| 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... | |
| Whither the Great Designers? Excellent responses, guys. By "etc." I in addition meant, of course, people like Nelson Pass, etc. Unfortunately, Karsten, Weisfield, both Mike Sanders, Rowland, etc. have all been around for more than 20 years. I think Go and Dan Wright might be ... | |
| Anybody hear the Tonian Labs Montior Bluemike,I received just one of my super tweeters today as Tonian sent both by USPS, the other tweeter was mistakenly sent back to Tonian by the post office. Tony at Tonian told me he shipped by post office, 2 day, thinking I'd have them yesterday... | |
| Anybody hear the Tonian Labs Montior Bluemike,I don't know anything about the speakers but a pair of the super tweeters are being delivered tomorrow and I'll keep you posted. Tonian was excellent to deal with. | |
| What's the "worst" cdp for the money? "Gonna lay around the shanty, Momma, and get good buzz on."Damn, am I dating myself or what? | |
| What's the "worst" cdp for the money? Exaggerating is actually really pretty much a woman thing. My wife does it, like, a million times a day.Elizabeth, what do you mean you never do anything? Are you exaggerating again or do just sit around the house all day Saturdays and Sundays? | |
| Anybody hear the Tonian Labs Montior Tonian may give you a 7 day in-home trial but it doesn't seem to be a company policy at this point. It'd be worth calling them to discuss as I think the owner/designer usually answers the phone. I also find them interesting and am checking out the... | |
| Amp for Proac Response 2.5 Quite nice with the Accuphase - very musical and sweet. Amp was only 25wts SS but did a nice job. | |
| Inverted phase preamps? Amp end or speaker end - it makes no difference. Lots of recordings are made out of phase and you can hear it. I got some new Cream remasters which have songs out of phase and I'll play with some switching later tonight. | |
| Inverted phase preamps? I have a Joule Electra LA150 and Jud (the designer) told me switch leads at either speaker or amp end of speaker wires, doesn't matter. I've done both and cannot hear a difference, however, a couple times I forgot to reverse at all and man, oh, ma... | |
| Why does my new tube amp and preamp sound so bad? The sound you describe is nothing like my experience with Cary pre-amp and amps - I've owned one pre and three amps.I do find Klipsches to have that tinny sound, though. If I were you I'd call Cary again and strongly request to speak with Dennis H... | |
| Why not more on 845 SETs? Those 845s sure are bright, aren't they? I've just gone eight years of SETs and 20 years of tube amps in general to a Plinius SA50 Mk III. Good luck to me! | |
| Tube amp with Vienna Acoustics Beethovens? Playing around with rectifier and driver tubes (especially rectifiers) can change the sound. Worked near wonders with my Air Tight. | |
| Harbeth Owners - I Need Some Help When my wife first saw the C7s she said, "oh my God, they're beautiful!" This is with the grills removed which is how I'm listening. | |
| Harbeth Owners - I Need Some Help I know what're you're saying, Drubin. I try to calculate the physics between a lossy cabinet and rigid, sand filled stand (with flat plate top), or one "Linn style" with an open top like the Epos which is not sand fillable and I just get confused.... |
