| Atma-sphere tube? I'd check with Ralph first. He's one of the truly good guys of audio and a real straight shooter. Hope you enjoy your MP3 -- I had one for a number of years and found it immensely musical and fleible. -- Bill | |
| Avantgarde dealers I believe Rhapsody in NYC is an Avantgarde dealer. Best system I ever had was Avantgarde Trios (with bass modules) and Lamm electronics (L2 Reference Preamp, ML2.1 Amps, LP2 Deluxe Phono) wired with Transparent Reference XL. You're in for a life-c... | |
| Modifying Sound Dynamics 300Tis Thanks very much -- I appreciate it. -- Bill | |
| suggestions on musical score. Unless you're comfortable reading music and willing to devote a lot of time to reading musical scores, I suggest you choose a concert by a first-class orchestra -- Lord knows we have several between Boston and Philadelphia -- and just go with an o... | |
| The Next Level But a shocking commentary on Audiofeil's profit margins. | |
| Buy tubes from Audio Research or not Just want to second Pubul57's recommendation of Roger Modjeski of RAM Labs -- I've been a customer of Roger's for 20 years and have never had a problem. (Kevin Deal's ads speak volumes about the proprietor.) | |
| Good impedance match for Atma-Sphere MP3? Essentialaudio (Brian?), I really appreciate your insight -- the fact that you're a dealer only adds credibility to your advice -- presumably you've heard the various amp-speaker combinations and know what works. I'd initially confused (cost-wise)... | |
| Good impedance match for Atma-Sphere MP3? Yes, Emaillists, I'd thought of the Atma-Sphere S-30 but was worried that it doesn't have sufficient oomph to handle the Sophia 1s. I suppose the best bet is to arrange an in-home demo (I find listening to equipment at audio stores too confusing).... | |
| Small, tube-friendly speaker suggestions needed Avantgarde Unos or Duos can be heavenly. Could be a celestial match with your 30-wpc push-pull amp. In all my years of audio madness, I rue most the day when I sold my Avantgarde Duos and Lamm triode electronics. | |
| Lector Digicode/Digidrive vs Esoteric and Cary? Aolmrd1241, thanks for your good advice, and best wishes of the Season. -- Bill | |
| Lector Digicode/Digidrive vs Esoteric and Cary? Aolmrd1241, that's really good to know -- I'll look into it. You don't happen to live in NJ, do you? I'd love to invite you and the beast over for a listen. -- Bill | |
| Lector Digicode/Digidrive vs Esoteric and Cary? Fsarc, thanks very much -- I'd overlooked the one-box EMM, but I definitely would like to audtion it -- looks like a contendah. -- Bill | |
| Lector Digicode/Digidrive vs Esoteric and Cary? Aolmrd1241, I owned and enjoyed a Wadia 861se a couple of years ago but sold it when it looked like the company might go under. Is this the unit you're referring to with the GNSC mod? Please tell me more. -- Bill | |
| Lector Digicode/Digidrive vs Esoteric and Cary? It takes the wisdom of others to help me ignore that little demon sitting on my shoulder. Thank you all for the proverbial and collective whack across the chops. | |
| What cartridge are you using with VPI JMW9 Seasoned, I have to correct a misstatement: my arm with the Clearaudio is a 10.5, not a 9 |
