| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? I listened to the LaScala's at CAF. On the day in that room their spectral balance seemed a little tipped up to me, and overall they didn't sound quite as warm as I, personally, like in a sonic presentation. I gather there are a number of profes... | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report I was perplexed by the Odyssey Kismet Liquid's. At the end of day 2, I thought they were sounding very promising indeed. I couldn't find anything really to criticize. On the morning of day 3 I returned, hoping to confirm my previous impression ... | |
| ... what is Settling Time in cables and interconnects... If burn-in by manufacturers works, then the positive effects must last several days to allow for shipping.I don't think you need to worry about minutes or hours or even a couple of days.Once any cable is physically moved, it needs a little time to... | |
| Clear difference between Harbeth 30.2 & Super HL5 Plus? Have you listened to them?Looking at specs (size of cabinet, bass extension), I think you'll see partially why. The 30.2 is their top-of-the-line true monitor. But all I know is that at CAF, driven by a large Rogers tube integrated, they could r... | |
| Speakers positionning Moral of the story: individual speakers vary a great deal, rooms vary a great deal, interactions between the two vary a great. So, it's best to keep an open mind and experiment as much as possible, even with "unconventional" configurations. | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report They were running on an 8-watt 300B amp from Modwright. Just like my Proac Response 2.5's used to run on an 11-watt 300B amp from Cary. The bass was really there, from what I heard this morning. If you don't mind giving up those last couple of ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Just got the Igor Levit, "Life" CD on recommendation from here. I'm loving it (disc A). Superlative playing and some the best recorded piano sound I've heard in a while. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Igor Levit, "Life": superior piano sound and playing. | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report Wrapping up. Day 3,fatigue beginning to set it. Returned to hear the Odyssey Kismet Liquids (did anyone else try these), and this time round I couldn't stay long--once again volume set too high, and the highs in the recording were very strident.... | |

| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report @bigkidz I was there, though fairly briefly. What I heard was very impressive, everything obviously on a very large scale, but because (a) they were well out of my price range, and (b) you clearly would need a very big room to do justice to those... | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report DAY 2 OK, first, I’m now ready to nominate my joint best of show: Daedalus Zeus, and IMC Audio Forty-10. Also, my joint best value for money of the show goes to: Salk Song3 BE-AT, and Odyssey Liquid. General observations. Nothing new here. Th... | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report OK, added to the remaining list--I'll be here tomorrow morning, and so far Odyssey and now Triangle Art are on the playlist... | |
| Anyone have an experience with Belles Aria preamp & mono amps vs. tube integrated ? @jenney No I don't really miss the Rogue. In the world of tube amps, it certainly wasn't the "tubyest", and frankly the Arias are very sweet sounding. They won't be mistaken for pure class A SET, but they are very good and punch well above their... |
