| Japanese/Asian Speakers??? As Twl mentioned, the Japanese market is different than the U.S. market. I have lived in Japan for 12yrs and note that the Japanese speakers available here are entirely different than those available elsewhere. I have not found that many single-dr... | |
| Soliloquy 6.5 vs. Coincident Super Eclipse same $ Oops. Maybe I am late but a very good friend has Coincident Super Eclipses in a room which is probably 13 x 20. He runs them from the narrow end facing the long way (we tried them the other way but it does NOT work. They definitely need to be out ... | |
| Tube Integrated Celtic66, thanks for the quick response. I have thought of the IT-85 but I live in Japan and I imagine that with the voltage change and o/seas shipping on an amp, it'll be easier to buy it here (and here they run 2+x that). I am looking more for a... | |
| New York Philharmonic To Move The NYPO and Carnegie Hall released a joint statement today to the effect that boards of the two institutions had agreed on a merger between the two. CH hopes to have the NYPO performing there on a full-time basis in 2006. | |
| French translations needed4Consonance R-2.2 review FWIW, In addition to Gregm's note about the tube stage comment partway through the review, I read JPL's conclusory comments ("On pourrait toutefois...") in the sidebar at the end to suggest that the tube stage is not critical and the player would ... | |
| Linn Ikemi vs. Arcam FMJ CD33 I tried the Ikemi vs the CD23 (Ikemi won hands down in every way - I have not heard the CD33), the Cary 301 (Cary smooth, Ikemi smooth, I thought Cary lacked dynamics and some amount of detail but it could have been "too much tube" in the system),... | |
| Is There Big Trouble Brewing? I have to agree with Unclejeff (and Sean). My parents think the last good non-classical/non-jazz music was made in 1970 (not coincidentally about the time of the breakup of the Beatles). My grandmother thinks nothing made after 1950 is anything bu... | |
| SACD - what gives? I get the feeling of being in the minority (or perhaps composing it myself). I have neither an analog rig nor good tweeters which perhaps makes me more satisfied with SACD than I should be but I am reasonably happy with SACD so far.Perhaps my age ... | |
| Are there speakers after Stax? Wmcmanus, does the Audiovalve RKV have speaker terminals or just the jacks on the front? I tried the AKG K1000s recently and am smitten (and when I listened to them, I thought they were electrostats too) and am now trying to figure out how to swin... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" I like Pbb's format so I'll copy it... (all on CD or SACD)New discovery #1: Mariza, a fado singer with an absolutely beautiful voice who arrived on the fado scene a couple of years ago (the Portuguese Norah Jones?). I have recently been listening ... | |
| Energy ESM-2 Anyone else remember them? I had a pair of ESM-2s or 3s (can't remember which) as my part of my first stereo system (Yamaha receiver, Nakamichi deck, Dual TT) 20+yrs ago when I was in junior high. Brings back all kinds of memories (including ones of the year of weekends law... | |
| Song intros that really grab you? ? Slipknot1, I was waiting for that one. That intro truly IS great. I think the intro to "Private Investigations" on the same album is also pretty nifty. | |
| Chopin nocturnes I must admit to never having heard Moravec performing Chopin so cannot compare. With this outpouring of Moravec recommendations, I think I know what my next few piano CDs will be... Of the others mentioned above (or not mentioned - Busoni, Dutra, ... | |
| Tube Amp for Avalon Eidolon Speakers I own the VTL MB 450s mentioned in the last two posts and I love them dearly but I have never heard them with Eidolons (or Opus/etc). At the Tokyo audio show several months ago, I heard Eidolons driven by Nagra VPA monoblocks and the PLP preamp an... | |
| What are you powering your Martin Logans with???? ML SL3s driven by VTL MB450s. |
