| Alon Speakers Alons do sound very good with tubed gear from VTL; I also heard them with Aragon amps (back in the day, they were known as the poor man's Krell) and felt the sound to be very good as well. The IVs have that big woofer that might need a little more... | |
| FM frequencies cut out by CD player On your second question, that is not an unusual occurrence. Cross talk between inputs is common, even among some pricier components (I used to hear it on my Jadis JPL line stage). Way to fix that, of course, is to turn off the component that you'r... | |
| Walker listening experience wanted I think you'll find the trip worthwhile, Joe's system is well set up and sounds VERY good! | |
| Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard? Not a vice grip, but they definitely did sound better in the sweet spot than off axis, as far as imaging goes. Noticed the same thing with the Quattros as well. | |
| Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard? One other thing I forgot to mention, while they were superbly musical speakers, the Model 7, perhaps more than any speaker system I've heard in a while, really made starkly apparent the difference between a top flight analog source and a merely ve... | |
| The great Soupy Sales died I think I'll spin "Pachalafakah" (however it's spelled) in his honor, if I can ever find it. | |
| Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard? I too was at Audio Connection for the Vandersteen demo a few weeks back, and they indeed are among the finest speakers I have had the pleasure of hearing. And Richard Vandersteen is an absolute pleasure to speak with as well. If I ever get enough ... | |
| Allnic Verito Z:Owners and those familiar I'm afraid that I can't give you any comparisons to other cartridges in the same system (my system is much darker in tonal tilt than Slipknot's, with a bit more deep bass extension), but I did get to hear the Allnic cartridge in Joe (Slipknot)'s s... | |
| Avalon Ascendant or Vandersteen Quatros? While I am an Avalon fan, and have no doubt that they are a top-flight choice, I have not heard the Ascendant. I have heard the Vandy's on quite a few occasions (with Aesthetix and Cary components), and found them very impressive. Last time I hear... | |
| Avalon Eidolen VS Porac D80 or B&W 802D I agree with the above posters on the relative merits of the speakers you mention, though each has its own distinctive voice that you might prefer over the others, so I can't say one is better than the others to anyone but me. How big is your room... | |
| NJ Audio Society? Rayr2: Our meeting this weekend (the 18th) is actually in Cinnaminson, pretty near you, at Audiogon member Slipknot's place. It will be an analog meeting, vinyl and some RTR as well. You might also consider joining the Philadelphia group, of which... | |
| Raleigh - Durham and Richmond Audiophiles? The man who built my speakers lives in Raleigh-Durham. He tells me there is a club in the area, with a lot of members who make their own, very high quality, equipment. It is tough to get in touch with him, but if I can I will try to find out some ... | |
| Lamm ML2, VLadimirs best effort to date? In answer to the original question, as was pointed out earlier, the ML3 is supposed to be Lamm's best effort to date. Since I found that I cannot get a Federal bailout to buy them, they will have to remain a dream. As between the ML2 and 2.1, I th... | |
| krell ksa100 vs. audio research 150.2 The ARC 150.2 is a very good, excellent sounding solid state amp and works very well with the Vandys (no need to worry about tubes with it). It's comparatively small and runs cool; a very underrated performer, along with the 100.2, in my opinion. ... | |
| Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music I will also add that the speakers I use (Sforzando JL-1s) are similar in their presentation to the Shahinians Rpfef is recommending (which I also think are excellent for classical music). I would have recommended my speaker brand earlier, except t... |
