| wilson I have 7's and have tried several amps. To my ears and a consences of other valued ears, 7's sound best with tubes. With good ss, the 7's do come alive at higher volumes but they also lack mid volume level "presence." The tube warmth tends to brin... | |
| What comes after CD`s? The best sound available is still vinyl. Digital is getting closer, maybe even comparable in the new formats but still lacks the "alive" sound of vinyl. | |
| Worth having my SOTA Sapphire refurbished? I had exactly what you ask about done recently. As mentioned, they do a great job and brought mine up to SeriesV (i think). I also went with an Origin arm and couldn't be happier. The rest of the system is mega-bucks and I find the Sota holds its ... | |
| Quad 57 stacked v Wilson watt puppy 6/7 I have owned Quad 63's, Yamaha ns1000's, and now have wp 7's. I am also familiar with Q 57's. Quite aside from the vitriol that some seem to relish towards Wilson, many reviewers OWN Wilson speakers as their reference. Can they all be so wrong? Al... | |
| Wilson Alexandria X2s in small room I find it interesting that people who have not heard the speakers give advice on what they sound like. I have set up X-2s in a comparably sized room with Maxx 2's for the rears. Couple of Wilson subs because the owner wanted them. Wilson surrounds... | |
| Has anyone heard the Denon 103-SA? Denon has always had an upscale cartridge that was mostly available in Japan or special order. I have been using one for years and it is more of the general values of the typical 103. There is quite a mystic quality to the buzz about these cartrid... | |
| Pass Labs x250.5 vs Sonic Frontiers Power 2 SE First call Chris at Parts ConXection who designed the SF gear. He has some upgrades that elevate the SF to new levels of performance. SF Power 2SE is still a reference amp but does have some new life left. | |
| mbl or levinson for wilson sophia Wilson has always been partial to ML and for a long time Dave Wilson voiced his new product with ML. He also used ML in his home system. The Sophias present an easy load to the amp. I am not familiar with mbl's claim to fame but do know you won't ... | |
| Yamaha NS-1000M The common wisdom calls for these speakers to be used with tube amps to minimise the "brightness" and give them more "life" than with ss. They have always been an exceptional speaker and I still enjoy them at a friends house. They are certainly th... | |
| Reel to reel deck -Talk me in or out of buying Having had several, I long ago realized that someone could make some serious money by offering a great looking front panel with lights. The rest of the electronic stuff could be eliminated to save weight and cost. The delux model could even have m... | |
| What Is Best Speaker for $8000 - $10,000, used ? Don't eliminate Wilson WattPuppy speakers. They do well in some difficult placements. Call Wilson for info. | |
| Tonearm for Sota Saphire Currently using the Denon that was about $1000.Denny | |
| How to get multichannel sound from a CD? An old technology that still works surprisingly well is the Yamaha DSP system in several different options. Rather than try to extract out of phase information, it uses a vast array of measured locations to recreate the enviornment of the listenin... |
