DVD/SACD on the Verge?
SACD and DVD - A fit the analogy, "All dressed up with nowhere to go." I don't care if Sony started selling SACD players for $99, unless and until there is software to play in the machine, it is like having a screen door on a submarine. No, it doe... 
Opinion on Jadis Orchestra Refference
Bigboy, I own a Jadis Orchestra Reference.I went to the Talon website, and was unable to find the sensitivity characteristics of the Khorus. However, based on the impedence plot(http://www.talonaudio.com/impedance.htm), I am sure the amp will be a... 
What has blown my tweeter????
Digitaltwist, your first step should be to remove the tweeter from the cabinet, and make sure it is still connected. Your solution may involve nothing more than a quick reconnect with the soldering iron, etc.If the tweeter is connected, ensure tha... 
Rolling your own
I am also a big fan of DIY speaker projects. Zalytron is a great source for parts, there are several other North American retailers of parts from companies like Accuton, Axon, Dynaudio, Eton, Focal, Kimber, OrcaDesign, Raven, Seas, Solen, Vifa, th... 
Fedex, didn't it used to mean Federal Express?
Well, the story can now be brought to a conclusion. After one more call to me by Fedex(I know...), and me returning it, I was able to speak to an intelligent human being. I again submitted directions, and was told she would make sure they were inc... 
FIM 880 AC Outlet-- Best tweak I've ever heard
Craig and Bruce, thanks for sharing your experiences here. I am so glad both of you have found an outlet that seems to be the last word in terms of what you are looking for. When a system is at the level that yours are, such a product is truly a g... 
Fedex, didn't it used to mean Federal Express?
Swampwalker, you are oh so right. Had I realized that this was going on, I would have just picked up the speakers myself on Saturday. In the past, I once picked up a Fedex Overnight letter myself, as it was a scholarship offer I needed to respond ... 
Fedex, didn't it used to mean Federal Express?
Here are the latest and greatest events in the saga of Fedex Ground delivering my speakers...What's most laughable is that I received an audio rack via Fedex ground one month ago(with no problems, believe it or not). I guess they forgot a lot in a... 
Fried A/6's -- An offer you can't refuse?
I, too, have jumped on the bandwagon. I should have my speakers in the next few days. They are actually not for me, but my fiance. She demanded a GOOD pair of speakers for our(her) soon to be assembled family room system. For $300, I don't know ho... 
AMC out of favor?
Brulee, THANKS so much for the kind words!Maybe I shouldn't post, and take you up on your threat. It would be great to see you out here on the east coast. You may be a California guy, but you definitely have an east coast mentality. Hey, why not c... 
Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps?
Glreno, I agree with almost all of what you put forth. Especially, when it comes to Jolida. The Jolida 302A/B is one of my all time favorite components. Upgrade the tubes and power cords, and a lot of people would wonder if they should have bought... 
AMC out of favor?
Yes, AMC has fallen out of favor.It's nothing out of the ordinary. Happens to audio brands all the time. Go back 15 years...How many brands that you were dreaming of back then do you still dream of now? As I sit here struggling to remember, my str... 
GRANITE 657 CDP anybody heard it?
Valid point, Racerx90. I am not in the market for a CD player in the price range of the Granite 657. However, if the opportunity ever presented itself for me to audition the player, I would certainly take advantage of it.My opinion is that over th... 
GRANITE 657 CDP anybody heard it?
I have personally heard the Granite 650 in Stephen's home. Related components were Granite monoblocks(with KT88 output tubes), Sunfire preamp(HT, I believe), and Osborn Eclipse(I think) loudspeakers. It was a very musical player. I would agree wit...
