| Info wanted on Krell KMA 400's They've come down in price over the last 4 years! Wish I'd seen that, I might have gone for them for my bass modules. Still a very good sounding amp, particularly with hard-to-drive speakers. | |
| NJ Audio Society? Listens2tubes--I e-mailed you directly. We have a meeting at my house tomorrow. Give me a call if interested in coming. | |
| Purist or Kubala-which to buy for entire system Rick is right, really. While you can mix and match and wind upwith good synergy if you work at it and do a lot of trial and error, I found with the Kubala Sosnas that they work well individually, but excellently as a system. You can't go wrong wit... | |
| NHT 3.3s -- too big for my room? Well then they might work, the trapezoidal shape is an advantage, and I forgot, but I believe the front baffles are canted inward so that the back of the speaker is flat on the wall but the front is toed in towards the listening position. That als... | |
| NHT 3.3s -- too big for my room? I'm not sure; the problem (advantage in some rooms) that I can see is that the NHTs were designed to go back against the wall, so if you put them against the short wall they may have problems with sidewall reflections and perhaps too much bass rei... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Charlie, then what's your take on the one member in our club who correctly knew when the clock was in or out of the system? Knowing the guy, he was not guessing (he has some of the better ears in the club, especially for tweaks), and in fact told ... | |
| DK Design Group vs. Boulder The only person who can compare the Boulder to the DK and determine if it's better is you. Period. If a dealer won't let you borrow it (and for the price you'd be spending, he should), then bring your DK to the dealer's to do the comparison. To th... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Tbg, the two who took the sighted test heard no difference with the clock in or out of the house. In the NJAS test, I as the tester was the only one who knew when the clock was in or out of the system, and asked people to tell me if there was a ch... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? I think our members are clocked out, but I think I'll probably do something to take the clock in and out without anyone knowing and see if anyone notices. We've got a speaker manufacturer demoing and I don't want to steal his spotlight. I have don... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Tonnesen: The results of the fairly unscientific blind test we did with the NJ Audio Society are referenced earlier in one of my posts on this thread (you have to go to another of the many threads on this topic to find it). Take a look at the resu... | |
| What preamp for Lamm M1.2 ? I have listened to the two of them at lemgth. If I had not heard the L2, I would have thought that the LL2 was their best line stage. To my ears, the L2 is just a bit more refined in the highs, more neutral and extended in the deep bass (the LL2 h... | |
| RACHMANINOFF PIANO CONCERTO 2 I also like the Richter on DG, a very idiosyncratic performance (he starts it slower than anyone and ends it up faster!). And Ashkenazy, of course, particularly the 1971 version Sugarbrie mentions from his first cycle. Forget sonics on this piece,... | |
| George Kaye Small tube Tester I would suggest you go to the Moscode link under "Manufacturers" here on the A-gon and contact George directly through the site links. Not sure if he still makes them, but he might. | |
| Is Apogee in a class by itself among planars? My memory of the old Apogees is fading, so it's hard for me to compare, but the Analysis Plus speakers available now sounded better to me than I recall the Apogees at the time, particularly in the bass. A friend of mine who hates planars has actua... | |
| 25 year old polk 2.3's will I hear an improvement? Mejames--perhaps in another setting, but given their "omnipolar" design, not where Gammajo has them placed in his room. |
