| When is digital going to get the soul of music? One of the closest I've heard, is the Exemplar/Oppo, by Exemplar, of course.This, while not analog is pretty remarkable sounding, and very tube-like, yet without the tubes. Lush midrange, great bass, imaging--very analog sounding for such a reason... | |
| Speaker Recommendations for Soundstage and Imaging Have to agree, as usual, with Mapman. It's tough to hear the MBL's set up correctly, but done so, they're invisible and wonderful--the best speaker I've ever heard.The omni thing involves the room (as do all, but usually, less so) so the envronmen... | |
| Preamp with Aleph 5 and Thiels I sold THIEL's for many years, Threshold Amps then, which were Nelson's first company, I believe.I really liked using a tube preamp with solid state amps--to give a rounder sound, smoother upper midrange to the solid state of the Threshold. The Pa... | |
| Anyone read Perfect Visions Review of LSA's? It's lonely out here when no one responds...it's a really good review that had me psyched...but no one's read it huh?Larry | |
| LSA 1 Monitors in a small room?? David,Thanks for your comments...I rarely, just take exception it's just that for some reason, the rumor was that Albert Von Schweikert 'designed' the LSA's, was out there early on. Possibly because I had worked with him in the past.(Though no one... | |
| LSA 1 Monitors in a small room?? The speakers, not to be contrary, are voiced, VERY differently, the cabinets are shaped in a very different manner, lending to the exceptional imaging of the LSA's.I worked with Von Schwiekert, for a while, as President Emeritus, helping with a CE... | |
| LSA Statement Tube Rolling Bpinder,Actually, I didn't mention that mine are NOS 8/62 vintage.I don't know what that means, other than, they best anything I've heard by a wide margin. They offer the smoothness of the Mullards, without being too rolled over or syrupy. It's as... | |
| Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha Having heard the Magicos at a dealership--never optimal, I would reiterate that they are not my cup of tea. The $18K Magicos (forgot model #'s), lacked detail in the upper midrange--enough to be notable and bothersome to me. The larger ones at $27... | |
| Review: Merlin Music Systems Merlin TSM-MMI Monitor Actually, Bobby's products have been upgradable, to his credit. There comes a time when that's no longer possible--that was inevitable. However, given the Merlin reputation, selling and buying the new version probably wouldn't cost that much more,... | |
| Gryphon Colosseum- How good? Jzach,Having spoken to Flemming Rassmussen on a couple of occasions, I can tell you that the American Press and he are not kissin' cousins. Somewhere along the way they met a Waterloo...and in my opinion the American press is the poorer.Gryphon (I... | |
| Best U.S.A. speakers? If Von Schweikert, one would have to factor in the $30,000 dollar, "I'll keep your money and not ship." that Albert Von Schweikert factors in for customers.Larry R. Staples | |
| LSA Statement Tube Rolling I use the 6dj8, Amprex made in Holland. They are very warm and rich--an almost transformative sound for my taste.Highly recommended.Larry | |
| Pros/Cons of moving from CJ PV 10 to SS? First of all CJ has good resolution under normal operating conditions. The unit you've described has problems. Call conrad johnson and ask for service help--they're the good guys in audio. They will guide you to the right solution, whether repair ... | |
| Any body have experience with OPPO BDP-80? Mceljo,I didn't make this very clear...the $2500. includes the price of the Oppo, $500.Maybe, and I can't know this, JT would take your player later and upgrade it? Who knows...doesn't hurt to ask though.Larry | |
| Experienced audiophiles best speaker Blindjim,Hey, I have my canvas coats tailored at Saville Row...they fit tightly, (as prescribed by my...uh advisor), but look really great.Yet another hilarious and entertaining one Jim.lolololololololololololol....Larry |
