| Revel Concerta F12 vs. Monitor Audio RS6 I have never found the RS6s to be bright or fatiguing. Maybe I am fortunate to have paired them with a suitable amp. I am driving them with Quicksilver midmonos. | |
| Revel Concerta F12 vs. Monitor Audio RS6 I have, and I much preferred the RS6. I found the sound to be more refined with a fuller sound stage and better imaging. I am not just saying this, I bought the RS6.The rs6 were also considerably smaller, have nicer real wood veneer finish and the... | |
| Should I Try a Tube Preamp? Kencalgary,I know where you are coming from. I was there about a year ago. Start with the speakers, then if you want the tube sound I recommend a tube power amp.I started with Monitor Audio RS6 speakers followed by Quicksilver Mid-mono monoblocks,... | |
| Will mother move your speakers at Thanksgiving? This is a great thread Besides killing guests for putting drinks on speakers and then using their chalk lines as deterrent for others (dont get me wrong this is brilliant plan) are there any more practical suggestions, or at least ideas for a goo... | |
| Is Kind of Blue the Best Jazz Album Ever Jiminlongansquare,I not what you mean, I feel guilty playing it when my wife is around, since I owned the record while I was still a bachelor. If vinyl could talk, the stories my collection could tell... | |
| Is Kind of Blue the Best Jazz Album Ever I'll conceed, "jazz" may be too broad a term. How about best ("best" as qualified in my original post) "Bebop Jazz" album.I am not claiming that KOB is the best, as in technically or artistically above the rest in its genre. I know that there are ... | |
| Cozi fan Tutti, EMI or Angel Records? The EMI pressing is audibly superior.Here is my review of the Angel vs EMI pressings. The biggest difference is that the pressing is 2 or 3 dB louder. As a result it is more detailed and the sound stage is more forward.This of course ignores the i... | |
| Cozi fan Tutti, EMI or Angel Records? I finally picked up the Angel recording. I now have both pressings in my possession. I havent had the time to really listen closely for the subtle differences between the two. However, the EMI record is definitely worn. The Angel recording has no... | |
| Cozi fan Tutti, EMI or Angel Records? Chatta,I have been away and I didn't get a chance to exchange the record yet. Hopefully over the weekend. | |
| Review: Ortofon OM-5e Cartridge I recently replaced my OM-Nightclub E for Ortofon's 2M Blue. (I hope I am not too late, the last post on this thread was in 2007.) By and large I am satisfied with the 2M Blue. Have you had the chance to compare these cartridges.I still have two O... | |

| Y power cable for Monoblocks Power isn't signal. There's miles & miles of wire out there before wwe tap into it... a few more feet won't hurt there... as you're about to do.Agreed, power isn't signal. However, following your logic, power cords should have no impact on the... | |
| Y power cable for Monoblocks Al,I am glad I can depend on you for answers to all my electrical questions :o). The Hammond power strip looks great I checked it out on the net. The price seems right too. The local Hammond distributor is located right next door to the audio shop... | |
| Cozi fan Tutti, EMI or Angel Records? I picked up the EMI version. It sounds great except! The vinyl appears in pristine shape but when the soprano hits her high notes (when it should feel like the wine glasses will shatter), the sound turns to $!?@.There is considerable sibilance, an... | |
