| Tube newbie, Audio Research questions? Audio research has always been excellent gear, and the manufacturer backs its products. There are always small cottage industry companies which claim to be magical, but I think that is part of the lust we have as we search for the Grail.If you own... | |

| Bryston 4B gets HOT. Should I leave it on? Turn it off now! Heat (read excessive heat, above normal operating tempatures) convert into an inverse quadratic equation. That is each time the temp goes up "x" degrees over its intended operating temp, the wear factor is something like four time... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? All hobbies which take on the characteristics you describe can seem ridiculous. What I can't take is the guy who asks "Who would pay $125,000 on speakers", inferring that it is crazy, while in the same breath asking you, "By the way how do you lik... | |
| CJ CAV-50 or VAC Avatar for Sonus Faber Grd Piano? I have had extensive experience with each.The differences are not subtle. I love Bill Conrad, and have a good relationship of mutual respect with Lew Johnson. Through the years I have sold tonnage of their gear. However, the Avatar, which costs mo... | |
| Martin Logan Repair and/or Rejuvenation? Just to make you feel better, electrostatic speakers, from left to right channel, can vary in output audibly, regardless of slipped panels.The conditions surrounding the output of the speakers may be more noticeable in his room because of his set ... | |
| Got Vienna Acoustics Mahler speakers - what amp? I just read a couple of responses to you, one was particularly interesting. The Mac owner reasoned that he used a MAC 300 watt, and also that the speakers were soft and boomey on the bottom.First as McMasters attendee,(which includes extensive mac... | |
| Problems with my Berning ZH270 I own a Gryphon Callisto, and I can tell you that the Berning does not go nearly as deep, linearly as the Gryphon. The speakers in question, the Merlins don't even go there,(don't get me wrong I have known Bob P. since 1987 and love him. He is one... | |
| Problems with my Berning ZH270 As a follow up. George's statement was conclusion selective. He blames the amp for the problem, and offers no explanation of any actions he may have taken to solve the problem. To reiterate, start over and keep adding pieces until the problem mani... | |
| Problems with my Berning ZH270 What we have here is the fable of the eight blind men describing an elephant.What George needs, is the dreaded, (drum roll and oooooh's)Brick and Mortar store guy with a brain larger than a peanut. They are difficult to find I know, since I travel... | |
| Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ???? The Von Schweikert VR 4 HSE III, which is the latest incarnation, is a good immaging speaker. It imparts a feeling of width and depth, with space around the sounds it creates. This allows for an almost holographic representation,(I know that mixin... | |
| Any comments on the VSA VR 4 se? To make sure we are talking about the same speaker:I own the Von Schweikert Audio VR 4HSE III(that includes refinements over the regular 4 se.Would you like feedback on these speakers?Larry R. staples | |
| CONFUSED.. Moz vs Beeth..vienna acoustics at all? I owned the Viennna Acoustics Mahler, their top speaker, and they are sweet and musical. There are better options however.I am the former Director of Sales for THIEL, so my search for speakers is slightly more focused than the typical person, havi... | |
| Jeff Rowland Concentra II vs Gryphon Callisto 2200 The Rowland Piece is a great audio product. Somehow, though, I have never gotten the same feeling of music that I get with the Gryphon. I have spoken, by email to Flemming Rasmussen several times about his product, and he does not consider the USA... | |
| Gryphon Callisto 2100 integrated Amplifier I OWN A CALLISTIO 2100 INTEGRATED AMP. IT IS TRUELY A MARVEOLUS WORK OF ART. IT IS HARMONICALLY RICH SOUNDING WITH AN APPROPRIATE SOUND StAGE LEFT/RIGHT AND BACK BEHIND THE SPEAKERS. IN THIS CASE THE VIENNA ACOUSTIC MAHLERS. HAVING HAD THE OPPORTU... |
