| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge Downunder...I'm sorry if my enjoying expensive gear meltdowns apparently has upset you. Had I known there were those out there who's emotional investment in Beloved Audio Brands has rendered them so highly sensitive to my expressed enjoyment of re... | |
| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge This and the D'Agostino amp meltdown incident remain undisputed classics of the "Wheels Came Off But Otherwise It's Great" review niche. Rarely does extreme high end gear provide so much entertainment without having to listen to it. | |
| Which REL sub, R528 or B2 If he's kidding he's my hero. Really...it would be so cool. | |
| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge My Sumiko Pearl cost $125...so it's not that one. | |
| Which REL sub, R528 or B2 The Voodoo that he do so well. | |
| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge As a general comment, I still think genius exists more in the ability to make great things that aren't "cost no object" and work really well. I'm often stunned at how beautiful my analog rig sounds with great recordings...and the used Linn/Akito t... | |
| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge I have NOT heard the Anna. I have to use my imagination to construct its sound based on reviews and opinion. So far it sounds fine in my head but it does need VTA adjustment. | |
| Which REL sub, R528 or B2 I re-rest my case. | |
| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge I want to meet the "Friends of Anna"...who are these people? What do they look like? Where do they go after they're through with Anna? Do these people walk among us? What kind of shoes do they wear? Are their watches automatic? | |
| Which REL sub, R528 or B2 YEAH! So now the "Fast REL" contingent is leading in the total point score...this could be a win. | |
| Which REL sub, R528 or B2 Case reopened. My main speakers (Silverline Preludes) get thin around 50 and thinner around 40 (ignore the specs for these...they're kind of silly), so the REL sits at 50 ish with frequent level adjustments (a "chicken head" knob allows easy gain ... | |
| Need a very neutral interconnect- It is a connundrum...I have never been forgiven for rejecting a pair of Mogami XLR ICs (reduced my rig to sounding like hamsters squealing into a megaphone) as nobody else has ever had issues with them except me. I still get hate mail, sneers from... | |
| Need a very neutral interconnect- Ditto AQ stuff...Diamonback XLRs, King Cobra RCAs...even an inexpensive solid core something to my secondary power amp...all bought used and sound fabulous. Your results may vary, but beware of opinions on this stuff...except mine of course. | |
| Power conditioning / surge protection I've had an Adcom ACE515 since it was new (it's by far the oldest thing in my rig)...my systems have always sounded better with it than without it (I've tested this from time to time...my power amps, one main and one for rarely used outdoor speake... | |
| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge Fremer's a character, and his review is sort of a "comedy classic" for all the reasons described above. I have no idea how many extreme high end cartridges are sold but even in the Serious Audiophile world I assume very few...so it's all irrelevan... |
