| Tweeter recommendation close to MDT33 I should clarify one of the arguments I have been making. You CANNOT use any $25 tweeter to get the kind of results I was speaking of. In fact, of all of the drivers I have come across, only a scant few are capable of excellent performance. Most s... | |
| Tweeter recommendation close to MDT33 We have two areas of disagreement, Carl. First, the easy one. The Morel 6" midrange used by Eggleston is polypropylene, not paper. No room for argument on that one. The second point is more a matter of opinion. In my experience, a $25 tweeter(such... | |
| homegrown price increase I am glad we have both discovered the Silver Lace, Hiflyer. I will start a thread on them in the Sound Advice category very soon. Please make sure to post your impressions. I discussed the RFI blockers in another thread, please check it out as oth... | |
| Tweeter recommendation close to MDT33 Morel drivers are reasonably priced. They are generally copies of Dynaudio drivers, sometimes with a few twists(like double magnets). The fact that the Morel name doesn't carry the Dynaudio cache, means you get to pay less. Sometimes MUCH less. Th... | |
| Hidden Audiophile Classics Francis Dunnery's "Tall Blond Helicopter". Doubt many will know about him, but he is THE best undiscovered star out there. Album, produced by Atlantic, is first rate in so many ways. If you want to hear a singer songwriter with cojones, this is th... | |
| speaker cable Try the Monster Retro stuff. The ONLY time you'll hear me recommend this company(unless someone is a mass-fi person). But when I heard it, the first thing that came to my mind was vintage McIntosh(tube). Exactly what you're looking for. Sunny and ... | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? I think you missed the point Jostler3. How could you go about "deciding what you like", without knowing that one thing sounds better(or different) than another? I don't rely on other people to do my hearing for me. I try my darndest to audition be... | |
| HomeGrown Audio Impressions Rcprince, could you please pass along a way I could contact Victor Goldstein. Just for future reference, if I ever need some service. Either here or TRELJA@aol.com. Thank you very much | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? I think the thing that we audiophiles should remember is that this hobby can be enjoyable. Really! I know first hand. It can be whatever we choose it to be. I seek my own pleasure from it, and do not worry what others believe(or hear) or don't. I ... | |
| HomeGrown Audio Impressions I feel the need to clarify my position on RFI blockers. I see they are becoming an item on their own. The RFI I was experiencing was a local radio station coming through my system when the volume of my amp(only when the tuner was selected) was tur... | |
| homegrown price increase Done, Kbuzz. | |
| do tubes rock ?? This amp is a dual rectifier, using 5U4s. As you probably know you can get single, dual, or triple rectifier from Mesa. You can even switch between tube or diode rectification. Have to say they are built and sound terrific. The interesting thing t... | |
| Percentage to spend on Amp and Speakers I think we are of the same mind Rayhall. The more I think about it, the more the idea of a system price tag repulses me. Example: I am going to build a $5000 system. Is that it? Do you then look at that as a commitment, like marriage? Breakable on... | |
| Coincident interconnect opninions Actually Leafs, I have thought about that a great deal. I currently have two Coincident power cords I am playing with, in addition to the IC. They are great for the money. Superior to Synergistic Research to me, for about the same money. I have a ... | |
| Percentage to spend on Amp and Speakers I think you should always try to buy the best(to you) you can. And buy things you will be happy with, isn't that the point of this hobby? As a rough guide, I think you start with your likes and dislikes. Include how you listen, what you listen to,... |
