| One of the best tweeters ever, whatever happened? Sean, I was surprised you didn't chime in about the Optimus speakers the Linaeums were used in. As you are well aware, people used to stuff the ports with some VERY interesting things! | |
| Irving Bud Fried has died I attended the funeral services this morning. Very nice, yet very somber. It was very cold and very rainy, just outside of Northeast Philadelphia. Seems like the sky has been crying here since Friday.I sound like a broken record, but Bud was a uni... | |
| Condolences to our Catholic members As a Roman Catholic, the death of Pope John Paul II strikes me deeply. He was the pope during most of my life, and led a remarkable life. Through both the Nazi and Communist regimes of his surroundings, his faith shone brightly like a beacon. His ... | |
| Irving Bud Fried has died Thank you for all the well wishes! To say that Bud was a great man is a supreme understatement. Though most actually knew him better than I, I consider it a gift from God to have grown quite close to him as of late. He is to the loudspeaker what H... | |
| Irving Bud Fried has died Sadly, as I returned home, I have found a few messages on my machine from Fried, including Dr. Raines who is currently in San Francisco, that Bud Fried has passed away.It is surely a sad day for audio. Again, Bud was one of the most interesting, d... | |
| Irving Bud Fried has died Hello. I have a call into my dear friend, Dr. Jonathan Raines, who is CEO of Fried, and has taken a leading role in Bud's care of late. As such, I don't know what is going on at the moment. All I can say is that I sincerely hope this news is wrong... | |
| JPS Labs Superconductor Go with the better, single wire cable, and use better, exceptionally high quality jumpers (solid copper, silver, or a very short length of the Superconductor2 itself). That is the best of both worlds. | |
| New journey - Samsung HD841 Universal Player Bob, thank you for the link! Though, like Sean, I didn't get through it all, it will make for very interesting reading. | |
| New journey - Samsung HD841 Universal Player I want to first thank everyone in the participation of this thread!Barring me returning it to Best Buy, which would only be a result of the unit not functioning correctly, this will obviously be a long term thread. Something I will revisit at vari... | |
| Antique Sound Lab 805 DT SETs--WOW Congratulations on the new amps, Jeffreybehr!!! Enjoy them with the best of health and sound!I think ASL amplifiers are more than underrated. My friend had a pair of ASL 1009 (double 845 tubes), and although he moved away from them, I found them t... | |
| Is SACD a dead format? Thank you for the kind words, Pardales.This has become a pretty heated thread, and while I often enjoy those, this one doesn't need to be.In the "put your money where your mouth is", I just returned from Best Buy with one of the $99 Samsung HD841 ... | |
| Is SACD a dead format? If you picked up 50 SACDs that you loved, would it not be worth it considering Sean's post that the very highly regarded Samsung HD841 is now selling at BestBuy for $99? Theoretically, you could have these 50 discs to listen to for 10 or 20 years.... | |
| Full range speakers with small footprint? I think Swampwalker nailed it with the Merlins. An exceptionally fine speaker, with a small footprint, that will go a lot lower than most people would expect. | |
| Is SACD a dead format? The catalogs of the audiophile centric record/disc sellers I get seem to point in the direction that SACD is gaining some traction with the smaller audiophile labels. A good thing, I think, as a grassroots movement that turns out music that is loo... | |
