| SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier An amp manufacturer completely under the radar, since they are all hand made by an 82 year old, is thishttp://www.powermodules.comNot competition for Coda, these are different, and only the SA100 is truly superb, small, nearly runs in class B, an... | |
| SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier Yeah, I have one. I've had mega$$$ dual chassis ss preamps here but the only thing they do better is enhanced, possibly over enhanced, dynamics. Great preamp that does everything exactly right and makes you realize by paying more, you are only pa... | |
| Retiring my Green Mountain Audio Continuum 3s for Stand Mount Speakers Well, I'm going to be hounded off the forum, but I'm starting a speaker company with two standmount 3-ways inspired by the Spendor 2/3 and the Sp100 (sort of). But they won't be ready for 3 months minimum.Speaker 1 will use a 8 inch ceramic woofe... | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano Don't want to repeat what others have said, but, for lifelike piano you have to take your equipment into context.To over simplify the whole thing, tubes are better for voices, ss for piano. With speakers, very stiff drivers will probably be better... | |

I have been building speakers for 30 years and am a former industry member, so...Most competently made speakers of a given size are go... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers I was just re reading this interesting thread and would like to point out that when someone specifies a driver size, say 6.5 inches, that is not the size of the cone which is producing the wavelength. Drivers are specified by the basket size. Sinc... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Just thought I'd share this infoNow my ART9 sounds much more dynamic on the SME 312s arm. I changed the cartridge loading from 100 to 1000. Once this cartridge is set up exactly right and broken in, I highly advise trying this.Sounds fantastic thr... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... I've had all sorts of cartridges over the years.The ART9 is as musically satisfying as any, and a champ at getting out of the way and just letting the music flow.What does this mean, really ?It doesn't highlight any particular part of the frequenc... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Yes I bought one too, about my 10th disc spinner in my life. It's an incredible value, the equal or better of 5k + SACD/CD players. And I've auditioned the Krell and the Cary. Break in takes forever.Now if only the matching Sony amplifier was as g... |
