| The Beatles PPS: Tube groover, I'm *way* with you on Bruckner! Although I enjoyed singing the Te Deum, my classical collection goes from Brahms and Britten to Busoni, Buttersworth, Buxtehude, Byrd, Campra, et al. To each his own. | |
| The Beatles PS: Especially for those of us of a "certain age", the Beatles were magic. Wonderful songwriters with something new and marvelous always up their collective recording sleeves. Joyous music makers, hip and witty commentators, they were the makers o... | |
| The Beatles HUH?! Does anybody really still try to ride this hobby horse?? Beethoven is Beethoven, the towering genius of the classical age, the Beatles are what they are, a great pop group. Beethoven and the Beatles co-exist happily in my music collection, a... | |
| Opinion Conrad Johnson Solid state Amps I have compared a MF2200 to a MF2500 (the 2250 is a slightly beefed up version of the 2200). The 2200 is a very sweet and musical amp, beautiful timbres, mids, wide soundstage, a little soft i.e. slow on transient attacks (mosfet mist?), and with ... | |
| HELP!!! SPEAKER CABLE??? My experience with the Nordost is that the Red Dawn (and RD Rev.II) are fuller throughout the mids/bass than the Blue Heaven, and also superior to the 8TC I tried. Very open, detailed and fast. I currently have Coincident (copper) speaker cable an... | |
| Shopping CD players: my big adventure Help may be at hand, the latest SACD player from Sony IS a multi-disk changer and it's their least expensive yet. | |
| Anyone heard the marsh and odyssey amps? I have an audiobuddy with the Marsh 400 amp (200w) driving Martin Logans and he LOVES it. He says the Marsh amps are absolute giant killers, with quality parts, superbly built and unfailingly musical. He is not easy to impress so I would audition ... | |
| Best wires for cost Ejlif, is your system tube or solid state? | |
| Opinions on Meitner MTR-101 Amps??? Jim - in fact, I'm a lucky audio gal, but appreciate the endorsement nonetheless. Since I have 10' tri-wire speaker run and short ICs, amps will have to be near equipment rack for now. Good suggestion about the blocks. I intend to place amps close... | |
| Opinions on Meitner MTR-101 Amps??? Yep, they're the ones. Recommended for sweetness, dynamics and bass control. True they're "only" rated 100w but evidently they were engineered with enough high current capability to cope handily with low ohm bass driver demands - mine dip to 4 ohm... | |
| Opinions on Meitner MTR-101 Amps??? OK guys, I bought the Meitner amps. :-) Thanks for the input. Guess I'm now hunting for another run of IC?? (I've never used mono-blocks before, always a single amp.) Thanks again for chiming in - I'll keep you posted. | |
| Opinions on Meitner MTR-101 Amps??? Rcprince: Thank you for your kind offer. Alas, I am in Indiana. Just have to take a chance, although it doesn't appear to be a great risk judging from the above endorsements. I love the Rogue but you never know until you compare. Thanks again. Wha... | |
| Is Museatex/Meitner in business? Go to the Museatex/Meitner web page at www.cadvision.com.ads.museatex.html | |
| Opinions on Meitner MTR-101 Amps??? Thanks for the help. I listen mostly to classical, also jazz and rock, but mainly acoustic. I presently have a c-j mosfet amp so I'm familiar with sound of mosfet amplifiers. I think I want more detail until I hear an analytical ss amp and then I ... | |
| Granite instead of an amp stand? There was a thread a while back either here or at AA about using a maple or oak butcher block as stand/shelf/platform whatever and the consensus was a certain type of butcher block was really wonderful for low $$. |
