| Amarra Regarding Alan Kafton's supposed lack of financial interest in VRS Audio Systems, Alan did not disclose that VRS is a dealer for the World Power "Power Wing" manufactured by Alan:http://www.vrsaudiosystems.com/audio-products.htmhttp://www.audioexc... | |
| Amarra Alan Kafton said: "Patent discloses that Vincent had asked to make contact privately in order to help him out...that's hardly shilling."I would agree if he had provided any help, but he did not provide even one sentence of help. He merely told me ... | |
| Amarra Whenever someone asks about Amarra on a web forum, Alan Kafton advises everyone to call Vincent or John at VRS. Similarly, when I posted a question about Amarra, Vincent asked me to email him privately for advice. His "advice" consisted of his tel... | |
| B&W vs Von Schweikert house sound? I auditioned the 802D at 2 dealers & one home, and the VR-4 SR at one dealer, before ultimately buying the Thiel 3.7.I did not find the 802D tonally neutral in any of the 3 very different systems. Apparently, getting it to sound neutral is ver... | |
| Wilson Sophia II vs. Thiel CS3.7 I think you're right that Thiel did not officially claim anything about the 3.7 being easier to drive (phase angle closer to zero) than previous models. I believe I got that idea from a non-quantitative statement by Thiel's customer service rep, G... | |
| Wilson Sophia II vs. Thiel CS3.7 I've owned the Thiel 3.7 for 10 months. Before buying it I auditioned the original Sophia. I've never heard the Sophia II, but the technical descriptions I've read of the changes seem pretty minor. They're still using the same Focal inverted dome ... | |
| Thiel 7.2 and the 3.7 Unlike most audiophiles, soundstaging is not important to me.I can say that the tonal balance of the Thiel is more uniform off-axis than any speaker I've heard, by a huge margin. | |
| Mendelssohn Srting Octet, op. 20, any suggestion? I just listened to the Cleveland Qt on Telarc for the first time in years. I retract my recommendation. I think it is too aggressive. However, you would like it if you like Solti at his most aggressive. | |
| Mendelssohn Srting Octet, op. 20, any suggestion? The Telarc recording by the Cleveland and Meliora Quartets is very good. | |
| Krell vs Levinson vs Pass vs Rowland Pass claims their new XA line maintains the clarity of the X series without the coolness.Pass' US patent 5,376,899 shows the balanced input in the X and XA series. My understanding of the circuit is that it requires a balanced input, or else half ... | |
| Best Web site for Audio. Has forums for several manufacturers, including Boulder Cable and VMPS. | |
| Two quick questions about VMPS The good news is that the prices remain the same as 1999! You can call VMPS at the phone number listed at the web site.(Their newest ribbon speaker, the RM-40, won the award for the best high end product at the CES show this month. That model is n... | |
| VMPS RM-40 - Anyone Heard In response to Schacter's questions:1. The only version of the ribbon midrange I heard was the current neodymium model. I also heard both the current and previous versions of the spiral ribbon tweeter. The current version has less distortion than ... | |
| VMPS RM-40 - Anyone Heard 1. QC: That should not be a concern. All parts are high quality. If a problem arises, just call VMPS and Brian Cheney will mail you new drivers or whatever is necessary. He mailed me a new driver for my STR-SE with no hesitation.2. Cabinetry: One ... | |
| Any feedback on the Levinson no.390s upgrade ?? I don't know which DAC *sounds* better, but the Burr Brown resistor ladder DAC in the 360 costs 5 times more than the Analog Devices delta-sigma DAC in the 390S. |
