| The Music Room FWIW: As audiophiles, we need to support "brick and mortar" audio stores, at least the legitimate ones. Otherwise they'll disappear. The problem with such places disappearing is that when they disappear, then the following things also disappear:... | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker Be careful with them. They're heavy as hell and easily damaged during shipping. Aerial Acoustics is a GREAT company, one of the best that I can think of. I've never heard the 10T's, so I can't comment or even speculate on how they might compare ... | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker Assuming you have ample power and current to drive them and assuming you have at least a decent (by audiophile standards) front end, then I predict you'll be flabbergasted by their magicality They do sound much better after about 1/2 hour of warm... | |
| Paul Weitzel from Tube Research Labs Rest in peace, Mr. Weitzel. I hope to meet you at some point in the future. | |
| New Forum Format Sucks It looks like they've deleted all the user reviews also. | |
| Bad news for audiophiles? It would be interesting to see the same study conducted on expert wine tasters. And to take the question even further, what would happen if these experts were told the prices, but THEN told that in some cases the lower priced wine was preferred by... | |
| Hostility from manufacturers It's no surprise that several other Odyssey Audio customers have IMMEDIATELY posted their own independent confirmation of the favorable Odyssey Audio comment posted above. I'll certainly echo the comment that Klaus is "genuinely one of the good gu... | |
| Hostility from manufacturers Never any hostility from Odyssey Audio and Klaus Bunge. I am the second owner of a pair of Odyssey Extreme Monoblocks. Klaus Bunge gladly transferred the warranty. Klaus Bunge has always, always, ALWAYS given me SPECTACULAR service. He has talked ... | |
| HiFiMAN HE-1000s. I am a beta tester for these. They arrived today and I have listened for a short while. Right out of the box they sounded good to great and seem to be opening up and sounding even better very quickly. I haven't been this stoked about an audio prod... | |
| HiFiMAN HE-1000s. MSRP ~ 3K, yes. | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? HiFiMAN HE-1000 planar magnetic headphones at Axpona. Astounding! Audiophile cliches are actually justified for these: "Game changers"LISTEN to these if you ever get the chance. | |
| Hey Elizabeth Where you be?? I miss her too. | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker Will have to agree with the statement that "Dale Pitcher Rocks" posted by Bob Heinatz on 10/19/14. I just finished another late evening music listening session (last disc, Crosby, Stills and Nash, so sweet) and am now heading off to a peaceful slu... | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker Cdc,That's a loaded question. I listened to one of the above brands at the 2007 RMAF, quite briefly. They sounded quite good. The room was full of fascinated audiophiles. The sound staging was very precise and the detail was superb. However, they ... | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker Glaucon,Thanks for the detailed response. (You--or any other Audiogon member--can certainly call me Bill, by the way.) It's enviable that you have an Essence amp AND preamp! So, here are some more bothersome questions:1) Are you running a subwoofe... |
