| Thiel 3.5 verses Thiel 2 2 It's been a long time since I compared them, but my failing memory is that the 2.2 was the *overall* better speaker by a small margin. The 3.5 had better bass extension, but it did so by means of an equalizer that somewhat compromised the bass qua... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Yeah, I know, sorry about that, Joe, I should have waited for you, but with all the remodeling jobs I've done and am doing to my house I needed the money, and my wife felt that the art deco look of those amps was nice but not suitable on her livin... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I thought my Jadis JA80s would be the ones, but since I just sold them I didn't keep them for life, so they're disqualified. Perhaps my current Lamm ML-1s, though I still lust for the Siltech monos I heard earlier this year. Now they would be the ... | |
| Kubala-Sosna cables? I'm listening to them in my system this weekend. I'll see if I can give any thoughts on them. Nicely made, I can say that. The speaker cable seems to have a build similar to my NBS Omega interconnects. | |
| Source to purchase SACD Also try Elusive Disc and Music Direct (which is www.amusicdirect.com). | |
| To DAC or not to DAC Sidssp is correct. I agree with Michael, you could borrow a digital cable from a friend and compare them both, see which one sounds better to you. Very easy to do and completely reversible. I would be surprised if the difference between the Theta ... | |
| Mahler's Resurrection, Gilbert Kaplan/VPO recordin Gaudio, that's great news! I had assumed the 5th would be next, as the SFO was touring playing that piece earlier this year. Any report on their performances of the 5th in Davies? | |
| Why haven't we heard more about HR-X??? Hey Rick, come to Sunday's meeting and ask Harry yourself!!! | |
| Mahler's Resurrection, Gilbert Kaplan/VPO recordin I have the recording, wasn't enthralled by it the first time around, but need to listen to it again at a louder volume (as any Mahler needs) before I can really say anything definitive. Interpretively it is very similar to his first recording, tho... | |
| Poor man's reference DAC Bryanhod: As a long-time owner of the Audio Logic, I'll fifth it. The strengths of the Audio Logic are a very natural presentation of the performance and dynamics, reproduction of timbre, non-fatiguing sound, excellent three-dimensional soundstagi... | |
| transport help At that price, you might try a CEC TL-2 transport or perhaps its Parasound equivalent; if you could stretch your budget to afford a used CEC TL-1X, it might be worth it. CEC and Forsell transports seem to work very well with the Audio Logic. My So... | |
| Take a massage:... That's what the Arcici Airhead, the Seismic Sink and the Vibraplane are all about, as well as a homemade platform using silicone-filled inner tubes in a sand/lead base I've seen. Depending on the type of table and if it has a suspension or not, it... | |
| hearing everything from your vandy 5a`s If you like organ recordings, the Reference Recordings "Felix Hell-Organ Sensation" CD will give you every octave, including notes in the 32 foot stops (20hz range). There are a lot of organ recordings with deep bass, check the archives for one fr... | |
| Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder Yes, Moby Grape's album did have it all, especially if you got one of the copies distributed before they airbrushed the band member's finger off! | |
| Whatever happened to REAL "owners manuals" ??? 1. Duntech speakers--at least when I got mine back in the late 80s, they had a manual with graphs, and a text similar to John Dunlavy's manual for the Dunlavy speakers.2. Audio Logic has a very good manual for its DACs.3. Day Sequerra has/had a ve... |
