| HELP with my Audio Aero Capitole Mk II Just for general information: in response to MeJames' request, we also found out that these pin assignments are the I.E.C. 268 standard pin assignments for XLR - which is used by 99% of the components out there. We also used a voltmeter on the XLR... | |
| Speakers/Cables to go w/ Audio Aero and McIntosh While talking with the designer of the Audio Aero CD player output stage at CES he *very strongly* urged people to use a balanced interconnect from the CD player to a preamp or amplifier. We currently use RCA, because that is what we have, and it ... | |
| CD getting as good as LPs - recommendations We agree with Seandtaylor99 that the Decca Legend CDs are fantastic - and we have a very high resolution system (Audio Aero Capitole mk II, Lamm L2, Edge Signature monoblocks, Valhalla, Shunyata Anacondas, Acapella Campanile Highs). The CDs are al... | |
| HELP with my Audio Aero Capitole Mk II If you haven't already been contacted by the other 10 Audio Aero dealers on Audiogon, please feel free to email us and we'll find out what those pin mappings are for you.- Mike (Audio Federation) | |
| Lamm or Edge solid state ? We are both Lamm and Edge dealers. Our reccomendation would be to bi-amp with two pairs of Lamm M1.1 monoblocks (like that heard with the Kharma Exquisites to good effect at CES 2002) or to use Edge Signature Monoblocks. Both of these configuratio... | |
| Innersound - Relocated? They join other excellent companies here (Ayre, Boulder, Teres (next door in Broomfield), Avalon and, previously, Edge). There is a rumour that InnerSound is also going to be showing their stuff in a new high-end retail establishment soon to open ... | |
| Compare EDGE NL10, Pass Labs X350, ML 336 I've heard the Aleph 3 and the X-600. Yep, the Edge is that much better. Do yourself a favor when you are next in amp-upgrade mode and audition one (or a pair).-Mike (Audio Federation) | |
| What amps do you use with your Revel Salons/Studio The best I have heard the Revel Salons sound was with the Halcros at CES 2002. There was a top to bottom rightness about the sound, though still somewhat cold and lifeless. The Halcros and Salons had a kind of calm synergy, like two old friends me... | |
| amp & preamp for acapella violon Cool! Violin High Subs are awesome speakers.Sorry I must have missed this post last month - but your Violins are going to be still breaking in for awhile yet. Unfortunately, your Audio Aero Prestige monoblocks are the only amps I have heard of tha... | |
| Better Amps For Talon Khorus CAT JL2 or Tenor 75? Hey! I think those pyrimids are awesome looking! Anybody with ears can see, I mean anyone with eyes can see they are so modern and cool... :-) I really do think that are a work of art. I think it is easier to agree on what sounds good than what lo... | |
| Better Amps For Talon Khorus CAT JL2 or Tenor 75? That is a pretty darn convincing argument, Mike - though one *could* point out that those solidstate amps (the Levinson 33 and Halcro) are two of the more laid back and boring (Oops, I mean neutral :-) monoblocks out there (compared to the sweet A... | |
| Better Amps For Talon Khorus CAT JL2 or Tenor 75? For what it is worth, I agree 100% with Mike at Father & Son Audio. I heard both Talon rooms at CES - and they more or less sounded exactly as he described them (I did not bother to report on the Joule Electra room in our trip report - the sou... | |
| Amp Choice for Acapella Campaniles Hi Fred,It'll be interesting to hear how the JC-1s evolve over time. It is too bad we are so far apart (well, not that far in the overall scheme of things...) that we can't visit and hear each others systems without a lot of effort. Someday though... | |
| Compare EDGE NL10, Pass Labs X350, ML 336 I'll take a stab at answering your question, if I may. I am an Edge dealer and still personally own the Levinson 390S CD player and 20.6 monoblocks and have listened to the 331 thru 333 series many times and it's successors the 334-336 series a nu... | |
| Our 2003 Las Vegas CES and T.H.E. Show Report Not being an exhibitor, my guess is that they become ubiquitous for a combination of both reasons: the exhibitor wants them (because they are known to produce a good 'show sound') and they either own them already or ask for them. And, conversely, ... |
