| Avalon Eidolon Diamond-Worth it? Please don't misinterpret my comments(just opinion).If you feel the "Diamond" is what you "want/like" then I am sure you will be very happy! Good luck | |
| Next upgrade, DartZeel or Ayre One "important" thing to consider is service availability,and communications with mfgr,should you ever have a problem.As well as ease of "updates".A local mfgr,assuming products are in same class,is a good way to go! I've not heard the Ayre,but di... | |
| HELP Classically ignorant, need vinyl insight I would HIGHLY recommend the "now re-issued again" EMI boxed set of Ravel's Orchestral music!! Cluytens was one of "the" Ravel interpreters,and it is a GORGEOUS multi disc album!!Amazingly good sounding,and though it ain't cheap,it will light any ... | |
| What's a good cartridge for infinity black widow? I really have to admit that the "Widow" was THE arm that got my juices flowing(and my money)about analog "coolness". Before "that" everything was the latest DUAL table.Not that I was not happy. Btw,on the gorgeous KD-500 it looked SO high tech. I ... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond-Worth it? I am an Avalon lover,and owner.Yet,once Avalon switched their philosophy from "sealed" enclosures to a ported design,I became very suspicious! Yes,I know it was under new ownership,but c'mon,the attitudes,especially those expressed in the "superla... | |
| B&W 800d's or MAGICO V3's? Golden,I was thinking more along the lines of "town house"!...Detached... Btw,funny,as my Magico friend has quite old neighbors,who simply cannot hear his rig,at night.Lucky guy!Believe me,the Mini does virtually anything a sane 'phile could possi... | |
| What's a good cartridge for infinity black widow? One "Widow" mod my dealer did for me was to place some "Mortite" around the exact center of the arm's tube.I knew nothing(like today)at the time,and thought the arm may have been imperfect,but it sure sounded good! Best. | |
| B&W 800d's or MAGICO V3's? Goldenerguy....I recently inquired about the TAD monitor.Mostly because I like the mid/high aspects of "their" coaxial midrange-tweeter,and understand "it" will be employed in the Monitor.I must assume they know what they are doing,and have read v... | |
| Stereophile claims about Magico IMO,the "thing" I get from a review is whether I want to persue giving myself some exposure to said product.That's it!Nothing more. I will make an attempt to hear something,if it falls into my own take on how I want to do things.Sometimes this wor... | |
| What's a good cartridge for infinity black widow? I once owned THAT exact combo, in my Dahlquist days,and really enjoyed it.Go for the Blue Point,as the "Widow" likes that kind of cartridge. Best of luck | |
| Transfiguration Orpheus, what step-up Hmm!Before my reliability issues kicked in(something shortly to go away)I went from the Temper-V(which I loved)to an Orpheus.... The Orpheus "clearly" outperformed it,in almost any category one can choose,out of the box! I believe you might do wel... | |
| B&W 800d's or MAGICO V3's? "To say that it is alot better is simply irresponsible" Dhann,give me a break!!!... You seem to only read the stuff you don't like,and comment on "that" part! I SPECIFICALLY said,on a few occassions that this was "only" MY taste....it STILL is,and... | |
| Stereophile claims about Magico Wireless,my comments were merely expressing an interest in a fine looking design,in the KEF.From a fan point of view,not as someone running out to spend money. I certainly like the coaxial mid/tweet,and well matched woofer employed.Not cheap,but t... | |
| B&W 800d's or MAGICO V3's? Koegz,so are the fabulous NOVA Utopias! -:)I've heard them loads of times,and love them. | |
| B&W 800d's or MAGICO V3's? Dhann,first off I don't know where you got "any" impression of my "not" hearing the V3 set up correctly!...A false accusation,or asumption.They were set up quite well,and personally I liked the sound. Also,I DO like the V3! "Ugly Betty" and all!..... |
