| Cary 805s or Atma Sphere M60s? I think most would agree, the Atma-sphere is generally leaner by comparison to the Joule, or the Joule is plumper, depending on your perspective - I guess that Ying/Yang thing - my ears lean towards a preference of the Atma-sphere soundscape, I al... | |
| Cary 805s or Atma Sphere M60s? I think of the Joule warmth can be attributed to their very fine, but warm sounding preamp, did the same (added warmth and color) thing when I paired it with the M60s - a signature sound many love, but hey, I like passive preamps, so not the way f... | |
| Cary 805s or Atma Sphere M60s? Goes to show the difference between theory and practice, on paper you would never think the 805s could drive the Maggies optimally, in terms of both power and current to drive the low impedances in the bass region - yet you never know till you try... | |
| Nagra plp versus CAT ultimate mk 2 CAT JL2 is one of the best amps in the world IMHO, would have kept it if my speakers were not such an easy load, making OTL a viable alternative. One can look forever, but is you can't settle down with the SL1/JL2, it would be for reason other tha... | |
| Cary 805s or Atma Sphere M60s? That is a good thing:) Might be part of what is special about SETs as well. | |
| Cary 805s or Atma Sphere M60s? For my taste, no amp has sounded better with my Merlin VSMs than the M60s, I even preferred to my CAT JL2s which I thought I would never replace and if I had a more difficult speaker to drive I might well have kept them. I don't focus to much on "... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Sounds good. | |

| Audio Research Reference Linestages You can't buy one new nowadays:) | |
| Audio Research Reference Linestages You forgot: Ref 1 is a lot cheaper than Ref 5. | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player I suspect that a hard drive based system into a top flight DAC with good music management software might be at the level of players, at least that what the magazines would have you think, some arguing of the benefits of magnetic versus optical rea... | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player Exactly where I stand today. Even if the magazines are making an attempt to churn up a new product category for review and possible advertising. It just does not feel like music-servers are ready for prime time, just yet. I think it needs to be so... | |
| Manufacurers I have known.... 2 Bobby Palkovic Looks beautiful, where did I put my wallet:) | |
| Placing footers under Joule LA150 MKii The Herbie footers - Isocups and Tenderfeet both did no harm. Cheap enough to experiment with both - he recommends the Isocups for tube eequipment, but Tenderfeet are just as good under tube equipment IMHO. I used JPC AC PCs to good effect with wh... | |
| Can you compare NAD C370 with Portal Panache Int. I've not heard either, but my understanding is that Nelson Pass designed the circuit for the Panache, if that is true, it is hard to believe that one of the industry's greatest designers did not produce an integrated to beat the NAD. Not that NAD ... |
