| Cables for Tenor/Kharma/Capitole MKI I think that Tenor/Kharma is a particularly synergistic combination that allows any good cable to sound it's best. depending on the listener's taste and sonic preferences many different cables can be perceived as ideal. the special combination of ... | |
| New Tenor Hybrid hi mike, to my knowledge.....the first prototype stereo 150 is not yet built.....so there is no comparative info yet. considering Tenor's track record......my guess would be that the stereo 150's will be virtually indistiguishable from the mono 30... | |
| Mark Levinson 33H vs Edge NL10 Chuck, when i had my #33H's i was using Transparent Reference XL interconnects and speaker cable (certainly no edge in those). i agree that the Valhalla would not be an ideal match with that set-up.my 'solid state' comment is only in comparison to... | |
| Mark Levinson 33H vs Edge NL10 i owned the #33H's for 3 years (and the #33's for a year) and have listened to the NL-10 a few times during shows. the main shortcoming of the 33H compared to the NL-10 is a higher noise-floor.....which allows the NL-10 to reveal quite a bit more ... | |
| New Tenor Hybrid Chuck, your inference that any feedback from this "dealers" customers was less than genuine did offend me. the first thing i mentioned in my comments was that "I" was skeptical.....even after hearing the differences for myself in SF. i was even gi... | |
| New Tenor Hybrid Chuck....or Johnny....or...i've had my Tenor 300 watt Hybrids for about a month. i did post a mini-review on AA...here it is; since i oredered my Tenor 300 watt Hybrid monoblocks i have been skeptical. after living with the Tenor 75 watt OTL's for... | |
| ASL Hurricanes vs Tenors - which are better? Rb99, i think that Arthur is right on with many of his perspectives. he blows away many of the myths of high-end audio. but even though he is refreshingly forthright with his opinions......some of what he writes is less than fully justifyable.in t... | |
| EMM Labs DAC6 Joejr, your skepticism is understandable. yes, when emmlabs/Meitner questions are posed......those that own these units answer. as far as patting ourselves on the back......i think it is more a case of sharing our discovery with the curious. if a ... | |
| EMM Labs DAC6 Golden Ears, i respect your perspective and opinion.....but.....i beg to differ. my experience with the emmlabs gear has clearly resulted in a conclusion that it takes digital performance (both redbook and sacd) to clear new levels.it is one thing... | |
| Can 33h's properly drive Salons with punch & SLAM? it is a matter of degrees. the 33H's have plenty of punch and slam......especially if you wire them for 220 volt operation.........but........when i switched from the 33H's to the 33's......there was much more control and lack of congestion on the... | |
| Avalon Opus without bass ? Marc, if you listed your room dimentions and type of amplification it would be easier to offer specific advice......as you really need to consider amps/speakers/room as a package.one thing to consider is that the distance between your woofers and ... | |
| How much does rock-solid speed stability cost? in the 'real world', a high-quality belt-driven tt is the way to go. i agree with Twl that it is possible to minimize (not eliminate) the design limitations of belt-drive to a degree that makes them non-issues unless compared directly with the Roc... | |
| How much does rock-solid speed stability cost? interesting thread. there is a review by Peter Moncrieff that will tell you (in his opinion) way more than you might want to know about speed issues with turntables.turntable speedthe review is about the Rockport Sirius III. after owning a few ver... | |
| Lexicon MC-12 or Meridian 861? understand that Lexicon is first and foremost a pro audio company specializing in mixing boards and processors. Meridian is a consumer High-End focused company that has dedicated itself to digitizing everything. so neither is great at preserving t... | |
