| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear Actually plywood IS laminated wood sheets. There are just different quality levels (grades) and thicknesses of the sheets used. Certainly plywood used for roof sheathing or siding for a building structure is not of the same quality as cabinet grad... | |
| Supratek out of business? I still have the Syrah Samac. Not to say I haven't heard anything better but at considerably more; it is still an amazing piece at it's price point considering it includes a superb phono stage. Also the benefit of point to point wiring it is prett... | |
| Supratek out of business? I take it you guys never heard any of Mick's offerings, particularly at the price point. Too bad! Seriously though, I don't get your sarcasm, could you fill me in? I really am clueless. Does anybody really know what time it is, does anybody really... | |
| Beryllium Tweeters Yes Bifwynne, I totally agree. Unfortunately often times the victim is not the real culprit. I have read comments that the new DeCapo is bright and/or harsh. Nothing could be further from the truth in this case. Often times, I believe folks will s... | |
| Beryllium Tweeters The beryllium tweeter on the DeCapo is well implemented, no brightness or harshness but they were a bit bright when I first heard them and when I got them home. It was my impression at the time that it was a break-in issue and this has turned out ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? The 10.2 ohm source impedance is the thing to REALLY pay attention to when matching this amp to the appropriate speakers as Charles notes. That is a VERY high source impedance and would seriously limit the speakers it might be used with optimally.... | |
| REFERENCE 3 A SPEAKERS Hello Nyaudio98 I've noticed you've posted several threads going back a few years regarding Reference 3a speakers. It seems you are asking for the same information yet you're still not convinced. No speaker is going to be the same thing to everyon... | |
| Reference 3A De Capo BE Review "But the De Capo has the ability to present the complex rhythms and sonic textures in these songs as, for lack of a better word, integrated performances that make musical sense."So eloquently and clearly communicated Rebbi! Last night I was listen... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "P. S I don't have to imagine the Paramount in the 40's, I was in it then."Schubert I hear you, my father loathed him for exactly the same reasons you do and I certainly get the why of it but probably not to the same extent as someone who witnesse... | |
| Dan D'agostino Momentum Integrated amp I would only say this, if you are considering a 50K integrated why would you ask anyone for their opinion? In that price strastophere there is no substitute for listening first hand even if not with your speakers. On a further note before consider... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now Schubert I would only say this. Imagine, if you can, that you are a teenage girl and you and your girl friends are in the audience at the Paramount in the early 40's listening to your idol, Frank Sinatra swooning "Night and Day". Are you ever ... | |
| REFERENCE 3 A SPEAKERS To specifically answer your question Nyaudio98 I would say the Decapos have outstanding soundstaging, when properly set-up and excellent imaging. There are many monitors that image well, so nothing too special there but their soundstaging is very ... | |
| REFERENCE 3 A SPEAKERS A speaker should well, speak to you. The Reference 3a Decapo does just that, at least to me. I wouldn't say they are the absolute smoothest monitors I've listened to, maybe the lack of a crossover, just a blocking cap to the tweeter contributes to... | |
| Reference 3a speakers and tubes Ralph, you ought to hear for yourself firsthand. A mutual love affair with OTL amps. | |
