| Richard Kern Modified XA777ES SACD Review - long Nice review. Thank you.I too have heard the fine work that Richard does. He improved an SCD-1 for me with some of his earlier mods and the changes were not subtle.Enjoy it!!! | |
| ARC preamp compatible with Classe amps? They combine fairly well. I think it is much better than using the Classe preamp. Other good choices would be the BAT VK50SE, CAT or Aesthetix.Do not limit yourself to just those speaker choices. There are plenty of other choices for speakers that... | |
| Correct turn on, turn off sequence???? Amps go on last and off first. Frankly, I would never turn any of your equipment off. | |
| Anything exciting at CES? Thank you Albert, my mistake. I know how good that room should and could have sounded, that is why it upset me so much.They should demo at your house next year.... Chez Porter! | |
| Anyone heard the Acapella Campanile or Violin? As nice as they were at THE Expo, I really think a bigger room would have done them more justice. I think they sounded gorgeous; lush and delicate. I would have preferred more "life", but found them quite appealing sonically. I also like that they... | |
| Anything exciting at CES? Tireguy: Not me, but every story has a happy ending :)Justacoder: I wish you would have introduced yourself to me, I would have enjoyed meeting you. BTW, Since I stopped using the Extrema's, my electric bill halved. :) | |
| Anything exciting at CES? Lornecherry: I thought the Acapella's were very lush and polite sounding. The Audio Aero amps provided more than enough power for them. Really nice sound, just a different sound than I want in my listening room. I could easily see the sonic appeal... | |
| High power tube integrated? What speakers are you looking to drive? | |
| Pros / Cons of Vacuum Option - Basis Debut V I agree with the above posts. Although the records appear flat, I am sure they are not. I would bet the vacuum would improve your sonics quite a bit. | |
| OTL amps with Wilson Watt/Puppy 6s Rlennan: Which version WATTs do you have?I have heard the Wilson Watt Puppy 6's with Atma-sphere MA1 MKII.2's, MA2 MKII.2's and the Tenor 75 Wi. They all played beautifully. You can clip the lower power OTL amps at over 100db with the WP 6's, but ... | |
| How are the Classical music XRCDs? I think they are all very good. They appear to be the old Mercury recordings remastered. At times a few of them may sound a bit in your face, but I overlook that because I really like the majority of the sonics and certainly love the performances.... | |
| Which SET amp to buy? I have heard George Wright's amplifiers and was quite impressed. They definitely get my vote.The amps I heard were dead quiet. | |
| Best thread poster for 2001? I have to go with Kelly as well. Just when I least expect it, his twisted sense of humor drops me to the floor. Tireguy: Thank you!Sc53: I would love to take the credit for that, but I am pretty sure you are talking about Tekunda. I agree with you... | |
| What to see at the CES show? CFB: It is a shame, because I was planning on buying you a lobster dinner. :) | |
| Which speakers do the hologram thing? I have heard a number of speakers do this very well. The Piega's, Avalon's, Kharma's and Rockport's are a few that do an incredible job at 3-D imagry. |
