| Clement Perry's new reference speaker Tab 110s - Sorry I used an incorrect date in my letter, but, I think you get the idea that I really was impressed by this speaker and the associated system. Maybe they won't transport you into the future, but, they will transport you to the recodi... | |
| Clement Perry's new reference speaker Just when things seem to be quieting down on this thread, here I come to stir the pot again! I have been involved in this hobby for nearly 40 years and have seen/heard just about every type of loudspeaker on the the planet. Of course, I don't mean... | |
| Argent Room Lenses? I have had very good results in my room in "cleaning up" the overall soundstage and smoothing out a slight midbass hump. While the suggested placement is a good starting point, you will definitely want to experiment with other setups. Overall, a V... | |
| Is there an AutoGon on the 'net? Jeff,Check out "Autotrader.com" they include both dealer and private seller listings.Ron | |
| I called Richard Vandersteen I had seen the previous thread on this subject and now see another. Even though Pete's remarks are positive to Vandersteen, don't you also have to wonder how many of the high-end gurus (most of whom are willing to chat) would remain willing if the... | |
| Hall of Shame Right on, Maxgain!! | |
| Hall of Shame I think that Suretyguy's comments are right on target. There is no question that the law of diminishing returns operates on, perhaps, its highest level in the world of high-end audio. That said, I fall into the camp that has spent way too much on ... | |
| Hall of Shame I normally would not weigh in on something like this with all it's potential for inflaming the emotions of us hyper-sensitive audiophiles, but, I've got to comment in this case. Frankly, I'm amazed by the post of Mikeam re: the Dynaudio Evidence. ... | |
| What is your upgrade philosophy? I tend to agree with Perfectimage in that you should have a sense of what the final outcome is going to be and pick and choose as "deals" become available and your budget allows. That said, however, there is much to be said as to upgrading your so... | |
| HIFi in Vancouver, B.C. This thread raises an interesting point, namely, the treatment, by dealers, of the traveling audiophile. Over the past 30 years that I've been involved in this hobby, one of the ways I sometimes spend leisure time, when traveling, is to stop in at... | |
| Expensive tweaks-are they worth it? I found that the Argent Room Lenses were one of the most cost-effective and significant tweaks I have ever used. Bass performance in my room was much improved with deeper extension as well as taming a mid-bass hump. In addition, soundstaging was d... | |
| Wadia : what amp / preamp ? I run my 270/27ix into the Mark Levinson #32 preamp and #33 amplifiers. The results are spectacular IMHO. BTW, the sound was much improved when changing to Transparent XL power cords on the Wadia gear. | |
| Whats better Nautilus 802 or 801 Not to pile on, but, I'm in agreement with the above posters who favor the 802s. I do not own them, but, have spent time comparing them to the 801s and my sense is that the 802 bass is much more articulate and better integrated in the overall pres... | |
| What is your OTHER passion? Sports cars. I actually drive them on the racetrack (Watkins Glen, Pocono, Lime Rock, etc.). I also have two audiophile friends who are also into the sports car/driving experience. As noted above, there seems to be some correlation. Let the pyscho... | |
| Do Transparant Cables have a sonic sig? I'm obviously biased since I recently replaced all my cables with Transparent Reference XL, but, it wasn't until after trying many other top-of-the-line cables (to not offend anyone - I won't list them). However, the point is that for me, in my sy... |
