| SACD player with Analog Volume Control. the passive Placette RVC (remote volume control) is the answer. either rca ($1000 list) or balanced ($1800 list), it will give you a state of the art vishay-resistor 128-step volume attenuator with remote control. you will not be limited to a part... | |
| Kharma Ceramic 1.0 speaker with Atma Sphere Amps ? Stealth, i love my Tenors with my Kharma Exquisites. i have listened to the Grand Ceramiques on the Lamm ML1s and they were very good, but short of the overall clarity, speed and extension of the Tenors.Charles von Oostrom, Mr. Kharma, uses Tenor ... | |
| best 50 watt tube amplifier? Mejames, as the Dunlavy's are not very OTL friendly, you will either need a "big" OTL, such as the Atmasphere MA2s or maybe the MA1s.....or....the Lamm ML1s. a friend tried the Tenors with the Dunlavys and was not satisfied with the dynamics (she ... | |
| best 50 watt tube amplifier? Mejames, if you identify the speakers you intend to use and size of your room the answers to this question might be more specific.OTOH if this is one of those "what is the BEST....." then my 2 cents would be the Tenor 75Wi is "the BEST 50 watt tub... | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 i am really disappointed that my thread did not get to 100 posts in one week......come on guys.....where's the passion?i think we beat this issue into submission...... | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 Oneproof, when i first demoed the Tenors i did it on the Wilson watt/puppy 6s. the WP6 is among the most brutal speakers for an OTL; difficult impedence curve (6 ohm -- 2.3 ohm), and best normally with monster amps. in fact, my long-time reference... | |
| Beyond SACD with Redbook: Price No Object Albert, thanks for the kind comments. you have set the standard around here for enlightened musical direction for as long as i've been participating on Audiogon and the feeling is mutual on my desire to listen to your system(s).the "less is more" ... | |
| Beyond SACD with Redbook: Price No Object i agree with Albert and some others that very good or great vinyl is quite a ways beyond the best digital avalible today......and that would be SACD.....not Redbook....and these formats are not really that close.i have not heard better Redbook tha... | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 Allan, hopefully, you don't think i'm an audio snob....i certainly don't want to be. some comments in this thread mention that possibly Tenor owners are in another class or something like that.....i don't see it that way at all....just because you... | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 i think we should rename this thread "the Berning love-in"now.....let's all do a communal hug!;^)Enjoy the music, guys!! | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 Chris (and all you Berning-believers), my reason for starting this thread was to explain that while the Berning is a bang-for-the buck leader.....it is not in the realm of the Tenor. the differences my original post described are the things that s... | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 Kevin, i recieved my 1ds in November 2001, they were the first set made. no other sets of 1Ds were delivered until January or Feburary of 2002. if you heard them in Holland, was that in Charles von Oostrom's room?i am curious about your speakers..... | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 Kevin....ok...i'll bite....since until about a month ago i owned the only set of Kharma Exquisite 1Ds in the world and i am wondering just how you have such extensive experience with them to be sure they are "not a great speaker" and that some mys... | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 Kevin, if your friend has $15k Tenors, they are the 15 watt versions that you are comparing to your 90 watt Lamm ML1s. depending on the speakers you are using, your result is not too surprising.the 15 watt versions are designed for the Lamhorns (1... | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 Allan, the real issue to me is how do i as a music lover get the closest to the music. what products will allow me to remove barriers in the musical reproduction chain and allow me as complete musical enjoyment as possible.my opinion is that an OT... |
