| Audience Au24 with high current SS amps.... First scenario:Midrange and tweeter fuses blow on the left speaker with Classe CA-200 at moderate - high volumes. Fuse did NOT protect tweeter. I suspsected the amp passed DC.Second scenario:This one was the fault of the previous owner who put the... | |
| Review: Von Schweikert Audio VR4 Gen III Speaker I highly doubt that the Jrs. will be able to replace the Gen IIIs. YMMV.....Oz | |
| How good is the phono card in BAT pre-amps? I had the 3i with the phono card several years ago. It was only just good enough. Not anything you would want to use in a highly resolving system.Oz | |

| Tonearm for Nottingham Spacedeck The Blue Note arms are very good. But you would really need to match them with a cartridge of appropriate compliance. They didn't work very well with a Shelter 501 II or Benz L2. The sound was good, just not great. But I have heard the Borghese wi... | |
| What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers? No names were called. Absurd describes your post, not you.First I apologize for my misunderstanding of your meaning of "low level resolution". In my mind it meant resolving information that is normally not heard, such as sounds well into the backg... | |
| What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers? >lack of low level resolutiondiffuse imagingneed for power<Only your third point is correct. The first two are absurd.Oz | |
| Bryston Amp for Magnepan 3.5R How timely your question is. I just picked up a pair of 3.5rs and bought a Classe CA-200 to mate with them. The Classe is an extremely nice sounding amp. It is very neutral and does not really sound like tubes or SS, it just sounds natural. And th... | |
| What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers? I owned a pair of hot rodded 1.6s a few years ago and loved them. After straying from the maggie sound for a while I picked up a pair of 3.5rs last weekend and just took delivery of a Classe CA-200. Boy does this combo just plain make music. Befor... | |
| Best amp for gallo ref3a speakers 9 used pairs of these on Agon right now, with only two pending sales. You would think you should get plenty of answers, since there seem to be lots of people who have tried and failed with them.Oz | |
| Time for a "massive" turntable: Spacedeck vs Scheu I have not heard any Moerch arms, but I have owned two Spacedecks and both the Space arm and now the Ace-Space. Other arms I have had on this table:RB600Bluenote BorromeoBluenote BorgheseOL EncounterTo my ears, none had the synergy of Nottingham's... | |
| What phono stage candidates should I consider? If you are shopping in the 4000.00 price range, you should put the K&K phono stage on your list. You just might be able to keep 2K in your pocket for records.Ozwww.kandkaudio.com | |
| Goldpoint Passive Preamps If you like it now, the best is yet to come. It's hard to describe how a TVC in the proper system can sound better than the most expensive tube preamps I have heard or owned. Give it a couple hundred hours and you will surely be impressed.Oz | |
| Salk HT3 vs VAS VR4jr I am somewhat in agreement with Dave. While I wouldn't say I hated the Sr.s, in a side by side comparison with the DB-99s, there was no contest. The DB-99s were muuuuuccch better. I would love to see a pair of them come up on the used market when ... | |
| Teres Motor on a VPI HW-19 Turntable From what Doug describes, you should probably pass on the Teres motor. If the SAMA doesn't get you where you want to be, then it's probably time to dump the HW19 and move on. It's really a dinosaur in the VPI line anyway.Oz |
