Kimber PK 10 Gold vs. PK 10 Palladian It is amazing how much of an advantage is created by that "bar"!! The difference is significant. | |
CD players with variable output/volume control I just received an APL Denon 3910 on the 22nd of July. It sounded incredible out of the box while going through my Calypso pre. When I switched to direct to amp, my dead quiet noise floor got even quieter! I have not noticed a drop in body or dyna... | |
Las Vegas Hi Everybody, Life is not much fun taking care of dad in Long Island:-(I either cook or listen to music :-)! I did get to go to my first audio club meeting last night. There were ~ 20 ppl ranging from 40 to 80 yrs. old. I had a lot of fun. It was ... | |
Las Vegas Hi, I have not checked in for awhile. I moved in June to New York in order to care for my dad, and hope to return often. I will ultimately come back. Although it is not my preference to live in Long Island once again, it is good for this hobby :-)... | |
Las Vegas I would ultimately prefer to get together at the various homes of our members, but we could first meet just about anywhere :-) It seems like ppl are reluctant to form clubs around the U.S. I do not know why. Sharing music, knowledge, system prefer... | |
Vandersteen Quatro speaker - link to info I was at CES and spoke with Richard. I came away with the understanding that the quatro is an attempt to reach a broader faction of audiophiles due to an increased WAF. It will not outperform 3A Sigs and 2WQ's, but has a purpose for the Vanderstee... | |
Las Vegas Dbx, The demo was great! My new Belles 21A and 150A Ref are burning in and sound spectacular. These units are the "real thing". There are ppl liking the preamp better than the Bat 51SE for 1/3 the cost. The same goes for the amp. There are ppl com... | |
Las Vegas It is CES 2004!!!!I am having a dealer from Placerville, Ca. demo his gear in my home in Green Valley during the week of the Show!He has an EMC-1 source with the new Belles 21a preamp, Belles 150a Ref momoblocs, Meadlowlark Blue Herron 2's, JPS La... | |
When is Belles going to get the credit he deserves Hi Larry, It is Paul from Las Vegas! I am buying a 150 Reference, the new amp, not a 150a. There are ~ 10 in production so far. They are all burning in. The early read is that the bass is weightier, yet tighter. The mids and highs are starting to ... | |
When is Belles going to get the credit he deserves I cannot claim the praises that have been written above, but that is only because I have yet to hear the 350a and/or 21a. I have similar components to Doug Blackburn and Bigtee, so it is a no brainer to take the leap of faith. Belles is building m... | |
Las Vegas Any Las Vegas audiophiles into new age music such as Medwyn Goodall, Oliver Shanti, Adiemus, Dagda....for listening and appreciating? I'm also into the same with anything that is sacd!! | |
SACD 2...for those who have not heard I agree with bld63. That is clear. The Sacd format is better than Dvd-a sonically. That is clear.(CES proved that)Sacd is for us, Dvd-a with video is for mainstream. Dvd-a is inexpensive relative to Sacd to produce. This has always been my worst f... | |
DirecTV access cards Hi, The p-4 cards are to correct a security issue. I got mine around a year ago and disregarded the notice and periodic pop-ups on my screen. In around 3-4 months, my screen went black in the 8th inning of a no hitter!! I called, they walked me th... | |
Las Vegas WOW, I have not checked the forum in months. I gave up thinking I would be the first and last member.Ehart, I auditioned the Vandersteens at PHE but bought out of town. PHE seemed very fixed on their price and were ~$500 off. I bought two Kimber p... | |
Audible illusions L-1 Kool39, I got a 6h23/6922 Rocket logo pair in November 2002 from Upscale. I leave my unit on at all times. I also have the 1995 model(bought used in October 2002) I might add that I have a Kimber Pk10 Gold power cord, an Aq Python ic at the source... |
