| Best Speakers and Cable for Gryphon Callisto 2200 I own the Callisto 2100 and a new (four months old, so still breaking in) Von Schweikert 4HSEIII loudspeakers.The new VSA's are remarkably good and outperform anything I have heard up to the 25K region. They IMHO destroy the Vandersteen 5's the bi... | |
| Mac 402 vs 6900 The MAC will be a little slower in the bass region than what we typically hear in solid state. McIntosh is sweeter and smoother in other areas, but seems a little slower. MAC rates their gear into four ohms too which can give one an incorrect assu... | |
| I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile Wolves, please pull back from Corona's throat. I don't think he meant that statement, in a completely. 'all or nothing' manner. His basic point as I interpret is that, while advertising is important, and marketing is at that core; please do R&... | |
| I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile Corona, you make a great philosophical point, sadly, advertisements do make a difference in customer buying habits. The smaller companies have to work much harder to get the attention of the buyers (and reviewers) as the larger companies, which ha... | |
| I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile I mentioned to someone in another thread, that Sterephile is selling ad space. They have to come up with latest and greatest each month. Reviews are generally a waste of time from most of these people. They are no better than you at judging equipm... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century More misinformation, and why not, if you don't understand, just disagree.Well, I said that I wouldn't respond because I wanted to break away, but the statements made are incorrect.Whether this works or not, is not predicated on the fact that the e... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century The discussion is over, but careful readers of this thread should separate the motivations of the contributors here.I offered a hommade solution to anyone who choses to try it. No gain. Apparently theauditweak is selling the Sistrum. Frankly I am ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century BWhite,Your last comments about removing the feet is very telling.The platform works even with the Gryphon, which has massive sorbothane type feet in the front, and a tip toe type rear foot. This, as well as comments made in email conversations wi... | |
| Poping noise starting up Mcintosh MA 6900 The reason I suggested exchanging for a new one, was that I did know that McIntosh would back the dealer on the replacement. That is where they excell. Glad you are now getting what you deserve, an amp which does not pop.On the passing dc thing, I... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Well, I was only trying to pass on the design of a product device which solves the basic problems that most of the thread, Supratek owners spoke of, not simply disagree with someone else. This is a device which is offered free, just for the cost o... | |
| Poping noise starting up Mcintosh MA 6900 Sorry,I did not know that the 6900 could not pass dc.Also, what kind of ground loop could cause a popping noise.60cycle and harmonics of, but popping I have not experienced. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Amen Tubegroover. You get it Audiotweak does not. The laws of physics simply deny his answer, and are not in dispute.Of couse these are replicating divices, not the actual intruments, who, as a thinking person could confuse the two?Output should e... | |
| Any comments on the VSA VR 4 se? The VR4HSE is a magnificant design.The gain system(rear tweet, read the manual) is very effective for 3d'ing the system.The speaker can disappear really well. For sure use an amp with good bottom end control. As with all speaker that go deeply, a ... | |
| Which amp would be a good match for my system? I think you want something which is fast, fast, fast, while sustaining musicality.The Simaudio can sometimes sound a little sterile, but when mixed with the cj preamp could do the trick.Also, the BV audio is very neutral, and fast.Belles, (Dave is... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century The basic idea here is to rid a given product such as Mick's preamp from "ringing" due to microphonics, or a cd player from going into read error mode.How exactly can a product such as this, designed for this purpose, limit the amplifiers innate c... |
