| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Within the year since I last posted, I've undergone a marital reconfiguration, part of which was selling off my entire system. I've since rebuilt a simple but actually better sounding system that hopefully I'll get to keep. Front end consists of a... | |
| Modifying a Pioneer Elite PD-65...... Tony Diogevenes (sp?) of G&D Transforms modifies PD-65's. | |
| High End Components - How long do they last? Until you find a higher end component :) | |
| Best jazz either purchased or released in 2001 As good as The Water is Wide is, and it is, Hyperion For Higgins refuses to take a back seat, particularly after repeated listenings. This is a fabulous CD, especially given the songs are ostensibly outtakes from the "Water" sessions. An oldie tha... | |
| Accuphase A50V v.s. Lamm M1.1 Had a pair of A-50v's bridged and driving Eidolons and felt it was a beautiful synergy. The Eidolons like power, and the 50's never even blinked, even at high spls'. Auditioned the Lamms driving a pair of Kharma Exquisites 1-b's, and that too was ... | |
| Any audio gifts for Christmas? One of the nicest people I know got me a pair of Rockport Antares :) My lovely Ex, via the kids got me a pair of long underwear. I'm working on the Jungian/Freudian significance of that. I've subsequently put a large note on the Rockport crates th... | |
| Help on premium cd player Is it me, or have sanibel/hi-fi farm's sales pitches become...yaaaaawn.... uh, tiresome? Balanced, informative contributions from some dealers, such as those I recall from Audiokinesis could be an example for those dealers/distributers who wish to... | |
| Audio tip for aging male audiophiles Detlof, I've had a similar experience, and have found that in addition to low end definition, extension seems to be improved. | |
| looking for jazz? Philadelphia Experiment, Erik Truffaz Quartet, Carl Densen, John Scofield " A Go Go" in which he's backed by MMW, Robert Walter( Greyboy alum as I believe is Densen). | |
| what is the best super speaker and why? I've heard all the above with the exception of the Whamms. All are very good, and given the subjective nature of what one considers "best", any of them will be considered auditory nectar to any given individual. From my listening experience and IM... | |
| One Song Before You Go... "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child" by Van the Man Morrison | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? The best I've heard are the Rockport Antares. I've heard many/most of the aforementioned transducers, and my favorite(and therefore by definition what I subjectively would consider "best") were the Antares. They elicit all the audiophile superlati... | |
| Pass Aleph 1.2s.... Anyone familiar I had the 1.2's for an extended period driving Avalon Eidolons, an acknowledged difficult load for some amps to drive. The 1.2's had no problem driving the Eidolons. They are very musical ss amps, and had the balls to to make the Eidolons sound fu... | |
| Any SACD players with variable ouputs? Audio Aero will soon( hopefully) be coming out with an SACD player with a volume control called the Prestige. If the Capitole is any indication of what Audio Aero is capable of, the Prestige will be well worth an audition. | |
| Best Amp for Eidolon I had Eidolons (recently sold) and A/B'd extensively the AR Ref 300 MKII amps and 2 Accuphase A 50V's bridged to monoblocks. Both sets of amps are no brainers, easily controlling the Eidolons without a hiccup to astounding levels of performance. I... |
