| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 Allan, i accept your challenge....i live in the Seattle area....this should be more of a fair fight....which the above was most definitely not.let me know what i can do to assist setting this up.and Albert, i agree the best part was the great vinyl. | |
| What is the most decadent, most self indulgent-- David, i had been on the lookout for a "good" copy of this lp for awhile, $225 was very self-indulgent, but the record just flat makes me smile and remember back when.........if you are ever in the Seattle area come on over and listen to it with me. | |
| What is the most decadent, most self indulgent-- it might be any of four different choices......maybe it is the Transparent Opus MM speaker cable ($23500 list) or maybe the Kharma Exquisite 1Ds ($70000 list) or maybe my Wind's stylus guage ($650 list) or maybe the Linn CD-12 ($20000 list).......... | |
| Opinions on Marantz SA1 SACD CD Player the Marantz SA-1 is a good to very good cd player....about on par with $3k to $5k cdps. if you modify the SA-1 you will raise the cd performance to near-reference quality....this can cost you $2k+. your total investment would be in line with the p... | |
| Power cord to use on Marantz SA-1 SACD player ? my Vegas hangover.....all these damn acronyms and so few brain cells. ;^) | |
| Power cord to use on Marantz SA-1 SACD player ? as Mes said, i prefer the EPS (Elrod power system) cords to my previous reference the Shunyata King Cobra v.2 and the new Python on the Marantz SA-1. the differences are not huge but they are definite to my ears. the SA-1 is very hi-resolution and... | |
| Why no threads on OTL amps? those comments were in Positive Feedback in the letter's section a few years back.....he and Gizmo were going at it good as i recall.....i have the issue....will dig it out later. | |
| Hydra-what cords do you use to your components? EPS-3 from the wall to the Hydra, and EPS-2 to the Linn CD-12 and Marantz SA-1; EPS-3 to the phono stage. EPS (Elrod Power System) from David Elrod. | |
| Why no threads on OTL amps? this is not about words, but about performance. i am another fanatical Tenor owner. so far in my experience, the Tenor easily out-performs ANY other amp in my system (or any system with reasonably OTL friendly speakers).i would love to hear ANY am... | |
| purpose of dual rca inputs on mono amp? one might be phase inverted.....just a SWAG. | |
| The most beautiful Integrated Tube amp? the Tenor 75Wi integrated monoblocks are not only beautiful; they are the best sounding amps i have yet heard. as an OTL design they do have drive limitations but if your speakers have a resonably flat impedence curve the Tenors will work for 89db... | |
| Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly hi Tim, what i do in the privacy of my home and room is my business.....but if you must know.... i first get a big shit-eat'n grin on my face....think of how lucky i am to be able to enjoy my system....and then go to work (about 55 hours a week) t... | |
| Halcro VS Boulder amps, which one is better ? i heard the Boulder at a dealer a few times and wasn't impressed (it seemed grainy and dark).....but i would add that i never cared for the overall system it was in...Wisdom speakers that were never properly dialed in....they couldn't figure out t... | |
| Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly i'm with Tim and Craig....the only "facts" that matter to me are my ears....technical theory regarding loudspeaker design is just that....rationalizations not realizations.when you hear a very coherent, seamless, full range, dynamic multiple drive... | |
| Jena cables hi Guys, as jtinn said....i have only actually compared the Jena Labs Symphony speaker cable to the Transparent Opus MM in my system......as jtinn said the Opus was better but the Jena Labs was very good....probably as good as any other besides th... |
