| All Value System Under 5K leafs, your point is well-taken - i approached the purchase of my melos pre w/much trepidation. but, i was reassured by the fact that melos audio restorations exists for the servicing & upgrading of these fine-sounding units. i'm sure the orig... | |
| Rogue 66 or AES pre? dave, yer dealer was giving ewe a good price on the rogue - about what i paid for my magnum-wersion of the 99. but, i'd never pay more than $1k for an sha-gold!bradz, yes i'm quite fluent in anglais, but i enyoy havin' fun, too - hope it doesn't b... | |
| Rogue 66 or AES pre? ya know, dave, in all seriousness - yer dealer recommending the rogue, is kinda funny - perhaps he carried rogue, & wanted sell gnu product? the reason i say this, is one dealer i spoke with - audio connection, in verona, nj (wery helpful, &am... | |
| All Value System Under 5K hi sibelius, i'd contact john meyer directly about this - as i'm sure ewe know, he's wery service-oriented - (as is klaus, of odyssey). but, i really doubt it's wery complicated - it wood yust inwolve removing the internal x-over, & wiring the... | |
| Rogue 66 or AES pre? hi david, it's obvious that ewe haven't had the opportunity to *hear* a melos preamp... ;~) and, what's wrong w/ewe - posting a response instead of yust pinging me w/negative wotes?!? ;~) regards, dug seed in ps - i know the real reason ewe won't ... | |
| Rogue 66 or AES pre? bradz, i must 1st say that i'm extrapolating here, cuz i've never heard a rogue66 or an aes preamp. but, i *did* do a direct comparison between a rogue 99 magnum-updated preamp, & a cary slp98. this was in my home, for a couple of months. the ... | |
| Best tube pre under 1500? while admittedly more than $1.5k, at less than $2k, a melos ma-333r/music director will hold its own w/the best preamps out there. for ~$1k, i'd get a melos sha-gold-r/maestro over any of the above-mentioned units. both units' later wersions had r... | |
| Speaker upgrade - please advise. at that price-range, i'd strongly consider the vmps ff3/sre - there's a pair on a-gon currrently for $4300. or the vmps ff1/sre, adwertized fo $6k on a-gon. the ff1 mite be overkill in yer room, tho... as ewe will need another amp to drive these, ... | |
| All Value System Under 5K sibelius, i've spoken w/john meyer of newform, as i'm also considering his speakers, & he sez that removing the passive x-overs, & going to active x-overs & bi-amping, gives even better results. since the newforms don't need any more p... | |
| Musical accuracy in subwoofers fyi, vmps' most expensive sub, w/options, lists for 115db. at this price, ewe can get two, a good outboard x-over (i like marchand), & a quality used amp (or two), & it will still cost less than *one* quality powered sub like a velodyne hg... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? hi detlof, albert was also kind enuff to send me a sample, but spring chores have so overwhelmed me that i haven't had a chance to inwestigate it yet. also, i don't have a record wacuum, & albert sez it really needs to be wacuumed after applic... | |
| TT: Aries or Delphi V i've never heard the aries/jmw. but, from comments, & having heard a vpi mk-iv, i can't imagine ewe woodn't like the sound. i have an old oracle, updated to all mk-v specs, except the mootor/power supply. i felt a much more cost-effective upgr... | |
| Musical accuracy in subwoofers while low-frequency extension is obviously important, i agree that thd is a critical spec for subwoofers. perhaps that's why the vmps subs, when used w/a quality outboard electronic x-over, are such over-achievers at their price-point. vmps' publi... | |
| Using Linn With Other Brands ah yes, dekay - i also thought of mike meyers' skit as the proprietor of that li'l scottish store! ;~)doug | |
