| Marantz SACD Oh and I meant to ask about the filtering capabilities of the SA-11S1. Have you used those and what were your experiences? Thanks. | |
| Marantz SACD Thanks a lot for that reply Bigtelco. Your reply is useful on a number of fronts. You directly compared with the Krell and MF on SACD, two other players I was considering, and I'm glad to hear that you prefer the Marantz. Have you compared your Ma... | |
| Musical FidelityWhich Integrated is best value? Of the MF integrateds, the Nu-Vista M3 is the best value. Several up recently for sale on the Audiogon in the 2000 dollar range. I own the Tri-Vista myself and it's fantastic. A better amp for certain than any of the McIntosh solid state integrate... | |
| B&W N802 vs FOCAL 937Be I've heard them both and like them both. I think the 937's approach the Diva Utopias pretty closely. The 802s are very nice as well. It's a tough call. I'd take the 937s because I prefer the Beryllium tweeter and I like the bass better on JM Lab s... | |
| APRIL MUSIC EXIMUS- HOW GOOD IS IT?? Eximus and Stello are two different lines by the same company, April Music. both are superb. I've heard the Eximus transport briefly at a shop about two years ago and was impressed. But I haven't had a chance to do an extensive audition with it. O... | |
| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value Thanks Holenneck for sharing that link to the Wilson business program. I filtered out all the business crap and just listened to what Wilson had to say. He said some very interesting things. He pays full benefits to his employees. He doesn't like ... | |
| Altos or Utopia I've heard the Utopias in a shop and thought they were superb and powerful, but I ended up buying the Altos because of the beryllium tweeter. I think the older line Utopia series is excellent. I've also heard the Mezzos, but the new series is real... | |
| JM Lab Alto comments please I own them and love them. I can see why some people might be disappointed in the bass delivery, but I recently hooked up some PAD Dominus power cables to my digital players and the bass comes out of the Altos now like a heard of thundering cattle ... | |
| Chinese Loudspeakers ARE GOOD Most Americans should be happy that China is keeping the US afloat by buying its enormous national debt. | |
| Using US plug power cables in 220V Shuko areas Thanks a lot for all the tips here. Just a couple of addenda: I live on the second floor of an old house--it's a converted apartment. I don't have access to the breakers and I hesitate to take apart these rather old wall outlets to insert a US mad... | |
| W and M Interconnects This is a bit like posting a movie review without yet having watched the movie, but rather because one found the producer and director to be very nice people who would answer any and all questions by a journalist and occasionally hook them up with... | |
| Popping from right channel of Musical Fidelkw500 Probably a bad tube in the right channel. I would probably look into having it replaced. You might want to contact Signal Path in North Carolina on this. | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? I'm going on two weeks now on these Aqueous Anniversary interconnects and speaker cables. They keep getting better and more revealing all the time. The music is revealing details that I don't recall on previous listens. This is a terrific set of c... | |
| Who is a big high end cable manufacturer "Music appeals to the heart...the emotions, not the intellect."It appeals to both. There is no qualitative distinction. Sensual experience in the hearing produces thought, no less than an idea.I was originally in the same camp as those who say "wh... | |
| Paging all JM Labs Alto Be owners Seoul, Korea. There is indeed a Chapter Audio distributor here. Someday, I'll check out their gear. |
