| CJ PV14 or Audible Illusions Modulus 3A? I just purchased a used AI M3a here and it sounds phenomenal. I took the chance well aware of the problems everyone has with Art. Such a bummer. I saw somewhere that Ben Jacoby out of NYC does upgrades and repairs. I think I will go that route... | |
| sometimes you just need to tap your toes Ears:I just bought a Sony jukebox (400 cd's) so I could reexperience a bunch of my old CD's. It sounds like sh*t, but I am finding much enjoyment from all the old stuff. It is like listening to your own radio station -- everything that gets played... | |
| SF Line 3 vs. Rogue 99 I've only heard the 99. It was against a BAT 3i and the Rogue blistered the 3i -- made the 3i sound crude in comparison. Prior to that I auditioned a 66 against the 3i and would have rated them equal, although different. I bought the 66, but price... | |
| just hype? Sean: I hear where you are coming from as well. I particularly defended the Newform reviews because they were how I initially discovered Newform Research. They have been largely ignored by the mainstream mags (I believe Stereophile has some type o... | |
| Amp to match with Meadowlark Shearwater I've always heard that the Shearwaters were designed with tube amplification in mind. I heard them with a YBA integrated (SS) and they sounded wonderful. | |
| Speaker help please for $2000 US Olga - You definitely need some great speakers to get you through those long dark winters! | |
| just hype? My 645's are so good that I sold my Magnepan 1.6's. Sean, I'm in disagreement with your opinion about audioreview.com. While there can be some definite grade inflation by owners justifying their purchases, I think that it is hard to argue with the... | |
| Integrated amp for Magnepan 1.6QR? I would suggest that you head over to the Maggies Users Group (MUG) at a different site for some more inputs. All those "inmates" are very passionate about their Maggies and offer very good practical advice. Your other option is to get a pair of N... | |
| What about Meadowlark? G13: I believe Soundstage has a very favorable review of the Shearwater HotRod and says that the extra money is worth it. I was very impressed with the Shearwater but ultimately went with Newform 645's (very hard to beat the value gained by cuttin... | |
| Speaker help please for $2000 US I just replaced my 1.6's with a pair of Newform Research R645's. Both sound phenomenal with acoustic music. John at Newform is a great designer and I would recommend calling or emailing him. The 645's are $2265 delivered and you have a 30 day sati... | |
| Best speaker for rock music Well, do they have any California dealers south of San Jose? Heck, might as well drive to Boulder. Mike | |
| Best speaker for rock music Cornfed: I can't even find the Symbols on their webpage. Are these really new? Mike | |
| Best speaker for rock music Thanks for all the good responses. The Klipsch recommendations really hit home since my first foray into the audiophile game was a pair of Epic CF-2's and they did absolutely rock the house although they weren't the most refined things in the worl... | |
| Open Call To Arms I think there is probably more great music out today than ever, but finding it is difficult because of the sellout of most radio stations. Patricia Barber is great, Bela Fleck is phenomenal, Lyle Lovett and Sade's new ones, to name a few are all g... | |
| Which BAT preamp? I auditioned the BAT 3i v. the Rogue 66 and found them very similar - the BAT having a slightly better low end and an overall darker balance. I chose the Rogue based mostly on price. I then auditioned the same BAT 3i v. the Rogue 99 (next time to ... |
