| Does anyone do speaker mods? Have heard great things about Bill Legall, both the man & his work. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Atma-Sphere MA-1 amps Just in case anyone is unfamiliar with it, there is also a version of the MA1s that come with 4 12SX7 tubes in lieu of the 6SN7s. This is the version I own. Rolling 12SX7s isn't an issue, as there are not many to choose from. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Pre Amp Help Borrow something from another local audionut and use that to help you decide. Photon's comments make good sense, and without getting into specific brands etc., I'd guess that replacing the Adcom would make a surprising amount of difference. How ef... | |
| aerial model 7, both speakers completly smoked send them to Aerial! | |
| Atma-sphere S-30 with Reference 3A? Marty,FWIW, I've found the tonal balance great when pairing my MA1s with my VSM-MXs. Not exactly what you're trying to do, but perhaps a relevant data point...Cheers,Spencer | |
| Atma-Sphere MA-1 amps Biased as an owner could be, I'm very happy with these amps, and have lived with many others(check my system page: "Crisis Narrowly Averted". The Atmas have a clarity and ease of presentation that few amps do. The midrange purity is remarkable, hi... | |
| Amp Options for Evolution Acoustics Speakers Jonathan,Please comment on how/what OTLs and Atma-Spheres in particular do vs. others when paired with the Evolutions. Cheers,Spencer | |
| 16K to Spend. Help me make the end all Upgrade. Lots of folks can surprise us with knowledge and understanding of speakers. But without passion, resources, business acumen, manufacturing skills, patience and luck, they will just amount to one of hundreds who've gone out of business building spe... | |
| Hobbies other than Audiophiliac? Poker. It pays for my records. | |
| Can anyone recommend a Phono Pre Amp? I've heard good things about the Aqvox...might be worth checking out. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Impressions of Beck's New album? Yeah, I also love Sea Change; it's great on vinyl. Mutations is also terrific. Looking forward to hearing the new one. | |
| 50's Jazz Club Sounding Songs? This thread inspires me to mention that everyone here should watch the documentary "History of Blue Note: The Alfred Lion Story", it is often rerun on the Ovation cable network, and is also available to rent. Most of the musicians on this thread a... | |
| 16K to Spend. Help me make the end all Upgrade. Oh man, listen long & hard before buying the Wilsons. Many threads you can search w/ pros & cons, but safe to say that opinions on them are greatly debated.As a former Avalon owner, I agree that they look great. They are sensitive to match... | |
| classic rock lps on VPI Sns,You've might already tried this, but VPI recommends setting vtf all the way or even a bit beyond the heavy end of the manufacturers suggested range. I find this helps in bottom end and dynamics. Also, if you don't have a ringclamp, and have a ... | |
| Review: Aria WV5 XL (Line Stage only) Tube preamp John,If you ever come to Philly, and want to bring the WV, you can do it here. :) Fat chance, right? Yes, I was fortunate to find a Vendetta in good shape, and then get Mr. Curl to do all his latest upgrades(e.g. Teflon caps, etc.). I haven't had ... |
