| After Quad ESL's? I have owned Quad 989's, loved listening to them and enjoyed their warm very engaging sweet midrange; however, I made the mistake of A/B ing them against Dynaudio C-1, which thoroughly trounced them in the highs and lows and made it a horse race i... | |
| What's wrong with classical music on vinyl? I have a classical library of appx 2000 LP's mostly recorded in the 60's anf 70's and carefully selected for the artistic performance, not the sound quality of the recording. Although I am using a top notch turntable, I have used lesser vinyl rigs... | |
| Dynaudio Evidence Master and Evidence Temptation I have owned the Temptations and remember them as an exceptionally satisfing experience. However, I was not pleased with them unless they had big tubes amps to drive them. We listened to them with EL 34's and 6c35's, but in my opinion are a great ... | |
| Phonostage question ... I can not comment about the Rogue, but can share with you what made a huge difference in my system. I went from a Manley Steelhead to an Aesthetix IO Signature, 2 power supplies with NOS tubes. I've also used other phono sections with excellent re... | |
| et tu Koetsu? Extremephono,once again thanks for your eloquent description.Verybigamp, if you only use the Onyx 2 % of the time, what is your mainstay cartridge? Also, in your experience, is the Koetsu Onyx Platinum elevated in the high frequencies?When you say... | |
| et tu Koetsu? My source tells me that the Urishi Platinum is not available at this time. | |
| et tu Koetsu? Your description of the Koetsu sound is the most accurate I've read and mirrors my experience, including the Helikon. I am using a Urishi Vermillion with an Aesthetix Io dual chasis signature. As good as the Urishi is, I am considering the Onyx Pl... | |
| Lamm ML2 Vs Tenor 75 Tireguy,I think you are on the money regarding the Tenor OTL's. If properly matched they can be stunning, but any deviation from the groove and the magic is gone. I actually heard the new hybrids in San Francisco last month in a show environment d... | |
| Lamm ML2 Vs Tenor 75 Does anyone have experience with the Tenors driving Quad 989's? Although the Quad is relatively efficient, does the impedance, rated "nominal 8 ohms", but I fear lower, create a potential problem for the Tenors?Also, does anyone have an amp recomm... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I am using the Dynaudio Evidence Temptations, but it took six months of auditioning differnt equiptment and cables to bring out the magic. These speakers respond to the most minute changes in equiptment and room placement. They definitely belong o... | |
| Zanden DAC I am using the Zanden 5000 Mk II DAC. I've used quite a few Digital systems in the past 12 months,i.e. Krell, Wadia, etc. , and this unit is the most musical. If you have a large redbook CD collection, this DAC is at the top of the short list. Sti... | |
| Verdier Platine turntable? I owned a Verdier with a Graham 2.2 tone arm and it is a wonderful turntable. Very critical that is well isolated to minimize resonances. The Graham worked quite well in this combination.I sold it to purchase the Walker, which is in another univer... | |
| Aesthetix Question I want to share my experiences and thank Albert Porter for spending time to help me evaluate my system and make some recommendations.First: The Steelhead although very quiet, detailed and fast, in my system simply was not as musical as the IO Sign... | |
| Review: Lindemann D680 CD Player I have been away and didn't check Audiogon for a few days so please accept my apology in responding late.It's shouldn't be so difficult to find good digital, but apparantly it takes work. I've heard about a Meitner DAC based system recently, where... | |
| Review: Lindemann D680 CD Player Are still as impressed with the sound quality of your Lindemann compared to vinyl, now that you've lived with it for a few months.Louis |
