| Looking for an integrated w/ a more forward sound Yes the Musical Fidelity is way out front if that is what you want. The sleeper with the most pleasant sound to my ears is the Hegel smooth but detailed. Certainly not the aggressive amp you want. | |
| mainstream sleeper audio products.... Stereophile went nuts over some real inexpensive Sony or possibly Pioneer bookshelves within the last year or so. I wish I could tell you which but a search might find them for you. Otherwise there are an awful lot of decent speakers on the market... | |
| Chord spm 600 I like your tag I have JMlab936's. I don't know Chord amps, but if those are your speakers get some Cyber 800 Opera Consonance amps (Quest For Sound) with an AES AE-3 preamp (Upscale Audio) and you will be thanking me for a long time. | |
| How Strict is Harbeth on Damaged Outgoing QC Seal I don't get it either. If the seal is on the box and must be removed to get the speaker out then no speaker would have a warranty. Can you clarify your question? | |
| Ram bux amplifiers are they audiophile ? No one talks about them here very often if at all. Whether or not that means they are or are not Audiophile, remains an open question. My instinct at least for home use is no not audiophile. | |
| Phono recommendations for Koetsu I know diddly about SUTs, but I did know of the high reputation of Bobs devices which use a variety of Cinemag transformers, The mavens talk about the transformer used in specific models. | |
| b&w 801n used price? need a sub? They are big speakers and have prodigious bass, I would think you could do without a sub. I don't know prices sorry. | |
| Anyone familiar with the Ultron ECC88 tube? Somewhere between Telefunkens and Mullards. That is a very odd description indeed. It gives me pause to imagine if this guy knows tubes at all. | |
| Ortofon --- A90 or SPU 90th? An alloy of ilaid titaniumand unobtanium into true Russian Alexandrite crystal. Why is there some other garbage headshell being sold. Or you could go to a living legend in Japan and have him carve you one from 350 year old Pine. | |
| Do glass shelves affect sound Quality? What exactly is Steve's isolation stuff? | |
| VPI Traveller You know the scout is a very good "entry" level for true high end tables. So if you can get one that cheap B stock which I have found means very minor issues (so far fingers crossed) like a scuff mark etc. I would choose that or as the VPI dealer ... | |
| VPI Traveller He has been a fan of dynevector for a long time. I like my 20X HO. In that price range you are strching to get the 10X. | |
| Mini Monitors under $500 used The Hyperion Monitors miss very little music and are outstandind for their quickness and clarity. Not fatiguing either. | |
| Anti-Skate dial-How to set it? + a bonus question So Stanwal, while it seems a precise science what is wrong listening for the sound tou like the best?/ I noticed that no one amongst the analog gurus will say they change he VTF for specific recordings. I hope more respond. | |
| VENTURE AUDIO SPEAKERS CHECK IN They have been around for a little while from what I read. I got the impression that pair you own cost about $30K, they have won accolades from the press etc so why was the first time I heard of them yesterday. Is this the begining of a speaker of... |
