| Allison One speakers I agree with Zaikesman. I owned Allison Ones 1976-1991 and studpidly, idiotically literally threw them away when I bought Wilson Watt Puppies, at the same time I threw away my LPs. Double Dumb. I didn't throw away my Allison Three's however and th... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA2 Mk2.3 / Krell KSA 250 / Passlabs? For what it's worth, Ralph saved me over $5,000 by pointing out that the MP-1 and MA-2 are so well matched that he defied me to tell the difference between $100 Mogami Neglex i/cs and my very expensive Purist Dominus i/cs. I tried them and he was ... | |
| Most musical integrated amp you have heard? Jadis DA 88 Signature. Hands down. | |
| Morrow vs. PNF speaker cable I have used the cheaper Morrow cable (SP2), PNF, Bogdan Goldy and MAS Hybrids. I found all great bargains. For further information, e-mail me, as I feel it a conflict of interest to post more publicly, since I have a pair of cables for sale. | |
| Hi, does anybody own the new tyler acoustics D10's Mine were delivered today personally to Connecticut by Ty -who could ask for better service? - and they sound great right out of the box. 5 hours on them only, but they already sound extraordinary: great ballance, huge bass, imaging and soundstagi... | |
| Redbook CDP under $1,000 used No, I did not get a chance to audition the Sony. | |
| MAS power cords Mas makes a great product and are still in business although their website is down. I recently bought some speaker cables from Stu. e-mail is audioparts@comcast.net.About $200 for a six foot pair. | |
| Marantz SA-11 S1 vs Sony XA-5400es I bought the Marantz SA11S1 and it is spectacular!!! What a bargain at $1250! Musical, resolving and a beautiful liquid midrange. Makes me look askance at my over $10K other player! | |
| Redbook CDP under $1,000 used Thanks for all your help. I bought the Marantz SA11S1 - I defy anyone to find a better player for $1200 (used). It is spectacular! Particularly on SACD, but no slouch on redbook. I may trade down my other expensive CDPs! | |
| Sumptuous, lush, rich, liquid golden midrange amp? Thank you all for your great input. I'm going with the Thor. If they work, I owe you, Blindjim:) | |
| Sumptuous, lush, rich, liquid golden midrange amp? What about the Conrad-Johnson Premier 140? On sale on A'gon. Or the C-J Premier 12? Would appreciate hearing from users of either of these. | |
| Sumptuous, lush, rich, liquid golden midrange amp? Blindjim, You have certainly elicioted my interest in the Thor. I have reservations about its ability to fill an L shaped very large room and the fact that I would be the 4th owner. Furthermore, I am not sure what is meant by the inability to read... | |
| Sumptuous, lush, rich, liquid golden midrange amp? Ralph, The amps that I alternate between in the system alluded to, are a TAD 1000 (with EL 34s), which I operate in triode mode and a Dennis Had designed Cary/AES Six pac A/AB, push-pull (also EL 34s). I guess the question is, how much improvement... | |
| Sumptuous, lush, rich, liquid golden midrange amp? Thanks for all responses. I just should have kept my Jadis Int amp - stupidest thing I ever did was sell it. There is a Thor PA 30 on A'gon right now - not sure if it's enough power - I have a big room and I would be the fourth owner......... | |
| Sumptuous, lush, rich, liquid golden midrange amp? That is a brilliant suggestion! never thought of Thor. Wonder how different the MkI is from the Mk II, which is reviewed. You would like more watts because you have low sensitivity speakers, Blindjim? Paul Marks recommends at least 89 db. |
