| Spend my $8,000 pt. 2 So I finally got to audition the rowland gear. I couldn't listen to the integrated, but I heard the concerto pre with the rowland 201s, with a meridian cd player and some B&Ws. The sound was unimpressive. Everything sounded rather condensed, e... | |
| How does Totem do it ??? I've never heard the shamans, and I know you can't judge a book by its cover BUT man are those things ugly. I love totem, but the shamans have about zero aesthetic appeal IMO. | |
| NPR, Wine Tasteing, & Audiophiles I've lived in Europe on a couple of different equations, and it always hurts going back to the states. Not that we can't get good wine, but man-oh-man do we pay a premium for it. I mean, even for Californian ones...some you can't even get if you'r... | |
| What's your dirty little secret? That's just plain sick Yr44...even if you're joking! | |
| NPR, Wine Tasteing, & Audiophiles Gunbei: I don't even know how that last made it past the moderators! ;) | |
| What's your dirty little secret? Elb: Figures that willy nelson would write that song. I've got a soft spot for it as well. I heard the working title was "The Green Connection" but he was worried people would think he was singing about money (as if anyone could make that mistake ... | |
| Spend my $8,000 pt. 2 Heli_dog: Thanks for the heads up. What are you using the Copland with? Have you compared its phono stage with anything else? I can't seem to find who reps them in NY, so I guess I'll email the copland people. Anyone have an idea?Also, any Rowland... | |
| Juicy Music Blueberry Extreme tastings anyone? Gotta say, when I first read the title I thought you were asking for opinions on a "Free Design" or "Donovan" album. Interesting looking equipment! | |
| NPR, Wine Tasteing, & Audiophiles Perhaps even more interesting is the article from the New Yorker's annual food edition from maybe two years ago, where a blind test was held of red and white wine both at room temp. This is going back a little, but as I remember it the panel was m... | |
| Spend my $8,000 pt. 2 R_f_sayles: It seems Jim White is good at customer service (some say he's slow, but I've had not experience, clearly, so I'll reserve any opinion) so should a problem develop I'm confident he'll stand behind the product. As far as the reviews go, ... | |
| What time do you wear? I'm personally a fan of old/antique Jaeger LeCoutre | |
| B&W JM Labs or Paradigm Signature S8.....Help? I doubt many on Agon have heard these, since they're relatively new, but JM Lab did release their Electra 1000BE series based off the success of the 937BE limited edition with the Berylium tweeter that's trickled down from the Utopia experience. T... | |
| What cables would sound best with my system?? Yeah, didn't want to make you think you should change the Arcam...while I'm overkill about power w/ the forests, I don't think everyone needs ot be as crazy as I am (the world is probably a better place for it). You might be able to find a pair of... | |
| What cables would sound best with my system?? What's your budget? I own the Totems and have heard the Arcam, though not together (would have thought 85 wpc would be a little lean for the Forests, but liked the Arcam so can see why the choice). I use Analysis plus Oval 9 cables with I like qui... | |
| Spend my $8,000 pt. 2 R_f_sayles: After reading your back and forth with the ARC supporters on Perfectionist's thread on the Calypso, I'm scared what would happen if I _didn't_ get the Janus. Actually, after a long discussion with a really helpful Agoner (and the posts... |
