| Speaker repair-need help Sean: I trust Bill implicitly. It sounds like such a major job that perhaps your best bet is to get a replacement pair. He clearly doesn't want to take on a project that involved and believe me he knows what a truly proper repair really is. He wil... | |
| Best DIY SET int/power amp? Not DIY and not integrated but the Antique Sound Lab aq1006dt (I think). Its the one which is single ended with the 845 tube reviewed by Art Dudley. They put out a lot of power so you won't need to change to 95db efficiency speakers, they cost aro... | |
| How Important Is The Cdp? The CDP is very very important, but I couldn't agree more that the system needs to have the proper synergy. If you had a few dollars I would definitely use a true CD player the Music Hall is a giant killer. It sounds like there are numerous other ... | |
| Who has the oldest speakers? My Father's JBLs.I have 1959 JBLs with D-131 coaxial drivers and fitted with the 075 aluminum bullet tweeters. They are still working however they are not what I usually listen to. They came in a number of configurations. I believe they called the... | |
| Review: Hyperion HPS-938 When asked privately about the sound of the HPS 938. This quote is taken directly from the e-mail I sent in response. "If you want truly transparent, exciting, holographic sound, with fast transients, and excellent sound staging its worth the driv... | |
| Review: Hyperion HPS-938 When Mr. Wu needed help Trelja was there for him. Mr. Wu can make up anything he wants to convince you he is a victim. All trelja expects is an e-mail is that so much to ask. Not answering is simply rude. Trelja does not want anything for himself.... | |
| Review: Hyperion HPS-938 Dracule:I am not as considerate as my friend. He urks me to shame that way.Let me also congratulate you for your well written review, especially of the sonics. I agree that these are excellent speakers. I understand your passion for them. I am als... | |
| Review: Hyperion HPS-938 I agree with Trelja. I have heard them with him. His very positive review was prominently posted for months on Audiogon's home page. I feel strongly about it because I am briefly mentioned as endorsing the product as well. Trelja did not ask for o... | |
| Genesis 1.1, Infinity IRS V, 4 chasiss speakers I have heard these IRS V monsters with the bass towers placed about 2 feet behind and 2 feet further apart than the emit emim panels which were placed only about 6-7 feet apart. The woofer boxes were near the corners of the back wall. All I can te... | |
| Trouble letting go? I am nuts too. I am not a pack rat about most anything else except audio. I still own most of what I have enjoyed at different periods in my evolution. The only thing I can say is overly sentimental and that is I don't want to give/sell away a pie... | |
| Listening Fatigue I agree it could be any element in your system but the speakers you choose and the format i.e. analog versus digital are the main culprits in producuing glare, hash, digititis, painful, shrill, harsh sound. That is what makes music fatiguing. Also... | |
| Upgrade my Musical Fidelity A3.2 I own a 308 and a recent thread had almost the same question. The MF has a sonic signature that's a clean lean mean accuracy machine. I would look for a Tube amp with some power to get the beauty and warmth your looking for. | |
| Starter Turntable F155: The hype is true vinyl is stupendous your dealer is right it costs money but if you have it, do it, but its no picnic. I had only 1 box of records when I started less than 2 months ago now through friends and family I have 4 boxes and haven'... | |
| 50hz deep enough? Nickway: I ignore numbers Key Metric makes a lot of sense. The system synergy that gives you the most pleasure is the one you should buy. Bookshelves are never going to play the lowest most octaves and your room really isn't large enough to sustai... | |
| MF A300 to A308: notable improvement? I have owned a 308 integrated for some time. I suggest that you not bother stepping up unless your speakers synergize well with the MF signature sound which to my ears is neutral to lean and very clean. The 308 has all the juice and plenty of it a... |
