| How do you all store CDs? Nothing fancy, but Ikea sells a cherry (veneer) piece that is about 7 feet tall by about 7 inches wide, so they hold around 200 CDs. It looks good if you have a tall sectioned entertainment center, and can fit one on each side and a couple in the ... | |
| Opinions about Coincident's Super Eclipse speaker Sunnyjim:I purchased a pair of the new Super Eclipse direct from Israel (no local dealer). It was a fantastic purchase. I listened to speakers for a couple of years before purchasing (even at the Adelphi in Singapore). I was concerned that the hig... | |
| Skinny speakers and wretched excess System Audio makes some beautiful speakers, that are said to be very good for HT. They specialize in "skinny". I have heard them here in Norway, and the sound very nice, and are as thin as anything I have ever seen. | |
| The Little Tube Amp That Could? I just saw a couple of Antique Sound Labs monoblocks for sale for around $800 the pair, using KT88 tubes, single ended, at about 25 wpc. I own the MG15SI DT (15 wpc single ended triode/pentode stereo amp). Purchased for about $550 as a demo. Bough... | |
| Most musical high-efficient 3-way bi-ampable spkr? Your fellow Canadian, Mr. Israel Blume, makes speakers that are hard to beat for your specifications. Coincident Super Eclipse are just about in your price range, and can be made for bi-amping upon request. 92db sensitive, 14 ohm (min 10), with re... | |
| Good Reasonably Priced Seperate Phono Stage?? Might I recommend the Camelot Technologies Lancelot Pro. Michael Fremer did a piece on separate Phono Pre-amps a year or so ago and put this one on top of his enjoyment list, except for a couple in the stratosphere price range. I purchased mine fr... | |
| Best all Canadian system Coincident Speakers, maybe best all-round speaker for the price (the Super Eclipse). Would be my first choice in speakers, Canadian or not. Oops, did I forget to mention? They WERE my first choice, since I bought a pair. Fantastic!! | |
| SS or tube preamp? Which one? I second (or third, etc.) the vote for tubes, for music. No opinion regarding Ht.My experience is similar to many you will read about on your post and others on this subject. I purchased a SS amp and a tube pre. Rather expensive amp, highly regard... | |
| Levinson Amps: What do they really sound like? I absolutely agree with the last entry. I have never owned one, but heard them on many occasions. Matched to the proper speaker (Revel Studio or Salon with Levinson is a very hard to beat combination) and they sound as beautiful, tremdendous, etc ... | |
| What tube preamp to get to smooth out the sound????? There have been several tube pre-amp recommendations recently in this forum, which added to these excellent additional recommendations, should be very useful to you. I think you will find that many will agree with me when I recommend you try a Rog... | |
| best cd player for 2500- 3500 Absolutely. I won't ask the usual questions about your gear or music tastes. I will only state that I highly recommend you audition the Cary 303 (or 306 if you want to spend a little more). It is HDCD compatible and is fabulous on all types of mus... | |
| Headphones Sorry to stay off the subject, but Whatjd, I still have the AT electret headphones. I have not used them in years, but once upon a time I was very very smitten. Very engaging headphone. The problem at the moment is that they almost require that yo... | |
| Vienna Acoustics "Mahler" Regarding side firing woofers. As usual, it is not the design but the implementation of the design. Several fine speakers manufacturers opt for it, including the highly regarded Audio Physic Virgo, and from the slam of the NHT 3.3 to the balanced ... | |
| Designs on the Genesis 1.1 Reference? The only thing I am considering is how to locate the buyer, befriend him/her, and invite myself over for a listen to his/her system. Seriously, does anyone know where a pair of these can be auditioned? No, I am not in the market for a pair, but if... | |
| Pre-amp dilemma.... again After much hunting I am extremely pleased with my purchase of a Rogue 99 (uses 4 x 6SN7 tubes). Mine includes remote control but I have a separate phono pre-amp. Count me in the crowd of very happy pre amp owners. Very quiet, beautiful, variable g... |
