| CEC TL-1X upgrades. Any feedback? Pctower, I am running through an Audio Note 3.1x. Extremely musical. With other transports, such as Linn cd-12 the presentation added detail and delineation, but lacked the massive soundstage and body. My feelings are that all components offer up ... | |
| Better than FIM Gold? Hi,I have used Siltech Gold, NBS Monitor, Purist Audio Dominus and Proteus, Kharma Grand and have found none of these to offer the open, detailed, yet musical presentation of the FIM's. I find the inflexiblity tolerable, though cumbersome. At the ... | |

| Why no threads on OTL amps? A little surprised not to have noticed Atma-Spheres on this thread. Compared to the other amps I have owned, tube or solid-state, the MA-2's have outperformed all in nearly every category. Bottom slam, midrange transparency, and extension up top..... | |
| Best Kept Speaker Secret? A company from Belgium, specializing in cello manufacturing has designed a series of speakers called EHS. These comparitively diminutive floor-standing speakers reportedly use no crossovers, but utilize the fabric cover, which is non-removable exc... | |
| The most important piece in a stereo system??? A system by definition, requires careful and often numerous component change-outs to offer the best of the individual parts. That being said, I find the speaker the most visible of flaws. Maybe, that's due to it's revealings of up-stream anomolies... | |
| Best Amp for Eidolon As with most "best of" threads, the variables of ancillary components, room, musical tastes, etc. need be noted. With that it mind, my bias is towards tube amplification. I have heard the Eidelons driven by solid state in an audio shop with less t... | |
| Burmester 911 Mk2 amp vs. other for Avalon Eidolon You may want to consider a powerful and musical tube amp, such as the CAT JL1 or Atma-sphere MA-1 or MA-2. These all have the balls to play great music with excellent bass. The mids and highs are breathtaking with Eidelons. | |
| Best Shipper for Large Packages I have also had great success witht Team Air. Several shipments with not one bad experience. | |
| what speakers do the best "disappearing act"?? Aerial 7B's and 6's disappeared nicely as have Proac 1.5's. Excellent smaller floorstanders. My favorite is the Eidelon, especially considering the size difference. Iterations from above; placement, associated electronics and cabling may dictate y... | |
| Has anybody listened to Jenna modified Atma Sphere's? I believe Jenna offers a complete change in front-end, as well as wiring. The change may include conversion to mini-tubes in replacement of 6SN7s. I am also quite curious to learn of the sonic changes. I have a pair of MA2-Mk2s. I spoke to Jennife... | |

| Why Can We plug our AMPS directly into wall w/o Worrying? You may want to try Sound Application's CFX. I have recently inserted one into my system with great reticence, mind you. I also had concerns of limitations brought about by "conditioning", but this unit,still in break-in period (reported to need w... | |
| Tube amp for a somewhat difficult load Amps of power do exist, but they are VERY expensive. CAT amps, at about 100 watts pure class A( most unbelievable 100 watts I've heard); Atma-sphere has 2 models, MA1 and MA2, rated at 160 and 220 respactively. ARC has very powerful tube offerings... |
