| Mini-monitor suggestions for a Blue Circle CS I suggest you visit Bob Neill's website, amherstaudio.com, a knowledgeable reviewer and now apparently also a dealer of, wouldn't you know it, Blue Circle, Jean Marie Reynaud, and Audio Note gear, among others. There is very detailed first hand in... | |
| Experience with Cary SLP 2002 preamp? I opted for an all-Cary system, in part, because my ability to assemble a system with good results is somewhat limited. I was fortunate enough to enjoy numerous listening sessions with Dennis Had at John Rutan's shop (audio connection) in NJ, wher... | |
| Looking for additional cable ideas... Well, the decision has finally been made and the winner is the Goertz MI-2, in the original flat design. I bought two separate runs to bi-wire. Thanks Scott and Sean, for the initial suggestion, I did find cleaner, truer bass and less pronounced t... | |
| Bonnie Raitt / Lyle Lovett Tour Thanks for your insight, I plan to attend the August show in Saratoga, NY. Looking forward to a great show. Lyle is awesome, and it will be the first time I see Bonnie Raitt live.Mike | |
| Looking for additional cable ideas... Thanks to all for the input so far. It appears I am guilty.I assumed (I know,I know ) since the Cable Co. and Goertz' own web site said the MI2 and the Python MI2 were sonic equivalents, that there was no need for me to hear the flat MI2. Now I wi... | |
| SILVERLINE SONATA II-giant killer? I just recently changed from B&W 802's, which I owned for a very long time. My main criticisms of that speaker seem to be the same as yours, a little harsh on top, and not the most natural mids available. I tried many speakers ranging from Aud... | |
| Albany NY "Capital District" Well, I'm sorry I missed the non-meeting guys, maybe next time. I might be willing to have a little get together here in Kingston if anyone were interested.Mike | |
| Mini-systems I third the JVC, and own the 7000 described by Blackblue above. It will FAR exceed your expectations as far as price/performance goes. | |
| Personal experience with Cary gear and... Dennis at Cary actually demo's his equipment using Nautilus speakers, and has done so both with a single Rocket 88 amp and with a vertical bi-amp configuration. I personally heard the Nautilus 800, 803, and 805's driven in this manner and the soun... | |
| Pick your favorite, and tell me why... Thanks so much Will for your informative and constructive suggestions.Mike | |
| B&W 804 Nautilus help I own a pair of Matrix 802's. When I auditioned them, they were hooked up to a Bryston amp/pre-amp. I owned Krell and Threshold, and found the sound to be far too bright for my taste. I recently purchased Cary gear, and have never heard the B&... | |
| 40hz ratings/speaker response Sean, I believe I understand you correctly when I assume you favor non-vented designs. I am not clear on some of the basic design concepts of transmission line and infinite baffle (are these vented or sealed box types) while I believe the acoustic... | |
| Albany NY "Capital District" I would be interested, I'm in Kingston, NY | |
| Methods for transfer of albums to CD Yes, and Lazarus, could you also let me know where you got the midiman sound card and what the approximate cost was. And thanks to all for your input thus far. | |
| Which direction would you go? Well, it's been three days since the Cary Rocket has arrived, and instead of the 303 CD player, John lent me the 306. I must say I have never heard B&W Matrix 802's sound better. Even though I am nowhere near the end of the break in period, I ... |
