| Zu Druids I agree wholeheartedly with Tvad. There isn't any speaker that will perform optimally in that type of situation. Just be aware that the sound will be compromised whatever you purchase. If you can live with that, fine. But you might want to rethink... | |
| Speaker placement.. My room is 26' long and 16' wide. I have my speakers 70" into the room (measured to the back of the speaker), and about 7' 9" apart (measured center to center). I sit about 9.5 ft. away from them. To my ears, this is magic in my room.Your biggst i... | |
| Top ten tube amps >Music reference fast and a little lean tonally, again not quite making that step into musciality,<Audiojoy4,Sounds like you are referring to the RM-200, and I would agree. That was my take on it too. The RM-9 in either iteration is a differ... | |
| Top ten tube amps The Music Reference RM-9 Mark I or II should be close to the top of any tube amp list. The CJ MV60 SE is another good 'un.Oz | |
| The Outlaw ruins X-mas >By the way, as a shopper, I think the practice of requiring ship to be the same as billing is a bad practice<I agree. This would make it impossible to buy a gift for someone and have it shipped directly to them. A scenario I could see being... | |
| Calling for opinions on Escalante Fremonts Duke,Very refreshing that you would give your opinion on a competitor's design, even at the risk of not flattering your own work. You don't find that type of honesty here, or anywhere for that matter, anymore. Here's hoping you have very good luck... | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? I agree about the careful system matching required with any passive, including a TVC. But when it all comes together, the dynamics, timing, bass extension, transparency...etc.... is all there in spades with a TVC. Mine has beaten some high dollar ... | |
| Has anyone heard the modified TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V You do NOT need to have the amp on. Just spin a disc on repeat. If the 8001 mod is anything like the 900v, you are looking at a long roller coaster ride before break in is complete. Hang in there, it will be worth the wait. And if you need a PC, p... | |
| coincident total eclipse/v.schweikert gen3 hse If one doesn't think the Gen III stacks up agains the Total Eclipse, the Jr. or Sr. probably won't either. I think the Gen III HSE is better than both of the newer VS offerings.Oz | |
| Art Audio Vinyl one vs Sutherland PhD Another vote for the K&K. I have had mine for over three years now and absolutely love it. And you won't find a better person to deal with than Kevin Carter. He is a true genius and all around nice guy.Oz | |
| My Jolida 100 skips even on new cds. How to fix? I had a Jolida for a couple of years. I had some problem discs with certain songs that it would not track. My TRL modified Sony tracks these discs without fail. I guess that the transport or error correction circuitry of the Jolida is not as good ... | |
| Thinking about selling my CD collection = MP3 >Think twice before selling! The MP3 files ain't as good as that which you are selling!!<After reading this whole thread, I don't think sound quality ever entered into the picture.Oz | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4sr MKII or Wilson Sophia "Forget It"That's not very nice when people are offering you sound advice. Hey, that rhymes.......Oz | |
| effect of tubes in cd players >I takes a lot of mods to get transistors to sing IMO<Thanks for helping to make my point.Oz | |
| effect of tubes in cd players >There is no reason why a tube design cannot sound a LOT like a decent SS design,<That is if you want your system to sound as though it has a "decent" amplifier. No thanks, not for me. I want my system to sound like it has a "good" tube ampl... |
