| Beautiful Speakers i heard these a few years back - best sound in show at s'phile '96, imho... (the diapason adamantes' weren't far behind, at 1/9th the price!) but, prolly no better than the avantgarde acoustics. (never heard 'em back-to-back, tho) as for looks, th... | |
| Beautiful Speakers diapason adamantes, on their dedicated stands - these are absolutely gorgeous, imho. some of the best sound i've ever heard from 2-way monitors, also, if that's of any import... :>) they do an amazing disappearing act. doug | |
| Anyone Know What VTL sounds like? pls1 - i hear ya on the melos. my recently-acquired music-director yust came back from melos w/the rest of its updates completed (the previous owner had paid for a complete update, but it seems they left out some caps.) well, i have had it back fo... | |
| Best Preamp under 10K hey albert, have ewe ever listened to a melos ma-333 or music-director? it's given me the same sensations ewe describe about the aesthetics callisto. don't tell me that i'm not done upgrading my preamp yet! ;~) doug | |

| speaker upgrade i'd check out the avantgarde duo's, sometimes awailable used , at or below your price-range (for their latest wersion; the earlier wersion is even less $$$). as this speaker is outta my price-range, i am going to get a custom-tweeked pair of the n... | |
| Male audiophile seeking Female audiophil well, 6 months of searching for a gnu preamp are over - after 4 different preamps, much interaction w/the ups guy (not yet over - in fact - gotta ship out the cary next week!), my recently-purchased melos preamp, back from las-vegas for a tune-up,... | |
| Preamp for rogue 88 i replaced a hot-rodded rogue 99 w/a cary slp98, which was marginally better than the rogue in *all* areas, except for the bass response - where it was *way* better! i think the rogues' poor bass response in my system was due to an impedence misma... | |
| Metal or Fabric Dome tweeter i've heard both dynaudio tweeters, & scan-speak tweeters, & think they can make exceptional sound. that said, i also love the focal titanium inwerted-dome tweeters in my current meret re's. i've never heard any shrill irritating sound from... | |
| Rock and Roll Speakers if ya want a full-range speaker w/o a subwoofer set-up, then go w/avantgarde acoustics horns (their top-line model *does* come w/an extra pair of outboard subs), or one of vmps' top models. ehider is right about vmps - wery dynamic, but their earl... | |
| New (used) pre-amp with phono i don't have 1st-hand experience w/the cat, but i understand it's an excellent piece. no reason why ewe shouldn't be able to use the electrocompaniet fono-stage w/it, or any other line-stage. i have an old electro ec-1a preamp, & its fono-stag... | |
| Vinyl vs. CD bush go to a better school than i?!? HA! in yer dreams, speculator-man! | |
| Neophite needing advice jeff, i got my 1st linn preamp ~4 years ago, & i really *did* like it. but after trying tube-stuff, no way isle ever go back to linn for my main rig. trick is to find a tubed preamp that still has accuracy, transparancy & detail of the lin... | |
| static when adjusting gain control yule need your wolume pot either cleaned or replaced. perhaps "exercising" it - repeatedly turning the knob back-n-forth - may help to clean it. obviously ya don't wanna try this w/an active source playing! ;~) doug | |
| Musicality v. Resolution -- Extremes? or, try a "highly-resolved" cd-player, like an alchemist/resolution-audio/or? into a nice tube preamp like the cary slp98, melos music director, rogue 99 or? personally, i don't think there *exists* a cd-player that approaches both "resolving powe... |
