| Magico - a new Mini? BTW,my previous post was more a testament to my own personal affection for the MINI's,rather than any negatives for my view of the newer models,which I am sure superb.....just not as nice on the eyes,imo -:) | |
| Magico - a new Mini? I must say that from my listening experiences and subsequent aid in setting up a past friend's Mini's,the lower registers were absolutely "amazing"(and this from a sealed box)!This, in a room of about 12.5x21 or so feet....I assume the partnering ... | |
| How's the Synergy between Lamm1.2ref and AR REF5 No reason this should not be a superb match.Btw,Kur tank.....Those pricey tubes you and your pal splurged on,where actually a "supeb" investment in sound! I did a little tube survey a few years ago,in my phono stage(of then)and the Amperex CCa's r... | |
| ESS and Heil air-motion tranformer - any thoughts? I've always wondered why the AMT design did not get more attention over the years,with more designs showing them.Maybe a legal thing? I owned the AMT Rock Monitors back in the early seventies.Sheesh,could these rock out,and with detail to spare.Th... | |
| Looking for a best TT without arm for under 10K. The very latest Oracle is a superb table as well.It seems to have it all,in that the design is quite complete.A superb suspension,clamping system,and it has been refined over many years. Many choices here for sure. Good luck | |
| Magico - a new Mini? Well,I think we are in a time where many folks are beginning to appreciate those products(not only in audio)that appear to stand the test of time(think Leica Rangefinder cameras etc). Personally,I love seeing the audio systems of savvy hobbyists,i... | |
| Magico - a new Mini? I gotta say that to my way of viewing things there could never be a "new" Mini....That speaker was a classic,in the best sense. I realize this is only one man's opinion,but aside from down right superb performance,it had a lovely aesthetic to it a... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Visions in the house OK,who knows?...Still,knowing the Avalon lineup pretty well,it would still be a BIG surprise,but nothing wrong with saving some cashola if it is true -:) | |
| Avalon Eidolon Visions in the house No disrespect,but no way the lower models are better than the Eidolon Vision....Pleeeeease! Btw,a nice upgrade is to remove the protective grill(leaving the damping material in place)around the drivers.I guarantee you will find more resolution and... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Visions in the house Congratulations on your fine speakers.....I had the original Avalon floor standers(the Ascent-MK-II)for many years.It held up to virtually everything I'd heard,and only sold it to move onto playing a musical instrument,which takes up all of my spa... | |
| Your favourite cartridge I personally love the design benefits and sound of the Transfiguration line up.I've owned two versions of the Temper and also had the Orpheus. The orpheus was my favorite,if I had to pick one cartridge....but... I've owned many other superb design... | |
| A major disconnect between the audiophile magazine Phaelon,I hope you are accurate in your assessment of newer technology.I really do! I'm sceptical though,as many new designs are there because they cost less to mfgr,and in many instances they take up less space. Take class D amps as an example.Go... | |
| A major disconnect between the audiophile magazine GOD BLESS YOU! After 40 years in the "hobby",it was the current industry that pushed me out....I had a superb,very costly system,but built up over the years. In any event,the diminishing quality of reliable service,update costs,re-packaging of unr... | |
| Infinity RS 1b the one with 4 Towers - Recommend? Hi Rick...Glad you are well! I'm out of the hobby,after 40 years of it all.I'm currently back to my first love.Seriously studying music theory and playing acoustic guitar again. Very rewarding The crossover box for the RS-1's is needed,but the des... | |
| Infinity RS 1b the one with 4 Towers - Recommend? Still great speakers,if well preserved.Sid Marks of TAS fame(he wrote the Mercury and RCA LP column for years)still has this speaker as his main set up.I've heard them at his place,like a zillion times. I had them years ago,and wonder why I got ri... |
