| Usher X-929?????? >and they might make a better match with your setup and your ears.<Ahhhh, no. They did not. They didn't last very long, my Montanas dispatched them quickly.Oz | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr. Not being a fan of Vandersteens, I would opt for the VR4 Jrs. However, if you like your music on the warm, laid back side of reality, the 3As might be for you. I find Vandersteens to be non-offensive and easy to listen but hardly transparent or re... | |
| VR-4JR or USHER 6371 You need to rethink your priorities. If you are constrained by WAF or other issues, don't waste your money on expensive speakers to position as you describe. Your room is on the small side for floor standing speakers with ample bass extension. Com... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? And I can't even spell response.....too much budweiser tonight....Oz | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? Touche' Speakerdude! I have a pet peeve about these things too. Another favorite (not) of mine."These speakers have great base respones"....Don't you HATE that one?Oz | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? I'll chime in here. Pal, if you are looking at the RM9, you are a smart man. Blcube is using one with his Caravelles and you wouldn't believe how great it sounds. Great match. I have an RM9 as well with my Montanas and I love this amp. If you can ... | |
| Passive/Active preamps: pros and cons.... If your system is passive friendly (amp with high gain, low input sens., appropriate source, and reasonably efficient speakers) then there are absolutely no drawbacks at all to my ears in using a transformer based passive attenuator. I have a cust... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? If he has an average to medium sized room, I assure you he will not lack for deep bass, dynamics, or sense of scale. I don't own these, but a friend of mine does. So I feel comfortable making this claim. A highly musical speaker.Oz | |
| 3-D Movie Is A Metaphor for Non-Audiophiles >She already loves listening to Celine Dion on my system really loud<What a waste of a good system. Is the wall paper in your listening room still intact?Oz | |
| Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Speaker I agree about the Caravelles, amazing speakers.Funny thing though, the Caravelles have disappeared from the "Upcoming Reviews" section and have yet to reappear in the "Current Reviews" section. What's up with that?Oz | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? I have a Jolida JD100 which is about as good a cdp I have heard at any price.BUT.......it gets very little play time. Whenever I listen to a seedee I feel as though I am wasting precious time which could be spent listening to a rekkid......Oz | |
| Passive Pre's--Placette RVC or Luminous Axiom I am talking about apples vs. apples here. If he has already determined that a passive device will work in his system, then a TVC will best a resistor based passive. My amp has 37db of voltage gain and a 100K ohm input impedance. My phono preamp h... | |
| Passive Pre's--Placette RVC or Luminous Axiom Maybe you don't understand the concept of the TVC. It is a passive attenuator, but using the transformers instead of resistors for the attenuation. What you have is the same level of transparency as the Axiom or the Placette, but w/o the limitatio... | |
| Passive Pre's--Placette RVC or Luminous Axiom I would say forget both and go with a TVC based preamp. I have compared my custom preamp using S&B trannies to active linestages costing many times as much. No contest, the TVC is always the winner. And I have had the Placette in my system for... | |
| Advice on upgrading phono stage Your analog front end is identical to mine. I am using a K&K Audio phono stage with the Benz loaded @ 300 ohms. This preamp is the same as the Art Audio Vinyl Reference, which Kevin Carter of K&K helped design. Search the archives here and... |
