| An Extraordinary Find Hmmm...If the speakers Joperfi heard at this year's CES event, they are the production ones. Again, there is continuous improvement, but I believe it has been quite subtle since January. I am sorry that you didn't like the sonics. As you stated, I... | |
| Jadis/Spendor system Having lived with this amp for about five years, I think you need to look at a different pair of speakers.Also, the amp sounds much better with either JJ KT88 or E34L tubes. Much sweeter and alive.Personally, like with any amplifier, I have found ... | |
| Granite Audio Model 657 Tube CD Player I own the Granite 657 CD player. Personally, I think it's fantastic. The CD players I have always ranked at the top were the Audio Aero Capitole, the Electrocompaniet, and the high drawer YBA. I haven't heard the YBA in more than five years, so le... | |
| An Extraordinary Find Fiddler, yes, Dodgealum is correct. The Reference is $24K. While this seems like an act of folly, I personally know that in building the cost no object, "how good can we build a speaker?" Reference, a lot was learned. Much of which has flowed (not... | |
| An Extraordinary Find In my opinion, there's good news and bad news for you, Dodealum...The bad news is, as you indicated, in Dr. Raines most difficult room, you have yet to really hear the speakers. I think the hardness of the contruction materials contributes to the ... | |
| An Extraordinary Find I first must say that I am a part of Fried...Dodgealum, thank you for this thread! Where did you hear the speakers, if I may ask?I have had differing experiences with the imaging, like you. I believe that the room first, and ancillary components s... | |
| The most detailed speaker cable?? Sean, your detail filled post is probably the finest of the year. I doubt it will be equalled by any of us in 2005.As you pointed out, Rsbeck has no interest in having his perspective altered. What I have continued to see in his cable postings, he... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons I'm going to let everyone know when Bill finishes his own Ohms, and then you're all going to have to get into Philly so that we can all go over to HIS house for a bar b que. Believe me, it's going to be an absolute blast.As Sean stated, Bill's fav... | |
| Jadis Orchestra Reference Denis, it's wonderful to hear the JOR sounds so good for you. I would like to point out to everyone that Denis (Springbok10) is one of the most knowledgeable and demanding listeners one will ever encounter. Unlike a lot of audiophiles, he will not... | |
| New journey - Samsung HD841 Universal Player Well, after several weeks of burning my player in with both SACDs and CDs, I spent a significant amount of time listening to my Samsung over the weekend.First, allow me to say that my Granite 657 CD player is quite significantly better than the Sa... | |
| What stole your attention from HiFi? Yeah, cars...Just got a new Toyota 4WD Matrix a few weeks ago, with a Mini Cooper Convertible coming next week (my order just arrived from the UK). Was talking to the TRD guys at my Toyota dealer this week in desperate hopes of being able to come ... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Ah, the JSE Infinite Slopes... I really liked the smaller ones (1, 1.2(?) and 1.8), and owned a pair. As you moved up in the food chain (2 and 4), I found them to have a tendency to sound boring, and goodness knows, I gave them a chance. Heard a p... | |
| Audiogon identifier at Stereophile show? This is turning into a VERY interesting thread, and the potential is limitless... | |
| What is the MOST audiophile friendly city ??? I think the large Asian cities are much more serious than those here in the USA. Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore have murderer's rows of high end store and people who take music very seriously. My wife, who is from China, has several friends invol... | |
| Moving to New Zealand from USA Now What????? Would be nice to see our NZ friend Redkiwi chime in here... |
