| OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything? Berning lovers, including myself, it's not worth arguing with him, who apparently doesn't care for the sound. | |
| Best sounding room at CES 2003 Has someone visited Burmester room? I am not sure how serious it was, but it was on the exhibitor list. Just out of curiosity as no one so far mentions it. | |
| Audio Notes new KSL, are you famailiar with these First, I haven't tried those KSLs myself. But I have owned and still love both SPz and Vz in my system. The most probable reasons for new series are (1) run out of original AN SPz and Vz cable stocks (I know I am the one who took the last portion ... | |
| Best Portable CD Player There is an "NOS" Discman no eBay. SONY DT25. I have one, and it is far superior to other modern portables, to my ears. It can drive higher impedance HPs easily. Check it out. | |
| Separates vs. Integrated My 2 cents. I would recommed you get a very nice power amp, and a passive pre. Money spent -> 80% for power amp, and 20% for passive.Unless you have more than a few components to play and you value the convenience of not pulling cables whenever... | |
| Finger Print Removal on Aluminum Faceplates Kind of related question to someone out there. I often see thin plastic film attached to LED window when a NEW electronics equipment is sold, obviously to protect from scratch while transportation. I wonder whether that kind of film, or other form... | |
| Transformer coupled / Capacitor coupled JC, sorry about my confusion. I guess I am not only half-deaf, but half-blind.Thanks for explanation. Now I understand the difference. BUT, still wonder whether it is just a matter of avoiding impedance mismatch, or something more? I mean, I have ... | |
| Is there an integrated amp that can beat my... Berning ZH270. Not exactly an "Integrated", but has two inputs and volume control (no phono). If you want to try tube sound, this is an excellent one for $4500 listed. | |
| Burmester 001, comment please? 914nut,Wow, please please keep me posted! I am really looking forward to your impressions. Please elaborate the functionality also, easy to use or clumsy or ?. My presumption is that German-made is truely built like a tank. | |
| Your thoughts on J. Atkinsons Chord DAC review...? I'd agree with Kthomas. Audiophiles are funny, as sometimes they critisizes those reviews "biased by ad revenue", and sometimes (read: now) "should write more rosy review about X".Review is just review, not your parents or teacher/mentor or GOD. J... | |
| Burmester 001, comment please? 914nut and Justacoder, thanks for your valuable input. Makes me wonder what Burmester has on its mind for marketing strategy in US. Dinan, thanks for your complete response. I am impressed and even more intrigued by 001. I see you have a lot of ex... | |
| consensus on passive preamps? I have FT-Audio LW1. Much better than with pre, which adds noise and veil as well as bass. I now use Cary 306/200 with ANALOG volume option, and connect directly to the amp. Similar, but more convenient than having passive, as I have only one sour... | |
| Best CD player directly to Amp? I don't know about the "best", but Cary 306/200 with remote volume option does the job. Listed $5500, but you can get a lot less than $5000. To my ears, in my system, sounds great. | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 Well, Twl, may I join the club? Mine arrived the day before yesterday. Unfortunately, I have been pretty busy these days, and did a few hours listen only. So far, it sounds very good. Hope to report more later. Ken | |
| Berning ZH270 + AP Virgos = magic? If I may add, imagine a Ph.D. of Physics assembling the amp for you.Tubegroover, thanks to you, I heard from Allan that mine is to be shipped early next week. I will definitely report to you. |
