| Why does better power = better sound? Rower- I need you to clarify something and I'm not busting your chops in asking this: if the power supply in a component is less than perfect, wouldn't it be affected by the power that is delivered from the wall?Thanks in advance.(and no agenda on... | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please Philip: not sure I have much more to add, since I don't know what amps would sound best with your MLs. (I used stats exclusively from around 1974 until 2005 so i know why you like them, I do too, but I don't know what amps work and sound best with... | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please Hi, Charles, yes, I heard the first generation of it in my system, however, the later version to my ears, using the DR version of the 6H30 tube is substantially better. I am unclear whether the OP was looking for a line stage or a full-on preamp t... | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please Philip, i think so much is dependent on the other pieces in the system that any absolute ranking is not going to be terribly meaningful. I think you do have to hear these things in your system, which, from what I gather, is not easy for you to do?... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 I was the one that raised the question of system synergy, given some of the diverse descriptions of sound, from too much leading edge, to dark and dead. I don't own an AC table; I'm using the Kuzma XL and Airline and am not promoting that either (... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 I hate to interject subjective, 'system-dependent,' synergy-type thinking here, since despite my subjectivist leanings, I tend to think of turntables in terms of accuracy, speed constancy, low noise and neutrality, but is some of the difference he... | |
| Subwoofers for Stacked Quad ESL 57's I think if I include an email in the message they block it. That's why you didn't receive it. My media website is flyingreptilemediagroup if you go there you can email me from there. What a pain. It is not like I am trying to deprive the Gon of a ... | |
| Subwoofers for Stacked Quad ESL 57's Rmarcus - I sent you a PM, please let me know if you got it.Best, | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 I don't think getting a projectable sample is of any value here guys. I think you have to put these units in the system in question, and live with them for a while. That's the only way. Expensive, perhaps, but if Maril bought a good MS, and got Je... | |
| Subwoofers for Stacked Quad ESL 57's I experimented years ago using a single pair of the old esl, decca ribbons, and could not get a conventional woofer to blend well. There is a possibility that you could use a planar type woofer- years ago, HP had Tympani bass panels with Quads, I ... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 I have no dog in this fight, other than that I'm sympatico with the OP because we share certain system attributes. I don't doubt Pani heard what he heard and will admit that the only time I've heard the AC table (I think it was the Black Knight) w... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Jaspert raises a real point here: short of setting up several tables in the same system, using identical arms and cartridges, it would be impossible to discern these differences in any absolute way. I suppose that if you heard some of these same t... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Maril: I can't answer your question, because I have no hands-on experience with either table. I'd also ask about the 8000, and there are a few owners of both Micro Seiki tables here who could tell you the differences. They would seem to be tweakie... | |
| Best Electrostatic loudspeaker? Wilfredt- Sarcher has some Sanders or the earlier version, I forget the name. You might look at his system and ping him. I started with 'stats back in the early 70's and could never find midrange comparable on other speakers, but using the origina... | |
| Preamp with quality MC phono section I think your starting list is a very good one, and you've gotten some thoughtful input (no pun) from others as well. Much is going to depend on synergy with the rest of your system. I was trying to get the VAC Sig IIa for a listen in my system rec... |
