| Best preamp match for Air Tight ATM-3s ? I've been using a Joule Electra LA150 with an Air Tight 300B with very good results. The Joule Electra has remote control which I don't think the Air Tight above does. | |
| beveridge speakers are coming back Dave,I also listened to probably those same Beveridges on Woodward but can't remember the store. Any idea what it was? I don't think it was Harry Francis' but can't remember anyting about it except the big Beveridges. | |
| What comes after Jean-Marie Reynaud? Merlin VSMs with a Joule amp. | |
| New Van Morrison disc "Astral Weeks" was damn good, too... | |
| New Van Morrison disc Better than "Moondance"? Find that hard to believe. | |
| Harbeths and Tube Amps Nzera,I've been told that the Radial driver, as used in the C7, requires quite a bit of current to work properly. This was told to me by someone at the Harbeth distributor but I can't remember who. How did the Granite Audion in particular work? I'... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... Maybe I'm just being grumpy after 11.5 hours of work but I can't get through 1/3 of this thread because of the God awful spelling and punctuation (what's with all words in the middle of sentences with caps?). Try reviewing along with the spewing. | |
| What Guitarists Remind You Of SRV Or Hendrix? I saw the Experience live at, I think, Masonic Auditorium in 1968. There was a problem with RI and Jimi's amps picked up a local AM radio news/talk show which then boomed across the hall. He looked confused and turned to fiddle with the amps and e... | |
| Harbeths and Tube Amps Thanks, guys. I know the Air Tight is only 10wts but it's done some amazing things in my small room including driving 85db Spendor 3/5s. Of course, the amp has those massive Tamura trannies which gives it quite a wide bandwidth.However, I also kno... | |
| ARC VTM120 Any thoughts? I don't really know how to determine that from specs but most tube amps are not high current deliverers. This is not needed with many speakers and I've used 300B and 572 based SETs with ProAcs, Spendors, Merlins, and Soliloquys with great success.... | |
| ARC VTM120 Any thoughts? I had a rather detailed conversation with Quicksilver's designer a few months ago who pretty much said the mid-monos are of the same sound and music making ability as the V4s, just at 1/2 the power and don't look as cool. I've been looking for a t... | |
| ARC VTM120 Any thoughts? Over the years I've listened to ARC amps at a local store with Maggies, Vandersteens, Aerials, and Spendors. Have always found them a bit dry and threadbare, but I've heard the VTM120 might be a different animal - more warm and "musical" sounding.... | |
| Do I need power conditioning What is "an audiophile aps"? How did you win such a thing? | |
| Do I need power conditioning I have had the same experience and can have great music for days and then degraded sound quality for a coulpe of days. I started a thread about this maybe 2-3 months ago and you can search for it under "Misc" or under my username. There were lots ... | |
| Tube integrated for ProAc 2S Be careful with the C-J as it's a bit fuzzy sounding and doesn't have very good transparency or dynamics - kinda the traditional C-J sound, in my opinion. I understand (and heard at a show once) that ARC's integrated from 6-7 yrs ago works very we... |
