| Poulenc double piano concerto? I have a recording of this delightful piece on an Argo cd with the Philharmonia conducted by Charles Dutoit. The bonuses are the solo piano concerto and the terrific organ concerto with Lionel Roge at the keyboard. They all show what to me sounds ... | |
| Sunfire Signature... what is this? The word "Signature" on the serial number sticker and the 480 Joule meter reading indicate pretty conclusively that you have the real 600 watt version. Also, it is likely your serial number is preceded by the designation "SS." This is yet another ... | |
| Comparison I used Flatline II cables until I bought speakers whose manufacturer (Shahinian Acoustics) recommended (among others) Kimber. Since I was finding my new (used) speakers a bit harsh in the highs, I figured a switch to Kimber might be just the thing... | |

| Audible Illusions 3A MM or MC phono board? Unfortunately for some years now it has been difficult, aggravating, and often fruitless to try to get response or service out of Audible Illusions or its owner/manager Art Ferris. If you should succeed in getting hem to accept your preamp for alt... | |
| Audible Illusions hiss If the level of "hiss" does not change with the gain controls and the same noise is present on all inputs, it is virtually certain the problem is not tubes. Both channels/equal noise also means the difficulty is very likely in the power supply, wh... | |
| Audio Space CDP-8A vrs Jolida JD100A Just a quickie:I had the Jolida for a few years. Wanted to get HDCD capability. Tried an OPPO BDP95. Found it good but a touch threadbare compared to the Jolida. Tried an Audio Space CDP-8a (tubes, like the Jolida) and sold the Jolida.I honestly d... | |
| Tubed Universal CD Players? The Cayin does not do HDCD. | |
| Music Reference Tube Amp Question Strongly recommend you call or email Roger Modjeski himself. He has always been very forthcoming regarding his designs and how to deal with them. | |
| Dynavector 20XH W/ Rega P5- Less Bass Than 10X5? With a Morch UP-4 arm (7.4 gm mass) my switch from a 10x5 to a DV20XH was an unquestionable improvement, top to bottom. I definitely did not experience any loss of bass in either dynamics or quality. My own feeling about the midranges would be tha... | |
| Humming and static noise, Plinius SA 100 MkIII This amp (I have had two of them) does not behave as well in bridged mono as in regular 2-channel stereo. I couldn't use mine in mono at all because of distortion problems.Try running the amps in stereo, instead, and see what happens. | |
| What's a "large" room Ohm Walsh speakers are also rated by room area. | |
| What speakers use SEAS or SEAS-sourced drivers? Although you'll have the devil's own time trying to audition them, Shahinian speakers utilize mostly SEAS drivers for bass and midrange on all their speakers. They do not, as far as I know, use the top of the line versions. Nevertheless, they soun... | |
| Van Alstine? Tgrisham:Please read my posts above. Hidden in the middle is a comparison of the AVA Ultra 550 with Plinius SA100III, Plinius P8, Sunfire signature 600, and the Wyred 4 Sound ST-1000.Unless I can establish reasonable certainty through blind testin... | |
| Van Alstine? tonypony--I was commenting on the Van Alstine (yes, the current model, undoubled) vis a vis three other amplifiers in the same setup. Nothing was changed except the amps, themselves. My whole point had to do with whether or not the differences I p... |
