| Atma-Sphere M60 or David Berning ZH270? Laoyuap, just to complicate things a little more, the Berning with all of the mods that Allan Bhagan has come up sounds notably different than the stock Berning. Neither Duke nor Swampwalker indicated whether they heard a stock Berning or a modded... | |
| Merlin Owners... You don't mention your budget, and these aren't cheap, but Stereovox works real well. Just ordered a pair after demoing them for a few weeks. | |
| Walker Audio Extreme SST Rushton, I have to agree with you. I had everything coated with the original SST, then about a month ago I replaced it with extreme SST, and yes, it is better, does even more than the original. I sent it to a buddy of mine to try, don't think he's... | |
| Merlin Owner's... I also have gone with piano black for the VSM-MX's, now I just have to figure out how to explain to my wife why the speakers look so much better all of a sudden :) | |
| Is it that time of the month? All of the above, unfortunately. | |
| What do you like about your "favorite" retailer? My local dealer has become my friend, really, not just in appearance only. Like many of the others above, he has allowed me to take items home to audition with no payment up front, treats me with respect even though I usually look/dress like a bum... | |
| Hook up of Bam w/Merlin speakers Did you get any information at all about the speakers? Like placement in the room, toe-in, etc.? These are all very important. If you didn't, and Bobby P. doesn't chime in here you might want to contact him at Merlin. He is always more than willin... | |
| Berning ZH270 help DId you switch tubes from one channel to the other to see if the problem changes channels? If you did and it stays in the same channel, it's probably not tubes. In that case I'd get in touch with David Berning or Allan Bhagan. | |
| Berning ZH270 Tweaks Tubegroover has covered most of the tweaks I know of, but I don't think he mentioned the caps upgrade which also came about through Allan Bhagan. Since I had the caps upgrade done along with the wire upgrade, I can't really say what it did by itself. | |
| Sophomore Slump? The best 2nd albums of all time Queen, Queen II, quantum jump in sophistication from the first album, all the elements were there in the first one, but didn't really come together until II. Also Be-Bop Deluxe, Futurama, the first one (Axe Victim) while good, was pretty straightf... | |
| Guitar Solos Since we're on a Steve Vai streak here, how about 'whispering a prayer' from Live in the Ultrazone. Hey Rich, if you check out the Steve Vai website he has a diary about his high school band days, and asks for information about gigs he has no reco... | |
| Talkin' bout YOUR generation... My time period would be the mid-70's--from 74 through 77. Prior to 74 I was into classical and big band jazz, because I was a trumpet player. Then I discovered sex, drugs and rock and roll (not necessarily in that order, actually it was the revers... | |
| Berning ZH-270 Amplifier,Which Speaker? Many of us who have the 270 pair it up with Merlin Milleniums. This is one of the best matches with Merlins, along with Joule. I'm not sure how much bass weight you want, but given the design of the Merlins w/ the BAM, you won't get the absolute l... | |
| Experience with Caig's ProGold G5? I got some Walker SST last week, so far I have only put it on my plugs, speaker cables, and the IEC pins for my CD player. Still have to do IC's and (if I get the nerve) tube pins. Immediate and significant results were obtained. Most notable was ... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC II CD Player This thread has been quiet for a while, but at one point someone asked others with the Spider to post their impressions. I just got one on Monday, put it in Monday night, but couldn't listen until today. My reactions are more or less in line with ... |
