| Zero feedback and class A,which is better? I hadn't thought about matching OTLs with auto-formers as I would have thought the autoformers negate the OTL-ness but the answer is probably that I was not thinking creatively enough. Sounds like a great idea.Ralph, Is the reason why SS amps soun... | |
| Zero feedback and class A,which is better? I expect digging around the archives could lead you to a respectable body of opinion, especially if you widen your search to include other ML models which have similar minimum impedance levels.The argument of zero negative feedback and Class A are... | |
| Vinyl Outselling CD Honest1, earlier in the article it suggests that vinyl is outselling CDs on new releases on an outright basis in some cases. The thing to note is also that DJ-ing has become a VERY popular hobby for young people these days. It's also a star career... | |
| Counterfeit Audio? $1925 took it home. | |
| Counterfeit Audio? FWIW, the one shown on ebay looks, from memory, JUST like mine, which I bought used from a dealer here in Japan, where the Cello equipment had quite a good market (and continues to have a healthy secondary market - I have seen three go past the us... | |
| Luxman vs. Accuphase Between the two (L450 or E202), I would also go for the Accuphase - I think a better all-round amp originally. Given their age, the Luxman has probably lost all but utility value and while the Lux sounds "OK", I would agree with Photon46 that it's... | |
| Turntables from 1-10: Personality 8.5 Beauty 12 Hi cw,How about a PX-2...? Slightly retro, somewhat cool-looking, and... well... you have a history there... | |
| One TT, 2 arms, 2 cartridges for $2,000 used? I will suggest that $2000 can get you a competent enjoyable set-up, but will add my opinion to the others' above that 1 table, 1 arm, 1 cart is the right way to start. A second cart is easy enough to add later just by adding a cart to a headshell ... | |
| best used amp for Martin Logan SL3's Sidssp,FWIW, a friend of mine is thinking of pairing a McIntosh integrated with a pair of SL3s (without listening to it beforehand - aaargh). Is there something particular to McIntosh which would make them a bad match with SL3s? My understanding i... | |
| best used amp for Martin Logan SL3's Wkjeffers, lots of amps will be good or bad depending on impedance, and because the SL3s go down to 1 ohm, they will test a lot of amps. Having used an amp which could deal with it on my SL3s and an amp which couldn't, I highly recommend amps whic... | |
| Jadis JF-1 Crossover? Any experience? Gregm, Thanks much for taking the time. I am re-arranging things this evening (oops, just turned morning) to hook everything up. Someone from Jadis overnight confirmed my understanding (JF1 built for Jadis Eurythmies w/ xover at 180Hz, 12db slope,... | |
| Has anybody heard the new Nagra CD Player? Alex, There are many reasons why #3 did not sound as good but Id rather not discuss them here.Unfortunately, that leaves us information-seekers in the cold. If the reason is because of less-than-adequate implementation of the test, then the resu... | |
| Jadis JF-1 Crossover? Any experience? Hi Gregm, thanks for posting. It was your comment several months ago which pulled the idea of bi-amping the system out of the cobwebbed areas of the gray matter.Yes to most of your assumptions... current amps are 1 pair monoblocks, 1 integrated; t... | |
| Good Baritone Sax Recording? I always liked the metro corridor solo in Luc Besson's "Subway" (a.k.a. "Metro" in French). The saxophonist was Alain Guillard. Music by Eric Serra (though this was one of the less memorable efforts (for both Besson and Serra, but the first time I... |
