| Tightening loudspeakers screws... Jeff, very funny :) | |
| Pure class A amplifiers = "slow" amplifiers? Dazzdax,I think I understand where you are coming from. When I first heard my Nagra VPA tube amps (which are Class A), I experienced the same thing. In fact, when I first inserted them into the system, the music seemed less dense, and slow...there... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Why are there no reviews of Jeff Rowland products in the US/Canada press ? Is Jeff no longer interested in having his products reviewed ? | |
| Next upgrade, DartZeel or Ayre Semi, sounds like you are happy with your choice, and that is all that counts. Enjoy ! | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new I have the old Cremonas for 4 years now. I have paired them with all sorts of gear, and they have completely satisfied me. So I find it odd that both you gentlemen make it sound as if the planets have to align before the Cremonas sound musical. | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new Huskolf, in the review you posted, it says -3db at 51Hz...this speaker seems to be severely bass limited. This is also consistent with the hifnews review.The older Cremona's went down much lower. $13K for a speaker that barely goes below 40Hz is a... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new Huskolf, why would I think you are making this up ? I presented you with a frequency response curve for the M's, and you presented another review with a different frequency response. I like the curve you presented...it looks very similar to the Am... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new Hulskof,sure. Here is the URL for the Cremona M review: http://absolutesounds.com/index.php?page=17Half-way down the page you will see a review of the Cremona M by hifi-news. Surely a funny looking frequency response.The old Cremona's frequency re... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new The old Cremona's have a flatter frequency response...FWIW. Also please compare the Stereophile measurements for the old Cremona, and the newer Amati Anniversario. It is obvious that the old Cremona and the newer Amati were voiced by the same desi... | |
| Next upgrade, DartZeel or Ayre Semi, care to share a bit more about your new preamp...the name, manufacturer, cost ?Thanks | |
| Ayre MR-X monoblocks - how good are they?? Vicdamone,I could not agree more with you about auditioning the component in your environment. It beats the heck out of me how anyone can come to any conclusions in a store environment. In a store audition, what are you listening to...the electron... | |
| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? Asa, think of me as the class clown. I am glad you did not feel insulted by my friendly poke at your post. It is obvious that you are very passionate about music reproduction, and have thought very deeply about how the mind experiences reproduced ... | |
| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? Asa,my cognicizing faculties are experiencing congnitive fading while trying to make sense of your post. Sometimes a stereo is just that...a stereo, nothing more nothing less. | |
| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? A used Ayre K1-xe...matches your criteria to the T. To my mind, if you like a tube preamp, it is unlikely that the Capri will satisfy. In my opinion (check reviews), the Ayre might be a better fit. | |
| Tube preamp top clearance--McIntosh or in general Wow...if that is for the preamp, then what do the recommend for their tubed amps....I guess you had better have a high ceiling if you ever buy one their amps :-) |
