| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet I've heard both. Personally, I didn't like the Mephisto. I thought it sounded too soft, too lush. It definetly didn't have the weight or focus of the Electrocompaniet. As far as detail, soundstage, and decay- it doesn't get much better this side o... | |
| Do you approve of "How Stereophile Market itself"? But to answer the original question, no I don't approve | |
| Do you approve of "How Stereophile Market itself"? This has been a great post. I learned a lot from my fellow A-Gonners, and feel that everyone of you has hit the target in your own individual way. The problems that "3 Chi" has written about, however, are problems that exist in the magazine busine... | |
| Bi-Amping B&W 802N - Who's doing it and with what? I'm using 4 Monarchy Audio SE-100 Delux' to drive my N802's. I would have preferred to go balanced, but my processor won't allow that. Single ended is just fine however, and I don't have to worry about gain variations with this configuration. At a... | |
| Do stands / spikes improve B&W 802N performance? Both suggestions above may be correct, but that is impossible to know without telling us anything about your room , its layout, furnishings, etc. I use them (N802's)in my theater, and the spikes are perfect in that application. However, the sound ... | |
| Basis Model 2100 vs Michell Orbe SE II My advice would be to buy the Basis. Then, send what is already a darn good arm to Origin Live, and let them convert it into something that apparently can compete with the super arms, and for a reasonable cost.(WWW.Originlive.com). No offense to t... | |
| Can Someone Explain This? I'm not sure what filtering Electrocompaniet uses in their player. I am using Perpetual Technologies P1A/P3A, and I had to send the P3A back for service because it was seriously cutting off high frequencies. Like you, when I compared it to another... | |
| Stock Power Cords? Everyone who reads this thread should do themselves a huge favor and read this month's issue of the Sensible Sound. Myth's are exposed on Power Cords, line conditioners, etc. It was excellent, and a must read for anyone who is lookingg to spend so... | |
| Stock Power Cords? I bought new power cords for all of my gear, which has been an investment of over 35 grand (for the gear). I have to tell you, I'm not sure if it did anything. I can't hear any significant improvements, nor any change that would be considered cons... | |
| How do Newforms sound? I had the opportunity to listen to them at the New York show last May. I thought they were excellent. Then, after listening to them a couple times, my opinion changed. You see, I thought they imaged really well. Detail was nice too. Even the bass ... | |
| former BAT vk200 owners-what did you move up to? I used the BAT in my home for almost a month. It had already been broken in by the dealer, and I liked it. I was driving my Talon Peregrines with it.However, I heard an Electrocompaniet AW 250DMB at another dealer, and he was driving a pair of Per... | |
| Best cartridge for Planar 25 I purchased a Benz Micro ACE low output for my Basis 1400. It has an Origin Live RB300 tonearm. My phono preamp is an Electrocompaniet ECP-1. I'm very happy with the cartridge, and glad that I didn't go with the Dynavector. I thought the Dyna was ... | |
| CD Player to match with ARC and B&W 802 Martix Electrocompaniet 24/192 CD player. The best I've heard regardless of price. Not cheap, but can be had for around $3200. | |
| How do Klipschorns compare with modern designs? Let me start by saying, GREAT POST! This one will be sure to open up a can of worms worth reading. In my own humble opinion, I would state that there are really no modern designs. Just better applications (in some cases) of what's been out there f... | |
| Aragon 8008BB or Odyssey Stratos power amp I'd go with the Aragon. It will definetly sound better than the Active 40's, which are great speakers. However, there is no comparison in amplification. Nor is there any substitute. I also would like the Aragon because I think the entire series of... |
