| Cary Audio v12r OR Quicksilver Audio M60? I agree with RHljazz. I owned a VTL ST-150 and pentode was far superior to Triode. As for the Cary vs. the Quicky, I think it would be more of a lateral move than anything.Shakey | |
| Legacy Audio "V" Statement/Flagship Speaker... Leave it to ebm to infuse a post about magico in a non-magico thread. Bravo, ebm, well done!Shakey | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... When I received my Pendragons from Eric there was a small issue with the finish on one of the speakers. He offered to exchange them or a partial refund. I opted to do the work myself and buffed out the speaker with rubbing compound and wax. Issue ... | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... I agree with Roxy. Very few manufacturers go to the trouble of installing magnets behind the baffle, then make the grilles optional.As is the case with the Pendragons, the grilles are an option you request when ordering the speakers. As for the co... | |
| Let's play the "what if" game I'm not trying to be mean spirited. It's just that I have heard systems in rooms similar to yours with an open floor plan and opening behind the speakers and the sound is not so great. A solid wall would be much better. Just sayin.....Shakey | |
| Let's play the "what if" game My suggestion would be to find a better room to put the system in. | |
| Tidal Agoria vs The Keggs "And if you asked me.....would I sell the Keggs 45 rpm for $100,000.00. No. For a million dollars? Again, No."Good for you. However, I would have to witness this in the flesh to believe it.......Shakey | |
| If she isn't into the gear, is she into the music? "Ok, can you turn it off now? My show is on." You rememdy that by not ever allowing a TV in your listening room. I am a problem solver........Shakey | |
| Change with upgrade of Reference 3a speakers? Not sure if this helps. But I had an older pair of Grand Veenas (~2008-2009?) and recently purchased a pair of GV from ~2012 with the Sureal Acoustic lens on the drivers. These were supposedly the final version before they dropped the Murata ST an... | |
| Who believes that Robert Plant I liked Ian Gillan better. David Coverdale and Plant are dead even for me.Shakey | |
| Wilco Fans / Solo Tweedy We just saw Tweedy last weekend at the Rhythm & Roots festival in Bristol. I think his was the best performance of the weekend. Absolutely stunning!Shakey | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? That's what I thought. So how does an LDR have more gain than a TVC?Shakey | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? "Only downside apart from its very basic nature is that my system has a lot of gain so I dont get far off the bottom of the volume control travel at normal levels."I have a question regarding this statement. How can the gain in the Slagleformers b... | |
| Tom Petty "Hypnotic Eye" I can't speak to the vinyl release, but if you have the seedee version and you don't like the quality of the recording, you should question your playback gear. This one is pretty darn good.Shakey | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm I briefly owned the Pendragons. They were very good speakers, especially for the $$. I wouldn't call them giant killers, but they did some things very well, and were always easy to listen to.Shakey |
