| Vapor Sound Audio/tons of Value for $$$$ Where can you go to hear these speakers? | |
| Wilson speakers/to people who own them etc Interesting that you prefer the old Wilsons to the new ones. The old ones (WAMM excluded) were criticized by some for being too bright, revealing and unmusical, and many have expressed the view that the new ones are more listenable, coherent and b... | |
| Audiophile Fakery Didn't Lexicon take an Oppo player and just put its own chassis around it and sell it for 2-3 times the Oppo's price a few years ago? Would that qualify here? | |
| What's your experience with fine phono preamp s ? I would also suggest you hear a Herron, it's a really nice unit. Also, a used Lamm LP2 Deluxe should come in your price range, though it might be a little laid back compared to the others mentioned, and you might want a little more gain than it of... | |
| Magic and mystery of master tape I have heard master tapes (1) from the NJ Symphony's recording engineer, Tim Martyn, in my system, (2) at a demonstration we held for the NJAS where we made a recording using three recording mediums, and (3) from Wilson Audio demonstrations where ... | |
| Gnesis V Owner Manual - Help On their website they do have a manual you can download for the 5.3, which includes placement instructions and various adjustments. You might try that to see if it has some applicability to your version, if you don't have the 5.3s. | |
| VAC 160iSE integrated with NOLA speakers Check with VAC, but I doubt they'd be recommended. Given my experience in Jadis amps, I would prefer the KT88s to the 6550s for the better midrange (6550s had good bass control but were leaner in the mids and highs). As for KT 120s, read Kevin Hay... | |
| Janszen za2.1 vs nola metro grand ref series2 $10K "paltry"?? Hardly. Congratulations on your choice, you made the decision the right way, with your ears and in your room. | |

| What is the answer? Personally, I find this topic to be too testing. | |
| Speaker Stands Question While I'm sure Nola has a suggested height for stands to be used with their speakers (my Micro References did), given the difference in the height of the chairs in which people listen I think O holter's advice is spot on. As a general rule, your e... | |
| Shindo/Audio Physic speakers I agree with Akg_ca about a blind purchase, particularly with a Shindo amplifier. Years ago I heard a 40 watt per channel Shindo stereo amp (I think it might have been the Montrachet, I get their wines mixed up) in my dealer's room sound absolutel... | |
| Effective ways to upgrade a Music Hall MMF 2.2 Agree with Viridian's advice. The NAD is a solid performer and works well with your table--when you upgrade a component like that you risk having it expose weaknesses in the turntable/arm that might ultimately lessen your enjoyment. I would not ch... | |
| Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings You'll find that answer in the archives, the subject of many threads, with many answers. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? What else but the Vince Guaraldi Trio's "A Charlie Brown Christmas", Fantasy F-8431! Happy Holidays, Rush! |
