| Spade termination for Vandersteen 2CE Signature ii How do those Audioquest spades fit on? I see no screws, but just threading on the inside of the collar. | |
| Differences between cd transports? Yeah, the much more recent models from Jay's are often compared to the CEC as a kind of benchmark. | |
| Hate to do this again. Start over. Class d Channel Islands? | |
| Why no Class D integrated love? (from manufacturers) Bel Canto?Rogue (hybrid)?I'm sure there are others; more out there than you might think. | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations I own the PMC Twenty.24 model, and find they throw an excellent soundstage and dig good and deep for their size. But then, my room is extensively treated with GIK Acoustics products. Have you thought about that rather than shelling out $$$ for w... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Hey, what about Bolet? I have a few recordings of him that I really like. | |
| Full Range under $5k-ish Limiting choices to that list, my top picks would be the Salk and the ProAc. | |
| Rogers Studio 1s vs. Harbeth SHL5 Plenty of love on here for the SHL5s, but you could also look at Graham and the Classic line from Spendor. Lots of options. | |
| Harbeth SHL 5 amplification Deja Vu in Washington DC sell Harbeth and also specialize in lots of low-powered tube gear (Audio Note, custom, etc.). Why not give them a call and see what they say will wake up the SHL5s? | |
| Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner?? Dark horses:Isotek Sigmas Evo3Lab12 GordianInakusti 3500(never look a gift horse in the mouth) | |
| Amplifier for Harbeth 40.2 Strikes me that one perhaps unusual feature of the Harbeth's is how they respond to lots of amps of different wattage. I'm sure they'd sound great with 600.8's; personally, I'd be much more curious to hear them mated with a XA25. | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? Audio Circle has a completely different feel to it. Certainly, the moderators over there (one per forum?) clamp down a lot faster on any nastiness, but then there appears to be much less nastiness in the first place. Chicken and the egg? | |
| Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid. Add Backert to the list. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Teed up for this afternoon is Ignaz Brull. Thank you, Hyperion! Concerto #1 kind of ho-hum. Some nice moments in the slow movement. The separate Andante rather better. Now the opening of #2 is quite stirring.And here's a related general obser... | |
| Amplifier for Harbeth 40.2 A whole lot of people have heard 40.2's at audio shows being driven by Vinnie Rossi L2 monoblocks, which are rated at 75/140 (8/4). All kinds of music used for demos. Many many plaudits and nary a criticism. That should put pay once and for all t... |
