| Experience with Cary SLP-30? I used to have one of these. I used it with a McIntosh SS amp and Klipsch LaScala speakers. I liked the Cary very much. Sounds like tubes, and I mean this in a good way. I sold the Cary and went to a Morrison ELAD. I later went back to a tube prea... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4.5 amp recommendations? It was an Audio Space Ref. 3 using the KT88 tubes. Albert is selling these in his showroom and he upgraded the caps in mine as he suggested. Albert says these amps have a special synergy with his speakers. At first I felt I had given up some bass,... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4.5 amp recommendations? I went through this same situation about three months ago. I called and spoke with Albert Von Schweikert and he recommended a tube integrated to me. I came from a class A SS amp and thought I wanted to stay with SS. I could not be more satisfied. ... | |
| Norah Jones a tinge short Whatever guys, you probably like alot of music I don't. Last year at Jazzfest in New Orleans, Norah sounded great. You may not care for her, but to say she has no talent is absurd. | |
| von Schweikert set up I have the VR4Sr. Setup was not that difficult. The owners manual is pretty good. I also used some information on the Cardas site. I played with the setup for a while and when I felt I had found the optimum placement for my room I then put the spi... | |
| Who else wants to keep their system secret? I hear you, but I think you, and sometimes I, are missing the point. Does it sound good to you? Does it sometimes affect you on an emotional level? Who gives a sh*t if your equiment is ever listed in the forums? If you watch the for sale forums he... | |
| Tired of Expensive Speaker Cable. Alternatives? You might want to look at Cobalt Cable. I have used their stuff for quite a while and have been happy. Super quality construction and very reasonable prices. I am not affiliated, just a satisfied customer. | |
| Online shopping for music Well if you are not looking for hard to find rare discs or the just released yesterday, I would recommend Yourmusic.com. Customer service can be slow, but they do respond. I have bought a lot of music here. | |
| How far would you drive to audition a component? This isn't really applicable to your question, but I live in NW Louisiana. Made a deal with a fellow in Washington DC to buy my Klipsch LaScala's. We agreed to meet in Chattanooga Tn. at the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel. I brought the speakers, he ... | |
| Best inexpensive interconnect/speaker cables? Check out Cobalt Cables. They are sold online only. I have used both their speaker and interconnects with good results. I am not affiliated just a satisfied customer. | |
| New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ??? I will second the positive opinion of the VR4SR. I too have the MkI version. I also spoke to A.VonSchweikert and was told the only reason for the MkII was a discontinued driver and the crossover had to be revoiced to match the originals. Fit and f... | |
| Future of CD's - Hard drive based music Sorry guys, I'm not ready to trust any harddrive as my only musical source. Your harddrive will fail. Not if, when. Now there is the backup consideration. How often, how many. Storage solutions are not a mature technology. Remember the Jazz drive?... | |
| Ayre CX7e vs. Meridain G08 I can't speak about the Ayre, but I am the proud new owner of a Meridian G08. I upgraded to this unit from a Shanling CDT100. If you have read the online reviews for the Meridian then I pretty much concur. However, I do not find the player lacking... | |
| What do I expect in a horn speaker system? Several years ago I had a set of Klipsch LaScala's driven by an older McIntosh SS amp. Midrange and highs were very good on good recordings. If your musical tastes run to strings, small quartets etc., you will be happy. But for me they did not wor... | |
| VSA VR4 SR or JR as a match to my system and room I too thought it funny when I did not hear back from VSA when requesting dealer locations. What I found out is they apparently forward your email address to the nearest dealer and it is up to the dealer to respond. This is what happened to me and ... |
