| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Very interesting discussion. In the past month, my first experience integrating a sub-woofer into my system had some unexpected results. My Edgar Seismic Sub arrived about a month ago, before the Edgarhorn speakers. The Seismic is a 6' tall folded... | |
| Vancouver Festival? Just checked out the web site -looks promising. I'm down in Seattle, and one day would be worth a trip. | |
| Upgrading my SET amplifiers? You should check the SET asylum. Plenty of information there! | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers Re: digital sound. In my experience, a good DAC can do wonders for transforming edgy, flat digital sound towards a more layered, musical, liquid analog-like experience. Like Lush, I use a modified Museatex Data II. It's the real deal. The improvem... | |
| Sony DVP-S9000ES redbook playback I have this unit, in my system the past two years. Agree with comments above, although my experience with SACD is limited. Redbook is detailed, extended, but very hifi sounding and a flat, two-dimensional sound stage. Zero depth. But I like my 900... | |
| Getting SET Are there any other SET users out there willing to share some experience? Come on, SET users represent such a small niche within a niche of high-end audio, I hoped that more SET people would want to help a newbie along. Thanks in advance. | |
| Getting SET Pboutin, thank you for sharing yoru experience with Sun. I read that transformers may have as large an influence on final sound quality of SET as the tubes used in the circuit. Also read that Tamura is a well regarded manufacturer. | |
| Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat Jtinn - The subject refers to modified Bitstream and Bidat, not stock. I own one (Bitstream) and have listened to both. They are very, very close, after mods. In a phone call last week, John told me he prefers listening to his modified Bitstream m... | |
| Blues/Jazz Clubs in Chicago You have some good suggestions here, but I am surprised that no one mentioned Rosa's Lounge. It is unlike the others listed, not as upscale, very local, very "authentic", out of the Loop, located on the West side. The neighborhood is not frequente... | |

| difference between Counterpoint SA3, SA5, SA6 The Altavista Audio (AVA) link is a great resource. AVA is owned by the former President and chief designer of Counterpoint, Michael Elliott. Thanks Stevemcx. Yes, the SA-3 and SA-5 are full function preamps, including phono stages. But the SA-6 i... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Museatex Melior Bitstream DAC (modified) / Sony DVP-S9000ES transport. Very analog sounding, but no, it is not a substitute for the real thing. | |
| A new phono stage Tbg, I just finished reading the long discussion thread re: H-Cat. Very interesting... The product has strong proponents, but the managment and support seem tenuous. I look forward to reading feedback from some of the new owners, like Baranyi!Than... | |
| Acarian - Alon IV vs. Alon V mkII Chip,I was an early Alon customer, purchasing a pair of Alon IIs in 1993, prior to any of the reviews. I chose the IIs over the IV because they were a better fit in my smaller listening room. The IV is a little larger, and plays a little deeper. M... | |
| A new phono stage Well, the EAR 834P sale fell through (buyer withdrew the offer to sell). So I am back where I started. |
