| Gallo Ref 3.1s: TWO per channel?? 2 pair sounds like a kludgy attempt at a more omnidirectional sound.I'd look at something comparable but inherently more omnidirectional in the $4000-$5000 price range first, like a larger pair of OHMs perhaps. | |
| Best Turntable/arm/cartridge system for $30k Sounds like your mind is made up.In order to be sure of getting the best, maybe go used here on A'gon. If you find a supportive seller, you might be able to pick up a $60000 rig for only $30000. | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Damn, I can't believe I forgot to mention Neil Young.When he is in a roll, he is without equal in regard to his ability to communicate his mood with his guitar. | |
| balanced battery tube pre streamer I'm not sure exactly what you're arguing for, but I think I mostly agree with your individual observations regarding features that are important to achieving good sound and a functional system yet do not necessarily have to cost a fortune to reali... | |
| Best Turntable/arm/cartridge system for $30k "If there's not a digital rig made that you can enjoy, you won't like vinyl either"I would tend to agree and advise again against a blind plunge into vinyl as a solution.I know for fact though there are many out there that assert there is no digit... | |
| the grills My dog doesn't go near my stuff either.Unfortunately, kids and others milling about the house can be harder to train I've found.Plus, accidents do happen......I always leave all my grilles on. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Look for titles on the Mapleshade Label.http://www.mapleshaderecords.com/main/aboutus.phpMy understanding is most if not all of these are produced using a simple two channel process that lends itself optimally to enabling near-point source omnidir... | |
| the grills For best sound, listen both ways and decide which you like better.Grills help protect often delicate drivers. If you have delicate drivers,like soft dome tweeters say, and kids or pets or house cleaners or such running about, I'd leave them on and... | |
| Best Turntable/arm/cartridge system for $30k Arwp,It's not clear to me from the inforamtion you provided in your post alone that the digital source is the reason your system does not sound musical or involving to you. It could be anything from room acoustics to overall system synergy to some... | |
| How can you not have multichannel system Not to say multi channel cannot or does not sound great or sometimes even better, but for me as a mainly music lover, the marginal benefits do not justify the significantly greater cost and complexity involved in putting together a really top notc... | |
| Best Turntable/arm/cartridge system for $30k The world is your oyster for $30000.Personally, I'd take a look at some of the better Soundsmith cartridges if I were looking to shoot the works on an analog setup.Or you could get a great rig for 1/10th the cost with a little research and do some... | |
| How can you not have multichannel system Its not that hard. | |
| What cartridges under $800 outperform DL-103R? Mingles,I'm anxiously awaiting your assessment as well.Thanks! | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Never heard or heard of the Wolcotts.Looks like another interesting omni design. | |
| infinity 1b's- should i go tubes for top end??? Mixing tube and SS amps to the same speakers sounds like a risky, overly complex, and potentially expensive solution unless you really know exactly how well the amp configuration will play with the specific speaks in question based on experience o... |
