| Best system for ROMANCE Cindy, assuming you're buying new try the AH!Tjoebe CD player, Manley Stingray or Jadis Orchestra integrated amplifiers with Vandersteen 2Ce speakers and Cardas cross cables. Buy some of these used on Audiogon and you'll actually stay under $4000.... | |
| WOOLCOT AMPS - Anybody heard these? Albert, thanks for your post. I've been preoccupied with non audio elements lately. I would be very interested in your appraisal of the Wolcotts with the Vandersteen 5s. Despite what you might think I am seriously interested in these amps. Truth b... | |
| WOOLCOT AMPS - Anybody heard these? Albert, how could I know that a new rear-mounted speaker-variety selector switch and new wide-band transformer would be considered "options" and not evolutions? My apologies. I did not listen to the Wolcotts for 250 hours as you suggest and that c... | |
| The best and worst Audiogon poster's Tml2, point well taken. You have some great ideas but your presentation lacks grace. Proclaiming the "truth" then denouncing all nonbelievers as idiots is a stategy that has failed all religions, Audiophilia Grandioso included. Last time I checked... | |
| 6550 vs KT88 vs KT90 I love the treble and midrange of the EL-34 but find the bass unacceptably fat. I love the bass of the 6550C but not much more. Trelja, how does the bass and midrange of the KT-88 or KT-90 compare with the 6550C? | |
| WOOLCOT AMPS - Anybody heard these? With all due respect they are: WOLCOTT AUDIO PRESENCE mono block tube amplifiers, manufactured by Wolcott Audio Inc., 2250 N. Bigelow Ave., Simi Valley, CA 93065. | |
| The best and worst Audiogon poster's Tml2, you are one of the less credible posters on Audiogon, not because of your ideas, but because of your *ATTITUDE*. Whenever you have to put some(one)(thing) down to make your point, you really don't have one worth considering. Put your *IDEA* ... | |
| WOOLCOT AMPS - Anybody heard these? I heard an earlier version of the Wolcott at a dealer in southern Cailfornia who was auditioning them as a possible addition to his line. Though quite good, the "breakthrough" Wolcotts were no match for 3 top tier "conventional" tube amps, one clo... | |
| Anyone heard Svetlana KT-88s? Wow, finally some responses! Can someone comment on the bass of the Svetlana KT-88? I love the treble and midrange of my EL-34s but the bass is too fat (I like the bass of the 6550C much better). Does the KT-88 combine the best of both? | |
| Give the Oracle an 'arm... Sgh, IMO the Graham does indeed "neutralize" the Oracle somewhat and you may like that. My Oracle/Triplanar is certainly not the most accurate but I really like the way it sounds. I have tended to put more accurate cartridges in the arm but I'm su... | |
| home made speaker cable vs. the big boys Just a note. Hyperbole will destroy _____ (insert brand). Hyperbole is the biggest scam in the Audiophile community bar none. Hyperbole is for the guy who wants to brag about how little he spent (and how the rest of you are idiots). Hyperbole lets... | |
| Is there an alternate to Martin Logans? Does anyone seriously listen to MLs since the Fabio ad? I'm told the reQuests have been reVised reCently to inClude the dynamics of celebrity: accordingly they'll be called the rePulse. Don't you know the seQuel will be called the reTraction? Sure... | |
| Give the Oracle an 'arm... I have had several Oracle tables with various arms, now using MkV with Wheaton Triplanar V, one of my favorite combinations. Of the arms you mention, I'd go with the Wilson-Benesch Act 2.0. Sounds great, looks even better. Putting a Graham on an O... | |
| Best speakers for 2A3 SET amplifier? Phill, your last response belies your blood alcohol level: "I would NOT be satisfied with any NON-horn speaker of LESS than 100 dB..." Is that a double or triple negative? And you wonder if an opinion can be true or false? Just what SET 2A3 amp we... | |
| Talon Loudspeakers Phill, is 06896 your real zip code? If so, I take everything back I ever posted about "Joe". Will you adopt me? |
