| Robertson Audio: new / old company ??? Hi Sean,If memory serves the fellow who started it is not there, his son is running the show now, so who knows?B/R,Lou | |
| Green Mountain Audio Continuum 2i----any owners? I have to admit that I listened to Thiels for years at different dealers, and I always wondered why people bought and loved them, until I heard them properly setup, then it was all clear. I have never heard Vandersteens that did not sound like som... | |
| Replacement cartridge? As you require help in setup, the Denon 103D is likely the best way to go. It is not the best cartridge on the planet, but it is properly made. That is, they did not do anything special, but neither did they do anything wrong, which may be even mo... | |
| Review: Merlin Music Systems VSM millennium Speaker Hi RD,I do not have Merlins, but have some very articulate speakers too. Folks talk about not hearing changes in this and that, and while I have not tested every tweak out there, I know a lot of them do work. I think far too many people have syste... | |
| How does Sony DVP-S9000ES compare to other Sony's? Hi Rich,It is not a bad sounding unit. It does not read burned discs though. Sony used good capacitors in the audio section, and though they can sound better if you replace most of them with Black Gates, it is not a bad sounding unit as is. The on... | |
| Does anybody know what's wrong with Tyler's bass? Hi Daniel,JRD thinks there will not be much improvement, he may be right. GIGO, garbage in, garbage out, is what will determine if the Paradigms or the Taylo's will work better for you. The Paradigm line is, from top to bottom, designed for mass m... | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? Hi,I am in the Cincy area as well, and am also interested in a club, get together, what ever. Best Regards,Lou | |
| Pre-amp match for Moscode 600 Hi Dan,I am glad things worked out for you. I used to recommend him, even after he was as many as 5 months late in delevery. It got to the point that I agreed with any stupid thing he came up with. He wanted to put my preamp into a wooden case, it... | |
| Pre-amp match for Moscode 600 Sank can do good work, but I would not let him tie my shoe! Want details, do a search under Sank, my comments are here to be found.V/R,Lou | |
| Amps Preamps I am not so sure about the slow part, he had my amp on the bench way sooner than he has said he would. He had said a couple weeks, but got to it when it arrived. It may depend upon the volume he has, and his private life. He was apparently was an ... | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? I had actually heard the later ones, the 63's first. Unfortunately I was working in a space next to a weapon's elevator at the time and could not appreciate them as my hearing was so badly damaged at the time... Fortunately it was only short term ... | |
| Hafler DH500 mods Hi Lincolnl,The following assumes you know enough about electronics to solder and not work on gear that is plugged in, etc.There is one bipolar cap per driver card that will cost about 20.00 each to replace with Black Gate caps, then 2 more polari... | |
| Directionality for Alphacore Goertz MI 2 cable? Hi Salby,You know that what you are really telling us is that the Goertz cables do not compensate for other system issues... I agree that changing cables is the least expensive way to go, but it really is not the right way to go... I think the Par... | |
| Adcom or Creek? Thanks Sean,I am not sure what a GFP-750 is capable of, but a well moded SM-2 is pretty hard to beat.Lou | |
| Directionality for Alphacore Goertz MI 2 cable? Hi Jvogt,Actually, it is low negative feedback, broadband amps, like Stasis and Spectral that have issues with Goertz cables. I have heard that Spectrals are so susceptible to this that they will not guarantee their gear unless you use their MIT c... |
