| Lyra Titan i on Basis Vector 4 experience? I have tried several cartridges with the Vector and my favorite is the ZYX low output copper coils. Just killer on the Vector. | |
| Audio Research REF 3 Mitch what is the difference in sound between the Mark 2 and the Ref 3. If the sound becomes leaner, more dynamic and quieter, I am not interested. The mark 2 is lean enough. | |
| Preamp Experiences with Atma-sphere Amps I tried my friends Atmasphere preamp (its there 15,000.00 one) with my VTL 450 monoblocks in balanced mode. I could not use it because it created a lot of hum. I am using a Audio Research Ref 2 mark 2 in balanced mode and it sounds wonderful. I ha... | |

| Aesthetix Callisto and Io Eclipse The new Io and Eclipse were prototypes. The real ones will be made soon. I think Jim said they wont be available until March. He uses better parts in these and the cosmetics are different. By the way the less expensive Io Signature cannot be updat... | |
| iPod vs CD: WSJ CES Was B the ipod or the cd player. | |
| Whats your "best of CES 2008" Roger Sanders new Innersound was one of the best. King Sound electrostatic speaker from China was great. Evolution acoustics was good. Vandersteen 5A was good. Burmeister had boomy bass. Magico was terrible. | |
| Manley vs VTL?? David lives in France now. There was a rumor that he would once again start manufacturing amplifiers. Under what name your guess. Shaun from ESP loudspeakers also is near him and they are good friends that may have a venture together. |
