| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @prof:“I understand you aren’t a Magico fan boy, so I wonder why you seem fixated on the magico post given I hadn’t detailed associated equipment in all the previous speaker impression posts?”Simply because this brand, for better or worse, has a r... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @ prof: As loudspeakers don't operate in a vacuum, I'd reiterate that system context is key towards determining the validity of your observations. To that end: "So let’s start with the source, preamp and amp. What were they and why do you feel yo... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Interesting stuff Prof...but your conclusions about the Magico are based on one audition without any consideration given to the fact that the upstream components might have some small effect on the sound.I’m no Magico fanboy, but come on. Really? ... | |
| Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? I disagree with ebm. The cabinet isn't great either. | |
| Clayton Audio Class A amps. Need amp advice Zd542: brilliant post(s). You're not just right, you're exactly right. Thank you. | |
| Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers There's no need for anybody to wait for any article. There's no "mystery" here. You will prefer the Pass to your Bryston. It's not that Pass Labs makes a great amp...it's just that it's good enough to outperform the Bryston. You've got such good s... | |
| Considering Beveridge, your opinion please. The Beveridge speakers were hardly world beaters when they came out, to say nothing of how they'd stack up to the best now. Original, yes. Great, no. Let it, and them, go. | |
| Is computer audio a bust? "Please explain in detail. G."Guido, Cerrot has asked me to ask you to "shut up." He would have asked you himself, but he cannot spell "shut up." | |
| Distortion with ARC Ref 150 and Maggie 3.7 "If you were me, which do you prefer?"Good question! Both are really fine options. I really like the idea of trying the Jensen transformer as a stop-gap. Jensen makes really good transformers and this option might work sonically. Might.If forced t... | |
| Distortion with ARC Ref 150 and Maggie 3.7 If you plan on keeping the CAT SL1, buy the CAT JL5 amplifier. If you plan on keeping the ARC Ref 150, buy the ARC Ref5SE preamp. | |
| Beloved? Grimace, are you suggesting that a girl can serve as a substitute for a speaker or can somehow be better? | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE "Those that don't swap gear will NEVER EVER understand those who do."I'm one who doesn't understand...but I still really enjoyed your post and the several interesting points you made/addressed. | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Gentlemen, gentlemen, please...no need to bicker. The speakers both suck, they just happen to suck in very different ways. I hope that this serves to calm these turbulent waters. | |
| Mixing Atma MA1s with solid state. Maybe you can explain this Ralph: you make output transformerless amplifiers, obviously believing eliminating the output transformer yields great sonic benefits. Then you recommend Zeroes be placed in the signal path between amplifier and loudspea... | |
