| Avalon vs Kharma I have a friend who has the Avalon Eidolons and they are absolutely fantastic! Probably the best stereo I have ever heard really. I believe everyone who has ever reviewed these speakers has said that you need top notch electronics to drive them. (... | |
| who is this hilariously funny orchestra? Hey 4yanx!Care to suggest another radio station in the Bay Area?We have NO good radio stations, especially in the morning in the entire Bay Area! (My friend who moved here from Seattle just shakes his head about the crummy stations here!)Live 105 ... | |
| who is this hilariously funny orchestra? I just recently heard something similar to what you describe from the Portsmouth Sinfonia (Swklein is responsible for the spelling, so I take no credit for it, or responsibility if it is wrong either!). I heard it on Greg Kihn's radio show on KFOX... | |
| My baby left me... left me sad and bluuuuueee.... Slappy,Isn't this the same woman who made you sell your last stereo system so you could buy a house?Seems to me you are better off.Next time, look for a rich woman. Preferrably a 18 year old, blonde, nympho, with a multi-million dollar trust fund!... | |
| Best Live Albums? All of these are on audiophile vinyl in my collection, (but are available on other types of media as well).Neil Young's - Live RustBill Evan's - Sunday at the VanguardSupertramp's - ParisGeorge Thorogood's - Live | |
| What is "west coast sound" Is that anything like the West Coast Offense in football?!Maybe it means the CDP can play short pieces of music like you can't believe. But longer pieces are a bit too much for it.(Seriously, I have never heard it either, and I live on the west co... | |
| Budget speaker? If you can't sonically hear a difference between the three, then pick the one with the least expensive price. (Make sure that all three will work with your electronics though. Nothing worse than taking home a speaker and finding out that your amp ... | |
| Phono settings + Koetsu RSP I agree with mgottlieb, that your phono card will be max'ed out as far as gain. (I think you will be pushing your preamp gain up as well to get this cartridge to high sound levels.) I really think you need a gain of about 70-75 for that cartridge.... | |
| Tube Monoblocks for Revel Studis I thought about tube amps for my Studios as well.I eventually gave up, because of the cost.And like Nrchy recommends, I figured that the Wolcotts would be my best bet. They have 220 W/ch.Unfortunately, they run about $5K used, although there is a ... | |
| cart upgrade I agree with Kehut regarding the Koetsu Black.At first I found it to be a slight improvement over my Glider II (Yes, I had one as well). It had the midrange magic of the Koetsu line, but the HF and LF extension was not as good as the Glider II. It... | |
| Revel Studios- amplfier suggestions please I am bi-wiring with MIT CVT 770 speaker cable. It is very neutral, and it really lets the bass come through, something my old Tara cables did not do. | |
| Revel Studios- amplfier suggestions please I love my Studios.I use a Mark Levinson No. 23. (200 wpc).I used to use the Mark Levinson No. 27 (100 wpc).I upgraded because I wanted to be able to really crank the music to realistic sound levels. I really like how the Levinson amps sound with t... | |
| Mark Levinson 23.5 Stereo or Mono? Well, since this is just about to fade off from the current thread status, I will give you some "second hand" information. When I was shopping for my current No. 23, I spoke to a guy who was using two No. 23s bridged for mono, (he was selling one ... | |
| Breakthrough Evidence of the Beatle's Genius? Yes, my little girl used to love to sing along with Paul on Hey Jude. She was only about 2 at the time. I guess good taste is in the genes after all. (But then again, she's adopted, so it must be the enviroment). | |
| Andra II vs. WattPup 7 vs Legacy Focus 20/20 Since you are obviously considering spending the big bucks, here are two more speakers to consider.Revel Salon, would be my second choice, at around $12K new and $10K used. Great build quality, very accurate, very great bass response, and very goo... |
