| OK folks, what the best pre for under 10,000? Did I mention the First Sound Deluxe II for $3995.? It is dual mono, and wonderful. Hand made, copper lined chassis.Go to the website, Firstsoundaudio.com and read the review, in which this pre is compared to Hoveland, Lamm, you name it.For $4K it... | |
| OK folks, what the best pre for under 10,000? Gryphon, Sonata Allegro, oops $15,000. but magic nevertheless. Of course what's $5000, among audiophile friends? HA! True dual mono, with "banks" of smaller capacitors istead of a few large ones gives it lightning fast response. Gryphon truly has ... | |
| VAC - any comments? Good or bad. Ern,"...and please not be coy about summoning the industry gods to pass judgement on what anyone of reasonable facility with the scientific method can discern is a well-run set of differential tests..."Why would you refer to industry "experts", as... | |
| Best new/demo/used value for $7.5K range Ehider,Hope you're nearby. Again, I would like to know what your friend who bought the Nearfield Pipedreams is doing to, as you stated, "He is having to re-engineer everything from the crossovers to the electronics in the subs!"Again, what electro... | |

| A difference between First Sound Presence products Close now. I spoke to Emmanuel last Friday, and he is supposed to ship. Tuesday? I hope.FYI, I am using the VSA 4's HSE, newest version, and Kimber Select Interconnects Middle Grade (Select) 1020's and Speaker Cables, Copper Foil, with Teflon coat... | |
| Side firing bass designs - Pros & Cons?... I think the key here is, 'minimized'. Loudspeakers are all imperfect to me, versus real music.The pipes do some things really well. Mostly micro, macro dynamics because of the drivers redundancy, plus the lack(make that lessening) of the earlier m... | |
| When is Belles going to get the credit he deserves LoL, HA!Larry | |
| Best new/demo/used value for $7.5K range Ehider,Could your friend tell us what changes in the crossover your friend is making? Is that the external electronic crossover? Also, how about the sub electronics, what is your friend doing to the sub 'electronics'? Also, I would be interested a... | |
| VAC - any comments? Good or bad. To reiterate, ask any manufacturer about the validity of this experiment. I am sure it was done with good intentions, but it is flawed, not because I personally think so. Call ANY electronics manufacturer and ask. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE MY INPUT SERIO... | |
| VAC - any comments? Good or bad. It is impossible to measure amplifier output as a 'qualitative' or linearity value, "through" loudspeakers. I know your attempt may have been sincere, but it serves no point ultimately. The speakers, as an electro mechanical device invalidate the ... | |
| Side firing bass designs - Pros & Cons?... Dawg,That, my friend is an excellent question. The Pipedreams use a proprietary 'series/parallel' wiring configuration which ameliorate the lobing effects which is what you are asking about. Otherwise comb filter effects would cause a disturbing c... | |
| When is Belles going to get the credit he deserves That was my point with Matty. I know I teased him a little too much. But, emails are so iffy. Especially, when some companies get 150 a day, and if they were all answered, production would stop.Sorry Mattie. Just havin' a little fun. Dave is every... | |
| Side firing bass designs - Pros & Cons?... Thanks. It took some time, years, in fact to quantify what is so obvious after we 'notice it'. I am pretty convinced that the distortions are of another order, (hence the idea for the paper)and of more significance, than just harmonic distortion, ... | |
| Side firing bass designs - Pros & Cons?... Was any alcohol involved in that story, you know, the nightly nip? HA!Larry |
