| 845 integrateds I would also recommend the Carissa from Art Audio. Great amp, great company. | |
| best turntable under $5k Pedrillo, I like the Sota with vacuum.Musicdoc, I hear Professor Lirpa will have his best version yet coming out in about 6 1/2 months. Can't wait. | |
| Using Bad Recording to Evaluate a System Yr44, I like your method. I assume besides the 1 bad CD you also take a good one. For me, the music has to serve me. I don't want to be limited to Rebecca Pidgeon/Spanish Harlem/Chesky or the like. The best 2 words I could use to describe my taste... | |
| New Cowboy Junkies- Wow Jond, Thanks for reminding me about them. I bought TTS many tears ago, one of my favorite CD's, but haven't listened to it in a while. After reading your post I bought ETCB yesterday and izza winner. My favorite cut on first listen is #4. | |
| Powering off vs leaving on Turn it on in the morning, off at the end of the day. That's better than cycling many times a day. The other choice would be leave it on 24/7. One problem with 24/7 is there can be many short duration electrical spikes a day not to mention one lon... | |
| Which speakers excel at low volume? I think Aroc and Stehno are both right. When I had some Soundlabs the low level detail was astounding with some pushpull tubes. On some multidrivers a single ended pure class A amp brought out more detail at lower levels. Marry the 2 and enjoy. I'... | |
| Curiousity killed..... James50, I don't see it as "obvious that Mac does not have the same confidence....". Mac sells many more types and volumes of products all over the world. It may just be an accounting nightmare to have to go back into their records for 20 yrs. Mac... | |
| PX25 SET amps-Art Audio, Audion, Wavelength??? Nicely done Kevin. Wait til you see that Art Audio in a dark room. The 2 things I look forward to with my Symphony II is turning it on and waiting for night. Joe Fratus may have a few equals but none better. Enjoy. | |
| Curiousity killed..... Satisfaction brought... ( to end your title quote ).Because that is what each company feels is best for them. | |
| 6 Moons Reviews Zu Cable Definition Speaker Another way to look at it is he had the Avantgardes, at 20k and he likes the Zu's better at 9k. Whether he got them free or paid 1000 to 7000 for them, I don't care. It's arguable whether 9k for anything is a value. It is not arguable that 9k is l... | |
| PX25 SET amps-Art Audio, Audion, Wavelength??? I think any one of the 3 you mentioned would be among the best with each designer putting his voicing signature on it. I personally like Art Audio, the product, and the man, Joe Fratus. | |
| 300B or 845? Read what Jax2 said twice. Also, 96db is only part of the equation. Not falling much below 8 ohms is important. With the right speaker the 300b might be the ticket for your female midrange and acoustic music. The more demanding the speaker the 845... | |
| Most beautifull turntables today.... I lust after the black Basis Debut Vacuum, not their new statement piece which I think is going to be in the next Spiderman movie. I love wood and have 2 Sota Stars, one in Koa and the other in the nicest Rosewood I've ever seen. | |
| Regarding Magnepan MMG speakers 2 feet behind might be ok. Toe them in a little so they are not square to the wall. You might try some diffusion, either the old fake ficus tree or maybe you already have some plants or bookcases you can try behind them. What about just moving the... | |
| Fake plants behind speakers a good idea? I once had some fake plants that played music. They sounded better when I put some speakers beind them. |
