| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Hi Everyone, first I want to say that I belong to many clubs and the audio people are, BY FAR, the most down to earth, genuine people I know. Of course there are exceptions to every rule and you know who you are, LOL.Seriously, you guys have made ... | |
| CES 2005 Initial impressions... Dave, the MBL 101Es ($45,900) really grabbed me. They had the dynamics from top to bottom that I have been searching for as well as 3-D imaging and a full bodied sound that kept me returning for more. Reed instruments and cymbals came through as r... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Hi Everyone. Just got back from visiting Pat in the hospital. Aside from looking like yesterday's corn and having more tubes coming out of him than a Rockport turn table with an air bearing tone arm, Pat is doing very well. The nurses have Pat wal... | |
| air tight atm-3 vs. berning zh270 There is a reason why the Berning holds its value so well...it WORKS. And works very well with the Merlin speaker. There are only one or two amps that would make me think about changing from my Bernings and at the price that these amps go for used... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Hi guys, here is a short note from Pat's wife Barb on how thigs went yesterday. There is nothing I could add to this succinct note. It pretty much says it all for now. I am sure Pat would appreciate any get well cards and letters from all of his p... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone This morning will bring more news for Pat. I pray it will be encouraging news.A more passionate or caring man I have not met. Pat has helped and encouraged me through a lot of audio trials. Thanks to Pat (and TWL and Cello) my analog journy is sta... | |

| Meitner DCC2 Hi Frank, I'm the guy that is the lucky owner of the system Lugnut is describing in his post. I have tried so many cables I own a cable burner,lol. Transparent and Harmonic Tech speaker cables were the last two SC's to be used. Both, of course are... | |
| Merlin Owner's... Bobby, even if your VSM-MX speakers were available only in primer flat chartreuse with baby crap yellow racing stripes, I would still have to have a pair. The sound is that good! The MX upgrade is everyhing I heard at CES this year. I could not be... | |

| Merlin owners,any thoughts....... What price range are you in Bob? | |
| Is the Berning ZH270 revalatory? To answer Mew's question, yes, without a doubt, this amp is in a special class that has very few members. My modded monoblock ZH270s are the first amp/amps that made my power hungry Salons sound like I thought they should. I was ready to sell the ... | |
| Best Tube Monoblocks for Revel Ultima Salons? I tried SF3's based on Greenhill's review. Not good to these ears. Very slow, dynamics were gone. ML 336...pretty good but the mids and highs just did not have the "magic". Tried several others(Pass, Sim).Rzemkoski's idea of tubes & SS might b... | |
| Do You Remember Your First Music Purchase? Herb Alpert "Whipped Cream". That naked girl with all that Cool Whip on her...well I was about 12. And yes I still have it. | |
| Anyone paired Lamm or Tenor with Revel Studios? Hi Kurt. Hi too have the Salons. I am sure the 75w OTL Tenors will not be happy with the Salons. They need a LOT of current!The new 300w intergrated Tenors should be great though. Tried SF 3's..too slow,boomy sound. Tried Levinson 336..OK but no r... |
