| $3500 integrated amp for Zu Definition speakers? Nope, don't know of any reviews. That larger 845 looks pretty sweet too, no? Tho it seems to lack a remote. But this amp is available in your backyard. You know you like 845s. LM Audio is being imported by the same guy who imports Shindo. The amp ... | |
| Thinking of an upgrade for my turntable system? I'd upgrade the cartridge. Maybe the lowest priced SoundSmith is in your price range? Alternatively, you could get the JICO SAS needle for your M97XE. Especially if your cart is getting up there in hrs. | |
| Good bass test tracks on vinyl If it is plumbing the depths you want, check out Sunn O))) or James Blake. But I would take a listen before you pull the trigger on one of their LPs since they are not for everyone. | |
| rear firing tweeters.... I do like that the Von Schweikert rear firing tweeters on the VR-4 and other models have attenuators so that you can adjust the level to better integrate the speaker in your listening space (or your listening preferences). | |
| Class A amps or Class D??: Which sounds better?? It really doesn't make much sense to discuss amplifiers apart from the speakers with which they will be paired. Different speakers have different amplification needs, and may have been designed with certain types of amplifiers in mind, as well as ... | |
| MM cartridge for WT Amadeus turntable Shure with JICO worked great for me, as did the lowest priced SoundSmith MI cart. | |
| LSA & Von Schweikert Probably should have Googled before asking. But I would still argue that the real key is in getting the crossover right. | |
| $3500 integrated amp for Zu Definition speakers? And they are for sale at In Living Stereo in NYC (taking a bow). | |
| $3500 integrated amp for Zu Definition speakers? How about this for up your alley Fred? I should charge a finders fee:LM Audio 218IA - $3500LM 218IA 22 watt per channel 845 SET. Driver tubes can be switched to adjust flavor. The options are 6V6, 6L6, 6550, EL34, KT88, 5881 etc. Remote control, a... | |
| REL subwoofers...old vs new I had a number of people recommend that I go with an older bulit in the UK ST model (ST=Strata, Storm, Stadium) over the comparably priced newer T models. But I was limited to the under $1000 price point. If you are only running one sub, you might... | |
| LSA & Von Schweikert Where did you get this inference that the LSAs are "essentially identical" to the Von Schweikert models you mention?I have no experience with them, but it is possible for speakers to resemble each other in terms of specs and other design features ... | |
| $3500 integrated amp for Zu Definition speakers? How about the LM Audio gear that Pitch Perfect Audio and other dealers who carry Shindo have also recently started carrying? | |
| PASS Labs x350.5 vrs. Parasound JC1 But Pryso, I'd say that there is good reason to be concerned about your experience (and the experiences cited above) of needing to return both of your amps for repairs. Even one repair on each amp is not a good sign at all. If it was an early prob... | |
| Hybrid Integrated Amps: Any Good? These can be fabulous sounding and a great way to get tube sound into speakers that otherwie aren't tube friendly (or which would require more tube power than you can afford). But it is all in the implementation. Don't know the Bada so can't comme... | |
| looking to audition Running Springs P C-- I have used the WyWires Juice II on the my Haley, with good results. But when comparing power cords on the Haley when I brought it up to blusnbike1954's place, we both agreed that his Kimber Palladium was an improvement over my WyWires. But, as al... |
