| $100,000 line stage Do you really think the reviewer bought the review unit at 50% off retail? Mark-ups on some of these uber priced gear can be unbelievable. When I was importing Kondo gear (Audio Note Japan) and selling Ongaku amps they had a retail of $89,000. I s... | |
| Price No Object Amps I owned 2 Ongaku's, from the original Kondo-san days. Very colored amp IMHO. Sold both and have never looked back. | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design ozzy that's the only way we have ever ordered any Atmasphere gear, with both the V-cap and Power Boost upgrade. As for will it work well with the speakers you describe? Ralph would be the best to answer that.(Dealer disclaimer) | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design In a word......musical! I owned these then went to the Novacrons. What an OTL will bring to the table is clarity and a presentation that just says "that's right"! Enjoy and please report back your thoughts.(Dealer disclaimer) | |
| Berkeley vs Bryston vs Lampizator So I bought the Big 6 b/c I was told it was Lukasz's favorite dac, he thought it was the most neutral and natural sounding dac for redbook CD's out of any of his dacs. There was really nothing wrong with it that is until I had a listen to the Bric... | |
| Berkeley vs Bryston vs Lampizator I also had a Lampizator Big 6 then heard the Bricasti M1, sold the Lampi and never looked back. (Dealer disclaimer) | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo Sorry for the late response just been very busy! Yes the Zero's with the Atmasphere and Crescendo combo worked better than just the Atmasphere M60's alone. You are correct that OTL's like a flat high impedance load and I set the Zero's so the Atma... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo grannyring, the M60 did a very nice job for all but Rock n Roll 98 dB blasting music. I listen to 90% jazz and had no problem. Yes the Veritas drives them without breaking a sweat but can lack some of the liveleness of the M60's. | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo I use several with good results. An Atmasphere M60 or Novacron (both with Zero auto-transformers) or a Merrill Audio Veritas. The Merrill gives you all the headroom you would ever need.I am selling the Crescendo's now because I've lost 3 sales dir... | |
| Sain line system cables a hidden giant killer. Fork with all due respect Nanotec cables are very good but not giant killers! I import them as well and have sold many of them but also sell other cables that are vastly superior IMO. (and I will not name them here it's the wrong forum). Chrissain... | |
| Genuine Kondo??? We used to sell Kondo and the KSL-DAC used to sell NEW for around $12,500 USD. Yes it had a retail of 30K but the mark-up was so high we could sell them at less than 50% off list. | |
| Acoustic zen adagio jr for Rock music? I'm an AZ dealer and I'd tell you look elsewhere. Sorry no further explanation. | |
| Wall Receptacle Oyaide R0, Furutech GTX-G and SR Black UEF Rippet I have had several of the Oyaide duplex and then tried the Furutech GTX-D and most recently the new Furutech NCF duplex outlets. The Furutech's have been cleaner and more musical than the Oyaide IMO.(Dealer disclaimer) | |
| Best DAC for over 2000 I can't tell you all the different DACs I've owned/tried but once I heard the Bricasti my quest ended. (Dealer disclaimer) | |
| Brinkmann Balance vs Basis 2800 The Basis is the better table and well worth the extra cost. Also Basis has the better support with out a doubt. I had no support from Brinkmann will never own one again. |
