| Calling All Ex - Shindo Preamp Owners I'm not an ex-Shindo owner, but I had my Monbrisson in the shop for a while to fix a transformer buzz and a general refurbishment after a little over 8 years. While it was away I used a passive TVC unit (Prometheus) and was very surprised as to h... | |
| unkonw WILSON speaker I never heard of a Dalek from Wilson; isn't that a Dr. Who creation? To tell the truth, I wonder if it's not a knock-off. I don't recall Wilson ever using rounded cabinets like that. and the midrange doesn't look like a Wilson driver. | |
| Commander Cody Now I'm feeling old. My wife and I saw him and the Lost Planet Airmen in Ann Arbor in the early 70s as a lead-in act for the Byrds. RIP, and keep driving that hot rod Lincoln.. | |
| One box do it all Not sure about Roon compatibility, but maybe a PS Audio Sprout 100? | |
| Allison and Snell - Against the Wall Klipschhorns, designed to go in corners--that's against two walls, I guess.... | |
| List a Condition you know of that will produce Better Sound I thought the Armor All tweak resulted in a lot of CDs going bad (CD rot). Sam Tellig tried it, then withdrew the endorsement because of those reports. Anyone else remember that? | |

| Melos repair I don't know personally of anyone, but I believe that the man behind the Laufer Teknik Memory Player (Mark Porzilli) was the designer of the Melos electronics. It's a long shot, but you might try to contact Sam Laufer at Laufer Tekniks to see if ... | |
| Mahler vs. Strauss I have not really noticed what you're obviously hearing. I think newbee's possible explanation makes a lot of sense to me. | |
| Opinions on Meitner MTR-101 Amps??? $20 for MTR 101s? Bargain of the Century! | |
| Nearfield Acoustics Pipedreams I have heard them with tubes (a Melos amplifier that didn't blow up) and they sounded great. Had I owned them I would have used Lamm ML 1.1s, and I'm sure they would have worked, I don't think they were that tough a load to drive at all. I'm als... | |
| Reference Recordings (The Label) The entire series is outstanding; I particularly like the Shostakovich and their Strauss recordings.. |
