| To cryo or not to cryo Hi Guys,Below are a couple of pieces in Positive Feedback that I found interesting.http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue21/goffinterview.htmhttp://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue21/cryo_international_interview.htm | |
| Video of Man Making Tubes From Scratch ... Now that's what I'm talking about! Take THAT transistor boys! | |
| E.A.R. Acute Reliability Airfla,I wish more people would initiate and respond to threads concerning product/service reliability issues. To people without excess disposable income, it's just as important as sound quality. An EAR was on my short list for an amplifier upgrad... | |
| E.A.R. Acute Reliability "I purchased one of Dan's CES 2008 demo units which will be shipped to me directly from Las Vegas when the show is over. I can hardly wait."Hi Airfla,I purchased the other demo unit, also after considering the Acute, exciting isn't it. Waiting is ... | |
| Build my own speakers? Hi Radrog,I want mine to be a mini monitor that can fill a large room with the dynamics of a full scale symphony. I'll require 110db efficiency operating at a flat 10 ohms. Will that be a problem?Regards, | |
| Impressed with Tubes OK, you guys are making me feel pretty inferior here. Are you telling me that I should be able to listen to a specific speaker/amp combo and then determine that somewhere around say 180hz there is an impedance mismatch of 2ohms. Please don't tell ... | |
| Impressed with Tubes "Keep in mind that if you are investing in tube power, your investment dollar will be better served by a speaker that is 8 ohms or more (particularly in the woofer region) than a speaker that is 4 ohms."Hi Atmasphere,I've always understood this to... | |
| 845 SET? deHavilland / Art Audio/et..al. Goldeneraguy, What kind of speakers are you using. I've been wondering if the Aries would be a good match with my JM Lab Mini Utopias (91.5db). I don't want to just scrape by with the power; I like it to sound easy. Also, I'm currently using a cj ... | |
| APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player Hi Earflappin,That's great information about room treatment. It's one of those things where I might be aware that what I'm hearing isn't right, but the fix isn't readily apparent to me.Regards | |
| APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player "Before it arrived I asked Alex what he thought and he said "it makes the 2.5T sound like a boom box...!" "Well....right out of the box the 3.0GO did indeed make the 2.5T sound like a boom box!!!!" I have no personal experience with any APL produc... | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? DeshapiroHi David,Did you ever get the chance to put the AMR CD77 you were expecting up against your Wavelength Crimson?Regards | |
| New or used??? 5k CDs, eclectic variety - nicely done. Many of the good folks here on Audiogon are well healed hobbyists who build there systems by continuously trading one piece of equipment for another; there is nothing wrong with that but it can be a very exp... | |
| New or used??? I second T_bone's advice and urge you to find some local audio enthusiasts who are willing to guide you. Please take no offense, but IMO the chances of anyone new to the high end walking into a high end salon by themselves and maximizing the retur... | |
| New or used??? Jhkear,Your initial post suggested, to me at least, that a speaker purchase was just your starting off point and that appropriate supporting equipment would be forthcoming. If your entire budget hovers around $5000 then Jj2468 is absolutely correc... | |
| New or used??? On second thought - In spite of the occasionally heated rhetoric, I've always thought of my fellow Audiogoners as family. In keeping with that sentiment in which I'm sure many of us share, I hereby call upon audiogon to post obituaries of it's dec... |
