| The most hilarious ad ever on Audiogon? That's what's so great about them!!! The Ultimate Reference will replace the casters with points and offer silver as a color option!!! | |
| Balanced tube preamps w/ remote to consider? Pedrillo sorry its SE!!! My bad! | |
| Balanced tube preamps w/ remote to consider? What about a Joule Electra LA-150 mkll with Purist wire upgrade on the GoN for $2850. I've owned the Calypso, fun to roll tubes in but always a little lean sounding in my system (because of the Wilsons?). I auditioned the ARC LS-26, probably shoul... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? I think the original two point are valid but a third point is needed. Dgarretson nailed it at the start."a better term to use is a flat frequency response"Ignores correct pitch & timbre, the hallmark of a high-end system."No real performing sp... | |
| For Basis TT owners does the VPI SDS work? DasI bought a VPI SDS 7 days ago and think it's worth it. I used a Clearaudio Strobe Disc and Strobe Laser to adjust the speeds it was amazing how far off the speeds were. There was a different feeling to the music when played at the correct speed... | |

| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. Some things can put this obsession into a proper perspective. You have lost much.Best wishes.Sam | |
| Can a Magnepan 1.6 be BI AMPED? It's been awhile but I think the Onkyo/pre/processor and a high current amp for the Maggies were fine for HT. Enjoy | |
| Purist Audio : Proteus Provectus speaker cable NoliJust saw your question.They are "warmer" than my old AQ Volcanos with more inner detail.I think the notes sounded fuller, richer just more natural sounding to my ears. Are the PPPs warm or were the AQVs lean?Rather than type it out you can cli... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. Nice job on the TT rack!!! I take back the Koetsu suggestion and change it to, get her an OTL for X-mas. | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. I think some sorbothane between the racks and shelves including the tt shelf would be a good starting place. You can get sheets of 30D or 50D by 1/4" or 1/2" thick x 4"x 4" and cut short thin strips, Grand Prix Audio uses sorbothane in a similar w... | |
| Joule - Electra: Just How Hot?? I haven't had any problems with the VZN-160's. The preamp is a Conrad Johnson Act 2 and I haven't had any problems with it. | |
| Joule - Electra: Just How Hot?? I have the VZN-160's without air conditioning, you'll be fine with air. You'll be hard pressed to get their quality of sound anywhere else in the $6500 range. I'm assuming your going for the VZN-100's on AgoN.Sam | |
| Can a Magnepan 1.6 be BI AMPED? Are you thinking the 906 is driving 696 sq in MMG's fine so I'll use another 2 channels of amplification to drive the extra 539 sq in's of the 1.6's? Personally I'd keep the MMG's, they're working fine correct, and save up some money to upgrade th... |
