| looking to go from seperates to intergrated A Jadis Orchestra Reference has just been put up for sale (not related to me) for $1950 asking price. It sure looks great as much as a virtual component can impress in an ad. Since my Aronov recommendation would also be a great match, but is not f... | |
| looking to go from seperates to intergrated Although it is not a compact physical package, the Aronov LS-960I is an easy recommendation. I have played it through everything from mini-monitor Spendor LS3/5A's up through big floorstanding Clements RT-7's (transmission line bass, ribbon tweete... | |
| Review: Prima Luna Prologue Two Tube amp Thanks for your fun review from a listening point of view. Now you are an initiated blood brother in tubeaholics not-so-anonymous.Going along with the California sense of humor: No doubt, Kevin has you on his list to receive a frozen Christmas tur... | |
| Belles 150a : any competition at 1k level? Heard the Stratos at last Spring's Stereophile Show in NYC. Even at its full retail price (a bargain), multiple listeners, including myself, were very favorably impressed. Because any final choice is system dependent, there is a 30 day money back ... | |
| Aronov LS-960i, tube recommendation please. I use the top of the line power cord from Mapleshade Records which has been very cost effective, and yet allows the LS-960i to do its "reality with musicality" thing.Someday, the factory stock tubes of many years ago should give out, and I'll remo... | |
| Headphone amps At the risk of being a copycat, I agree Earmax is very fine with the 600's. I found that the choice of IC's into the Earmax inputs could make big differences in feeling of reality (as defined by the headphone experience), and ability to convey emo... | |
| Passive Pre's--Placette RVC or Luminous Axiom As a user of the EVS Ultimate Attenuators (the name says it all) I can predict you won't be disappointed. Just be sure to talk with the designer, that will make sure the item constructed for you is suitable, just as The smokester explained. | |
| Almighty TT hum --- help When I ran into a similar hum trying to use phono inputs which had not previously been used, it turned out that the preamp female phono input jack of one channel had been detached from its internal soldered continuity with the preamp by someone in... | |
| Where has the respect gone? Ezekial, Thank you for initiating a discussion which has evoked so many valuable responses. I think this shows there are still many who value Audiogon as a refuge from the outside world, which can be even more traumatic.The most important thing is... | |
| Tubed Integrated/$1500/New or Used Aronov LS960I is another choice, sounding "real" and musical at the same time, accompanied by marvelous bass detail, texture, and extension. No adjustments, or requirement for tweaking. But, any unit one purchases can benefit from proper choice of... | |
| "Audiogon" Music Reviews at last I barely skimmed the surface of your many reviews. Really individual, and meaningful reviewing. There is usually a "speaking voice" recognizable in the writing. Thanks for what is obviously a labor of love. I hope your site is eligible to receive ... | |
| Great day at the Record Show.. Thanks for your quick thumbnail sketch comments. Your take on 5.,the Vienna Octet-Clifford Curzon recording, may be based upon the difference between the beautifully controlled, integrated older concert style, and the "play it like you feel it" mo... | |
| Great day at the Record Show.. Happy for your good luck in finding a variety of intriguing vinyl. If you could listen a bit to your periodic finds, then list a few words of review of the listening experience you enjoyed with each record then you can be educating your readers, a... | |
| Clements audio speakers? Mattsquier, Thanks for the information. Fascinating that the equivalent of the previous large size, floor standing, RT-7 (which still positively surprises my audio visitors after all these years) is now re-incarnated as an in-wall speaker. | |
| Speaker Suitable for Baby/Children - Wall Mount I use a pair of "the original" Duntech PCL-15, the larger of two wall-mount loudspeaker designs in the first line they exported to the U.S. When driven by my Aronov LS960I tube integrated amp, a similar, large space fills with great sound, includi... |
