| Does highend heavy amps needs ampstands? Elizabeth, have you anything to back up your assertions about the ill effects of vibration on solid state circuitry or are you repeating something someone repeated to you because that person had heard it also repeated. I think I am being repetitio... | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? Say it ain't so Joe. | |
| Keeping track of your records That's great, now you know exactly when the ticks and pops will be heard and if you are willing to sacrifice your stylus to any given obstacle course! | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" Recently bought, often spinning:Rediscovery: "Herb Alpert presents Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66"; for old time sake.Hard to get tune leads to discovery of whole cd: Hugh Masekela, "Hope"; for the track used in a Burmester sampler CD. "Stimela"; tur... | |
| ++++StereoPhile Class A components+++++ My main objection to the Recommended List is that it does not really represent components believed by all the staff of the magazine (or even a majority) to be worthy of inclusion, but what a reviewer thinks should be tossed into a given category f... | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? Redbeard, when all is said and done, some folks will still want the expensive cables and all the bogus explanations that come with them. There is little point in attempting to convince the subjective audiophile. The arguments will go round and rou... | |
| What's up with the analog "echo" phenomenon? Ah the joys of vinyl, the perfect analog medium. Makes listening to music more exciting since you have a taste of what the next groove will deliver. It's even better than "continuousness": it is an overlap almost. So you see, digital has holes bet... | |
| Advice wanted I would pick speakers first and find amplification to get the best out of the speakers chosen. If you do it your way, my suggestion is Krell, since it can probably drive the proverbial brick. The VTL preamp seems more attractive to me, for very fu... | |
| Speaker wire change Rsbeck, not a very popular position around here, but I agree with you. How much improvement does the original poster expect from speaker cables? The manufacturers and the insane audio press have done quite a number over the years convincing 95% of... | |
| Choking more SPL's out of Maggie 3.6's It isn't those Brystons, I'm sure. The setting of the switch on the back of the amps could be something to look into. I wonder what is the best position for Maggies. Maybe someone with this combo could tell you what they use or you could always ex... | |
| Something wrong with the Studio 100 v.2? No bloated bass with mine driven by Bryston 7B STs. In fact, if one thing struck me when I got these speakers it was how low and quick the bass is. They did sound unremarkable with my previous amps, especially when I got a tube line stage. Once I ... | |
| new Paradigm Reference? AA= Audioassylum. Try the following:www.audioasylum.com/audio/index.html | |
| Do Transports Matter??? TOK 2000, I don't think anyone has said that "science" is the only thing that matters. Maybe defining that offensive word "science" would be a start. You seem to believe that human hearing does go beyond 20Khz. I happen to think that most male adu... | |
| new Paradigm Reference? Yes, Paradigm will be coming out with a flagship model. It was presented as static demo at CES, I believe. You can find pictures on AA. The difference in price between their present top of the line 100v2s and the newer model is large. It all depen... | |
| Do Transports Matter??? I'm with you brother! Unfortunately, science is a dirty word and digital even more so. We are talking "audiophilia" here, no less. It exists because I heard it and don't be so bold as to call me on it! Now back to my cones and things... |
