ZYX Airy2-X-SB on Graham 2.2
Sbrown,please, I did not mean to be condescending in any way.I'm trying to be helpful to you.I really think the GRAHAM is one INCREDIBLE product,but,like a really good Rangefinder camera or a finely tuned performance car,it needs to be fully explo... 
Krell MDA 500 vs KAS vs KAS 2 vs 750Mcx vs 450Mcx
I once owned the MD-3oo's.Fine sound,but too hot running.I did hear the KAS -1 running the mid tweeter panels of an Infinity IRS-2 set-up a while ago,and that system changed the way I listened to music "in the home environment".I had brought along... 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
Also,I'll bet you have not been a reviewer too long.Am I also correct in assuming you do not review for TAS or Stereophile?You don't seem to be as in love with yourself as some(a few guys from that crowd are quite decent fellows,a FEW).Would you b... 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
It would be OH,SO easy to slip an FR-1 Merc.or S-1 Shaded dog under my shirt.If you have the music collection to match your set-up(you'd better,if you're the "real deal").By the time you had noticed I'd be back in the WEB,from which I sprang.How d... 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
Fmpnd,now, why the Hell did you have to go and "BE SO DAMN NICE".I may have to take you up on your offer some day.Of course,because you seem to be such a truly sincere and decent gent I would not be able to abrubtly criticize your set-up,in your p... 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
Fmpnd,I'm reserving a ticket,as we speak.On a personal level,I have a dear friend who is a former reviewer,and is NOT a "low life form".He is a great guy.Although you were probably kidding,please don't misunderstand any of my comments.That being s... 
ZYX Airy2-X-SB on Graham 2.2
Sbrown,the older fluid is inferior.Adding fluid beyond a certain point,whether blue(SUPERIOR)or clear justs dumbs down,overdamps,the sound.Try VERY small changes in your current fluid level.Pinheads at a time!It took me almost a year to realize th... 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
Rgs92,very astute points,and well received.As a matter of fact there may, or may not, be a marketing ploy at work biasing some to only use tubes.I have heard GREAT set-ups with both topologies.As for the Kharma stuff,I have a dear friend with a Ce... 
ZYX Airy2-X-SB on Graham 2.2
My own 2 cents.Both Cello and Raul.Both you guys are fun to read and good spirited.Quite knowledgeable too.So get off this banter of defensiveness,as it does none of us any good.As for the Live music comparison,you simply can't compare it to what ... 
ZYX Airy2-X-SB on Graham 2.2
I have heard fabulous things about the AIRY line.As for the 2.2,when you experiment with damping in the arm's bearing you must re-adjust vta as well as tracking force(FOR EACH PARAMETER CHANGE).At that point if there is still a hardening/brightnes... 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
I would like to pose some questions to any 3.2 owners out there.Do any of you have any thoughts on amps like the Cary 805 or Canary 339 driving these babies?also any thoughts on something like a CAT preamp/with built in phonostage here?When I look... 
Koetsu Rosewood Sig. v Koetsu Rosewood SigPlat
I had both at one point.I must admit Raul is correct in his analysis,but,neither is perfectly neutral,meaning you get that KOETSU sound.That is NOT a bad thing! 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
By the way.I don't drink beer,but,do LOVE wine.Any thoughts on what varietal, as I listen INTO my(then)"mere 2-way" soundstage? 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
Thom y,your point is well taken! 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
Owl,I'm happy you get so much pleasure from your,apparent,wonderful set-up.No I have no association with Kharma.I'm just a REAL music lover,over equip. collector.I just happen to,also,think that the Kharma line is very overpriced,even with a weak ...
