| Open Call To Arms Ha! Yep, I got it backwards. I was thinking of it in terms of vertical entertainment (the dancing) with the purpose of enticing folks into a paid horizontal entertainment arrangment. (Yes, I am not above shameless sexual innuendo in an attempt to ... | |
| "Kid A" the new "Dark Side @ Moon" ? What's the deal with Kid A? I hated it when I first heard it. I'm pretty sure that I still don't particularly like it. However, it has been spending a remarkeable amount of time in the old CD player. Just can't seem to stop listening to it. Wierd. | |
| SF Power 1s with Thiel CS 2.3s Enuf Pwr? Geeze, I just can't shut up...one correction, though, I'm using the Homegrown Super Silver IC's, not the Silver Solution. May just have to try their new Silver Lace--word on the street is that they really are all that... Cheers | |
| SF Power 1s with Thiel CS 2.3s Enuf Pwr? Pops, I'm using some Kimber Monocle XL's with the Homegrown Silver Solution IC's. I have to admit that I was a diehard nay-sayer when it came to expensive wires for the longest time. But when the Kimbers came up for a great price, I decided what t... | |
| SF Power 1s with Thiel CS 2.3s Enuf Pwr? Ok, I admit, but this one puzzles me. Back when I was wondering if anything was actually going to explode if I tried to make the Thiels go with a 60wpc receiver, I sent an e-mail to Thiel asking essentially the same question. Their reply was that,... | |
| SF Power 1s with Thiel CS 2.3s Enuf Pwr? Im feeding my 2.3's with 400 wpc into 4 ohms from a Bryston 4b-st, no looking back. While I was waiting for the Bryston to arrive, I briefly (VERY briefly) tried running the Thiels off of a 60wpc Yamaha. It was a real bad idea. Not only did it sou... | |
| Horrific crackeling at power down...!?! Interesting thought re lack of moisture--it IS exceptionally dry in there over the winter...maybe not such a long shot after all. In the meantime, I'l will drop Bryston a line. Many thanks to all. | |
| New Meridian 596 CD/DVD? Of course you're right. I'm not about to run out and buy something whithout giving it a spin first. I just enjoy nursing an array of fascinations while here at work in order to guide me on my listening safarris later on. Despite the excess verbiag... | |
| HomeGrown Audio Impressions All this talk about RFI stoppers got me going and I went downstairs and picked up a pair of the Radio Shack ferrite clamps for lunch. Is it technically sound to place them at a latter stage in the chain (between preamp and amp) with the thought th... | |
| HomeGrown Audio Impressions I upgraded the entire systems worth of interconnects to the HG silver and was absolutely tickled by the improvements across the boards. However, I was upgrading form a whole assortment of interconnects that retailed about the $100 mark each, so th... | |
| 1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma Not to fret, gentlemen, these puppies actually come with their own amplification, so there's no need to go out and splurge on the Kenwood to make them really purr. The bad news appears to the that they seem to be disigned for a specially designed ... | |
| Which Wadia a better buy in value terms? Yea, Steve has an (at least?) intrim contract to manage all service and support for Wadia products during their "reorganization." He also does customized upgrades to all Wadia models that are proported to take them well beyond the stock, factory u... | |
| headphone pre-amps I've got the Headroom Home and have been very pleased with how well the image processor really works (driving some Sennheiser HD 600's). Or, if you find a piece on which it doesn't float your boat, you can turn it off -- although I haven't been te... | |
| Help choosing digital front end. The only thing Resolution has on their website (at least the one that I can find) is the CD 55. It has frustrated me in the past as well. | |
| Blown Thiel 3.6 tweeters/midrange I suggest that you send a quick e-mail to Thiel (mail@thielaudio.com). What you describe sounds a bit odd (both?!?) but Thiel has been exceptionally helpful in the past. (One of the rubber skirts on a bass radiator on my 2.3's came unglued, I gave... |
