| Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest? Mer;in VSM-MXe - should stop the quest no matter what type of speaker you are looking for, unless you have a very large room and you want the presence of a orchestra; for most music in most domestic settings, I think they are the very best speaker... | |
| Are Harbeth S HL5's As Good As Reviewers Claim? There is no doubt there are many owners of the HL5s that love them. I glad you found you cup of tea. | |
| Low-cost I/C's I think Signal uses Eichmann. Perhaps standard or as an option, I don't recall. | |
| Tube Measurements? That is good to hear. I've been building a "stash" of NOS with the next 20 years in mind, and wanted to be sure that how they tested when I bought them would be essentially how they will "test" when I using some years down the road. Thanks for you... | |
| which el 84 amp or integrated The George Wright 15 watt proto-type currently up for sale looks real interesting if I were looking for an EL84 integrated and 15 watts were sufficient (91-92db/ 8ohm speakers) I would think it would a real good amp to try. | |
| Are Harbeth S HL5's As Good As Reviewers Claim? Cio52, what are you comparing them to that you like so much about them? What is the context of your evalaution of the HL5? That is, how good are they and compared to what? I do think they are very, very good, | |
| Electro Harmonix 6922 pre-amp tubes In my amps/pres the JJ were the best sounding Current Production as well. | |
| Low-cost I/C's I think you have been given some very excellent advice from both Audiofeil and Almarg. | |
| Electro Harmonix 6922 pre-amp tubes I can't imagine why the gold pin would sound any better, if you do have to slots that are know to be the most influential on the sound, that might very well be a good place to paly with some NOS, I would recommend Amperex 6dj8, 6922, or 7308s (I t... | |
| pass labs xa30.5 vs aleph 3 I'm sending my amps in for the upgrade this week:) Thanks for your input. | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe Thank you Bobby. I do suspect you're right:) | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe One of the reasons I think the Aleph J should in theory be a good match for the Merlins is that in many ways it performs like tubes in that it seems to not increase current (watts) with lower impedance, that is it performs more like tube amps in t... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Thegoldenear, you take a Primare over an Accuphase e550? Or are you saying you just like the Primare for $$$. | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe Hi Rleff. I just don't know. And don't get me wrong, the Pass XA30.5 and Aleph J sounded extremely good with the Merlins, but I still preferred the Atma-sphere and Music Reference amps. It just maybe that I am too much of a tubeaholic to ever real... | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe That BEL amp is one amp I wish I had the chance to have tried, Bobby speaks very highly of the BEL. I too had the Ars Sonum, and it is a wonderful integrated, but ulitmately I prefered the Atma-sphere gear which has bested a lot of other stuff I h... |
