| Cary SLI 80 or Conrad Johnson CAV 50? I haven't heard the Conrad Johnson but I can vouch for the Cary SLI 80. I love the one in my system. It works well with my Gallo Ref 3's and Gallo SA amp. I have a small room so I run it in triode mode all the time. Recently I had my music club ov... | |
| Ottawa, Ontario PaulThanks for the kind words and the clarification on the Mother Corp. I'm not sure where the good ship is going myself. Looking forward to the next music session. matthew | |
| Ottawa, Ontario Kick off to 2006. We enjoyed our first get together of the new year at my place. This was the first time that I had my new gear up and running. And I think that the Gallo Ref 3's and the Cary SLI80 provided a rewarding experience. That being said ... | |
| Ottawa, Ontario Zanththanks for the note. at the moment we are up to five members and i don't think all of us, particularly myself have a listening room that can accomodate more than that. but i'd be glad to talk to you and set up a seperate listening timematthew | |
| Ottawa, Ontario It seemed like time for another update. Well we've been trucking along for a little while and now we have 5 members. I hosted our most recent get together on September 23 2005. What a blast! My sound room, if it can be called that is really only a... | |
| Ottawa, Ontario Hello Bill,Thanks for the note. If you are in the company of Terry and Paul you are walking on rarified air. Great people, who just happen to know a lot about music as well. We will be planning another listening session soon. Send me an e-mail thr... | |
| Best Neil Young Album? The old, he can't sing tag eh? Beauty is in the eyes and in this case in the ears of the beholder. I'm sure a Jim Croce thread would light up with comments on their fave records also. Hitting all the right notes can make for enjoyable listening bu... | |
| Best Neil Young Album? I'm also in the Zuma camp. With On the Beach, Tonight's the Night and Everybody Knows this is Nowhere, nipping at the heels. As for Greendale, I don't think it's much, unless you are comparing it to: Everybody's Rocking, Life, or Trans. And if you... | |
| Ottawa, Ontario Another night and another success. This time it was my Totem Model One's and a night of mostly jazz trumpet. We listened to the likes of: Enrico Rava, Hot Lips Page, Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard and many more. What they lack in bass they make up fo... | |
| Spectacular Drum Set? Art Blakey Drum Suite, 1956 re-issue on 180gram vinyl or if you are very lucky an original pressing in mint condition. | |
| Integrated Tube Around $1000 RichI didn't mean that the Chinese work is bad, just that it could be of lower quality. Only a hunch though, I don't know for certain. But that being said I think it is good value for the money and worth purchasing. You are right about the Adcom a... | |
| Integrated Tube Around $1000 Well I have a Jolida 202 home for a test run. After the kids are in bed it will get warmed up and ready to go. It's a stock model. Wes I suspect that you are right about the Chinese makes being of lower quality than American or European. And in ti... | |
| Integrated Tube Around $1000 Wes thanks for your comments, it sounds like you gave the Totems a good work out, trying them at 30watts. My classe 100 mono blocks are also 200watts per channel at 4ohms, so I get a good sense of what you are talking about. I may very well leave ... | |
| Integrated Tube Around $1000 WesI'm curious about your Totem experience. Was the problem that you were not getting enough volume with 30watts? Did you still get a full range of sounds? ScottzCould you explain a bit more about your comments re. not all watts being equal?thanks... | |
| Integrated Tube Around $1000 So it sounds like the Jolida 302 or 502 as well as the Prima Luna are the leading contenders. Has anyone been able to compare the Jolida vs. the Prima Luna?According to the Totem web site, they suggest that 15 watts is a bare minimum for the Totem... |
