| Recommendation for a new cd player?? The New Soundquest player looks great,sounds great and sells for about $1200 | |
| Considering doing Chinese I always used North American Electronics(Sonic Frontiers Aragon,Krell,Classe,BAT & CJ to name a few.My system is now composed entirely of Consonance equipment(Cyber 80 amps,Cyber 50 preamp,and Forbidden City Turandot CD player).I do use a Sony... | |
| Raysonic CD-128. How good? When I first heard the Raysonic my impressions were the same as yours.I was looking to replace my Consonance Droplet with something less cumbersome(to make room for a Turntable on the top shelf of my rack).When I saw the Raysonic at my dealer I fe... | |
| Opinion on Sonic Frontiers SFM-160 monoblocks I owned both SFM-75 monos and 160 monos for several years.I think they are nice(but unremarkable) amps.Be prepared to experiment!The tubes,cables, DAC and speakers are all important in the equation.At that price they are a no brainer.I sold mine f... | |
| What are your experience with The Sililoquy 5.3's? I agree with Bbro completely!!! | |
| Consonance Calaf versus Dk Design Vs.1 MkII or III I've heard the Calaf at Quest For Sound on a number of occasions.I thought it blew away the DK that Steve carried at that time.Used it to audition the Turandot CD player which I purchased.If I did not have the Cyber 800 amps and Cyber 50 pre I wou... | |
| What are your experience with The Sililoquy 5.3's? I loved mine.I used them with Sonic Frontiers FM 75 monos,Tara RSC cables and a Cary 303/200 CD player.I auditioned them with Consonance M400 monos and Ref.CD player.They sounded great in the store(Quest For Sound).I replaced (upgraded} them with ... | |
| How many pair of speakers do you own? 4 pair for 2 channel(Canton Karat M-70,JM Lab 816s(soon to be for sale),Revel F-30,and Soliloquy 6.3i(arriving this week).In addition we have 5 home theater set-ups(3 in bedrooms,one in my wife's sitting room and one in the family room).These feat... | |
| Infinity Kappa 8's I used an Adcom 555 and an Aragon 8008BB to drive the Kappa 8's when I had them.Both amps did the job.Larry | |
| Von Schweikert DB99 vs Consonance M15-thoughts? I've heard both extensively(at Quest).The DB 99's are phenominally good speakers.I've heard them with low power SET Tubes and monster SS Amps.They sound great with any decent amp.I've owned 4 jr's and they're not even close!(although the 4 sr(whic... | |
| Monitors for a bedroom system....... Quad 11L's at $700 new or about $450 used are among the best small speakers I've owned(including 805 Matrix,Kef Reference,and many others.They sound great,look great(especially in Birdseye maple),and are just ridiculously good at their price!Larry | |
| BEST BALANCED XLR TUBE PREAMP FOR JC-1 MONOS? I second everything John (Jmcgrogan2) has to say.Larry | |
| How should I ship these babies? Via a trucking co. like BAX Global.larry | |
| Used Preamp for $2000 to $3000 Bat VK=3,VK-5,VK-30 or 30 SE would work well and be in your price range.I've used at least 10 (past 5 yrs.) preamps including Classe CP-50,Adcom 750,CJ 14& Premier 18LS,Rogue Magnum 99,Sonic Frontiers Line 1 & Line 1SE,Bel Canto Pre-1,and ... | |
| A trick with Scotch Whisky I no longer drink Boone's Farm or Annie Greenspring but can recommend Mike's Hard Lemonaide.Of course all of these drinks pale in comparison with a robust cup of coffee enhanced with a shot of Nocello or Franjelica and some Wa-Wa French Vanilla Cr... |
