| Photopoint Pic Posting Site Dead? Alternatives? Thought I would add my very positive experience since the posting of this thread with www.fototime.com . | |
| Audio Research D400 mkII ARC proved they can make world class Solid State with the 100.2. The ARC 100.2 is remarkedly close to a 6550 Push Pull tube amplifier (the ARC VT-50 in my case) in my system (read Soundstage's review ( http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/marklevins... | |
| Audio Research VT-50 Question Taters: Did you check the bias yourself or have someone else do it? | |
| Audio Research VT-50 Question Taters, two questions: 1.) Did you do any biasing or just put the "matched" tubes in? 2.) Where did you buy your tubes? Thanks! | |
| Who's the Cadillac of Hi-End Audio? Unless Cadillac gets purchased by Toyota it is not an appropriate comparison. American parts assembly owned by Japanese Multinationals and you get: McIntosh (but they still call upon some of the best they have had to design some of their best tube... | |
| Best Digital Amps In addition to other companies like Bel Canto that will likely be around in 10 years and have world class real support, there are offerings from Audio Research: model 150.2 (not their 5 channel capable 150-M, but a new 2 channel listed at $2495)se... | |
| SACD Opinions: Gimmick? Like it? Don't? Why? Opps, forgot to mention my speakers are Talon Peregrine X mark IIs on the Nest Stands. | |
| SACD Opinions: Gimmick? Like it? Don't? Why? When SACD is done right it is incredible. No question. The ease and the delivery is completely natural when done properly. But it be just good or plain bad. Very recording dependent. I stepped into the waters very slowly expense wise with a Philli... | |
| Hovland HP-100: Success with vibration control PS: Forgot to mention my Hovland is quite as a tomb in Antarctica and that is saying something given I have 94db efficient speakers that would pick up the smallest traces of background noise! I am currently using a FIM Gold PC on the Hovland. | |
| Hovland HP-100: Success with vibration control Trout, what do you mean by murky quality? Some early versions of the HP-100 are reported to have a low level noise issue that was there before music was playing but could not be discerned when music was playing. After recognizing this issue, Hovla... | |
| Talon Raven-C Owners please help I have the Talon Peregrine X Mark IIs (last version). I have enjoyed great success with the Analysis Plus Solo Crystal interconnects and speaker cables. I use to have a variety of cables including the Analysis Plus Oval 9s (Solo Crystal 8s are tad... | |
| FIM Gold: Flexible Alternatives. Probably just me but I don't get anything meaningful to consider from sweeping statements that cord X "outperforms" cord Y without thoughtful specifics anymore than someone telling me to get car X since it outperforms car Y without telling the "ho... | |
| FIM Gold: Flexible Alternatives. It has been said in many places but "bears" repeating again within the context of this thread: "Taste in music and its reproduction is an exact parallel to taste in food: What makes it right is person dependent." (maybe we should call this the "Go... | |
| FIM Gold: Flexible Alternatives. I have tried the FIM Gold PC on digital sources and I agree it is fantastic cord whereever you place it. I rotate equipment around between systems so I need to get to the cords every few months. I just have to revisit the stiffness issue again and... | |
| FIM Gold: Flexible Alternatives. Any other suggestions from non-vendors? |
