| Who uses long interconnect like in dealers? On your second to last question, perhaps the answer is it's too expensive to upgrade? I use a 40 foot run between my preamp and power amps/active crossover, and that has always been the last thing that would get upgraded because of the cost. I've ... | |
| Upgrade recommendation. Richard Gray or Mcintosh. Upgrade the preamp, no question. Unless your Monster is malfunctioning (and then I'd just unplug it), you're talking about a couple of levels upgrade on a component that every signal in your system runs through and which is most likely to interact... | |
| Amps for jm lab mini-utopia - - any suggestions? YBA amps sound great with the JM Labs speakers, very smooth and tube-like in presentation and tonal balance. But what is it about the Plinius that doesn't work for you? | |
| Home HiFi better than Live? Interesting observation, Seandtaylor. Our church choir made a CD recording of various pieces we knew well and we also found ourselves so concerned about getting everything just perfect for the recording that we lost the emotion and feeling of the ... | |
| Best Line Stage I'd add the Lamm LL2 Deluxe to the list. It soundstages very well, particularly with its layering of images, has a pretty neutral tonal balance, plenty of dynamic punch and a naturalness to its presentation like the real thing. Its only flaws in m... | |
| Audiogon Annual Convention I think we should all convene at Albert Porter's house!!! Tonight!!! | |
| Home HiFi better than Live? My perspective is principally classical. I'll take a live performance any day; home hi-fi is nice in its own way but is a completely different animal. There is no way any home stereo system is going to match the sheer power and volume of sound of ... | |
| Review: Audio Logic 2400 DA converter Peter: Afraid I know very little about the Altis, although I'm reasonably sure that Ozment was involved with its design (his name was on the Altis Reference's digital board in my prototype, and he has been handling repairs and upgrades on them sin... | |
| Anyone using a Marchand crossover??? Rick: The active crossover in my JL-1s which splits the bass and treble signals is a Marchand product. About to be upgraded and tweaked by that "someone" you refer to. :^) Uses high quality parts, although not a cost-no-object design (although I b... | |
| Antique Sound Lab....Triode???? Twl is correct, Rick, triode power is usually half of the power otherwise available from the amp in its regular mode. If you're listening to small groups, small-scale works or, particularly, female vocals, I think you'll like the triode mode, it s... | |
| Need opinions on all-in-one or separate dac. Given my happiness with my modded SCD777 ES (not by Mr. Wright, but a tubed Audio Logic analog stage), and the reports I've seen at AA, I'd also suggest that you consider a mod for your Sony over a DAC. I think you'd have to spend a large amount o... | |
| song title that is memorable "She'd Rather Be Homeless Than Here at Home With Me" and "Ain't Too Old to Cut the Mustard, Jus' Too Tired to Spread it Around", a pair of Shel Silverstein tunes from the Old Dogs album. Sang these at our choir's pops concert last month, brought d... | |
| upgrade of Alon 5 mk 1 to- alnico mids from mk 3 Have you tried Carl himself? He'd be your best source and is one of the better people to deal with in the business. | |
| NJ Audio Society? Duddley: E-mail me with your information and I'll send you the scoop. Don't know why you haven't been getting through, unless S-phile has my address wrong. Our next meeting is this Sunday in the Mattawan area, Audes is showing its stuff. Audioman4... | |
| Garbage in - Garbage out? Check out the "OK this will be a good thread" thread from a week or so back, it has a lot of discussion on the subject. |
