| BEST SUB FOR MUSIC i heard a $1200 rel in my home; i've heard the 18" velodyne in a store. bottom line: i wouldn't trade my pair of vmps larger subs, adcom gfa555 amps, & marchand deluxe xm-9 x-over for a *pair* of the top-line models from rel or velodyne. i mig... | |
| Who can fix electrocompaniet amps yup, i pointed out the fuse differences to ljgj in my post on 8 nov... ;~) ljgj, i'm glad you're back up & running - these amps are really nice-sounding amps, imo...doug s. | |
| Superb PHONO Preamp ? extremephono - you're the only one i've heard of that has tried the pentagon fono-stage. i presently own & enjoy one, run thru a melos music-director preamp. any recommendations on how to improve on it, w/o breaking the bank? buying used, of c... | |
| Which crossover should I buy? hi kelly, i guess some folks at a-gon are more equal than others - when i attempt to post to the forums in my "native tung", the posts get rejected, as not being appropriate language for such a forum. what' your secret - do i need knee-pads? ;~) r... | |
| Who can fix electrocompaniet amps i bought a new pair of aw60ftt's from a european distributor, & proceeded to blow up one of the transformers, trying to convert it to 120v from the 220v eurospec voltage. ec had provided me w/the conversion info, but there was a huge language ... | |
| Which crossover should I buy? oh yeah, ed, regarding ktsteamer's rig, i agree that the best solution for the linns would seem to be using their own active hardware...doug s. | |
| Which crossover should I buy? ed, what makes the marchand better is the sound... ;~) just kidding, i really have no in-depth experience w/the bryston. accolades from others who *have* heard both, plus the features & price, were enough for me. regarding stepped attenuators,... | |
| Who can fix electrocompaniet amps bwhite is correct - heinz preiss is *da man* for electro in the usa. re: fuses, i believe the correct fuse for your amp would be a 5a 125v slow-blow fuse.hth, doug s., satisfied electrocompaniet owner | |
| Which crossover should I buy? a couple mfr's i spoke w/several years ago, when i was in the market (and since then ,as well), said the marchand deluxe version of the xm-9 was at least as good as the bryston, if not better. the fact that the marchand was less than half the pric... | |

| Rega P3 / Music Hall MMF 5 or 7 Turntable decision oracle delphiwell tempered 'table/classic sota star sapphire all the above can be found used for $1k or less, complete w/tonearms, & sometimes decent cartridges, to boot. nothing brand-new in this price-range will come close, imo.ymmv, doug s. | |
| What have you been listening to these five weeks? randy newman's album "sail away" was written 30 years ago. it seems many of the songs could have been written after 11 sept '01... doug s. | |
| Inexpensive Pre with headphone jack recommendation the only problem w/getting a melos sha-gold is it will likely end up in yer *main* system, cuz it's such a nice preamp! ;~) the headfone amp is universally regarded as one of, if not *the* best headfone amps out there. another lower-cost option fo... | |
| How could surround sound be used in an audiophile system? hi redwood, here's what i'd do - lose all but the two front corner horns 1st. then get a *good* tubed preamp. then, lose the levinson amps - overkill for klipschorns, imo. i'd bet a $238 pair of 8wpc asl wave amps wood sound better w/the klipschor... | |
| LeAmp from Norh? hi sean,it wasn't really brian that was riding 'em hard, tho he *was* saying that mr. curl's measurements were ok, as far as he knew. it was mr. curl & some inmates that seem not to like the idea of a mfr publishing false specs, that seemed to... |
