| Upgrade from DeVore Gibbon X Thanks for the inputs so far; I have been to the Capital Audiofest over the years and have listened to VAC gear paired with Von Schweikert which make for a nice combination. I have heard the DeVore O Reference which sounded nice, but out of my pr... | |
| Upgrade from DeVore Gibbon X I am looking in the pre-owned market up to 25K (hopefully less) which I believe gives me sufficient room for an upgrade. As far as sound characteristics, I definitely want the usual wide and deep soundstage, refinement, detail without grain or ea... | |
| JBL L36 russ69: It’s funny you mentioned the L200s; I actually purchased a pre-owned pair in 1974; I was a Junior in HS and was saving every penny I made from stocking shelves at our local drug store for stereo equipment. The pharmacist at the time was q... | |
| New cartridge - Benz Micro or Ortofon Cadenza? I have played the Cadenza Bronze for approximately 100 hours now and am extremely pleased with it. I recently went through an experimental phase with a Manley Chinook, Herron VTPH-2, Lyra Delos and Cadenza Bronze. The Chinook/Delos was my current ... | |
| Lyra Delos After my original posting in in February, I decided to go with the Delos. After listening to it for over 60 hours, I am extremely pleased; it gives me the detail and air I was looking for and the control on the bottom end; excellent complement to ... | |
| Lyra Delos Thanks for the feedback from all; I decided to go ahead and purchase the Delos; I will post my impressions after I have some hours on it and provide some comparison to the Benz Glider S. | |
| Manley Chinook I was able to take home my local dealer's demo about a week ago; bottom line, I was very impressed with the performance and I am going to purchase the Chinook. I would characterize this phono stage as very dynamic, just slightly on the warm side o... | |
| Which Upgrade First - Cartridge Or Phono Stage I agree that given your situation, I would also go the cartridge route. I also have a Classic 1 and have tried the Dynavector 20X2L, Benz Glider SM and the Soundsmith Zephyr. All 3 are excellent cartridges, but I ended up settling on the Glider. I... | |
| QUAD 989 problem. I would contact Wayne Picquet at Quads Unlimited in Longwood, FL. 407-260-6448 or wpkae87@aol.com. I have never dealt with him, but have read a lot of positive information on his Quad expertise. I am currently the 2nd owner of some 989s which I ha... | |
| curious about mcintosh ma2275 I have been curious about the MA2275 also; I currently have a Primaluna Dialogue Two that I am running with SHL5s and am really enjoying, but you always wonder if a different amp would even sound better. I have been doing some tube rolling with th... | |
| I Need Help Picking a Sub I agree with Rcrerar and Cruz123; I currently own the ML Grotto and have owned the ML Depth; they both pack the punch for HT and are fast enough to keep up with your Ascents. You state your room is small and your budget $1400; my two cents would b... | |
| Harbeth - Audio Research? I picked up a pair of the HL-5s off A'gon about 6 weeks ago and couldn't be happier. I am running them with a Primaluna Dialogue 2 with SED Winged C EL34s; talk about rich/lush midrange. While they perform very well on the low end, I still like a ... | |
| Repair: Speaker Surround Adhesive? I recently put a new surrounds on my JBL L-36 woofers; the kit I used contained an adhesive that is made by a company called Power Poxy; part # 11005. It worked out great for what I was doing. I would check out their website at www.powerpoxy.comGo... | |
| Two amplifiers feeding the same pair of speakers? Thanks Elevick; I also ran across this unit after doing more research. Do you actually have the DPS-1 switch box? If so, assume you are happy with it? The only drawback I see so far is that it only accepts up to 14 gage speaker cable. | |
| Integrated tube amp with tuner? If you haven't picked up a tube receiver yet, I would check out a Fisher 500B or 500C; I have a 500B paired with my K-Horns and it sounds excellent from top to bottom. Suprisingly it is also a very quiet receiver which is important on high efficie... |
