| Apogee versus German Physics Yeah, the App's really were miracle speakers. Someone should revive them full throttle. Even crappy old CDs from the mid-80s sounded great. I still remember listening to Santana, Woodstock, and my trusty old Time-Life 60s & 70s CDs and feeling... | |
| Apogee versus German Physics Zane, did you ever have problems with your Apogees (Stage-based, I see)? I loved mine but one bass ribbon started buzzing and 2 repair attempts by Apogee at the time failed. I would seriously consider getting them again if I could be sure they wer... | |
| Best Cheap Speakers - New or Old Good to hear someone else thought highly of the Dynacos. Dynaco called them "natural sound" speakers. I wish some of the big speaker designers could hear what such a minimalist box could accomplish. Regalma1: What PSB's did you like? | |
| Watt Puppy 7 with Pass X250.5? I think it may depend on what kind of music you listen to. Based my my experience with WP 6s I owned for a year or so, the soundstage is very engaging. The low end is spectacular and very satisfying: detailed and not boomy, clear and not opaque; t... | |
| Best Cheap Speakers - New or Old Dynaco A25s (virtually free by audiophile standards). I used them happily for 12 years way back when. They show up used fairly often here and on eBay and other audio trading sites. | |
| Classic speakers to hunt down used It's a flashback to 1971 for me, but for what it's worth, here's a coredump of my memory when I was a teenager...Dynaco A25--way more integrated and driverless sound than AR, Advent, (and just plain boring KLHs)and simply ahead of its time. I used... | |
| Managing EMM Fiber Optic cables Thanks Nevillekapidia. Anyone else try Aural Symphonics EMM series cables? | |
| Managing EMM Fiber Optic cables Mike, Thanks for the (always sage) advice. | |
| Accuphase CD players versus Naim CD players Not exactly to your point, but I have an Accuphase DP75V and the EMM DCC2 (non-signature) and CDSD transport. While the EMM definitely is more lifelike with big, rounder, denser images and a more cavernous, open listening field, the 7-year-old Acc... | |
| Quietest amp you ever owned ? Both my Edge NL12.1 and my Pass X350 were completely silent (but the Pass was HOT HOT HOT; The Edge is barely warm). | |
| Thoughts on Kharma's new ceramic tweeter? Very interesting! Thanks. I remember that the mod-Focal was used in the original ($70K) Exquisite 1B 5-6 years back. | |
| LS3/5. What do u think ...the best match (Correction to my FYI earlier):LS3/5A is reviewed by Paul Seydor in the new (Nov. 2006) TAS. | |

| How to stabilize speakers without spikes. Use Harmonix footers under the spikes. They are expensive but actually improve the sound (at least in my case it did, tightening bass and adding some needed warmth). | |
| Headphone I've had a headroom max for several years with various phones & sources & I have never liked the crossfeed feature at all. It adds some unnatural, annoying ambiance. I do highly recommend the max (last generation, preferably with the later... |
