| Best excuse for playing loud music? Jea48,Remind me not to invite you to any parties. B-o-r-i-n-g! :>)I had a friend in high school who had a hot-rod Plymouth Sebring with a piece of crap stereo. When we would drive around drinking beer he would play it so loud the words would al... | |
| HP Caravelle Monitor V/S Manger Zerobox109 There was a similiar posting over on AA about how Bobby at Merlin uses $100 tweeters or some junk like that.I am so sick of reading about idiots cutting up power cords and "telling all" or someone like Taloyd posting something like the above. It i... | |
| GMA Europa discontinued? Ther is going to be Callisto, Peco and Calypso. Callisto is going to be the first, at around 2k, production wise followed by the Calypso. Then the Peco will be created. So if I understand correctly, price wise it will be the Europa, the Callisto, ... | |
| JM Reynaud Twin MK3 vs. JM Lab Electra 906 I heard the 906's recently and was impressed with them, fast as all get out with a very smooth, detailed, spacious presentation.Just be careful matching them, they have a forward presentation and I believe can become excessive with the wrong assoc... | |
| Power Cord for Music Hall CD25 I agree with Tobias on his PC comments.I use a Blue Circle BC61 on mine, better detail, soundstage, bass and dynamics. Maybe try a Cardas PC???Regards, | |
| Preamps paired with DNA 225 or other McCormacks For value, the discontinued Audible Illusions L-1 Linestage. It has dual gain controls and the pre adds a slight warmth to the McCormack.If I recall correctly, the Herron VTSP was a nice match that someone else has used. Finally, McCormack's own p... | |
| Arcam A85 / EPOS ESL3's sounding too Bright I would tend to agree about the Arcam/Epos combo. I has Epos M12 and with the wrong SS gear would be bright due to the metal tweeter. This was mentioned in the reviews about them as well. I heard the Arcam, great amp, lively, detailed and basicall... | |
| GMA Europa discontinued? Oh,I forgot. I have no relationship to Green Mountain, just a current owner of the Europa. I have actually been on the upgrade kick and thought it a good idea to see what was going on at GM before I decided.Regards, | |
| GMA Europa discontinued? Just an update...Seems like things have taken a turn of events. I just got off the phone with Green Mountain's new CEO. She said Roy has decided to pursue a completely new speaker, priced between the Europa and the 1.5i. made out of marble, black,... | |
| Anyone heard about B&W revamping their 800 series Jjmali,I think you need think about this some more. Do you really think that as big as B&W is, as many people that they employ, that not even one would mention "off the cuff" to someone else (friend, etc.)that a change is going to occur.If the... | |
| Focus Audio 688's Rubinken,How far from the back and side walls do you have them?Thnx, | |
| Moving from SS to tube system The Six Pac's, with the stock EL34's, does have more of a focus on the midrange as compared to frequency extremes. However, I would not say it is the amp but more of the nature of EL34 type tubes. With this in mind, you may wish to understand the ... | |
| Moving from SS to tube system I would add the AES Six Pac's mono blocs to your list. New "stock" ones are $2400, used they are in your range. 50 watts triode.Regards, | |
| Now I Really Need a Power Conditioner? ? I agree with Bob, your main concerns should be backup power for heat, food and water if via pump. Everything else is a luxury.Another idea in addition to the above is too see if there are any "in production" residential hydrogen fuel cells. I know... | |
| Speaker/Speaker Cable advice for Creek equip.? I would agree on the M12's, I had the 5350SE with the M12's and a Music Hall CD25. Great combo. Speaker cables I would look at something like Analysis Plus Oval 9, around $150-$175 used. Also, Xindak FS-1 cables are very good.Haven't heard the Qua... |
