| which would you replace first? Today,unlike years ago,it is very hard to actually audition multiple arm/cartridge combos.Especially in a meaningful way(where the listener can become familiar with the sonic traits).Shows cannot really help,but a good friends group is invaluable.... | |
| Help,Allaerts or Transfiguration Goldeneraguy,funny you mention your friend's father,who collects antique radios.In my audio/music room I have a beautiful(very well made)RCA reproduction of their 1932 model Cathedral Table Radio(of course I did some modification to the inner cabi... | |
| Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis? For those hobbyists stating they feel the Isis is better sounding than something like the Eidolon Diamonds....what specifically are you referring to? Are you referring to greater dynamics(room volume specifically influences which speaker would per... | |
| single versus multiple driver? I don't know what number of drivers is best,but I can say that I had made it my business to hear the HUGE multi driver BIG Nola Exotica Grand system,driven by the ASR Emitter amps,not too long ago.In a dedicated,and very well set up room.SOTA room... | |
| Help,Allaerts or Transfiguration Folks,I will probably not get my Phantom soon,as they are on back order.I had hoped this would not be long,but cannot do anything but wait it out.Sorry. Also,I cannot see myself giving any meaningful input,about the arm,or my Orpheus,as these prod... | |
| Help,Allaerts or Transfiguration Larry,"laziness" will soon become my moto,as I have done just about everything I can possibly think of to my existing system.Other than installing my Phantom I "HOPE" nothing else intrigues me.See...rationalizing can be a good thing. Best. | |
| Help,Allaerts or Transfiguration Larry,don't start to check out different NOS tubes in your phono section!!!It could lead to bankruptcy,and rather quickly! I have tried 7 different tube families in my stage.Wound up going for my "lungs" with a hyper low noise set of Siemens 6922 ... | |
| Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis? Branimir,firstly I happen to own,and love my own Avalon speakers. That being said,please educate me as to what would be wrong with a wide baffle speaker,like the TAD(which isn't all that wide)in the appropriate room. The HE2007 demo happened to be... | |
| Help,Allaerts or Transfiguration ...."My Titan is too new to justify replacing it"... Larry,I hope you did not get the impression that I was implying you "do" this(or anyone,for that matter)!!! My observations about the Orpheus only applies to my personal experience,in "my" syste... | |
| Help,Allaerts or Transfiguration Larry,I never felt you were slamming the Temper.Of course you are entitled to any opinion you want to express.My opineing in an aggressive/antagonistic way was from long ago,in my "idiot era"!!I cannot believe some of the dumb posts I made!Some 'G... | |
| Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis? I think the TAD Ref-1 is a nice alternative.Same price range too.It has the distinct advantage of a dual concentric midrange/tweeter,and constructed with berrylium.Stunning clarity and exceptionally coherent.Also,it employs two "ten inch" bass dri... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? Jkalman,yes you are right.I forgot the BAT room.Sorry! That room seemed a bit dark sounding to me,but that is just personal taste.I moved around the LAMM/WP demo room alot.I LOVED the Ella/Louis sound(actually "music")that the little LAMM 2.1's co... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? The Mini at my pal's home does not sound bright at all.We were very careful about set up.It really sounds wonderful,and at HE 2007 I liked it alot.My friend is getting better performance than the show demo,actually. Also,remember the Wilson WP-8 a... | |
| My slow descent into retro MC madness... I totally respect your approach,and believe you will have a wonderful alternative to the mainstream stuff we enthusists have become accustomed to seeing,too regularly! I have heard alot of set-ups different from my own modded,and very satisfying s... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? My only point,as I really like the Minis,was hobbyists are looking at an economy car "per channel"!This is TOO much,for a stand mounted two way design.I don't care about excuses/costs,and know it is very well made.It is over priced at thirty grand... |
