| Tubes to solid state for amplifier path... I have to laugh everytime I read about SOOOO much heat from tube equipment. I don't presently own any tube gear, but I've been an audiophile for 50 years, which is to say that I grew up with tube gear. So many audiophiles today act like they are i... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame Let's not forget John Dunlavy of Duntech and Dunlavy Audio fame. His speaker designs can still hold thie own with the best of them. RIP John. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I have owned Duntech Sovereigns since 1987 and I intend to be buried in them (the enclosures are certainly big enough). About a year ago I had to replace all four woofers as the surrounds went bad. They now sound better than ever. A great speaker ... | |
| audio research sells out good or bad ? Tiger,you are way off base. Jaybo, you and Weiserb are right on target. I have been an audiophile for 50 years. Have spent far too much money over the years. I left McIntosh in the early 60's. Tried just about all the top amps (Audio Research, Spe... | |
| Any Comparisons between VTL 7.5 & ARC Ref 3 Davemitchell: I'm a little late about commenting on your post of 06-09-07 regarding the VTL and ARC preamps, but here goes. You say it's especially ironic that the preamp you feel doesn't measure up comes from the company with the longest history ... | |
| region 1 or pal, better picture? I would like to correct Elizabeth about the different systems for TV. She stated that Japan uses SECAM, not true. Japan has the NTSC system just like the USA and Canada. Sorry Elizabeth. I really like your comments on Audigon, but in this case, yo... | |
| Siemens Halske versus Siemens Rohre Joe: Not sure that I made myself clear on my earlier reply. If the box says Siemens Halske Rohre, it's not another brand. The word Rohre means tube. It could be a Mullard Rohre (Tube) or Amperex Rohre (Tube). Good luck in your pursuit of the right... | |
| Siemens Halske versus Siemens Rohre Gammajo, the word Rohre is German and it means vacuum tube or just plain tube. | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? Nrchy: AMEN BROTHER. I owned a Krell FPB 200 for about 4 and half years. Yes it had tremendous bass sock, but I always found it to be a bit hard sounding. Not awful, but it was there. I finally got back on the upgrade bandwagon again as audiophile... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx IMHO go with the MC-402. I currently own one. I am driving a pair of Duntech Sovereigns that I have owned for 20 years. I still think it can compete with speakers that cost many times more. I have driven the Duntech's with a Krell FBP 200, which t... | |
| Wadia 581i using as a pre any good Why don't you see if you can audition a North American Products P12R H-Cat preamp and you will see what realism is all about. Check their website at www.H-Cat.com. Believe me friend, it is unbelievably real sounding. You have been dropping big buc... | |
| Placette Before you buy anything, you should contact North American Products about their H-Cat Holographic preamp. Go to www.H-Cat.com and you can get a list of dealers. I previously owned a Placette passive preamp. Not bad for the money, but IMHO, the H-C... | |
| Audio Research vt-100 mk111 vs McIntish 402 The McIntosh MC-402 is a wonderful sounding amp. I use them driving a pair of Duntech Sovereign speakers and the sound is fantastic. Maybe you can get a dealer loan to try them. | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? You should go to www.H-Cat.com, website of North American Products and check out the P12R preamp. You should really try to audition this preamp before you drop big bucks on another preamp. How does it sound? Like the Real Thing. MUSIC. Doesn't cos... | |
| Pass Labs vs. McIntosh Preamps I am using a North American Products P12R H-Cat Preamp with a McIntosh MC 402 poweramp and it is a marriage made in heaven. I use this combo driving the Duntech Sovereign speakers (the Sovereigns are essentially the same as the Dunlavy SC-5's, but... |
