| New Focal Grande Utopia EM I'm just back from RMAF and heard those Grade Utopie EM. It one of my favorite sounds of the show. Admittedly I was sitting right in the sweet spot. Also, I was not familiar with the music, so I was not able to judge vs. what I believed to be the ... | |
| Kr Audio Kronzilla vs Atma-sphere MA1? I echo Trelja's thoughs and warnings, having owned a pair of KR 6000 monoblocks. I went through several of their VHD842 tubes which I bough new and they turned out to be faulty after about 100 to 200 hours of play. If you do go the KR route, and i... | |
| Possible to convert Apple Lossless to WAV.? Thanks guys for the continuing input. I'm inclined to keep going on transferring my CDs to PC with iTunes and Apple Lossless. Seems like the easiest path and hopfully retains highest quality source. I'll then need to figure out optimum dac, connec... | |
| Spectron hybrid plus monoblocks vs. Musician 3 Hi Lance:I recently picked up a Spectron Musician III (not the SE mk ii version). I'm very happy with it, although I've had a lot of changes in my system lately, so it's hard to really judge just how it compares to previous amps I've had. I am ver... | |
| Possible to convert Apple Lossless to WAV.? Thanks for the valuable input guys. This is the thread that I referred to:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?icomp&1220427207From what you say though, maybe I will just stick with Apple Lossless, and I guess there is a lot more I should r... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Mine died a couple of years ago, and Mick got me a replacement for a nominal cost. | |
| Upgrading from Supratek Pre to ? Hi Folks:Thanks for the thoughts so far. Yes, I fear I may be disappointed were I to part with the Syrah. I could try something new (but keep the Syrah) and sell the one I prefer less. I have my Syrah retubed with some exotic tubes that really do ... | |
| Speakers you regret selling Audio Physic Virgo II. I 'upgraded' to Focal JM Labs Diva Utopia Be. The Divas might be better (might have been underpowered with my 22wpc SET KR tube monos), but still, didn't sound as good really. The Virgo IIs are mighty special. | |
| class d I just purchased a Spectron Musician III (not the SE mk ii version), and should receive it in about a week. Am looking forward to trying it with my inefficient MBL 121 monitors. I've already dabbled with Class D - a pair of the older Nuforce 9.02 ... | |
| Best high current high power $5k amp for MBL 121 Just to update - I pulled the trigger on a Spectron. It's just the regular Musician III, but I intend to pursue an upgrade to full SE mkii at some point in the future. I haven't received it yet, but should have it in a week or so. Can't wait to po... | |
| MBL alternatives German Physics might be worth a look. Also omni-directional like MBL, although perhaps even more expensive. | |
| Own a TW-Acustic Raven One? Has anyone compared the TW tables to other mass loaded tables like Teres or Galibier? I have a Teres 255 and may pursue an upgrade if I thought it would be worth it. | |
| Just took delivery of the Red Wine Audio 30.2 and- I spent the last month with a partial upgrade 30.2, and I confess I'm not sure what the fuss is about. I was very impressed with the great service and attention by Vinnie, and the product (in this case the beautiful Omega zebrawood version) looked... | |
| 16K to Spend. Help me make the end all Upgrade. I second the recommendation on the Rockport Mira - was one of the three best rooms I heard at THE show in LA when I was there. It looks like an unassuming speaker and doesn't draw attention to itself - quite tasteful looking. Sonically, it is so c... | |
| Best high current high power $5k amp for MBL 121 Hi Guys:Thanks again for the input. I used to own the older model Nuforce 9.02 monos, and I sold them within a week of receiving them, as they were comfortably bettered by the KR amps I had at the time - very different amps, and I was using them w... |
