| Review: Wadia S7i ( an extreme upgrade ) CD Player @jafant I still enjoying a Wadia 16 from the 90's. It is probably two generations prior to the S7i. Sevral years ago, I was thinking of upgrading to a better DAC. However, in the $4000-$5000 range of modern day DACs, the Wadia 16 held its own. I... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @pindac Thanks for the reply. I had an accessary sent from Russia to me in 2022 and it took two months through its postal service. With the War on, I did not expect a reply from Andrey. Anyone has an unused carbon fiber wand for sale ? | |
| OK, who is buying one? I think the 'rounded corners' description refers to the top plate of the plinth. The actual corners of the plinth are still squared. The fact that a 'cosmetic' change with rounded corners on the top plate of a plinth can generate even a whisper ... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @harryz Hi Harry, just a reminder that the cable compliment is very different between the 8b and 8c. In the 8c, it is a set of line level cables from preamp out to the DSP / woofer units, then another set of line level cables from the woofers to ... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @bdp24 Grant quoted CAD$ 900 for the Mye stands. I initially thought they were quite steep for two structs. Now I understand that it is the entire stand + struct combo. Someone on Audiogon posted the use of Townshend Pods in lieu of the SA spik... | |
| Alfred Bokrand cartridge choices You might want to post over at What's Best Forum, there is a ' Cartridge - Headshell for Bokrand Tonearm ' thread. They love their Bokrands' over on WBF. There is another thread ' Ordering A Bokrand Tonearm ' where members are sharing stories of ... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @harryz Just looked up the Starkrimson Amps, 500W class D, very interesting! I believe you will be happy with the 8C, unless you want to hold off until the LFT 18s' are released. There are folks here with tube amps from Music Ref. - 100w @bdp24 ... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @bdp24 Eric, thanks for the photos. I would like to keep the SA stands, so I may end up fabricating a set of struts with a local metal worker. @chowkwan Very impressive set and twin LFT 8a's! What is a ' Super Lumi ' phono? It is clear that L... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @bdp24 Just PM my email to you. Thanks! | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @bdp24 Could you elaborate on the Mye stands? I wrote to Grant last month. He did not have any visuals of the LFT stands. From his descriptions, they clip onto the panels at the mid point of the tweeter, and screwed to the sides of the woofer unit... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @ricevs What you are describing for the 8c ' Extreme' is certainly interesting. I already have the 8c; however, I would be interested in knowing if Bruce would be willing, at a minimum, to provide a neodymium mid range panel replacement. Please ke... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. Yes, looking forward to the release of LFT-18LS. The videos links provided by @ricevs really gave a good glimpse of the new speaker. Did I hear correctly? It is a fully powered DSP speaker system, without the need of amps? I wrote to Bruce askin... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @mrdecibel I think the comment you found objectionable should be be qualified as follows: " there aren't many speakers that can reproduced all of the properties of sound and music...... with such a high level of competence at a price of $3200". La... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. The comments regarding tube amps being a good match with the LFT 8 correspond with my own experience. With the 8b, I preferred a 100W triode tube amp with 6550's. Now a 20W amp with 300b's in push-pull mode is sounding better than the higher watt ... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. I have been listening to the 8C for six months now, upgraded from 8b. For $1500, the upgrade is a no brainer, absolutely! The plate amp / DSP is from Dayton Audio and houses a 250W amp, class D (? ). The initial concern was that the A-D and D-A c... |
