| Owner of "Anticables" and dealer for Spatial Audio is an amazing guy Subsonic, your impressions of the Spatial Audio speakers are identical to mine at Capitol Audiofest. I wanted to like them as they are in my price range and I wanted to try open baffle, but they were very harsh. The treble was nicely detailed, b... | |
| WHARFEDALE EVO 4.2 - any info? dvdboulet, the chef?I also heard the $999 Evo 4.2s at Capitol Audiofest and they sounded much better than I expected. Definitely worth an audition if they are in your price range. The Mofi/Wharfedale room was using a Rogue Audio Sphinx which doe... | |
| New Janszen zA2.1 Valentina Review Lance, I never post here on Audiogon, or at least not for years, but I just posted a lengthy Capitol Audiofest trip report on another audio site and may post it here as well. The Janszen room was my favorite, and the only other room I thought was... | |
| How do I beat my Antique Sound Labs AV25? If they are still in production, then anyone lookingto try out tube amps should buy a pair and upgradethe tubes to Electro Harmonix. Amazing bargain. | |
| Name three of yours the most favourite drummers Try Brian Blade, and a not very well known drummer with shockingly good technique, Jojo Mayer, who started doing some very interesting live drum and bass music in the 90s in NYC(I hate synthesized music, and love watching Jojo play, so don't let t... | |
| Modern day female jazz recommendations Rosa Passos for some excellent, well recorded modern bossa nova. By the way, I checked out Madeleine Peyroux based on recommendations in this thread and absolutely love her singing. | |
| Jazz Lovers: Have You Heard This Awesome Piece? Haven't heard this yet, but I love Brian Blade's playing. He has an excellent understanding of how to kick a song along in an economical manner. I saw him with Joshua Redman's Elastic Band back when that album was released. | |
| Who likes LATIN JAZZ? I swear I posted a response to this thread a few days ago but I don't see it now.You should try Tito Puente's Night Beat, some old Chico O'Farrill, Bebo Valdess Big Band album El Manisero (wonderful!), and for better sound quality, The Latin Train... | |
| Question About Biasing KT66 Tubes Thx for the responses. I tried emailing ASL, but they did not reply. I am going to do some trial and error work to determine what sounds best and will report back. | |
| Passive Preamp for Atmaspheres? I received my Endler Attenuators in the mail yesterday, and am awaiting the arrival of my Atma S-30 next week (the wait is killing me!). My question is, do I need anything other than my standard RCA interconnects? It appears that the attenuators m... | |
| Passive Preamp for Atmaspheres? I hadn't heard about those Scott Endler attenuators. I was considering the more expensive, nude ultimate attenuators, but The Endler's seem to get great reviews and at $160/pr. I just about have to try them out.All responses greatly appreciated. A... | |
| Budget Preamps for Atmaspheres? My speakers are Soliloquy 8.2s. They were one of the first 2 models produced when Cary/Dennis Had owned the company. They are probably 91db (no documentation available for these), and I'm not sure of the impedance, but I think even the smaller Atm... | |
| Budget Preamps for Atmaspheres? I appreciate the responses, but my problem is that there is no way i can afford to buy an atmasphere and an expensive preamp, so atmasphere preamps and aesthetix are out of the question. I've never used a preamp, so I'm not quite sure how great an... | |
