| what is the best super speaker and why? I have heard several Wilson models, and ML Statements and an audiophile buddy had the Wilson Maxxes? delivered (the ones that cost $70K) to his home. We did in home comparisons with a slew of other very pricey speakers and both ended up buying the... | |
| Has anyone done any upgrades to the Infinity RS 1-B ? It can and the foremost authority on this speaker is Bill Miller of Miller sound. Send me an email and I will get his info and send it to you.Thanks,Mike | |
| Replace Cambridge Audio D500 or add DAC? I had the Levinson 31.5 so I speak from experience, I also own the Cambridge D500SE. I don't care if this is AudioPhile Anethema, the Cambridge is a far better transport. It beat the big Levinson up so badly, I called the factory because I thought... | |
| Tube Testing I have a Hickok 800A(think that's how you spell it) and I am very happy with it. I know it can't tell you if the tube will be microphonic. You will have to test it for leakage, transconductance and the such, if it passes those tests place it in th... | |
| What transport with dCS Purcell/Delius Setup? Why not stay in the family and buy DCS's new transport? just a thought. Regards,Mike Marcellas | |
| Evo 200.2 monos vs. Pass Aleph 1.2 ??? I don't know if you are the guy I responded to before, but here goes. I owned the Talon Audio Khourus (not the X version) and used it with the Aleph 1.2 and with a pair of EVo's run in bridged mode. The EVo by no small margin is the better match f... | |

| Words From the Wise NEVER EVER EVER ASSUME that more money spent on a product (I don't care what the dealer tells you) indicates a superior sounding product. A lot of times this may be the case, but I have found many items that are very very affordable that will smok... | |
| Pass Aleph 1.2s.... Anyone familiar The FIM PC works wonderfully with the Pass 1.2. This is the power cord I used with the pair I once owned. Regards,Mike | |
| Walking that fine line: What would you do ? I would submit that almost any system that is relatively revealing will present you with the same. I have several Krall CD's and I find them to be mastered the same way. I am not a recording engineer, so I will use the term "Faders" that you used ... | |
| Pass Aleph 1.2s.... Anyone familiar I don't think it is so much the impedence curve. More than likely it simply the motor structure of the 2 10" drivers in the Khourus (Can't speak directly about the Peregrine). The Khourus(I am assuming the Peregrine will display similar traits of ... | |
| Anyone familiar with ART DI/O...? Hi Albert. I had my mod done by Donnie Smith of NY, it consists of a change to Cards RCA's and some other proprietary items being swapped. Some fellow NY audiophiles compared it to several other guys mods and it literally was in a league all its o... | |
| Pass Aleph 1.2s.... Anyone familiar I am not trying to be a smarty pants by saying this, but... I understand Subaruguru's point of "Can't imagine the 1.2 wouldn't drive your speakers handsomely....", however, I owned the 1.2 and the Khourus thus I do not have to imagine, it is not a... | |
| Pass Aleph 1.2s.... Anyone familiar I owned the Aleph 1.2's for a short period. They are fantastic and I have also heard the Levinson 33H. I say IMHO forget the 33H, it is not nearly as musical or emotionally invoving as the Aleph. Actually I'll be honest, after hearing nearly the L... | |
| looking for upgrade suggestions - 12,000 to spend Buy a pair of Legacy Audio Whipsers, may cost a hair more than 12K, but you will never look back. I owned the talon Khours (NOT the X version) and they are notanywhere close to the Whispers. The Whispers are more like live musinc than ANY and ALL ... |
