| Anyone heard te Sony SS-AR1 Apparently not all are ATC. A couple of years ago John Marks related the story in Stereophile of Sony going to the trouble of ordering Duntech Princesses from OZ for a NYC studio. Also the Sony SACD introduction I attended used the SS M9ED mention... | |
| Notable speakers at THE SHOW June 2011 Overall, I found at least half the rooms suffered from typical "audiophile" performance. That was a high level of detail, loudness, and good clarity but lacking in a sense of body, real dynamics, and musical realism.Still, two stood out as my bigg... | |
| Duntech Viscount Duntech power needs -I owned Duntech Princesses for 19 years. During that time I had the chance to try many amps, both tube and SS. Clean power was the key.The Duntechs were deceiving because of their 90 dB rating. The crossover in Duntech models ... | |
| Tannoy stirling HE vs SE No, SE is not "smooth edge". Re-read Mike's comments.If you look at the Tannoy web site, select the Prestige series and any one of their models, look at Features. That will explain the differences are wiring and crossover parts quality upgrades. T... | |
| Shindo Cortese - First Impressions Alberto, you are fortunate to have a musical background. I suspect that is why you had a "musical target" for your mind/ear when building your system. Thus, when you found the pieces that hit your target you had no need to experiment further with ... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? I think Atmasphere makes an important point. For me, loudness can mean many things, not just the ability to produce sound that measures 120 dB!From my perspective, in addition to absolute level, it includes rise time and the ability to produce a g... | |
| Best amplifier for Tannoy GRF Memory HE Anyone reading this obviously has interest in Tannoys. If you've not seen it yet, check out Jeff Days's review of the Westminster Royal SE at Positive Feedback Online. | |
| NAD 3020A Integrated Amp Iamnate, specifically to your question about using an outboard amp.Basic question, how sensitive are your JBL speakers? Does the NAD under power them or are you wondering about a better quality amp section?I've only used mine as a full integrated ... | |
| why is a 13" tonearm design really superior? Dfelkai, you suggested "Baerwald was helped by 12 guys from nasa". I assume this was tongue-in-cheek since Baerwald was awarded his patent in 1939 and NASA was not created until 1958.But then maybe you were simply following Thuchan's motto, best &... | |
| higher end jazz vinyl: where to turn? Paanders, think about it, what store could possibly "play grade" (common term for sonic evaluation) the many records they buy then sell over the counter, or on line? That benefit may likely come only from private sellers with a few offerings or de... | |
| higher end jazz vinyl: where to turn? Paanders, I'm not familiar with the KAB unit, other than knowing he has a very good reputation for what he sells.More than 25 years ago I bought a Nitty Gritty, their least expensive model which was manual. It did a very fine job of cleaning. Some... | |
| Vinyl comeback now, cassette tapes next? Back when cassettes were still popular, I found the biggest sonic problem to be the poor quality of most prerecorded tapes. I considered that to result from the high-speed duplicating necessary for mass-production. With care and good quality raw t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgob, sorry to hear of your Technics loss. One of my audio buddies has a 100 Mk 4 which he bought new (not NOS). A couple of years ago he brought it out of retirement to listen to again after upgrading his TT but his suspension had also failed. He... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? So, based on Ralph's comment, "if you already have an Avantgarde and you are trying to use tubes with it, now you know why its been so hard to find something that makes the drivers/woofers blend properly", if Renmeister had used something like one... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Duke, I realize you are not saying that horns "beam" when you mention "radiation pattern control", but that and other comments here seem to imply that a very limited sweet spot is produced by horn systems.Admitting my own experience with horn syst... |
