| Dynavector XV-1s What is the REAL story? Raul,regarding the Titan-I,you still have to take the overall set-up,and room into consideration.The Titan that I have access to,is in the INCREDIBLE,and "fully" voiced system of my "great" pal Sid!The Univ was in a set-up that was still going thr... | |
| Verity Parsifals to Von schweikert VR4 Gen III ?? You must be bored!The Parsifals,regardless of vintage are one of the very finest speakers one can own.I've heard them on loads of occassions.Driven with every conceivable electronic combo.They were designed for the "real world" listening room,and ... | |
| WILL THE NEW 60,000 AVALON ISIS BE THE BEST YET? Getting back to thw ISIS,for a moment,as I just spoke to the folks at Avalon,it seems that the ISIS is a ported design.Though I'm sure it IS superb,the porting(regardless of mfgr claims)is NOT as accurate in the midbass and bass as a sealed enclos... | |
| Shelter 90X Tracking Force Hey Thom,the Durascale 100 looks to be a SUPERB product.With the modification you are going to do to it,it would be hard to beat.I love the fact that it has a thirty year warrantee!I like quality stuff. Could you elaborate as to when you will be s... | |
| Shelter 90X Tracking Force Thom,you simply cannot love the Phantom!!Think of what it would do to your fan base!!-:) Best! | |
| Are Avalon Ascents the Classics they seem to be? Dennis,I have tried different materials on top of my speakers,and have found the dispersion always sounded best with nothing on top.It's not the actual tweeter,itself,but the shape of the wavelaunch,due to the cabinet angles.I would love to try th... | |
| Shelter 90X Tracking Force Thom,as usual some great stuff.I'm becoming a real fan!BTW,you are quite knowledgable(must have come from "being at the feet of Frank Schroder" so much),but you would have a bit more credibility if you could post,"sometimes",without mentioning the... | |
| Vibraplane I don't see the advantage of an additional active,air suspension,if you have a high mass table on a concrete floor.Provided it has a superb stand.I could be wrong,but wouln't the solid stand/high mass table better be able to evacuate resonances? | |
| Are Avalon Ascents the Classics they seem to be? Cenline,thanks for the info,but as described I don't think I can go for the beaks.I like the dispersion of my tweeters,and don't want to affect it.As to a stand,I don't like the idea of increasing the height of my 175 lb Ascents,and am on concret ... | |
| Vibraplane Cello,in response to your question,it would seem that the Vibraplane would work best if the flooring was wood.Both my friends had a non suspended table(like yours)on a wooden floor.Hence,the Vibraplane was a clear improvement. I don't remember if ... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s What is the REAL story? Raul,I'm glad you have decided to give your superb cartridge/arm collection another "go round"!The business of tracking on the high side,to me,represents a potential mismatch somewhere.Not always,but I have found that there is more gained,by tryin... | |
| Are Avalon Ascents the Classics they seem to be? Cenline,as I have my Ascents on carpet,would the Beaks penetrate the fibres?I think it could pose a problem.Also,the German Cones coming with the original speakers are really quite good. Best! | |
| Vibraplane I had a Bright Star air mass under a table for a few years.It was a very nicely designed product,but you must be VERY careful to balance the table above it.The air bladder required a few pumps of air about every two weeks.It was a breeze to do.Dar... | |
| Are Avalon Ascents the Classics they seem to be? I have decided to leave well enough alone(I've put the kabbash on the super tweeter subject)!Truthfully,and having heard a load of the newer(all fine,btw)stuff,I am still ecstatic about the performance of the Ascents.Though I did purchase a Rel St... | |
| E.A.R. 834P Dan,I was not at the comparison,but was told about it,recently.I don't want to take anything away from the Aesthetix stuff,which has always sounded fine to me. BTW--Just got(Friday)my cute little stylus pressure guage,we see advertised on Audiogon... |
