| Opinions Needed! The dealer is Safe & Sound HQ in Chicopee, Mass. They are getting a silver unit in at the end of the week. I will be auditioning the one on the floor and if I like what I hear, I will purchase the silver one. I have 30 days to change my min... | |
| Opinions Needed! I shouldn't have mentioned the bass as it really isn't a big deal. The main reason is the cost of re-tubing. Here is the breakdown:4 Tung Sol KT-120 tubes cryoed 232.002 Mullard reissue 12au7 tubes cryoed 66.001 RCA Clea... | |
| Speakers for Heavy Metal linaeum66.....................I was in the same situation as you. I had Odyssey Kismet speakers which are the Lorelei with a much beefier crossover with more expensive caps. They sounded a little thin with my choice of music which includes a ver... | |
| Dynaco A-25, the Large Advent, and JBL Century L-100: which one nad the best sound?? 2 pairs of large Advents, stacked are even better HP in TAS loved them. The JBL's are great for rock but not so much for Jazz or Classical. The JBL doesn't need too much power to drive them where the Advents and Dynaco do. If you like all kind... | |
| Best speakers for Pink Floyd? I am probably one of Floyds bigger fans and I play them on my Golden Ear Triton Ones. You should hear the heartbeat from Dark Side, totally unbelievable. I had Vandersteens, DeVore, Paradigm, Von Schweikert and Odyssey speakers but none of them ... | |
| The one component that you wish you had not bought A pair of Von Schweikert VR-33 speakers. I got sucked in by the hype in their full page ad saying their 3,700.00 speaker sounds like a 15,000.00 speaker. I purchased them second hand from a person who had them less than a year. After getting th... | |
| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible Like my dad always said, "there is an ass for every seat". | |
| Tube or Hybrid Amps for MBL 111/116 ? Since MBL only makes solid state amps, it may be wise to stick with solid state. The tube amp my not have enough current to drive the MBL speakers effectively. From what I have seen and heard, they require big amps to sound their best. | |
| Advice needed: biwire speaker cables used as single wire speaker cable? I had an expensive pair of bi-wired cables and then bought speakers with single wire. A phone call to MIT assured me that I could connect both pairs of the bi-wired wires to the single wired terminals on my speakers. I used it this way for over ... | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced I will add my 2 cents worth and say Odyssey falls into this category. | |
| ARC VT100MK2 substitute I would think the Beryllium tweeter has a lot to do with that brightness. | |
| are magnepan mmg any good and intergrated amp suggestion for them Never heard them but they were on Stereophile's Rec Components List for years. | |
| UPGRADE TIME!! Preamp vs. Speakers??? Changing the speakers will make the biggest difference in sound. I would start there. | |
| 9 year old Parasound Jc 1s or new Bel Canto 1000m monos? I own a pair of GE Triton Ones and the JC-1 is not too much power for them. I am using a 160wpc power amp and it sound stupendous, I can only imagine how wonderful it will sound with 400wpc and mono blocks no less. | |
| GoldenEar Releases Triton 2+ and Triton 3+ Revisions Why don't you just say what you mean? They came out with a refreshed pair of 2 and 3. The two has been around 5 years and the three for almost that. I'm slightly annoyed that I took delivery of a new pair of Triton twos on Dec 23, 2015 and paid... |
