| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews Albert has sunk a few companies that he has been involved with.I,personally,can't forget the VR-5s he demoed at CES 98.When I bought my pair only the drivers were the same.Cabinet bracing,special damping material and custom wiring/capacitors were ... | |
| Help choose a power amp I've heard and seen the ART SLA-1 put to good use,I imagine the SLA-2 would work also (1/2:100W/200W).I think you will need to install RCAs/XLRs and disconnect the fan,but for $160-300 it's a good investment. | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews Did you ever notice that there aren't negative reviews any more.The content of Stereophile and TAS is watered down and it appears as if they don't want to offend anyone.Had to let my subscriptions go-too bad!But I still keep up with audio through ... | |
| Walker Audio Proscenium Turntable: Photo Essay The Walker phono amd linestage list at $12.5K each and the MD cartridge is $5K.Hope that helps-Rushton/Albert Happy New Year! | |
| classe audio six vs dr-6 The Dave Reich-6 was the Classe pre to get.After Dave left and started to design for Theta,the Classe lost any organic qualities.More extended,but the midrange lost something.NEW-about $3200,Year:84-?.Schipo is correct about the gold handled model... | |
| SOTA Star, Grado Refrence arm and XTZ MKV Cart Try running the table minus the vacuum.The Grado arm is a special unit.I loved mine ,until the hydraulics started leaking.The top-end of the Grado cartridge should alleviate a good deal of brightness/leanness in your system.Happy listening! | |
| Are first order crossovers best? The complexity of the X-over will effect amps differently,as the back EMF will have different phase angles.Simple 6db/oct reduces this effect and is more agreeable to small set amps. The order of x-ver is generally determined by the drivers used,t... | |
| I am very happy with my progress to this point. Tact or Z-systems pre/dacs? | |
| What is the input impedance of the Classe DR-9 amp The input impedance that I supplied was for the RCA/unbalanced inputs. | |
| BI-AMP OR NOT? I would contact VSA and inquire whether there is phase compensation for the driver planes-bringing the woofer into phase with the tweeter.If there is,your bi-amp will never meld. | |
| What is the input impedance of the Classe DR-9 amp I believe it is 100K ohms.I had these in a bi-amp situation with various crossovers. | |
| Upgrading - Pls Suggest Speakers to Review The Wisdom hi-freqs are not that extended.The speaker is better on transients,then on decay-thus more instrument and less acoutic cues.IMHO.If Talon-check out the Raptor. | |
| Symphonic Line Had the RG-1 MKII inhouse for a while.I liked the harmonic structure.One of the better class-A biased solidstate amps I've had through here. | |
| Upgrading - Pls Suggest Speakers to Review I've heard good things about the revamped B&Ws,especially their 6db/octave crossover-more natural. | |
| Burned out hi fi salesman Yes,,talk about burning bridges(CS).They left me with a bad taste-period!(CS)0 |
