| Better than a CAT? Pubul57 has a good point, but in some cases the more powerful amps coast along so effortlessly that they sound more relaxed.I owned VTL 750's and 450's and clearly the 750's were much better. | |
| Better than a CAT? Robert,How much sonic difference is ther between the JL2 and the JL3, other than power and possible seperation due to monoblocks? | |
| Better than a CAT? Robert,Have you tried any other amps with your Isis speakers?Our systems are somewhat similar, Walker/Jade/RixRac, Kharma 1E's, Aesthetic Callisto/IO, 2pr Lamm ML2's bi-amped, Purist Anniversay Spkr cables and PC.I have been flirting with replacin... | |
| CAT SL1 + JL2 or JL3 compared to Lamm L2 + ML2.1 This is the age old problem of never getting it all in one package. I use a Kharma/Lamm combination and love the way it sounds, but would love a little more power.Are you looking for the dynamics (CAT SL1 or 2)of a live concert or are you comforta... | |
| DaVinci Tonearm Dgad,I believe the mass of the arm, not necessarily the lenght, has to be matched with the compliance of the cartridge.I used a Kuzma with a medium compliance Koetsu Jade with excellent results.I would speculate the 12 inch is smoother sounding th... | |
| DaVinci Tonearm Has anyone compared the 10' vs the 12" DaVinci? also vs the Kuzma Airline?thanks. Louis | |
| VTL TL2.5 Preamp I've enjoyed it for years in a dedicated second system.To get the most out of it replace the stock tubes with Telefunkens and it becomes a real sleeper.In fact, warmed up it competes with much more expensive units and easily beats the 5.5 unless t... | |
| Audio Note Dac 3.1 X balanced with ARC Ref 3 ??? I have owned the AN 3.1 and 4.1, but found the best sound with a CEC TL-1 transport. I tried a Mark Levinson, Ensemble AN and toshiba transport with no meaningful improvement to justify the high cost. The CEC however, elevated the digital to a new... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Paladin,You are definitely the highwater mark for all of us. How many hours a day do you listen to vinyl? | |
| Wagner: The Ring Cycle. Diffinitive Lp Pressing? I agree with Rushton and Rcprince regarding the Solti/Decca sound quality; however I also like his performance.The Bohm version on Phillips is preferred by many as the best contemporary performance with good sonics.The Feutwangler La Scala 1950 re... | |
| VTA and 180 gram vinyl I purchased an allen wrench with a screw driver handle, which makes the process much easier to adjust. I don't know what your turntable arm looks like, but if is possible to mark the base of the arm with a decal of a pointer or arrow head for the ... | |
| Sonic difference between the CAT JL2 Sig & CAT JL3 Have any of you tried VTL 750's or 450's in this wonderful system? I am curious how these amps stack against the CAT's and essentially what are the differences? I have heard the 750's with Sound Labs and Kharma's with excellent results.thanks. Louis | |
| Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1 Oneobgyn and Dmailer,I have been following this thread and wanted to let you know I just replaced VTL Ref 750's with the Lamm ML2's on my Kharma 1-E,same as the 1-DDE .Althought the VTL's are a truly great sounding amp,Lamm's are the most musical ... | |
| Kharma 3.2 CRM FE and which power amp? Owl,From my direct experiences, the only two amps that completely take command of the situation are the big VTL and ARC's.I am not saying other amps wern't musical or have their own strengths.The fact that the Lamm ML2 were prefered to them on the... | |
| Kharma 3.2 CRM FE and which power amp? Guys,Finding the ideal amp for Kharmas is challenging.With my 1D/DE's, I currently am using the VTL 750's, which on paper seem like the wrong amp. I owned Tenor W/I 75's and Air Tight ATM 3's modified and upgraded by Tom Tutay, both of which offer... |
