| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage I was just wondering if Tedbrady had come any closer to has final impressions of what the Tap has to offer in the context of his system?I totally agree with Ted's last post when he stated that since the Tap was quite a change to what he's used to,... | |
| Best power conditioner? There is no BEST power conditioner, however there are a few that don't limit current and let your gear perform to the best of their abilities. The one I would recommend is the Running Springs Audio Jaco line conditioner, which I decided on after t... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage First, I would like to wish a happy B-day to Ted and congratulate him on his new Bent Tap. Then on to the serious questions on hand.1) Since you have the great luxury of having both the Tap and another excellent preamp which is a highly regarded t... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I just got finished reading a review of the Accustic Arts CD Player1-Mk2 in the latest edition of hi>fi+ by Alan Sircom. He gave a strong thumbs up and thinks it competes with other CDP's that cost twice as much. To quote Mr. Sircom," Irrespect... | |
| Ayre MX-R vs Lamm M2.2 Opinions Cvman, I auditioned the Ayre Mx-R monoblocks and found them ok, but somewhat "dry" to my ear's. If you go to past threads on this subject you will get more information and polite disagreements regarding the sonic virtues of the Ayre's.So, out of t... | |

| Tube Preamps...I'm sold Nglaxer, I agree with you regarding the Wyetech Opal preamp, it's a great piece, however it's one of the least "tube" sounding tube preamps I have ever heard. Great details, macrodynamics, and prat, but if Tboooe is looking for some tube "warmth" ... | |
| Does the width of the ribbon affect sound Johnston, yes it takes about 50 to 100 hours for the new ribbon's to "burn-in" and really blossom. As far as I know Magnepan has not recently changed anything physical when it comes to their ribbon tweeters, I recently replaced my ribbons in my MG... | |
