| Meadowlark Ospreys.. fighting under their weight class? Late to the party, but just happened upon your post here. I enjoyed a pr. of Pat's Osprey's for 8+ yrs, all the while bringing in occasional contenders just for comparison. Could never find a design that matched the quality of build and sound th... | |
| Comparative Thoughts - Merrill Audio Element 116 vs Veritas Class D Monoblock Amplifiiers Robust in the sense that all of the transient definition and overall frequency spectrum of the Veritas is given more presence through the 116’s. Its true that the 116’s offered a tighter punch in the lower frequencies (I ended up dialing out my su... | |
| VAC Signature MKiia SE vs standard MKiia Thought I would "bump" on this. Always helpful to hear experiential thoughts from the court of public opinion! | |
| VAC Signature MKiia SE vs standard MKiia Kevin and I have spoken regarding the upgrade (the improved input transformers used in the Statement Line, input signal routing and phono circuit layout enhancements, etc., and generally what one might expect in terms of sonic changes). Was just ... | |
| VAC Sig or Zanden 3100 knghifi: What would you say is the primary area of SQ improvement with the SE upgrade and what was the expense involved (of course, I could consult Kevin on this as well)? | |
| VAC Sig or Zanden 3100 Kevin has recommended the SE upgrade whole-heartedly! I wish we could afford, but slightly out of our budget. Perhaps if we went this route, we could consider a future upgrade. | |
| Problems with Audio Engine Support Finally received a response. Thanks for the above suggestions. | |
| Any experience with Thrax as a preamp? Had an opportunity recently to listen to the Thrax Dionysos in our system for a couple wks. Brought beautiful crystalline clarity in upper frequencies, very fast transient responses throughout. Nice boost/balance to mid-bass frequencies. Defini... | |
| Any experience with Thrax as a preamp? Hello Bob,Thanks very much for your response. You can find our system here: (https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/1518). The pics haven't been updated, but the component list is current. With the recent acquisition of Merrill's Veritas (class ... | |
| Any experience with Thrax as a preamp? I realize this thread is a bit old, but came across while perusing discussions on Thrax Dionysios. Also very interested, and curious if you ever had the opportunity to audition? If so, what were your impressions? | |
| Audioengine Speakers Screaming At Me Thanks, Oregonpapa. I'm definitely in contact with Audioengine, and hoping to get a response soon. | |
| Audioengine Speakers Screaming At Me I should add that these are approx. 3 yrs old, always left on, and have never been overdriven. | |
| NAT Symmetrical + Merrill Veritas Thanks, Mitch2. Yes, a bit tricky trying to find an NAT audition piece, as I know of only two distributors/dealers in the States, and doubtful they'd be willing to do so. It is for the same comparative sonic traits you mention that I felt the co... | |
| Hi Fi Zetta Too coincidental not to be one in the same. I called them on it after noticing the pics used were ripped from an Audiogon ad dated March 6, 2012. Asked for verification and original pics - never heard back. Anyone checking this site out, keep a... | |
| Hi Fi Zetta Just tossing back up to see if anyone's familiar or done business with this site. |
