| Von Schweikert VR4 vs later models? Don't 'deposit' either, it's dangerous.Been there, done that...Larry | |
| Best 6DJ8 tubes? I have Amperex 6DJ8, circa August, 1962 and they are magnificent...using them in an LSA Statement Integrated Amp, the preamp section. WOW, what a tube this is...better than Telefunken and many others. Pricing is not for the faint hearted though.Do... | |
| Burson Buffers? As with most things that we review and talk about...input from anyone not actually having had the unit in their posession, is not valid, IMHO.Larry | |
| Lena Horne dead at 92 She sang "Stormy Weather" in a movie...soo many years ago.I think I heard that mentioned in a 'Remembering Lena' look back.What a voice...what a beauty.Larry | |
| Burson Buffers? A friend of mine owns the Burson--he's an audio zealot I suppose you'd say--he has an Oppo DVD player, an Exemplar, a Cambridge. We listened to each unit with and without and I'd say that the results with every unit were nothing short of remarkabl... | |
| A blasphemy....I know.... Everyone will think I'm crazy if they see the RGBY under the conditions I saw it at Best Buys. Usually they do a decent job, (OK at the Louisville, KY store).But I took a friend in, and the sets were set up poorly, with color adjustments varying w... | |
| What is your favorite Chick Corea CD/Album? Chazro,Just went to Amazon and I'll second your astute comments on Chick's playing on "Expressions" from 1992. Wow, what an incredible sampling of an artist.Having heard him more recently, as I mentioned, I'd say he's not lost a step!Larry | |
| Best Integrated, period. Hi Mike,We'll all be looking forward to the inside scoop on the VAC. Kevin and I met back in 2002 I believe...I arrived at the Vegas show late, went directly to his demo room--he said, "I'm worn out, got to get dinner." Three hours later, after li... | |
| Driving MBL 121: Accuphase or Gryphon Agreed, Ozy.Larry | |
| A blasphemy....I know.... Well, someone said 'total marketing bull*hit', that may be true of many things retail, but the 'color shading difference' sans marketing on this unit, calls for it to produce 256 colors plus one more factor of 256 making the total of shades, not i... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Breezin'Back in, 1978, I believe it was, I was on the way home from work and heard this incredible song--didn't know who the artis was, but damn, he was singing what he was adlibbing, and adlibbing what he was playing! Incredible.I thought then th... | |
| Let me hear your rig. Mapman,I really love your music!Great choices.Larry | |
| Help buying a television I just went to help a friend purchase a large screen, and we settled on the LG. I was surprised frankly, but for the money it was a great value.One thing you may consider is the new RGBY, with yellow added to the RGB mix. IT IS IN A WORD, INCREDIB... | |
| Magico Q5 I didn't get to Terry's place to hear them--but did hear the Magico 2's and the 3's elswhere a month ago. I thought them to be superior to Avalons (the 3's more than the 2's which to me sound somewhat 'hooded' in the harmonics above the midrange, ... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Curriemt11,As much as I love the Gryphon, I have to say that I know you're in for a treat when the VAC arrives. Not only is the VAC gear wonderful, Kevin Hayes is one of the most honorable designers I've ever met. Though a bit different, he remind... |
