| Preamp Deal of the Century The reason I'm responding is that I am the first poster to reach the 500 post milestone on this site, I think. Seriously Todd, I doubt if you are going to find a used Sarah with remote at much less than 3K but you will probably get a few extras in... | |
| AZ Satori vs. Audience AU24 Hi I recently acquired a pair of the AU24's based on what I read, it was the consistent description of their sonic characteristics by that caught my attention. All I can say is that they perform as advertised. I agree completely with Stehno and Bi... | |
| I need a female jazz vocalist. No Krall, No Norah Thanks Newbee that's it or was it Ema or Eva? That voice will sure test the high frequency response on speakers but I'm sure the recordings were probably compressed. | |
| What's the funniest or dumbest thing you did? The absolute dumbest thing was setting the speakers on the window sill of a 2 story apartment so it could be heard outside. Fourth of July party, playing some patriotic music loud when crash, no not a cymbal but one of the speakers falling 16' to ... | |
| I need a female jazz vocalist. No Krall, No Norah I also recommend Sarah Vaughn. If you want audiophile Sarah try the xrcd of "Send in the Clowns" and listen to her utilize her 4 octave range. This woman is just incomparable.Honorable mention include Ella (not too far behind though), Nina Simone,... | |
| Merlin TSM vs the other top monitors Eric, I am not going to comment on the TSM since I haven't heard them but have owned the VSM for over 3 years. What did compel me to respond was your comment about helping the little guy. What I have learned about audio since owning these speakers... | |
| Problems with my Berning ZH270 And one last thing George, if Allan hasn't talked you into the ERS as Khogugo notes, the cryoed 6jn6 outputs will move you up a notch but the ERS will just knock you out. It is the single largest improvement I have heard with this amp including va... | |
| SPeakers 90% of your sound S23chang, my home is quite humble as you note, sure isn't a mansion but will be a bit closer with the added space :) I am building it precisely because of reasons you state, I can't treat any other suitable room to the degree necessary to obtain t... | |
| Problems with my Berning ZH270 Hi George So the speakers are placed 1 meter from the back and side walls on the 4 m wall? Where is your listening position relative to the speakers? As Duke notes, if you position the chair against or close to the back wall, see if the bass comes... | |
| Problems with my Berning ZH270 Many have said the same Marakanetz, myself included when I first got my pair over 3 years ago. On the other hand many have ended up eating those words for lunch when they heard these speakers properly set-up. I know of several first hand. They are... | |
| SPeakers 90% of your sound S23chang My point is that on an absolute level the acoustic properties and dimensions of the room matters the most regardless of the obstacles in the way, WAF, dimensions etc. You can only get so much good sound out of a poor room regardless of tr... | |
| Problems with my Berning ZH270 George it sounds like you might have a room problem if you are getting brightness out of that amp with the Golden Reference cables and Joule LA-100. I'm sure it isn't the Electrocompaniet either. What are your room dimensions including height? Pos... | |
| SPeakers 90% of your sound Ah, to hear even a mediocre system in a great room would change many minds here. The room is without question, to my mind and experience the single most important factor in good sound. It will expose both weaknesses and strenghs of a system, as no... | |
| your favorite violin or fiddle cuts, and why? My very favorite is the Concerto for Violin/Viola by Mr. Mozart K 364. I have many recorded versions of this piece including the RCA Heiftez but my favorite was a live performance by a husband and wife team locally performed. It is just an extraor... | |
| Krell Master Reference Amplifier Hi CchpI would be quite surprised if some of the mega watt tube amps from ARC, VTL, Manley, Joule, Wolcott, CAT, Jadis (JA-800), Tenor hybrids wouldn't supply you with all the power you need especially if bass duty is being provided by the Krell. ... |
