| Graham Nightingale, anyone? $3800 + the cost of the arm. Yikes! Sounds very intriguing, though.Not anytime soon for me... :-(Cheers, Spencer | |
| What small HT speakers to buy? Magnepans! They have nice wall-mounted options that should crush most of the tiny compromise options out there. | |
| Possible move to tubes… help direct me Mij,A concern & a suggestion...I'm not sure if the EVS has XLR outputs. If not, then to use the BAT amps, you'll need to use their XLR-to-RCA adapters. This functions okay, but loses some of the benefit of the BAT all balanced design. Many(per... | |
| Bi wire / bi amp The Cary website had an article about biamping. They are big fans of biamping @ Cary. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Does "Non Compensated" Reviewing Still Exist? Rosstaman,Thought we almost had it here, but some have told me offline that their posts containing negative comments about a product have been deleted from this website. Big brother is definitely out there. But you didn't hear it from me! Cheers, ... | |
| Does "Non Compensated" Reviewing Still Exist? There's as much wisdom in this thread before my comments that exceeds that in your typical issue of the big two, both of which I subscribe to. A-gon & audioasylum clearly offer more independent thinkers. Unfortunately, I hear there are also lo... | |
| The Flaming Lips are Go Manifesto Blkadr,You're right. I saw Wayne Coyne's personal top 10 in the Rolling Stone Top 500 Albums of All Time". His top 3 are:Bjork - DebutBeatles - White AlbumWizard of Oz - Orig. Soundtrack Gotta admit, I thought he'd have some Zappa in his list. Che... | |
| Berning ZH 270 and Power conditioning Henry,I've heard that the commonly recommended mods for the Berning include the Silent Source power cable. On my own amp, which doesn't have the upgrades, I use a Virtual Dynamics PC, and a Blue Circle Music Ring conditioner. It sounds quieter w/t... | |
| Newbie Question: MM v. MC cartridges? Generally speaking, yes you're missing out. Most of the top carts are MC, although there are certainly some nice MM out there. The ear phono stage is a good one, and with a nice table, you will certainly hear a difference. Check the archives and y... | |
| What audio equipment should I take to Kirkuk, Iraq How about an ipod & a headroom amp to go w/it? | |
| Looking for a monitor that likes walls The Proacs usually sound best away from the wall. Another British speaker that is good near the wall is the Mission, although not as good as some of the higher priced that Lazarus suggests. Merlin TSMs are another nice option, but not sure how wel... | |
| Why do tubed preamps image better than SS? Search the archives. This has been asked many times....Cheers, Spencer | |
| 14 x 14 foot room, too small for Magnepan MMGs? Duke raises a good point; dealing w/square room will dramatically affect the sound. You might look at the acoustics forum and/or sights such as rives.com and realtraps.com. I'm no expert, but guess that some type of bass traps will help a lot in t... | |
| I'm thinking of getting into tubes, what do you Gfloyd53,Just got caught up on this thread. Sorry to have left you hanging. I think the break-in was the key to your initial issues. From your comment about jumpers, it sounds like the speakers are bi-wirable. I'd post a question in speaker forum ... | |
| Best integrated under $1500 with Phono Baranyi,The Berning is all that & more. It is definitely better with a preamp, but still better than most other things running direct. Buying the Berning now, and waiting on a preamp might be the ticket for you. I didn't have the Berning until... |
