| Has anyone heard Fink Team KIM speakers? There have been some rave (press) reviews of the Kim. I am waiting to audition a pair, and recently auditioned a close competitor, the Marten Parker Duo.Here are links to a couple of the Kim reviews:https://www.tonepublications.com/review/review-t... | |
| What Amplifiers Have You Heard In Your System and What Amplifiers Will You Always Keep Not an exhaustive list, but the highlights have been:an early Bryston 4B (powered Magnepan Tympanis)Pass Aleph 3 ( the Sea Urchin; powered Dunlavy SC-III speakers)Jeff Rowland Concentra I (one of my favorites)Accuphase 303x (recapped and upgraded;... | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use I've been using a GATO AMP-150 for several months (it replaced a Hegel h160). A very nice, transparent amplifier. | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? Acoustic Zen and harmonic technology are extremely good cables that’s because they use OCC single crystal wire which is far superior to anything ofc on the market.I am definitely not a member of the Science! Police, however...If what you claim wer... | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? If you prefer Grey Poupon mustard to Safeway brand, and you can tell the difference, then by all means, get the pricier Grey Poupon...If you can't, you have a head cold! | |
| Felt Kuti for newbies Yes, my recommendation of the second (i.e. Expensive...) was also removed.Needless to say, the removal of posts containing the actual names of albums is ironic, to say the least. | |
| As you have moved on, are there any items you remember fondly...or most fondly? I certainly have fond memories of a system that included the original Bryston 4b, Magenpan Tympani I speakers, a Nakamichi 600 cassette deck, and B&O vertical tracking turntable. But my favorite of the classic components included in that syste... | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? That's an audacious display of cheapskatery!(Just kidding.) | |
| Is there a point of diminished returns with amps and Harbeth 30.1s? @jjss49 I agree. | |
| Is there a point of diminished returns with amps and Harbeth 30.1s? A straight wire with gain as Quad's Peter Walker once said. Didn't he also claim that he didn't need to listen to his amps? The measurements alone told him everything he needed to know.This is a view that most amplifier designers disagree with, n... | |
| Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ? I have absolutely no agenda, I simply want free speech to prevail.You don't understand how the market works. There are no free-speech guarantees on any private forums, including this one.You made numerous false claims in your initial post, so why ... | |
| Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ? @constitutionalistYour above post is breathtakingly ignorant.This commentThere is NO discussion in regard to vaccines, you either get one or you are banned from the forum.suggests clearly that you have an agenda, and no interest in facts. There ar... | |
| Is there a point of diminished returns with amps and Harbeth 30.1s? @cd318The problem with your perspective on this issue, one that, in my view, is shared by a good percentage of the HUG members, is that it is too rigid.Few would argue that anecdotal experiences are as broadly compelling as carefully executed, pub... | |
| Is there a point of diminished returns with amps and Harbeth 30.1s? @cd318This seems to be the main problem the anti blind listening test brigade have.Whoa there, big fella. You were well off-base in your original post re: the Harbeth User Group, as I noted above, and now you're sounding even more like you have be... | |
| Is there a point of diminished returns with amps and Harbeth 30.1s? I’ve never really understand the usefulness of blind tests. Do people actually know what they prefer in a short listening A-B session? I agree that this is potentially problematic, but to be fair, such tests are not about preferences, but differen... |
