| Alternatives to Revel Studios? In the second to the last paragraph, I inadvertantly wrote the word... "avoid" the Eidolon Diamonds. It should have been "afford". (That is what comes from writing while one has a cold I suppose.) Sorry for the confusion. | |
| Alternatives to Revel Studios? Steve01s4To answer your questions:I think the Lamm's would work acceptably with the Eidolons. I looked at the specs for the Lamm's and it apears that they have 200 wpc at 4 ohms, which is what the Eidolons (and the Studios) both have. (The RM9s wo... | |
| Alternatives to Revel Studios? I understand your love for the Studios, as I have them too.I think that your RM9's were not really powerful enough for the Studios, which is why you felt something was lacking. (I started out with a Levinson 27 (100wpc) and when I went up to the L... | |
| Regrets, I've had a few... None.I still have every album and every CD I ever cared about.(And a whole bunch I don't care about.)I can count on one hand the number of albums, cassettes and CDs I have gotten rid of. None of which I even care to mention. (Like Styx, Yuch! Sorr... | |
| Budget speaker selection help My brother in law just bought some used Thiel CS.5 speakers. They are pretty small floorstander, and yet sound pretty decent for the money. (Not a lot of bass, but they image well and the frequency response is pretty flat.) You could do worse that... | |
| Budget speaker selection help My opinion is that the Paradigm Titans are better sounding than the Atoms, and only a few bucks more. The Atoms, while possibly having a flatter frequency response, have very little bass response. (I.e. almost none really).I prefer the Titans beca... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood Sig. v Koetsu Rosewood SigPlat I suggest you check out 10audio.com. Jerry does a really nice job of reviewing 5 Koetsu cartridges, from the Black, all the way up to the Rosewood Signature Platinium.FYI: The output of the RSP is about 0.2 mv, as opposed to the RWS which is about... | |
| Jim Capaldi RIP. Wow! Really sad day for Rock n' Roll!C123666, I was at that show as well.A very good show as I recall! | |
| My current Benz-Micro ACE low or Koetsu Black? I upgraded from the Benz Micro Glider 2 (the next step up from the ACE) to the Koetsu Black.I felt it was a worth while upgrade myself, however, I will point out that there were trade offs.First, the Koetsu takes at least twice as long to break in... | |
| $2000 budget -- what to buy? Your plan sounds decent, although I am not that familar with some of those components.My brother-in-law was in the same boat a month or two ago, and this is what he got.Basis 1400 turntable, w/RB 300 arm. - (used $850)Grado Gold (new $125)Thule Sp... | |
| How can you take a warp out of a LP? Well, you can either spend the big bucks ($1,700, I believe) to buy this machine which is designed to eliminate warps, http://www.amusicdirect.com/products/detail.asp?cat=&sku=AAIRTIGHTDT01Or, you can find somebody, or some business, who has t... | |
| Causes of long term listening fatigue? I pretty much agree with Elizabeth, especially since you stated that your preferences are for listening at low volume levels.However, I will give you my opinion on speakers for low level listening, since you appear to be shopping for them at the m... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? I use a Resolution Audio Opus 21, as does my friend.(So count that as two votes!) | |
| Audio Aero Prima vs. Resolution Audio Opus 21 Mijknarf is correct. It is no problem.Using the DIN output just removes one more device from the sound chain, and since I use a preamp anyway, it just makes more sense (for me anyway) to avoid going through the volume control. | |
| shipping heavy speakers oversea I will state that when the Revel Studios I bought were sent to me via a trucking company, they were on a small pallet. Both speakers were not only wrapped to each other, but were wrapped to the pallet as well.Therefore, I HIGHLY recommend that you... |
