| battery powered with 'vivid' sound Thanks for the responses, Listens2Tubes and Vinnie.I dont mean to single out Red Wine Audio in my concerns about battery powered hi-fi being required to stay plugged in, its just that in doing some of my preliminary research on the RWA 30.2 unit, ... | |
| battery powered with 'vivid' sound So this may seem like a stupid question, and it may in fact be better suited for a Red Wine Audio forum directly, but can you in fact unplug the Signature 30.2 from the wall and then listen to it?It seems like everywhere I read, this amp has to st... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood A few updates for this thread:If you see the movie "Jumper" the guy's place is filled with Meridian gear.If you watch the movie "Basic Instinct 2", Sharon Stone's shrink has some Classe gear in his office.If you watch the show Californication on S... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? This is a great question that I am actually facing too. As I have narrowed my system down to a single source (vinyl playback), I will be selling my active linestage quite soon. The only pre-amplification I will be left with, after that sale, is my... | |
| Resitor Passive I'm pretty sure that Jud Barber uses a certain Alps pot. In my LA-150 (version II) the manual said "it was not the highest quality, but it did sound the best".-Jake | |
| Amp for Quad ESL 57 Hello Mrtennis,I also use VTL tiny triodes on my Quad ESL 57s. They are a fun little amplifier, and quite worth the price. I would highly recommend them for somebody on a limited budget or somebody that just wants some little amps that they can mo... | |
| Amp for Quad ESL 57 Hello Ggavetti,That EAR 890 / Quad ESL 57 combo is probably superb. I have thought about building a second system using the 890 with more modern Quads, like the 63 or the 988s.The advice I can offer on picking a pre-amp is this:Try a fully balance... | |
| Amp for Quad ESL 57 I love my Quad ESL speakers but my intention in this post is to offer some accolades for the EAR 861.With the Quads, I can say that for the money, this is the best hi-fi that I have had in my home. It is also, now, a musical reference point for me... | |
| Einstein OTL amps experience Hey DocSavage, can we get an update on the results of the shootout?I love the OTL sound and am interested in hearing anything more about Einstein amps. | |
| Why would you risk it? Hmmmmm, I hate to get off topic, but I "feel" for the pilot(s) and their families. Most cargo can be replaced. Family members cannot. Fortunately the crew members turned out to be alright.As for insuring anything that you ship, hey, the insurance ... | |
| The long / Narrow room - system configuration If I had a room like FJN04's, you could not machine gun the smile off of my face. My tiny dedicated listening room is 10x14 (with a 10 foot high cathedral ceiling). My room blows. Speakers go on the long wall, about 6.5 to 7 feet apart. They are p... | |
| glam rock fans? Darren,I think the fact that you actually wear a Cinderalla shirt may be on par with me having bought a Rosemary Clooney SACD last week. They are both kinda silly, but hey, if you like the tunes, go for it. This is America! It is our given right (... | |
| glam rock fans? Dzigon,There is no way that I'm knocking the 80s metal scene as a whole. Hell, in the last few years I've seen Testament, Exodus, S.O.D., Satyricon, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden, etc, all at seperate shows...and none of them were at that crappy O... | |
| glam rock fans? Yeah, there is definately no justice in that little sordid chapter of musical history. There are a lot of contemporary bands that have taken a cue from the REAL glam bands of the 70s though. The Darkness, Marilyn Manson, Turbonegro, and a few othe... | |
| glam rock fans? No. Unfortunately you are a bit off the mark. The bands like Poison, Warrant, and Bon Jovi are "glam metal" or "hair metal".What was once known as "Glam" was typically British stuff in the early to mid-70s like Slade, Mott the Hoople, Bowie, Sweet... |
