| Silverline SR17.5 crossover modifications? Rieff, Thanks, I did talk to Bill and he settled the issue for me. "If you like what you hear, don't mess with it. More expensive parts doesn't mean better sound. Good speaker manufacturers like Silverline carefully voice their speakers and changi... | |
| KCI Silkworm vs Cable Research Labs Copper? Well, after living with for a while, the CRL Copper has definite weaknesses that I won't go into at this time. So it's back to the drawing board. I'm now considering the Fusion Romance line. Any comments on that, particularly the Romance II? | |
| Silverline SR17.5 crossover modifications? Rieff, Thanks for the tip. I'll give Bill Legall a call... | |
| Silverline SR17.5 crossover modifications? At first I was eager to do a makeover, now I'm not so sure.I'm not anxious to change the character of my speakers, just make what is BETTER, not that I'm complaining, mind you. Perhaps just changing one part instead of all? Maybe the wiring? | |
| Any vintage tuners with a small footprint? Thanks, everyone. Great suggestions! The new Sony sounds like a good bet... | |
| Yacco Whirly Wisp or Cauda Equina interconnects? Check that -- the other interconnect is not "Cauda Equina," it's "Lucky 7." Whirly Wisps and Lucky &. | |
| Yacco Whirly Wisp or Cauda Equina interconnects? Yeah, Stanwal, I'm laughing too, except... these are actually listed for sale on Audiogon. Personally, I'm delighted by the idea of being able to tell people my interconnects are Whirly Wisps! | |
| Need help with choosing a transport. The Apollo just plain digs deeper into the music than the CAL Delta. | |
| Need help with choosing a transport. Steveaustin, Well, I managed to find an improvement in the CAL Delta by flipping the phase switch on my TADAC and adjusting its "tubyness." I can live with it, for the time being at least. I think I'll wait for a CEC TL51X to come up used. | |
| Need help with choosing a transport. Oh, and edgy too, the California Delta -- harsh when listening to a string quartet, for instance. | |
| Need help with choosing a transport. Lo and behold, I found an old California Delta transport looking through my gear closet. Hooked it up. Not as detailed and holographic as the Rega Apollo -- flat, congested, poor bass control. | |
| Need help with choosing a transport. Thanks for the input, Steve. Wow, the CAL Delta is OLD! The price is attractive but do you really think it will hold up against the latest transports? Don't know anything about the Audio Research CDT1 and haven't been able to find much comment abo... | |
| Need help with choosing a transport. I'm in no hurry, my Apollo is just fine for the time being.If I sell some stockpiled tubes, I could go up to $1,000 for the transport. Incidentally, for all those TADAC owners, after trying many different NOS 12AU7s I like the early Amperex long p... | |
| Need help with choosing a transport. I have an external DAC -- the Tube Audio Design TADAC -- and therefore need a transport only; no point in using a cd player merely as a transport. 47 Labs has a great reputation but it's out of my price range, not to mention difficult to find used... | |
| TAD subwoofer -- how does it compare? I care less about how it looks than how it sounds -- in a stereo system with monitor speakers. Is it tonally accurate? Is it sufficiently powered for a medium size room? |
