| Speakers to mate with Mac MC402 under $5k A couple years ago, I used a Mac 6500 integrated with my Usher 8871 (Mk I) floorstanders. The sound was sublime; I sold the amp due to its lack of ultimate power with large-scale classical in my large room. If not for that I would still be enjoyin... | |
| The Most Beautiful Song of The RnR era? Several songs from Neil Young's 'Decade', Leonard Cohen: "to the end of love", S&G: "Kathy's song", Van Morrison: "Madame George". | |
| Better off not being seen Forgot to mention, speaking of the Krall... try watching her in DeLovely. OMG, what a fright! | |
| Better off not being seen Speaking of Eagles, there was a Don Henley concert that was so bad we cried. Not only did he phone it in, he used a tin can to do so! We shut off after 2 songs.Thankfully I have forgotten the name of that miscreation.Also have to admit I shut off ... | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 WC65mustang, agree 100%. To airily dismiss the disclaimer after being called out is being disingenuous and misleading. It is quite one thing for an argument in favor of a component to come from an amateur/enthusiast and another for a dealer/mfg/di... | |
| Primaluna Two : cables, tube rolling ... {Shrug} Do you listen to what they are supposed to sound like or what *they* sound like? I have heard them on the PL2 and they were a very significant improvement in every area. If they were labeled as similar to something you recognized would tha... | |
| Primaluna Two : cables, tube rolling ... Although no longer an owner of the PL2, which I enjoyed until upgrading, I still have, and will sell, some power tubes that raised the performance appreciably. These are GT (Groove Tube) KT88s of early '90s vintage. I have one quad with very littl... | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 To those who have both Druid and Definition, allow me to state the obvious assumption (hopefully true), that any comparisons you make are done in the same room with otherwise identical equipment, etc. As bass response is very much the issue here a... | |
| do yoy always have to pay full price? I believe Tweeter now sells M-L. Sometimes they may have open box or discounts on new. | |
| Velodyne DD: 10 or 12? Hard to swallow but I am still on the fence. I spoke with someone at Velodyne and he said something along the lines of "10 and 12 are toys". I believe this has been mentioned before on AA or here so no secret if I say that. How much if this is mar... | |
| Best redbook player for under $1000 Second the Quad 99 cdp. Had the Jolida and Consonance. The Quad is many steps ahead of Jolida, particularly in detail, which is the weak point of the Jolida. Until you hear good resolution you don't know what you are missing. (although more $, the... | |
| Epos LS3 or Wharfedale Diamond 9.1? Well I am intrigued now by this SB2/SB3 thing... is there a noticeable difference in performance if one does not care about bass extension of the monitor? (using sub). | |
| Speakers for Primaluna 3/5 Well it is time you stated how much you want to spend. So far 11,327 speakers match your description. :-) | |
| Velodyne DD: 10 or 12? Thanks again, guys... getting close now... I have a specific question. My mains go down to 40 hz... is this overkill for such speakers? I am also confused by the 80 hz crossover point as mentioned in reviews. Does this mean that if my mains have a... | |
| Epos LS3 or Wharfedale Diamond 9.1? Thanks Armstrod. I *am* using a receiver, but it does not suffer from brightness; in fact, some users have claimed it has a tube-like sound in the top end, which I do not dispute. (JVC F10). Am also using a BG Radia (Z1?) center speaker with a rib... |
