| Electrostat - M-L; Quad or Soundlab - reliable I'll support the Acoustats too. Mine are modified Spectra 44. The panels themselves are very, very reliable. For those who think they have no resolution, I'll say better parts in the interfaces will heavily modernize their sound. | |
| Pass labs X-350 Love it or hate it There is so much good quality out there. Ancient and new. It is impossible to have heard everything, even less in different configurations. So people have a tendancy to prefer.....what they own. And they visit forums and read reviews in order to f... | |
| Unhappy with tubes so which transistor amp? OK, heres an uncommon one !Ive heard both amps in both set ups MrAcoustat is talking about. The Plinius is rich sounding but would be too laidback for what your tastes seem to be. Still a great machine. The Pass Labs X-350 is very powerful but a... | |
| Acoustat upgrade to Spectra 4400 They're done and finally in my listening room. All modern and higher quality parts in the interfaces, metal frame. Tranfos are also new so a break in period will be necessary but already the conversion is highly successfull. Thanks to Ed Johnston ... | |
| Thoughts on Coda gear? Any Coda owners out there? I own a Coda 11 that I use to drive Acoustat speakers. I'll abide by all comments made here. This one is a keeper. I would buy another one right now to try in monoblock configuration.No a lot of info is available on Coda and I think it is for one ... | |
| What to do next . . .? I will agree with most here, room is the key. Speaker positioning with enough "breathing" room is a must.Once you've decided where the system is going to be, I would advise to look over the power supplied to your system. Dedicated lines maybe ? Th... | |
| most articulate speaker Auralone,I own heavily modded Acoustat 2+2s. I've owned and still own cabinet speakers. I've heard many types of speakers in audio shows throughout the years. More recently Wilson Alexandrias on big band and symphonic orchestras at a private house... | |
| 12ax7's to roll I agree with Tomcy6. Have a look at this : http://www.audioasylum.com/scripts/d.pl?audio/faq/joes-tubes.htmlIf you are satisfied with the actual sound of the Rogue, you don't have to go for the most expensive tubes simply because you are curious.I... | |
| Acoustat upgrade to Spectra 4400 Thanks !Newbee, that's exactly what I expect. I have actually a sound that seems to come from the whole wall because of the high declining ceiling. It is a unnatural feeling to hear over dimensioned instruments or voices. But it is highly intoxica... | |
| Audible illusions Modulus 3A or Klyne 6L Thank you ! | |
| Audible illusions Modulus 3A or Klyne 6L Well, sorry for the misinterpretation or the bad choice of words but to convince people to look elsewhere is not and was not my intention. I also repeated many times it should not be a concern for people who do not mind using russian tubes on a co... | |
| Audible illusions Modulus 3A or Klyne 6L Where did I say it was a design flaw ? Did you read completely my posts ? You chose a design. On purpose. People buy it as it is. By choice. So what ? In which manner am I shaking all heavens here ?If you are aware of complaints then you admit inf... | |
| Audible illusions Modulus 3A or Klyne 6L People who own things will rarely accept that it may not be the best buy because they love it, and defend it because they chose it. It is a normal self esteem and pride behavior well known in all of us. I will not myself accept easily my gear beei... | |
| Audible illusions Modulus 3A or Klyne 6L Thank you Jerry ! It says it all ! Why to and when not to...Methodology, you now know everything you probably didn't know before. Take your pick !Regards ! | |
| Audible illusions Modulus 3A or Klyne 6L Yes,A couple of listening sessions at a local dealer plus one of my best buddies at the local audiophile club association in 2005 and 2006 had one. Heard it many times. Fine playing machine. I particularly loved its soundstage and overall 90's son... |
