| intergrated for rock and dance and blues Lavardin is especially noted for an "uncluttered" sound. | |
| Audio Note speaker kit 2, experience?comments? Thank you Joe,Bob Neill of Amhearst Audio thinks the Audio Note AN-E is close in performance to the JM Reynaud Offrande which is the model up from my Trente. I used to dream about the Offrande and I hope I am not making a mistake but will eventual... | |
| Audio Note speaker kit 2, experience?comments? C123666Thank you for the response, I guess at this time the model E is the only kit available sold as the Kit 2. If all goes well I will buy it soon. I really love the sound of 300b SET amplifiers but can not afford one at this time though may end... | |
| B&W N 805 vs. N 805 Sig. Opinions? FWIW I prefer the Sig 805 to the rather bright Revel M20 though they were nice. I prefer my Trentes to either and have read they better the Merlins and several other highly touted speakers too. The B&W sound is not quite my taste but for those... | |
| B&W N 805 vs. N 805 Sig. Opinions? The N805 signature is much better than the regular N803 (not 805). The tweeter is super detailed and more neutral. They are so much better they are within a stones throw of my JM Reynaud Trentes :) | |
| Good Better Best Interconnects I think the 'sweet spot' in the AZ IC lineup are the Matrix Reference MKI which are almost as good as the MKII and only about $175 - $200 and they easily better the WOW (which are quite good) for only about $50 more. | |
| Looking to Upgrade Amp & Preamp I would go stright for a quality integrated like the Rowland Concentra II or Plinius 8200 MKII. Save the money on interconnects. Todays integrateds are really good and practical.If you want seperates the Quad 99 pre 909 power and 99 CDP would be t... | |
| New Medeski Martin & Wood album I hear them on the local gollege station and enjoy them then went out and bought their CD 'The Dropper' and got bored kind of like jsujo says. It is not bad and kind of fun sometimes but every song sounds the same. They are good enough that I will... | |
| Good Better Best Interconnects I concur with the Alpha Core Goertz MI2 Veracity cables being easily the best $200 speaker wire out there that I have heard. I still sometimes wish I had them as they had superb tone in the midrange. I think the bass was fine too, not big and bloa... | |
| Indecision 2004,,,Berning EA-230 or Dynaco MKIII' I owned a Berning EA 230 for about 10 years and would characterize it as a forward midrange sound and slightly rolled at the extremes. I have heard the MKIII Dyna but on a different system and a WILD guess would be that the Dyna is more neutral. T... | |
| How is your many titles in your digital collection 700 vinyl150 CD | |
| Good Better Best Interconnects This seems to be a good opportunity to share my experience with interconnects in my system. I used to have Audience AU24 and always liked them but am going toward an all Audio Note set up so I bought Audio Note AN-V interconnects. The short story ... | |
| I need a quiet tube amp Tomryan,I do not know how a 300B amp compares to my Audio Note Soro SET amp that has 6L6 output tubes but my amp is only rated at 18 watts and easily drives my Trente speakers that are rated at 88db - to about all they can handle too. Watts ain't ... | |
| I need a quiet tube amp I find my Audio Note Soreo SE very quiet and Manley Stingray dead quiet though not quite as nice. | |
| What part of this wouldn't you happy with 2channel ditto, but then I am a tube guy..... |
