| Is upgrade from Revel M20 to Revel F30 worth it? I'm in the F50/52 camp though I do not currently own a pair. It's an outstanding speaker. The M22 sounds robbed of life in comparison. | |
| Crown commercial amps for home use? I have a K2 and, although it makes an excellent bass amp, in full range duty it yields a very slightly strident sound in the midrange through treble areas. it's not a bad sounding amp full range but, it just doesn't exhude the transparency and pur... | |
| Anyone heard the Zu Cable "Druids".... Thanks for the info Brian. Looking forward to the newsletter. | |
| The very best new/used under $3k for classical? The VS VR-4jr isn't too bad and, looks outstanding. The Gallo Ref, as already mentioned, is a first rate speaker too. I like'em both quite a bit. I have also read some mighty good things on the Zu Cable Druid speakers. Might be worth looking into.... | |
| Looking for a new speaker: VR 4 Jr vs. Hps 938 I like the VR-4 jr too. Just a very good all around speaker that is eminently musical. Nice looking cabinetry to boot. | |
| DarTZeel Preamp "Jtinn" why don't you drop the vitriol and face reality. There was nothing wrong with the Soundstage review. I just read it and it seemed extremely honest and to the point. Yes, there is an opinion in the review but, that's what this hobbly thrive... | |
| anyone heard zu definition speakers? At $9K+ they are not going to be showing up at my door. Maybe the rich neighbors on the other side of town, but not mine. The Zu guys appear to be a talented and dedicated bunch, so let's hope the next piece of innovation they bring us is priced f... | |
| What Is The Best CD Changer Player Out There? A relatively inexpensive changer that sounds unusually good is the Decware DEC-685. This is a modified Sony DVP 685 changer and is now discontinued. However, I believe Decware may still have some for sale. I have had one for over a year without an... | |
| Speaker Recommendations Try the B&W DM 603 S3. There is a review in this months issue of Stereophile and, it was a dandy. I've only heard them once and was suitably impressed. Seems like a bargain for $1K. | |
| 6 Moons Reviews Zu Cable Definition Speaker Well, it would be an understatement to merely say that he liked them. But, I find it difficult to call a $9k speaker a bargain. There is quite a bit of competition when you get into the upper 5 figures and there are some baby dolls in this price r... | |
| Cayin CDT 15A Tube CD Player. Advice Needed I've owned the Jolida JD-100 and enjoyed it immensly. Grainless yet full of vigor and life. Not as smooth or refined as some of it's competitors, such as the Consonance 2.0 and 2.2 but, in some ways more realistic sounding - at least to my ears. T... | |
| Anyone heard the Zu Cable "Druids".... Well, I'm in NC and PA is a bit too much of a jaunt. But thanks for the offer. I would like to hear them to see if they would suit my preferences. By the way, do you notice any beaming? Is the sweet spot small?I like what 6-Moons had to say about ... | |
| Parasound HCA-3500, Am I Crazy? Mr. bill, no the Topaz 100 does not hum or buzz. It is not a true ferroresonant transformer like that employed in the Topaz model 800. So it's efficiency remains high and noise virtually non-existant. It will not degrade dynamics on a power amplif... | |
| Parasound HCA-3500, Am I Crazy? "Sean" is correct, address your power line issues with a quality conditioner then use an ordinary power cable of sufficient size. And, a preamp doesn't burn much current. Don't waste money on some long-green high zoot cable because it will never p... | |
| Any vets among the Audiophiles here? Navy, '71-'76, USS Grant (SSBN 631). There are only two types of ships, submarines and targets. |
