| Anyone has heard the Bel Canto REFLink Asynchronou I have had the REFLink for about a week and a half and I'm pretty impressed. I've been running it 24/7 and probably still breaking in but in my system the improvement to stringed instruments has been significant. Sense of space has also improved a... | |
| Best AV receiver if I also want very good music? If you like the sound of Class D I recommend the Pioneer Elite SC-27. Clean, fast, dynamic with very good extension at the frequency extremes but does lack a little body compared to tubes or even Class A. I have one I was using between amp purchas... | |
| VPI Scout vs VPI Classic Vernneal it's a deal. But shipping is an additional $850. | |
| High-end amplifier clarification? Lrsky, you win. Pass Labs before marriage, receiver after. | |
| VPI Scout vs VPI Classic Thanks everyone for your comments. When I clamp a record down to my Scout via the VPI clamp and rubber washer I feel focus is pretty good but it seems some of the dynamics are reduced in the process, and the sound seems smaller. I can see where yo... | |
| Sibilance issues with vinyl rig To follow up on Markd51's comments I use a MintLP Tractor with my Scout, JMW9 arm and Dynavector 20X L cartridge. It's a very exacting procedure and takes some time to do it right but I have not had any of the issues the OP is having. I use the tw... | |
| dedicated power line Just to clarify the 15 amp vs 20 amp outlet, it's pretty easy to tell them apart by just looking at the front. Looking at the front of the 15 amp outlet you will see the two vertical slots and the round ground hole. With a 20 amp outlet there is a... | |
| Tonearm cable for VPI Scout JMW9 arm Thanks Stanwal. I've been down that path before many times just not with tonearm cables. My previous table had the cable as part of the arm so there was no changing it. Without getting into the "cables sound different vs cables sound the same" deb... | |
| Downsizing from Ayre MX-R monoblocks The Edge G3 is one of my favorite SS integrateds. Really floated images nicely particularly vocals, though I do not have first hand knowledge of synergy with Sonus Faber. I used with Mini Utopias with great success but ultimately preferred tubes, ... | |
| Tube amp to drive Tyler Decade D1's? I have been using the 50 watt Mystere integrated (KT88's) with the D2's for several days now and the sound is beautiful but I think the D2's really benefit from an amp that can take control of the woofers. I liked the Mystere on previous speakers ... | |
| Tube amp to drive Tyler Decade D1's? I have D2's arriving this weekend or early next week from Ty. I am currently selling a Mystere ia21 integrated (50 watts with KT88's) but am going to hold off on selling it until I have had a chance to try this amp with the D2's. D2's are 88 dB vs... | |
| Definitive Technology Mythos STS floorstanders I must have overlooked your room dimensions but personally I think 16'x10' may be a little too tight for the STS's, not sure though as I have not tried them in a room that size. In my living room home theatre system the bass control was set betwee... | |
| Definitive Technology Mythos STS floorstanders I also own STS's and purchased them primarily for home theatre purposes but have found them to be really good for music as well. Even though these are considered "lifestyle" speakers the same care is required in set up as any multi kilobuck "audio... | |
| Seas Excel Magnesium Drivers - Warm Sounding? StanwalThanks for your comments. I think your last sentence is basically my question but you said it better. I'm looking for comments from people that have this driver in their speakers. For example I know Joseph Audio uses the Seas Excel in many ... | |
| using high end speakers wit integrated recievers Normally I would totally agree with the previous posters on this one but recently I have had first hand experience similar to what you are asking. I have been using a Pioneer Elite sc-27 receiver which is the big brother of the receiver you mentio... |
