| Legacy 20/20 and Tubes I will have to back Sean's statements on the quality and fit and finish. A buddy of mine purchased a pair and the cabinets were very attractive. However, we could NEVER get the speakers to do anything right. These were a pair of the Legacy Focus I... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Steve Stevens and Randy Rhodes. Two incredibly talented individuals. Steve is fortunately still with us.Chris | |
| Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage? Larry, Good point but I don't know. I usually treat myself to new speakers and gear every year or two. My wife calls it a sickness. I like to try new things. I am sure I would dig em though! Maybe they would stop my wanting to try new speakers.. H... | |
| Broke and still not happy Gellis1,Take a look at Kimber's PBG and KCAG, neither sheilded. They do offer a sheilded version of the PBJ and it sounds worse. One example but do not worry about it. You will be fine using a digital source. Trust me on this. You will dig the cab... | |
| Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage? "I nominate jeffjarvis's remark above as the Audiogon quote of the year. I'm still smiling over it." Nice, I totally agree! That is funny..I am huge Sonus Faber Fan as I have owned several of their speakers but $40K is almost enough to get me in t... | |
| Broke and still not happy Gellis1,I think that is a great choice. I am sure you will probably prefer the Pathos over your current seperates and you eliminated a need for a pair of interconnects. I think you will also dig the Au24. It does not look like much but it is the b... | |
| Universal player or Naim cd5i with Naim Nait 5i Coopster,Both Emil and Oscar have given you very solid advice. Universal players at that price point are somewhat of a sacrifice. I mean I own over 1000 Redbook CDs and 10 SACDS. I was considering purchasing a Marantz Uni player and settled on a C... | |
| Broke and still not happy After looking at your system I am surprised as many that it does not sound great. However, if you do not have a good synergy between components, even the most expensive of systems can sound like crap. If you are truly not happy, I would suggest yo... | |
| Sonus Faber CONCERTO-Tube people, how much power.. I am using a Cary SLI-80 Signature with great success. (40WPC) Seems to be more than enough and the Cary is a fantabulous match with the Sonus. (Also used a SS Electrocompaniet with them. (70WPC) This combo sounded very nice as well but just not T... | |
| Review: Monument Reference Signature Series SoundPosts Tweak Tom,Thanks so much for the follow up. Yeah, I too had played with a few of the Tone woods before but what makes the SoundPosts unique is the Varnish applied to the wood.It states in the owner’s manual that the woods that are used for the products ... | |
| Speaker cables for Sonus Faber GP Homes I use the Audience Au24 with stellar success with my Sonus Concerto Homes. I have tried Nordost,AQ,XLO,and Cardas and the Audience just sounds better. Also using their Interconnects and PowerChords. Good Luck.Chris | |
| Alpha Core MI2 vs Audience AU24 speaker cable I would suggest the Audience due to performance and being small and easy to install in your vehicle as it is flexible. I have never heard the Alphacore but I find it hard to take a product like it serious when you look at their marketing efforts. ... | |
| Which SS amps sound like a tube amp? One of the few solid state amps I enjoyed was an Electrocompaniet. I have owned Bryston, YBA, and others but the Electro took the prize. Now a Tube Junky.. | |
| ipod/itunes problems "Lighten up Frances" is from the movie Stripes! Bill Murray, John Candy? Remember?? I did not think it was your name, it is just an expression.The iPod is what it is. If I want to listen critically, I load a disc in to my CARY CD Player. If I am o... | |
| ipod/itunes problems 11-14-04: Merganser"You'll have to excuse me on this one, but I don't think ipod anything has a place here."Lighten up Frances. Music formating is going this direction whether you like it or not. The iPod is a great component. I saw this as well b... |
