New Spectral CDP delayed?
while they implemented the new Spectral player… did they admitted what was wrong with the Spectral 2000/300 combination? Because if the new model would be “based on the success of the previous model” then it looks like each listener of the New Spe... 
OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything?
*** His opinion is that nothing compares to them for clarity, naturalness and superiority in just about every area. They do have some very specific and very limited qualities that are attractive but mostly the “attractive qualities" get overwhelme... 
Mark Levinson 31.5 vs. CEC TL0 MK2
I am nor offended at all. I even accept it as a compliment. The last time I had the same compliment was when an Army’s drill sergeant told me that I am idiot who is so stupid that I am not qualify to serve in his squad… 
DCS Verdi Elgar Purcell VS. Audio Aero Capitole
DCS never was top 16-bit digital. It has better publicity, more BS-presents in the audio propaganda but performance wise it sit somewhere at the very mediocre Wadia-Levinson level. As usually, it has that glitzy but dry impressiveness meant to ele... 
Haggemann phono preamp?
Rockinroni, be VERY careful when you refer to the reviewers who write about the phonocorectors, cartridges, arms or TTs. (the analog gear in particularly) Even a VERY limited percentage of them who accidentally knows what they do are still (in con... 
Setting VTA on a new Shelter 901?
Viridian, I do not think you disagree with the “imagingability concept” but rather you’re trying to expand the said. Yes, at the correct VTA setting the surface noise become the orders of magnitude less annoying but this it not a reason but a cons... 
Setting VTA on a new Shelter 901?
Primary by “imaging” (it very loaded word), x-force generating, dynamics, some dynamic qualities of dynamics, articulation, musical accents, musical time distortions and so on. Do not forget that when you balance VTA tonally you make your cartridg... 
Setting VTA on a new Shelter 901?
Noel,901, apparently due to its geometry, is very sensitive for VTA. The people who report opposite are just have low discrimination playback systems or hearing. The 901 yields the best result around 1.7-1.9 and for each mass it would require own ... 
lamm ml2 with wilson watt 6 or 7?
Mitch, ML2 are wonderful amplifiers but I think they greatly misunderstood. To use them with all those Kharmas, Wilsons, Utopias and the rest of those sub 95Db sensitive speakers is to greatly limit the ML2’s capacity. (Good luck to find a stock w... 
Mark Levinson 31.5 vs. CEC TL0 MK2
Hey, Nut.Who said that English is the only *something* that your multiple-choice awareness is capable to understand? Coherency is a subject of your unfortunate *ad homonym* perception only and if you suppress a Language inside the limitations of y... 
Eidolon vs Opus
And since then Kharmas have anything more or less listenable under 70 Hz. No wonder that their Ceramic 3.2 are this best sounding model and all their larger models (more bassy) are just a pile of audio junk. 
Mark Levinson 31.5 vs. CEC TL0 MK2
Piet,Levisons transports, although they incontestably more interesting then their CD players but still are very ordinary sonically. Their most expensive model is more amusical then CEC’s TL1 (that is not very good transport to begin with) TL0 is t... 
Lamm LP2 Deluxe vs. Manley Steelhead
Well, Hagtech, let me to do some untypical for the felines barking…You papers are fine (although I would add a paragraph dedicated to impedance loading in case of a step-up is in presents). However, these papers are mostly worthless for an average... 
Lamm LP2 Deluxe vs. Manley Steelhead
*** I suppose there is (some?) degradation…I suppose to you were ably to detect, filter out and interpret those degradation*** honestly, it's hard to see how much there is given the quality of the phono stage. What dose it mean? Manley uses low ga... 
Lamm LP2 Deluxe vs. Manley Steelhead
I would like do not comment on Lamm/Steelhead sonic qualities but I would like to point out that the “flexibilities” that you pointed out hav a dark side. (Not to mention all those unnecessary in a serious phonocorrector volume controls, mono swit...
