| I just returned my second defective Manley Chinook John,This is the first I have heard of the Trio, but coming from a Maxxed Out owner, I bet it is very good. I have been a fan of Kevin's work for almost 15 years. I didn't see any mention of what a completed kit would cost. Shakey | |
| Vandersteen 5A to Carbons?? I have no feelings one way or the other. I know the newer Vandersteens are head and shoulders above the older models, which are the only ones I have heard. Model 1 through 3A have never impressed me. The Model 5 was pretty good when I heard it at ... | |
| Pro-ject Xtension 10 vs. VPI Prime vs. Amadeus The Amadeus will be hard to beat. I had a Nott Spacedeck prior to mine and the Amadeus made it sound broken.Shakey | |
| Bad news for audiophiles? Price sometimes dictates value and performance. But not always. I have owned preamps retailing for upwards of 8K and none of them have sounded as good as the passive LDR that I paid 900.00 for. I would gladly replace it if something could beat it.... | |
| Vandersteen 5A to Carbons?? And so it goes.....right over your head.Never mind, I see there is no way for you to get it.Now back to our regularly scheduled love fest......Shakey | |
| Vandersteen 5A to Carbons?? Restrained about what? It was a poorly worded ad and he explained. I thank him for doing so, but it was very misleading. AC should probably put someone else in charge of placing Agon ads.Shakey | |
| Vandersteen 5A to Carbons?? Ad by Audio Connection for a pair of used Metaphor 2 loudspeakers. The description was in the ad copy. I guess they think these are better than the 2ci, Quattro, Treo, etc...Just seems funny to me.Shakey | |
| New speaker technology vs. Old speaker tech??? Looks like Hifisoundguy is off the Bose bandwagon and on to something different. I guess progress is indeed being made......Shakey | |
| Vandersteen 5A to Carbons?? What's interesting is that the premier Vandersteen dealer would say this about a pair of speakers someone traded in: "still have not heard a speaker set valued up to $10K that I like better! Terrific Detail, focus, Sound stage, etc."I guess you sa... | |
| Magico S1 - Dynamics and Amplifier Suggestions Big multi- driver speaker vs. smaller two way speaker. Sounds about right to me.Shakey | |
| MHDT Paradesea Repair? New Tube? "I am really questioning what he told you. Just because a tube is lighting up doesn't mean it isn't introducing noise."I agree with this. A tube is NOT like an incandescent light bulb. Bad output tubes will continue to glow. That tells you nothing... | |
| Well Tempered V's VPI Super Scout Master Sign Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought the OP was referring to the belt, not the fishing line that suspends the arm. If he is indeed talking about the arm, then I agree with you. That should not be a concern.Shakey | |
| MHDT Paradesea Repair? New Tube? Why would you sweat a 75.00 tube? Even if it's not the problem, if you keep the DAC you will eventually need to replace it.BTW, have owned the Havana for ~3.5 yrs. and have replaced the tube once already. It is an excellent sounding DAC.Shakey | |
| Help - new house - new setup? "I know you don't want to debate your answers, but I think you meant vertical biamp and not biwire."He never wants to debate what he writes. Nothing new here.Shakey | |
| Why so many Plinius for sale lately Surely we need more 14 yr old threads revived. Bravo!Shakey |
