| Best of 2014 so far with bitchin soundstage? Sounds like the OP is more concerned about the "audiophile" experience than actually enjoying good music. My thoughts are that he will eventually mature in this hobby and those things aren't going to be as crucial.Shakey | |
| Emotiva XPA-200 review More often than not it is too little power that damages speakers, not the opposite.Shakey | |
| Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways an HBO documentary I just bought the vinyl slab of Sonic Highways yesterday. I am very impressed with the music and the quality of the recording. And the vinyl is very quiet too. Highly recommended!Shakey | |
| Revel F208s, F52s or Nola Contenders? I have owned the Silverline Sonata IIs and they were very boxy and colored.Shakey | |
| Remoding Speakers Has An Effect On Resale Value Duly noted. But you do NOT have a Tanto anymore. What you have is a completely different speaker system in the same box.Just as long as you know.......Shakey | |
| Floorstanders for $3500 I had the Super Eclipse IIs a few years ago. It literally went this way:Received and set them up on a Tuesday.Listed them for sale on a Wednesday.Sold them on a Thursday.Couldn't have been happier that was over.....Shakey | |
| Remoding Speakers Has An Effect On Resale Value Common sense will tell you that if you replace the drivers and add outboard crossovers to a speaker designed with NO crossover, what you will end up with is not even in the neighborhood of the original design. If one is prepared (and inclined) to ... | |
| Floorstanders for $3500 Well now that we know the size of your room, amplification, musical preferences, I stick by my Grand Veena recommendation.Shakey | |
| Floorstanders for $3500 If you can stretch your budget just a bit, consider the used pair of Reference 3A Grand Veenas here on Audiogon. Absoultely wonderful speakers that do justice to any type of music.Shakey | |
| Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room If Michael Fremer can squeeze Wilsons in a small room, you probably can too.Shakey | |
| Your Dream/Team Rock Band Bands like these (Supergroups they are called) never work. Egos always get in the way.Shakey | |
| K&K Pre amplifier So you don't consider the ARC Reference 3 a "really good tube pre"?The CJ Premier 17LS, the Lamm LL2, and the Art Audio VPS are what I consider good tube preamps. Oh, and I also had the Cary SLP-98. None of them were as good as a transformer/autof... | |
| K&K Pre amplifier I too am a K&K phono stage owner and fan of Kevin's work.However, I think you might be disappointed with most any active preamp after living with a TVC. I have tried many, including ARC, Audible Illusions, Art Audio, CJ, deHavilland, Lamm, etc... | |
| Zesto vs K & K phono stages John,I bought my K&K phono stage in 2003. In 2005 I sent it back to Kevin for the Cardas cap upgrade. A couple of weeks ago I sent it back for the full maxed out upgrade to bring it to current specs. I should have it back this week and am look... | |
| Zesto vs K & K phono stages The K&K might not win any audio jewelry competitions, but I assure you this is a serious phono preamp. As you probably already know, the circuit design is the same as the Art Audio Vinyl Reference. I have owned one since 2003 and have loved ev... |
