| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... I just paged thru your blog. Very impressed with both the blog and the work done building your AN amp. You should be proud... bravo! | |
| some of the best speaker cables under $250 Dave - what is "pcocc"? | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo Mk2 or Daedalus Ulysses v2 I've owned the Ulysses. Nice speakers with exceptional cabinetry... but I agree with Roscoe and Kiethr in that they don't excel in the areas you desire. I sold mine to go back to Harbeth M-40.1's. | |
| Aesthetix,cary audio and pass lab synergy I've owned Dyn C2's & C4's. IMO, they are not as power hungry as many believe. You would be just fine with Pass XA 60's... BTW their XA series amps seem to be preferred over their higher powered class AB "X" series amps. Don't assume you have ... | |
| My wife passed yesterday Very sorry for your loss. My sympathies to you and your family. | |
| AMR with Dynaudio? I browsed the 6moons review and came away with the impression that the AMR integrated would be a nice match with your Dyn 3's. The build quality looks impeccable and I like the hybrid element which lends to the possibility of tweaking the sound th... | |
| Audiogon suggestion box I agree with Tonykay. If you want something bad enough, you need to be willing to pay the asking price, or wait for another one to come along. | |
| Who else is waiting for a pair of Harbeth 40.1's ? I just got my second pair of used 40.1's a few weeks ago. I had to wait about a month to get mine, but it felt like forever... but waiting 5 months is crazy! Di you call Fidelis AV (assuming you are in the US)? There's a nice used pair in Cherry l... | |
| ILLusion Liquid Air Umbilical for Modwright units Best tube combo I found for the MW 5400ES was 1966 Mullard (Hammond) 5AR4 rectifier with 1940's VT-231 RCA's (sourced from Brent Jessee Supply). Just sold my MW 5400ES for EAR Acute II CDP. Apples and oranges comparison... both very nice. The MW 5... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Musical Fidelity NuVista M3 integrated... gaudy appearance and low fi sound quality. Simaudio W-6 monoblocks. | |
| Leben CS600 vs McIntosh MC275 I used the MC275 with Harbeth M-40.1's a few years back and it was a nice combo. I have no experience with the Leben, but I'm sure you'd be fine with either amp. | |
| Crisp sounding tubes for Modwright 5400ES I'm new to the Modwright 5400ES owners club. IME, swapping out the stock Sovtek 5AR4 with a 1965 vintage Mullard 4 notch 5AR4 (rebranded Hammond from Brent Jesse Recording & Supply) made a huge difference. Adjectives that describe the improvem... | |
| Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers? Harbeth SHL5's or 30.1's | |
| Ayon CD2S vs ModWright XA-5400ES Ultimate Truth Scot - Let me know if you want to sell your ModWright XA-5400ES w/Ultimate Truth mods. | |
| Is the Musical Fidelity Nu-vista M3 outdated I had one for a very brief spell. I found the sound quality below average and the appearance was gaudy. I sold it quickly. |
