| Changing from Vinyl to Digital in Brave New World Bill: something about your post kinda hit me in the gut and prompted me to offer my thoughts, probably because this change, for me, would be huge. First, I challenge your space restrictions. Downsizing to that degree is scary! I recommend that you... | |
| Audio Pro B2-50 Subwoofer Anyone? Thanks for your replies. Each is consistent with my thoughts. I have played with the sub on/off and do not think I am getting any deeper bass than my speakers provide. In fact, my speakers are giving 'more' bass than the sub. Each Woodmere speaker... | |
| Rachmaninoff Conc 2 Mercury Living Presence Hey, Jdaniel, I just wanted to have a bit of fun with this one, as I rarely post here. I think we are not that far apart. I cut my teeth on the Wild performance, and that must have a lot to do with it. He does seem to rush in parts and take a few ... | |
| Rachmaninoff Conc 2 Mercury Living Presence Jdaniel13 makes some educated points in his comparisons. to me, the Rubinstein version is, indeed, very nice. I will place a finer point on my reasons for preferring Wild: Rubinstein's performance/style is worthy of teaching to a graduate level cl... | |
| VAC Ren Mk III / Sig mkII Preamplifier with SS Amp Thanks for the feedback. One more question for D Schroeder and anyone else who might know: The CODA amps have a large disparity in impedance for input options>> Unbalanced is 50K Ohms, but Balanced is only 1,000 Ohms (frighteningly low for m... | |
| VAC Ren Mk III / Sig mkII Preamplifier with SS Amp Just waking up this thread in case more responders wish to share their experiences. I am considering a CODA 15.0 Class A solid state amp to be used with a VAC Signature Mk iia preamp with phono. Seems like the VAC preamp is good with most amps, bu... | |
| Rachmaninoff Conc 2 Mercury Living Presence I have always been partial to the Earl Wild series. Issued by Quintessence in the US, but based upon original British EMI and perhaps even Angel recordings, if memory serves. Chesky Records also re-mastered the same on their label. Absolutely mast... | |
| Am I going to regret the Gallo 3.1s? Photon46 had an experience similar to mine only 4 weeks ago. I heard the Gallo on a very expensive system using Aesthetix Atlas mono amps with Aesthetix pre and CDP. Very impressive imaging and percussion; obviously a very fast, crisp speaker, but... | |
| Tube amp decision - Thoughts Desalvo55:I will offer an alternative to amp replacement and throw out the notion of trading within Tyler Acoustics' line to the full-sized Woodmeres. Providing your room is large enough to utilize a speaker of that size, you might find that the r... | |
| Anybody Heard the CODA 15.0 Amplifier? Giving it another try..... | |
| Pass XA Monoblock Amps Bingo, Almarg!I have recently moved from Tyler's Woodmere 2 to the new-style full-sized Woodmeres, and I am getting to know the speakers pretty well now. Tyler had told me that the Woodmeres are 90db, calculated theoretically based upon the crosso... | |
| LAST Record Preservative. Do you believe? I have been using LAST products since I first learned of them in the mid-1980's. Yes, I believe that they offer a modest improvement in overall smoothness and sonics. I don't re-play the same records often enough to comment on the preservative val... | |
| Integrated Amplifiers with neutral sound I second Timlub's recommendation. I have had my CODA CSi for about 4 years and still love it. | |
| What are you 'TRULY' Looking for in Loudspeaker... Shadorne>> your description is just about the same as mine...for my ideal woman! Just add push-up bra, hair color and swish of the hips when she walks and you've got her nailed perfectly! | |
| Must Hear Speakers in $10K range Tyler Acoustics Woodmere and Decade D10. He is now making a new version of the venerable Woodmeres with revised cabinet design and rear ports. I suggest calling Tyler directly, as he will gladly answer any questions. |
