| rear firing tweeters.... Some of the Revels use them; I am sure there are others. As I sit IN FRONT of my speakers I have never noticed a need for them! Just kidding. | |
| Asr basis exclusive or naim superline+hicap2 Mine is a 2006. Only thing is that power supply is HEAVY and the umbilical cord connecting the unit and PS looks like it came off a WW2 battleship. I suppose these things contribute to the sound quality; it is overbuilt to say the least. It looks ... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona M's - add a subwoofer ??? I was going to get the Cremona's but while looking for a pair got a deal on some GamuT L5s that I couldn't turn down. I use them with a pair of REL Stadium subs and they work very well; the Gamuts are similar in size and frequency response to the ... | |
| Asr basis exclusive or naim superline+hicap2 Just by chance I have a Naim Superline with Teddy Pardo Supercap and a Basis Exclusive. Both are GREAT; which is better depends on your system and taste. As it happens I am selling the Naim to my friend Tricon_dave as it is a great match for his W... | |
| Wilson Sophia III vs Sasha We listened to Tricon_dave's Sasha last week with my Naim Superline phono stage. That is a great combination ; speed and definition were amazing. | |
| Metrum Octave First Impressions I bought mine direct but there may now be an American importer; I have seen an ad by someone who was suppose to be the Canadian agent. There is a new model coming out; the Hex, which will be even better and have more features but cost 3x as much. | |
| Diversity of opinion over what As Bombaywalla says no component is ever heard in isolation; we are always listening to SYSTEMS. I am convinced that there is just about nothing that cannot be made to sound bad by incorrect choices elsewhere in the system. I bought my Apogee Duet... | |
| Most suitable tone arm for linn sondek LP12 No Syntax; there is no such thing as "knowledge" about which gear you prefer. Some like electrostatics, some horns, some cones: which are "wrong"? Some like tubes, some solid state; what "knowledge" should we use to determine who is "right"? Turnt... | |
| Outdoor opinions? I remember a feature story from the late AUDIO mag in the 60s about someone who had two large concrete horn speakers made for his back yard; weighed a couple of tons each if I recall correctly. No bass problems but I have always wondered what the ... | |
| Most suitable tone arm for linn sondek LP12 I was a Technics dealer in the days when the SP 10 was new; I never had one as it was thought to be very expensive in those days. I had an SP 15 with EPA 500 arm as a demo. I like belt drive better than direct but YMMV. I have had some large and h... | |
| What Do You Hear When Your Amp Needs Biasing? Your amp need bias if it is sounding too neutral and uncolored. I recommend playing Rush's show to increase the bias on the right channel but since Keith is off the air I don't know what to use on the left channel. | |
| Ads with no picture WTF?? I tried several times to post pictures with my ad; always got an error notice; never use to have this problem. I finally added a reference to an ad on another site for the same item where I had no trouble posting the pictures. My ad is expiring; I... | |
| Impedance matching 8ohm speakers to 4ohm sub You will need a custom cable with a Speakon connector; as Al says the wire can be of relativly small gauge. These will come with the sub, can be made by you or purchased on here made by a member with great feedback. The RELs should work fine with ... | |
| Most suitable tone arm for linn sondek LP12 I am using the Moth version of the Rega 1000 arm with a Pete Wriggle VTA adjustor. The Moth is $1200 vs $2000 for the Rega badged one. According to British reviews there is no difference between them. Paul Messenger has switched to the 1000 from a... | |
