| New Stereophile format Btw, when I gave the statistics on the number of Fermer's reviews, I was looking at the semi-annual "recommended components" issues, the last year or so. | |
| New Stereophile format It is ok, I suppose.I just wish the content of Stereophile were better.I used to subscribe to Stereophile back in the early '90s, and the magazine was by far, one of the best audio magazines published.Now, it seems to be merely middle of the back,... | |
| Who u gots da most uv??? Beatles. Between the original albums, the collections, the Anthologies, the bootlegs, I must have everything at least once on vinyl (In most cases I have them two or three times for different pressings), and once more on CD. Actually, I am surpris... | |
| Looking to better my redbook action.... Sam,Sorry if I confused you. The Opus 21 was used, albeit in great condition, (and fully updated as well). Yes the retail is still $3,500. | |
| Tube amp for Avalon Eidolon ? A friend of mine has tried four different tube mono-block amps with his Eidolons (also not the diamonds). I got to listen to them all luckily enough for me!I will list them in the order tried.1. Kora Cosmos. Great sound, but way too little power a... | |
| Looking to better my redbook action.... If you can stretch you budget just a bit up to $2,000 or so, you can get a Resolution Audio Opus 21 cd player.(I just picked one up for $2,200 delivered.) It is an incredible player. It brings me much closer to the music than either of my Sony ES ... | |
| anyone know actual output of mark levinson 27.5? It is rated at 100 wpc.However, the review of the 27 (not the 27.5), stated that it measured closer to 140 wpc before they clipped.) This is based on my memory of the review that I read a few months ago, before I sold my 27. (Funny enough, I sold ... | |
| Upgrading from KRC3: ARC LS25 or JRDG Synergy IIi? Have you considered the Ayre K-1x preamp?It is a fully balanced design.(It has 3 balanced and 3 single ended inputs, as well as balanced and single ended outputs).I find it is very transparent, with great frequency response. Not as liquid as a tub... | |
| Europeans vs. the U.S.A. I think you forgot about Mark Levinson (as well as Krell) by the way. The Revel line of speakers is an offshoot of Mark Levinson, as both are under the Harmon International banner. (Assuming of course that Harmon allows them to resume production a... | |
| Portable DVD player I have the Toshiba SD-P2000. (I believe there is a newer model now, (P2100, I believe), but it is very similar, with better speakers as I recall.) It has a great picture, and it is viewable from fairly decent angles. We typically put it on the tra... | |
| New Wilco... Impressions? Did you get the vinyl or the cd?They recordings are pretty good, so I try to get them on vinyl. (Although I don't have Summer teeth on Vinyl, boo hoo!)Mark | |
| Thiel 7.2 or Revel Studios I believe the Studios are slightly better. IMHO.(Since I own them, they must be the best, right?!)However, the Theils are also quality speakers.I doubt you would go wrong with either one.I don't think it takes hundreds of hours to break in the Rev... | |
| What are "Full range speaker" Hey, Ohhwy61:Would you consider the Avantegarde Solo to be full range (and a single driver) speaker?(It is kind of a quasi full range single driver speaker. I agree with you that regular dynamic type speakers do not lend themselves to single drive... | |
| Cardas Golden Cross vs. Golden Hexlink 5C Rusvit, not to hijack your thread, but I have a related question:What about the difference between the Cardas Golden Reference and the Hexlink?I am thinking about getting the Cardas Golden Reference as the link between my amp and preamp, as it is ... | |
| Revel studio or B&W 802 Nautilus In Response to Aida_wWho do you think owns the Revel?Harmon International.Care to guess who owns Mark Levinson?When I stated that they are designed to use Mark Levinson gear (especially amplification equipment) it is because they use ML gear in th... |
