for watching baseball (let's go O's), college basketball (go Terps and go Orange, Md native and Syracuse alum), and the occasional program, Sopranos, Deadwood, Coupling, The Daily Show. My better half has a 25" Pana... | |
| RIP Ray Charles I'm deeply saddened by his passing. Ray Charles transcends music, he is/was a national treasure. | |
| Does Your System Sound Like the Real Thing? Would you really want it? Have you ever been in a room where someone was playing drums? Or practicing sax? Maybe you like listening loud but I think many people underestimate exactly how loud it would be to have even a three piece jazz band playin... | |
| Trelja- announcement and disclaimer Joe,Speaking as someone who knows you solely from your postings here you seem like an honest and honorable guy. Your involvement with Fried should not in any way preclude you from posting here, if you did we would all be the lesser off for it. You... | |
| Above and beyond..... Great story! I bought a cd player from Peter a year or two ago and he was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I'm glad to hear he's even better than I thought. I too am constantly impressed and delighted with the quality of people I meet and deal w... |
