| New book on "Audio, Acoustics and Perception" Thanks, Duke, for sharing this with us, it's something I've always wanted to see. | |
| What's the difference between LS series, SP series That is the difference. LS=line stage; SP=stereo preamplifier. PH=phono preamplifier, too. | |
| I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris. Sirspeedy, echoing Gmorris's post, I think your attitude and experience mirror that of many in the club, including myself. And I like to program music meetings as well as equipment, yours would be a system for listening to music. I still have vivi... | |
| I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris. Sirspeedy, we have GOT to get you into the NJ Audio Society so you can host a meeting!!!! | |
| Archiv Productions Archiv is, I believe, the early music sister company of DG. They have a number of fine artists, including many fine performances by Trevor Pinnock and the English Concert. Their recordings are generally quite clear and clean, not necessarily natur... | |
| LS-5 quality against today preamps ??? My opinion is that it is still an excellent-sounding preamp, though I personally think the Lamm is a slightly better-sounding unit, having the musicality that is the LS-5's strong suit but just a little more clarity, dynamics and low-level detail ... | |
| Would Jadis Orchestra work for Dunlavy IV? I agree with Joe (Trelja) about the interconnects, we really would need to know your preferences before we could recommend anything, but save them for last after you've lived with your choice of amp for a while. DA30 vs. 60?--well, I have heard th... | |
| I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris. In all seriousness, looking at the pictures of your room, you have great gear already, but how big is the room? The thing that has most impressed me about Avalon speakers (Sirspeedy, if you ever sell those Ascents you've lost your mind--classics i... | |
| I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris. Make sure you've got enough equity in your home for the mortgage? | |
| Would Jadis Orchestra work for Dunlavy IV? I wouldn't be surprised since, of all the Jadis amps up to the JA-200, the JA-30 had, in my opinion, the best bass performance. And I do like the DA integrateds even better than the Orchestra. They should let you take it home if you agree to buy i... | |
| "best" version for "Toccata and Fugue D minor? Agree with Rushton on the Chandos release. Also, Telarc did a CD with Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops years ago called The Stokowski Sound which has a good version in pretty decent sound for digital, if you can find it. | |
| Is AHT still around? AHT was a man named Dan Fanny. He sold, I believe, his designs to Lloyd Walker, so Walker Audio may be able to help. Possibly A-gon member Plato might be able to help as well, if he sees this. | |
| ARC SP-10 and the EAR 834P In terms of a lower noise floor, or a better line stage, yes it can be bettered. But I think you'll find a lot of people here will tell you that the phono section of the SP-10 is still among the best you'll find. | |
| Would Jadis Orchestra work for Dunlavy IV? As much as I like the Cary products, the Jadis is a different league in terms of refinement, in my opinion. If you've heard the Jadis midrange you'll know what I'm talking about--there's a naturalness to the Jadis electronics that is very rarely h... | |
| Would Jadis Orchestra work for Dunlavy IV? It might work, but if you use EL34s instead of KT88s, 6550s or KT90s, you probably won't have the bass control you want. I used Jadis JA-80s (50-60 watts) on Duntech Princesses (pretty much the same speaker as the SC-IV) for years and gave up a bi... |
