| Senior Audiophiles - Audiophile since the 60-70's? Guys, humor me a little. I remember when most of us had limited internet or long distance contacts, but when we interacted with other audiophiles it was more collegial than is the case now. Everyone was more constructive. Today with the internet a... | |
| What's after Supratek Judy, while Fiddler assumes my answer, I had hoped that others would not. Once and hopefully for the last time, I am not a dealer for either Exemplar nor for H-Cat; I have never received any piece of either's equipment for free, nor have I, with o... | |
| What's after Supratek There still is no such word whether Audiogon uses it or not. I do know of the prohibition, however. I am not in violation. You are not the one to ask for my explanation, nor do I believe that the moderators would have let me go on had I been guilt... | |
| What's after Supratek I cannot help what others believe anymore than I induced many who love their H-Cats to believe that you and BWhite have personal investments in your Suprateks. As you well know many have bought H-Cats and I am hardly alone. Also H-Cat received the... | |
| What's after Supratek Fiddler, not that I owe you any explanation as I have noted all of this before, but I never was a dealer for either Exemplar nor H-Cat. John did list me as a dealer early on when he was getting started as I had done much beta testing for him. I as... | |
| What's after Supratek You guys should seek out the Exemplar Revelation II, $2500, line stage. Certainly it does not have the excellent Supratek phono stage, but it is very dynamic and transparent and quiet. It is the best sounding tube line stage that I have heard with... | |
| Thoughts on the Supratek Chardonnay Ecclectique, I said what I said as a result of the question asked. Unlike yours and BWhite's posted elsewhere, mine is quite measured I thought. | |
| H2O 250 vs Mono's vs Spectron Musician III HELP Steve, my Acapella LaCampenellas are 93db efficient, but the 8 watt Reimyo SET 300b drives them easily. I have an 18' by 28' by 11.5' room, so the amp has to work hard. | |
| Isolated Ground Outlets Hosp Grade vs Audiophile In my opinion the IsoClean duplex is clearly the best. It is expensive, however, $180. | |
| H2O 250 vs Mono's vs Spectron Musician III HELP Steve, I have at various times tried powerful ss amps, some were very good, such as the Cellos, but I keep coming back to SETs of low power. I will soon be trying a more powerful 845 amp, but that is still only 20 watts. The Wavac 833s are great s... | |
| Thoughts on the Supratek Chardonnay I had one of the first Syrahs. After about six months one channel went out. It was going to cost me $350 in shipping to have it repaired by Supratek. Being a friend of John Tucker's, I ask if he might be able to repair it. He did so. I know of two... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Having heard Edgar's Chardonnay in his room last summer and having had one of the first Syrahs, I would like to comment on what he and I heard in our two Suprateks. He says, "A mild criticism I had of the Chard (much as I looked for something for ... | |
| Apple or PC? The Mac is of little interest to the hackers, as yet. It also does not have the backdoor entry problems that MS introduced stupidly. I am in a department that is primarily Wintel. Macs can work easily with them if they have current software. All o... | |
| SACD Player vs. CD Player in CD reproductions I think all digital format reproductions have advanced greatly in the last several years. I presently have a universal player and must say that I find sacds on it are strikingly more realistic and entralling than other formats, but cds are better ... | |
| speaker that project mids farther out into room In part this is a frequency response issue. Speakers with more top end will sound to your mind like the music is closer to you. Those that are more rolled off will sound more distant as the brain interprets the loss of highs as coming from greater... |
