| what really happened to j. skul I thought J. Skull to be perhaps the most pompous, arrogant reviewer out there, whose reviews revealed mostly how full of himself he was, and the actual substance of the reviews was very mediocre at best.Most of the time, I would finish the review... | |
| Bruckner 9th... Which is the better performance and orchestra, Ref. Record. or Telarc? Is Giulini's a newer digital DG? Some of the DGs are not very good sonically, congested and tunnel-like. | |
| Fedex Warning: $100 Limit Insurance on Ground Both my Fedex facilities are refusing to insure over $100 for Ground electronics. I called Fedex Ground again today. The rep spoke to Claims, who gave him a vague answer, referring to the paragraph that states "easily damaged or sensitive goods". ... | |
| Bruckner 9th... Is there a good-sounding digital or analog transfer, that is also a great interpretation of the 7th, 8th and 9th? I'm sorry, but I don't agree with the Karajan recommendations. I have the VPO 8th, and I fail to see why it has been so highly rated.... | |
| Fedex Warning: $100 Limit Insurance on Ground NO NO NO NO! I asked the manager of my Fedex facility, and he showed me the Dec. 2002 revised regulations sheet where nothing electronic or computer related will be insured for over $100 Ground. No, you can't buy extra insurance. Another local Fed... | |
| OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything? Hugs all around............. | |
| OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything? Thanks for the kind words, Brulee. You're a class act yourself. Yes, Allanb & his friend amazed me in being so generous. I will be in contact with the gentleman and see if a listen can be arranged. | |
| OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything? Thanks for your apology, Twl. Sorry for my overreaction. | |
| OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything? OK, OK......Maybe I don't fully know what type of design innovation Berning has devised, that no transformers are needed. I won't say anything more against it. I will admit that it is considered in high acclaim, so there must be something special ... | |
| OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything? Twl, your comments show gross rudeness. Your adolescent, condescending comments should be kept to the high school playground.You assert that the elimination of the output transformer accounts for an amp that weighs 10 pounds. Transistor amps don't... | |
| OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything? Someone has emailed me privately to express his opinion of the Atma-Sphere M60. He owned them, and found that the input stage creates distortion that you can hear, although they are transparent and real sounding. He claims most owners have modifie... | |
| OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything? Verybigamp obviously has some very strong feelings on these amps. I don't think I'll have to ask for others to react to this.About the Berning, after seeing how it looks like someone made it in their garage, perhaps that explains the stingy two-ye... | |
| B&W 801 III w/northcreek crossovers or nautilus801 The northcreeks will improve the sound considerably, but still no match for the Nautilus. Actually, I thought the 801s were not as good sounding as the 802 III. Because of the large bass driver and the small 5" midrange, it wasn't the best result.... | |
| OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything? Trelja, you did mention OTL to me and I know that you own OTL, and you did provide me with some food for thought there. But you were not the Audiogoner I was referring to. You don't own Atma-spheres, which at the start of this thread, I mentioned ... | |
| OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything? It sounds to me like you need to commit to an OTL amp, and then choose a speaker that works well with it. This is a big step, and I'm not sure if I'm ready for such a commitment. I also read quite a few reviews on the otlamp.com website. Although ... |
