| Tube pre-amps $3500 under to add "warmth" MrT--Well, I must admit that a CJ PV5 is a different animal than the Jadis, it certainly has more of that old-fashioned tube sound that it appears you're looking for. Jadis, in its earlier versions before they started using Philips caps, has more ... | |
| Tube pre-amps $3500 under to add "warmth" I'm surprised about Mr. Tennis' reaction to the JPL too; at least the earlier version of that line stage, with Telefunken or EI tubes in it, has all the tube bloom you could want (the JP80 even more so), particularly when I had it paired with the ... | |
| Tube pre-amps $3500 under to add "warmth" Mr. Tennis, have you auditioned a Jadis JPL? That might be the sort of thing you're looking for (or, even better, a Jadis JP80 or JPS2 line stage). Jadis is very natural sounding on recordings of acoustic instruments. From my limited auditoning, I... | |
| Can we fit Dunlavy SC-VI in a samller room? One reason Dunlavy made different marks of the SC series of speakers was to accommodate different size rooms. You really will lose a lot of what these speakers do right if you try to shoehorn them into too small a room, and I think ultimately you ... | |
| Can we fit Dunlavy SC-VI in a samller room? And I third it. Great speakers, but they need a larger room than you have. You might look for a IV-A instead. | |
| Sonus Faber Extremas ? I guess I'm in the minority here about the looks. The woodwork was indeed exquisite, but I never liked the big, almost yawning look of the woofer from the front. An amazingly good speaker, though, when properly driven. | |
| Sonus Faber Extremas ? Check the thread Amplifier for Sonus Faber Extrema in the archives, that will give you a start. | |
| High-res Downloads of Orchestral music available Thanks Steve. I do want us to look into that, thanks for the contact. | |
| High-res Downloads of Orchestral music available This indeed is good news. One of the things we're working on at the New Jersey Symphony has been to make our archives available on i-Tunes or a similar service, as a number of orchestras have been doing. Now that we have been recording our concert... | |
| Future of CD's - Hard drive based music On the download item, take a look at the thread from yesterday by Audioengr (Steve at Empirical Audio), about a site where you can download 24/96 material. The day is coming. | |
| Does Audio Logic have a website ? I'm still evaluating them (the EMM Labs is so good on SACD I don't listen to CDs as much), but my initial impressions are that the soundstaging is about the same (both are enormous), the EMM Labs is just a little leaner tonally, but a bit more tra... | |
| Does Audio Logic have a website ? No, as of my last check. Check the archives for a thread on the Audio Logic 34MXL, I believe that there was a post that had a link to a dealer's website which had some information about the Audio Logic products. That thread might also have Jerry O... | |
| Aside form the Human voice... T-bone, I have the Channel Classics SACD, that is indeed a nice one, and I'll have to look for the Edgar Meyer recording. And if you haven't heard the Rachmaninoff, I think you might like it--the Steven Kates version on the Sonic Arts label from w... | |
| Walker Audio Prelude LP Cleaning Solution I'd forgotten that Lloyd was coming out with this product this month, thanks for the reminder. I too heard an early version of the product at Lloyd's home when he applied it to records I had brought with me and thought were clean. The differences ... | |
| Aside form the Human voice... Tabs, if you listen to the Rachmaninoff cello sonata, or Bruch's Kol Nidrei, or the Elgar cello concerto, you'll see the vast range of emotion that can be brought out of a cello. Maybe leaning towards the melancholy a little, but it just strikes h... |
