| What is the 'BAT sound'? Thanks for the responses. :-)I'm asking because I'd like to find a preamp that has some midrange bloom without being overly tubey.I've heard the ARC 3 a while ago (and found it very un-engaging), but I've never heard, say, the VTL 7.5 or BAT 52se ... | |
| Rush fans on the board ?? I am! Really looking forward to it. | |
| Sophia 2/Magico V2 versus Sasha/Magico V3 Nevermind, just finished reading the entire thread you provided the link to.There is no similarities between our rooms. :-) | |
| Sophia 2/Magico V2 versus Sasha/Magico V3 Elberoth2,Just saw pics of your room - very nice! How high is the ceiling? It looks very high and I'm guessing your room has a lot more cubic space than mine... | |
| Sophia 2/Magico V2 versus Sasha/Magico V3 Elberoth2,Interesting to hear that the tweeter settled. I'm pretty sure the pair I demoed had more than 400 hours as the dealer has had them for a few months. The dealer has ordered some resisters to try attenuating the low frequencies. I'll ask a... | |
| Sophia 2/Magico V2 versus Sasha/Magico V3 I did. I've also heard the V3. The Sasha is one heck of an impressive speaker in the right environment. I've heard it in 5 different setups, PLUS my own (had a home audition).I've never heard such a dynamic speaker. It does well with pretty much e... | |
| Interested in Focal Scala Utopias Unfortunately, Sound By Singer doesn't have the Scala.Anyone know of another east coast dealer? | |
| audio valve eklipse or aesthetix calypso The eclipse is great. I own it and tried many press before settling on the Eclipse.It is not overly tubey, and has nice extension, etc. Arrange a home audition. | |
| Top ten tube preamps Best tube pre I've ever heard: Audio Valve EclipseWorst: ARC Ref 3 | |
| Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha? Why is Scala the winner? What are the pros of the Scala that make you say that? What type of music do you listen to and what attributes of speakers do you value?In my opinion it's all about tradeoffs; I've yet to hear a speaker that does everythin... | |
| Wilson Sophia 3 What makes you think the impedence will be improved. Sasha dips to 1.8... | |
| Classics Clarity Vinyl While it does sound a bit hit or miss, I guess I have been very unlucky. I don't think it's tracking force (running a Dynavector XV-1s at 2.01) and other vinyl titles are fine.I do seem to get more problems with 45 rpm though. Doug, what is the sl... | |
| Magico Mini II vs V2 with Pass amps I think Keith is simply saying that dynamics are not these speakers' strong point; I agree with him (and I own the V2s). | |
| Jeff Beck - Emotion & Commotion? I think it's his most lyrical so far. Outstanding. | |
| Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System Anyone having issues with their unit?I'm on my third and experiencing problems again. Would love to know if I've just been extremely unlucky. |
