| Is there an alternate to Martin Logans? Oh the Aerius "Do I love them, do I not?" I would suspect that you have come to the same conclusion that most have concerning those speakers, dynamics and bass are missing in action. Regardless of how many times you listen the conclusion is the sa... | |
| TUBE or SS? I agree with Tom. I think it is a general misnomer to categorize tube amps as missing in action in the bass department. Agreed that generally solid state has a tendency to have better CONTROL but tube amps DO have a tendency do articulate the timb... | |
| Argent Room Lens Tom I sure would be interested. Could you please post advice on building the lenses or E-Mail me Thanks Will | |
| Most detailed speakers in 1K range? Ditto on the Merlin TSM-SE | |
| Audio Research LS vs SP? Cobra95 so far as what combination is right, it is hard to make a recommendation on an amplifier without knowing what the rest of your system is and how much power you need. I definitely prefer the ARC tube amps over the D200 which is a solid stat... | |
| Audio Research LS vs SP? The SP series are full function pre-amps manufactured by Audio Research from the 1970's through the late 1980's. They all have a phono stage. The LS series are line stage only pre-amps from the early 1990's to the present. If you have a turntable ... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music This was definitely from his 1st solo album. As a matter of fact I saw Carmen in Concert in I believe 1972 (Spectrum Philly) after he left the Rasberries in what was his 1st solo tour. That is when I first heard him perform the piece and noticed t... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Thanks Hcfolm & Timwat I was always curious about those details since it was so obvious the melody was the same almost verbatim . Now Timwat you have me confused somewhat. You have stated he lifted the music from the 2nd Concerto not the Symph... | |
| Most Honest Audio Magazine? With reference to which audio magazines are most honest, I find it difficult to rate any one magazine more honest than another. It is more important that the writer accurately conveys the virtues or shortcomings of a product being reviewed. While ... | |
| The Best Audio Dealer I met John of Audio Connection several years back at a Stereophile show in Miami. He seemed very knowlegable, congenial and friendly. We spent some time together going to different exhibits. I got his card since I was in the market for (whatever i... | |
| Different & inconsistent sound quality I experience the same thing. Lots of microwave energy where I live (near Cape Canaveral, KSC) also there is more active radio interference during the day than late in the evening or early morning. Without some type of filtering there isn't much yo... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Wrong on 2 counts on that last post. The Eric Carmen song is "Never gone to fall in love again"? at least that is the lyrics used and the music is from the 3rd movement -Adagio of Rach's 2nd Symphony. Still, anyone know if he gave himself credit f... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music For those interested Rachmaninov's 2nd Symphony (2nd movement) was also performed by Eric Carmen "All by myself" it is a beautiful piece. Does anyone know if he gave himself credit for the music? | |
| BEST TURNTABLE AT COST NO OBJECT Atkinson is really the ONLY reason I have continued with the subscription although I do enjoy MF, since I still listen to vinyl and am interested in what is going on with analog. Reviewing all analog gear and the set-up involved is a quite formida... | |
| Speakers: all-time worst Pops I remember well the Polk SRS/SDA from the 80's and could not disagree with you more! Their bad rap is well earned. The bass on that speaker was horrendous and really overpowered the rest of the frequency range. Tonal balance was all wrong. Re... |
