| coincident speakers do you have troubadors Israel Blume, "I have a folder which contains every email sent to me within the last 3 years with my replies to them. There is not a single one that did not receive a timely response to an inquiry."Based on Horsnit not getting a reply to his Troub... | |
| coincident speakers do you have troubadors Thanks, but the statment I wouldn't sell them for 10X what I paid for them just means they're not for sale.Apart from matching the veneer, building a Troubass would be relatively straightforward and simplistic for any cabinetmaker of moderate abil... | |
| coincident speakers do you have troubadors I have a pair of Coincident Troubass. They serve as the stands for my Digital Masters, kind of like the Wilson Puppies sitting under the WATTs. The Troubass perfectly match both the Troubador and Digital Master, and make the appropriate stand for ... | |
| Coincident Eclipse vs Devore I own a pair of Coincidents, and am familiar with many of the other models. In addition to that, I have a local DeVore dealer, and have spent a fair amount of time listening to them.For one, the Coincidents are far easier to drive. No question abo... | |
| nobody talks about BAT anymore? I count myself among the many, many, many here who love Marty's (Viridian) posts! He always lends an incredibly funny and witty perspective to things, and he's as knowledgeable as any audiophile I know.Please try to see the humor in what he posts.... | |
| The Economy.. will hi end audio mfgs lower prices? That idiot dilletente owner of my Philadelphia Eagles made the list of billionaires this go 'round, with the description "self made" no less. I guess mom buying you a football team with that Harcourt Brace money qualifies as being self made in thi... | |
| EL 34 vs. KT 88 ---- What's the difference? My Granite monoblocks took both the KT88 and EL34. I could never get them to sound right with the EL34, and am pretty sure it was an issue of bias, though I didn't pursue it too much.My Jadis DA30 and DA60 integrateds can also use either, and I st... | |
| Please disclose your commercial affiliation This has brought up any number of times here on Audiogon, and I've always been for full disclosure. So, I'm with you.Most of the problems here are seen when dealers push a product when someone asks for advice or a recommendation without mentioning... | |
| Jadis DA60 I used to own an Orchestra Reference, and currently have a DA30 and DA60. In my experience, in addition to being some of the most glorious sounding components, Jadis integrateds are as reliable as anything on the market. In fact, in my system, the... | |
| Fedex minimum insurance for special handling I've shipped a lot of stuff via FedEX, with the default value of $100 up to maybe $20K. I've never found the insured amount to have any bearing on anything that happened in terms of the shipment. | |
| Speakers as diving platforms? Paulfobrecht, congratulations on the birth of John Paul! Sooner than you can imagine, he'll be diving off those ANs of yours.The only thing that can be said about climbing up on the speakers and diving off is, boys will be boys. | |
| Differences in tubes. I'm not a fan of the 6550. At worst, it's a cold, harsh sounding, clinical tube. At best, it sounds relatively warm, yet flat and uninvolving.I should say that my experience with the KT77 consists of the JJ and Shuguang varieties, and not the clas... | |
| is audiogon good for the audio industry or bad? Overall, I think JD and Sns make some very good points.We live in an age where we can research product in ways we'd never dreamed about 15 years ago. Likewise, we have access to that equipment, so, on a certain level, I agree with the statement of... | |
| Fed Ex Ground Shipping Woes I've shipped a boatload of stuff over the past couple of years. Previously, my experiences with FedEX Ground were horrific, so when I began this new journey, I used UPS. 2 of the approximately 15 shipments I made were damaged. A friend told me to ... | |
| So Much "Harshness" In my opinion, in the majority of cases these days, the cause of harshness is the loudspeaker drivers and crossovers. Especially, when used with tube amplifiers.Drivers exhibit rising impedance as frequency increases as a function of the voice coi... |
