| Is the Berning ZH270 revalatory? Mew: I am glad to read your response to my concerns, and to be assured that they were groundless. Just to be clear, I'm in complete agreement with Allanbhagan and 84audio that no forum protocol is broken by putting in a good word for a dealer if s... | |
| Is the Berning ZH270 revalatory? 84Audio: Thanks for your thoughtful words. I want to reiterate that was never, and am not, in any way skeptical about the quality or performance of the Berning amps. I have absolutely no reason to be, and plenty of Audiogon commentary from members... | |
| PCM or Bitstream Ha! In light of subsequent answers, mine shows just how familiar I am (not!) with multichannel, HT, pre/pro's, and all that jazz. Maybe one day I'll even buy myself a DVD player and join the modern world...Right now, I still think my naivete is mo... | |
| Is the Berning ZH270 revalatory? Patrick, as I said, my post is not intended to comment one way or the other on the Berning product. It's just that as a regular member of the discussion forum, I resent it when our Audiogon gets infiltrated with the kind of postings this one appea... | |
| Thiel 3.6's - Stereophile measurements Jazzdude: JA has acknowledged that these response measurements obtained for spaced-driver first-order speakers, such as the Thiels, are the predictable result of his limited distance mic placement.Dan: You've been busy...I didn't know you had gone... | |
| PCM or Bitstream That player of yours must have two sets of DAC's inside it (on two chipsets, or both on one? I don't know). If the sound is not different enough to detect to your ears in your system, then I wouldn't worry about the choice. Another way to look at ... | |
| Can you help with this problem? Ben - You say it's not the speakers because you've 'swapped them over'. If this means that you physically moved the speakers each to the other side and the problem remained on the left, then you are correct. But if this means that you only swapped... | |
| Is the Berning ZH270 revalatory? I have nothing negative - nothing at all, in fact - to say about the Berning amp, being as I haven't heard it. I'm just posting, as is my custom when circumstances dictate, to note for the record that our thread-head Mew has no other threads or re... | |
| Digital as good or better than YOUR analog? I agree with Bomarc and Ptmconsulting (okay - Bob). We're at the point where, given decent gear for both anolog and digital playback, the mastering and manufacturing quality of the software is often the larger determinant in terms of ultimate soni... | |
| Thiel 1.5's vs, 2.2's? Any thoughts? Neither of those speakers should present any problem for your amps to drive as such, but you should inform us of the room dimensions and listening position configuration. I own the 2.2's, and these are more extended in both directions. Any Thiel i... | |
| New Damper material "Pork: The Other Audio Feet"Hey, if you think it sounds good when encased inside a plastic-baggie condom, I hear it's out of this world when supporting your gear bareback - something having to do with the reckless thrill of risking giving your rig... | |
| Shielding questions from a neophyte Although I don't believe that what you heard upon turn-off would have anything to do with speaker shielding or lack thereof, to address your general question, speaker shielding is done to protect nearby TV screens from visual interference caused b... | |
| Better than KT-88s? Ouch. Thanks - you don't happen to recall what they liked best of the new production, do you? | |
| Better than KT-88s? Budrew: For both 6550 and KT88, what were the preferred tubes in that test and why? | |
| Meadowlar Osprey...How does it sound??? I think I was misundertaken...Sedona, you didn't have to 'defend' yourself; I wasn't trying to attack you. Maybe *I* didn't understand *you* correctly, but it sounded to me like you had something specific in mind, still first-order. I thought you ... |
