| Review: Aesthetix Calypso Line Stage Tube preamp After living with the unit since August I find the volume control to be just fine. There is a way to cut it by 6db which makes the volume control much more sensitive, but it takes quite a bit to ramp up the volume. I was also concerned that there ... | |
| "...Pet Free..." Bought a pre once loaded with cat fur, even stuck all over the rubber footers...Nice. | |
| Aesthetix Calypso and Herron VTSP 2 I introduced the Calypso into my system last August and I have been enjoying music like never before. I have no itch to upgrade anytime soon. And I don't know what I could move onto from here anyway without spending at minimum double the money. I ... | |
| Mapleshade Silclear Boy, some interesting observations here. I just checked and I first introduced SilClear into my system 7/16/05, and I was so smitten with it that I listed it on my system page. I treated all ic's (xlr & se), pc's and the main fuses on my JC1 m... | |
| Parasound JC-1 amps. Preamp advice?? I'm going to concur with Mimberman, as I am using an Aesthetix Calypso with JC1's to great effect. Unfortunately, I can't talk to the phono section of the Janus, as I don't do vinyl. From a technical standpoint, the Calypso mates beautifully with ... | |
| What's With the Ring Radiator Tweeter? Von Schweikert also uses it. From their website...Due to new developments in transducer design, VSA has announced a highly improved version of their classic VR-4 Gen III model. The new Special Edition model utilizes a new dual-ring radiator, an ex... | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow I just got an email from Larry Staples and yes they intend to show the X-Dream at the CES but they will not have them hooked up and playing.Huh??? | |
| WHICH ARC LINESTAGE TO REPLACE LS-15? I owned an ls25 mk1 for awhile and thoroughly enjoyed it. I tried a ref1 and couldn't get it out of my system fast enough. Everyone rave's about the ls5 as I'm sure you're aware (I've never heard one), but it has no remote and is all xlr input/out... | |
| Widespread Panic - Their best album? Thanks for the response Jclyle, they just played live here (Phoenix) and I didn't go see them as I still haven't bought one of their albums and am unfamiliar with their music. In any event, I will probably pick up Everyday on your recommendation, ... | |
| Do speakers have to "warm-up" too? Good question. I've never seen or heard of a speaker manufacturer talk about "warm up time." It makes sense to me, but I tend to agree with Beavis that the amps, and possibly the pre (provided your using a pre)(and even with standby mode), are sti... | |
| Should a good system sound bad with bad recording? Gargage in, garbage out...It all starts with the recording process and no amount of money you throw at a system can change the original recording. | |
| Should a good system sound bad with bad recording? Yes. Case in point...Robin Trowers' Bridge of Sighs, one of the greatest rock albums known to man, IMO, is absolutely un-F'ing listenable on a high-rez rig. | |
| VR4 SE III Owners please help with cable choices.. I'm bi-wiring with Harmonic Tech. Fantasy speaker cables and I like them just fine. Have never tried any other speaker cables on my VR4's. | |
| Opinions: Neuance Shelf for Linn Sondek Lp12 TT Foster, I put little rubber footers on the bottom of the platform (like the one's one would put on the bottom of a remote control) per Ken's direction as the Nueance sat on a glass shelf. And ken said any iso device between component and Nueance w... | |
| Opinions: Neuance Shelf for Linn Sondek Lp12 TT Rex, it sat with cdp on it for a week before I gave it a listen. |
