| The Sound or Music Give me the boombox - keeping sand out of the turntable would have to be murder; and then there's replacement tubes... | |
| Tonian Labs vs Musical Affairs Here's the burning question on my mind: The reviews of most PHY speakers that I've seen have been positive. I haven't heard anything negative on Tonian labs - quite the contrary. So why, when it seems like such a sizable number of audio enthusiast... | |
| Tonian Labs vs Musical Affairs Prcinka, What other PHY speakers have you heard, over which you preferred Ocellia ?Glide3, I see from another thread that you've owned quite a few speakers. I've been told that PHY speakers offer quite a different listening experience compared wit... | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett "this is only a forum !"Sonicbeauty,Of course it is. That's precisely why I took the liberty of having a little fun with you. I guess I made the mistake of thinking that my phrasing could be taken as nothing other than humorously intended. Thanks ... | |
| Most musical integrated amp you have heard? The New Audio Frontiers Supreme 300B Spec. Ed. is the most musically impressive audio component I've heard to date, IMO. While that doesn't tell you much unless you know what I've listened to, I can say this: I live in Chicago and, over the past 2... | |
| Tubes for Conrad Johnson Premier 11a ???? I know this isn't to point but I thought I'd offer this experience: I changed the small tubes to NOS RCA's with what I considered to be quite dramatic effect. I won't try to detail the change but there was significant across the board improvement. | |
| Your favorites amplifiers for their visual look ? New Audio Frontiers - Gorgeous Italian amps with brushed copper face and top plates, wood side panels and matte black transformer covers. The best part is that they sound even better than they look. | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett "not unlike Kenny G. Highly subjective of course."Subjective or not, that's a lousy thing to say! Take it back! | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett Thanks everyone - Lots of excellent points coming from different perspectives. Posting mere hours after experiencing the emotions of a great musical journey might, in retrospect, have been ill advised. Truth told, he doesn't "always" click with me... | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe "that blow those mini yucks out of the water let us know!!!!"Wow! You must have gotten really hurt. Did Frenchy break your heart? - LOL | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe Stanwal, the Minis are first generation Utopias. Beryllium tweeters came with the second. I've often wondered if would be feasible to swap out the older generation components (tweeters, drivers and crossover) for current Focal SOTA. | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe Sstalwar, I've always used tubes with the Minis. Currently, I'm using a 25W/ch integrated. It actually sounds more dynamic and performs better at the frequency extremes than a 70w/ch amp that I was using. I guess it should since it's significantly... | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe I own the Mini and would not suggest an OTL. The Mini's impedance gets pretty wild below 100 hz. | |
| Best Integrated Amp New Audio Frontiers 300b Special Edition: I wont call it the best in absolute terms, I wouldn't say that about anything. I will`say that it is worthy of consideration among the best, IMO. | |
| Thoughts on New Audio Frontiers The manufacturer insists that the NAF will need a good 200 hours of break-in, but I'm elated enough, even at this very early stage, to report that this has been a very significant step toward the type of sound that I'm looking for. That said, ther... |
