| Where would you go after Wilson WP7? You may want to consider the new Rockport Atria. It has the same scanspeak tweeter as the Avior with some of the smoothest, almost crystalline highs I have heard in a box speaker, almost like a ESL. The smaller footprint of the Atria should work w... | |
| Wish List of LPs to be re-released I just got the Tull reissue of Thick As A Brick. Pretty expensive despite the discount. I dont know if its just my luck but the sonics in all the reissues have been pretty disappointing including Tull. The only reissue I have positively warmed to ... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... This may be out of sync in a Scotch whiskey thread but I highly recommend two Japanese single malts : the Yamazaki 12 and 18 years, the latter is outstanding as is the Hibekki 17 year old. A surprise for me was an Indian single malt Amrut fusion e... | |
| Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors Hi JohnThanks for asking.Still breaking in. Been home for two weeks but no much listening time. The initial harshness in the treble has mellowed. I have owned ESLs for 8 years with the ML Odyessy and then the Quads and never thought I would go bac... | |
| Wish List of LPs to be re-released Some record honcho is reading this thread....Tull - Thick As A Brick just got released and Roger Waters- Amused To Death, is slated for a Oct,13 release...;) Pradeep | |
| In-the-Grove lp cleaner Hi DougGood to hear from you. You just devalued me and my currency by 300%!! LolPradeep | |
| In-the-Grove lp cleaner I just got this gizmo. My 2 paise worth. It's not a general purpose cleaner but IMHO extremely useful for a first time clean of brand new sealed and garage sale records . IME all new LPs have a fine layer of micro dust clearly visible with a LED o... | |
| Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors RhynoMany thanks. I seem to be getting enough juice from my 70/80 wpc Conrad Johnson LP 70s with KT 120s. Not sure what a more powerful amp will achieve in my 23x14x 9 feet room. The system plays pretty loud as it is and the speakers are a long wa... | |
| Deliciously musical...Mytek DSD 192 DAC IMHO, Yes Sir | |
| Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors Reached home at 2am on Sat after a long flight from JFK. At noon the Rockport Aviors arrived in 2 huge cartons. Really impressive packing.I have less than 8 hours on the Rockport Aviors. Initially was a wee bit underwhelmed , if not disappointed. ... | |
| Deliciously musical...Mytek DSD 192 DAC Kclone and DtcI had the local dealer set up a brand new M 51 in my system. The next day I called him agreeing to purchase the unit. The dealer and I are good friends. After day 4 , I told the dealer I was not entirely happy and he promptly took th... | |
| Deliciously musical...Mytek DSD 192 DAC NjsSure except the DSD Mahler Symphony 1 from Blue Coast records is USD 50 a pop ! Entirely agree that DSD sounds great but my experience is limited to a few free downloads. Hopefully HD Tracks will include DSD in its repertoire some day. The Myte... | |
| Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors A quick update. Over the weekend I snagged a CJ GAT preamp on Agon. I believe it's a good deal and allows me to significantly improve on a sonic footprint that I love. The minor hassle is converting the GAT to 230v. My tech friend back home says t... | |
| Musical Fidelity VLink 192 to kw dm 25 dac NickevansI am sure that's a valid comment... not sure what it means...Have a great New Year | |
| Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors Philb7777Congrats on your ARC gear. I have heard great things about the Ref 250 monos. Am pretty familiar with ARC. I had a vintage LSB2 pre and later a SP 16. I think there is more convergence than divergence between the latter CJ and ARC gear ei... |
