| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? Audio Physic Virgo II Speakers. I've 'upgraded' four times since then and yet the Virgo has a balance, imaging and unfettered beauty that in some way eludes my more expensive speakers. They are an outright bargain if you can set them up properly. ... | |
| Mega-Speakers from Linn Audio.... I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who's quite put off by this Linn Audio outfit. I can't believe they choose to usurp an existing well respected audio company's name. I hope no audiophiles get the companies confused, but I fear that some will, ... | |
| Amplifier for Audio Physics Virgo II hi Yslee:I owned the Virgo II for a few years, and to be honest I still miss them dearly, despite having 'upgraded' to other speakers. I actually drove them with KR Audio 6000 monos, providing <30wpc, and I thought they sounded wonderful. I als... | |
| Whats the best $1500 tonearm for a Teres I've a Teres 255 and used to use an Origin Live Silver (with hi-fi mod) with Shelter 501mk2 and Denon DL103. I changed to an Airtech MG-1 air-bearing tonearm which I believe is about $700 or so now, with the air pump. In my opinion it's better in ... | |
| New favorite VINYL Album? "A Bande A Part" by this group called "Nouvelle Vagues". I was at Rocky Mouuntain Audio Fest last year and this album was played in the Verity/Aretemis/Schroeder room. It was dynamite. Luckily I managed to find the album online but had to get it s... | |
| Joule Electra or Wolcott Tube Amps, or...? Thanks for the useful comments guys. I'll take all into consideration. Samhar, your comment about my possibly not having a good enough circuit to handle the 1000 watts does worry me. I'm renting at the moment, so there's no chance of my investing ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks for the info Ait. I'll see can I get my hands on the GZ33. Just to mention, I was using the GZ37 on the Syrah for about 6 years, so it had a good innings. It really was so beautiful compared to the Bendix I'm using now which seems a bit har... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks Ait (Have you tried the GZ37 though - just curious about the comparison). | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century (I meant to say that the Bendix is not nearly as good as the Mullard, IMHO of course..) | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Rectifier tube question. I know i could probably find answers to this question if I spent an hour looking through these threads, but thought I'd just save time and ask outright. What is the best rectifier tube I can try for my Supratek Syrah? I've... | |
| Audio Physic Scorpio II room problems One tip I'll mention to get the best from these speakers (I used to own Virgo II) is to place them on sistrum stands. I used the 004 type. The difference was profound. The stands helped drain away excess energy from the speaker, and what was alrea... | |
| MBL 121 to full range speaker I too own the 121 monitors, and am likely going to get one or two subwoofers to go with them. If you are keen on getting full range speakers, you might consider German Physiks. They seem really interesting. The driver used is similar to the one us... | |
| The best "imaging" speakers? Audio Physic Virgo II. These image like nothing I've ever heard (and I've been to a few shows). I used to own a pair and 'upgraded' to MBL 121s. Even though others have cited the MBLs as imaging masters, the Virgos were even better IMHO. I miss th... | |
| Can I Transfer MusicGiants HD tracks to iTunes? Thanks Sfar, I tried a few traks now, and I realize I'm stuck as some of the WMA files I get from Music Giants include DRM, so i can't even convert them to Apple Lossless. C*$&. Just for a minute there, I thought I had a great source of new HD... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I can only weigh in as a happy Supratek Syrah owner. I bought my direct from Mick about six years ago. One of the remotes died about two years ago (four years after I had had the pre). I got a prompt response from Mick, who sent me a new remote fo... |
