| Trelja in New York Hey, did anyone catch the Wilson/Spectral/MIT demo at the Innovative room(the system had bass to die for), or those wild diaphram-bending line source speakers, Airfoil, from Impact? Those were two of the best of show in my view. There was also a g... | |
| Hi-Fi Show???? I was at the show on Friday and there were lots of great systems to see and hear. The show is expensive for exhibitors and some companies were absent, but overall, I'd say it was a great show and I had a marvelous time. Hey, did anyone catch the W... | |
| Martin Logan Don t Rock I have to agree with Drubin on the InnerSound Eros. They can sustain higher dB levels than the MLs and sound fabulous. And they will do so with less input power than the MLs because they are more efficient. I've auditioned most of the ML line and ... | |
| Electrostat Speakers with sub. Finally Kubla,That's a nice set up and is hard to beat even by today's standards. I used to own tube, servo-amped Acoustat IIIs and used an Audio Pro B250 subwoofer to augment the low bass and it worked quite well. I also had the opportunity to audition t... | |
| Am I on the right analog track? Well, to be fair, digital sources and analog turntable systems come at many different price and performance levels. The Project Perspective with the Blue Point Special cartridge is hardly the best analog source that can be found, and you never did... | |
| Altec Lansings 604 E S The BEST ?YES Stu, if you like the speakers, then by all means, buy them. I'm sure they're decent and you'll have a lot fun with them. That's the name of the game. They may not be the world's best, but they may be the best choice for you at this point in time. ... | |
| Difficulty Tilting Martin Logans Foward My earlier post wasn't meant to be taken literally, but to serve as a model for what needs to be done. If you can somehow add weight to the back or bottom rear of the woofer enclosure without marring or damaging the cabinet, that should bring thin... | |
| Transcendent Grounded Grid Opinions I tried a Transcendent Grounded Grid preamp in a system using Clayton Audio M-70 monoblocks and Paradigm Reference Studio 100 speakers and I didn't care for it. It sounded slow and rounded and was probably the worst sounding preamp I tried in that... | |
| Difficulty Tilting Martin Logans Foward Easy Dude -- just Epoxy a 20 lb barbell plate to the rear of the woofer cabinet -- which could have additional anti-resonance benefits. | |
| Altec Lansings 604 E S The BEST ?YES Well, they could be the best, especially if you own them and haven't heard many other good speaker systems. Personally, I'm partial to Tina Turner -- she's simply the best, in my view. :) | |
| Rate my Rack Ditch the GT SE40; there are many better amps out there, like the Rogue Audio 88, for example. | |
| Best DAC around 1,000 I agree, the Perpetual Tech gear is way up there on the list. In my view, the ModWright Signature version of the P-3A DAC is the way to go for $1000. See Greg Weaver's article on this mod at www.stereotimes.com. I own the P-1A P-3A combo and would... | |
| Replace 35" TV with something bigger Some of the new HDTV-ready rear projection models are excellent if the convergence is set properly, but this can vary a bit from sample to sample. I own a Hitachi 43" HDTV-ready RPTV and I think it has more detail, depth, and richer color palette ... | |
| Any mid-priced Receivers Worthwhile??? Guys,Many thanks for the interest and for all the great suggestions. I'm going to put the NAD T751 on my short list as well. Charles, I've had the opportunity to hear the NAD 3020 with a lot of different equipment and it has never failed to exceed... | |
| Any mid-priced Receivers Worthwhile??? Mezmo and Bbroussard,Thank you for the excellent suggestions. It seems like a lot of people are saying good things about the Marantz HT receivers, so I am going to check them outand probably go that route. Thanks for your help! Happy Easter! |
