| Review: Spica TC-60 Monitor Hi Andrew,I first bought used TC-50's in the early 90's. They sounded great, but the fit and finish was very poor. Around 96 or 97, I bought the TC-60's as a demo for $400 and they are still my main speaker today. As with much of my equipment, I c... | |
| Review: Music Hall mmf cd-25 CD Player The MusicHall mmf cd-25 replaced my old faithful Marantz cd 63SE about 6 months ago. I love the MusicHall. It is warmer and more musical than the dated but excellent for the money Marantz. I do miss the volume control and timer switch on the remot... | |
| What companies have gone above and beyond? Two other outstanding gentlemen should be mentioned. Knut at conrad johnson has always been very helpful, prompt and honest in all matters. An outstanding company. Also deserving mention is Don Scott, former stereophile writer and tuner guru. He h... | |
| Solid state amps under 1000 I just ordered the Musical Fidelity Acr3. I got a great deal on a demo piece. I have also been successful in selling my Hafler, so it has been a good transaction. I choose the MF because of glowing reviews, style and the demo comes with a 5 year w... | |
| What companies have gone above and beyond? Kevin Walsh at Homegrown Audio was extremely helpful when I purchased a used silverlace interconnect here at audiogon, and the ic turned out to be misrepresented and damaged. He sent me a replacement part for the rca connector free of charge and I... | |
| Solid state amps under 1000 Thanks for all the responses. I haven't heard the Aragon 8008, but I have compared my Hafler to the older 4004. For my taste, I preferred the Hafler which had a larger soundstage and greater sense of space and air. I enjoy bass but am not a bass h... | |
| Solid state amps under 1000 Thanks for all the suggestions. Sugarbrie, I don't know much about Blue Circle, but I thought they were tube amps. Is this a solid state design? What is the power rating etc? Eric, I will look into both Odyssey and Norh amps. Obviously I would pre... | |
| Tube pre amp with 2 outputs for Biamping Hi Brad,I tried responding to your email but it got kicked back. My C-J pv10a was the latest version (without balance control) before they updated to the current pv10b model. I do biamp occaisionally (always changing) so I wrote c-j service and as... | |
| Tube pre amp with 2 outputs for Biamping The conrad johnson pv10a does not have dual output jacks. | |
| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? Spica!! I still have tc-60's in my main system. Their ability to image and create a large believeable soundstage would have been a natural in the home theater craze. On a good night, when the goblins are asleep, I am amazed at how good my system c... | |
| Want speakers for 700 but none sound good. No one has mentioned Spica TC-60's. At times I feel they just disappear in my room that is approximately 12 X 16 and also has a hard floor. Since they are only available used, they will be hard to audition. I haven't heard most of the speakers abo... | |
| The best CD Player for the money mkanna,I have a musichall mf25, but it does not have a tube output stage. Tell us more about this mod. Have you compared it to an Ahtjoeb? | |
| Threshold T-50 vs Forte 4 ? Thank you all for your responses. From what I can determine, both the Threshold and the Forte use the IGBT transistors. Both are suppose to have 8 per channel. I am concerned about the reliability of these and potential service. Macdonj, do you ha... | |
| Music Hall MMF CD 25 or ??? I have also had my MMF CD 25 for about a month. I have been using it in my modest office system (NAD integrated/NHT Super Zeros)while I break it in. So far I have been very pleased. Sound is clear with good spacing and pace. I did have an occasion... | |
