| What speakers match well with Atma Sphere? One more vote for the Coincident Eclipse. Although the Victory line is in my opinion superior, I feel that the Atma-Sphere amps mate better with the Eclipse. | |
| Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers? Listen to them before you buy. I heard them and was not too impressed and neither was the dealer who was showing them.However, the problem may have been an issue of a less than ideal amp for the speakers. I plan to hear them again with different a... | |
| PassX1 with black power supply vs Chassis supply I auditioned the X1 with an X250 at a dealer showroom. When I asked the dealer the very same question, I was told that the only differences were cosmetic. | |
| The best audiophile "gag" gift for X-Mas You guys used the chip wrong. It works great if you meditate while standing on your head prior to placing it wherever you are supposed to place it. | |
| Myth: low-power high-efficiency I was discussing this subject with someone last week. I made the point that that there are a small handful of SET amps which have that dynamic energy. And where this is derived is in the power supply of the amp. But few SETs have a robust enoough ... | |

| VTL, CTC, Lamm, ARC, EAR, Halcro, Mark Levison The Lamm L2 is solid state. It is the power supply that is tube regulated. | |
| Anyone heard Zu Druid speakers? I heard the Druids last week at my local dealer. They sounded ok but I felt the tweeter seemed to draw attention to itself (in a big way). I was expecting a lot better given the rave reviews.They are sensitive so perhaps the amp being used was not... | |
| Bitstream DAC won't lock onto CEC transport Did you call John Wright? He may be able to help.BTW you have a fantastic dac. Hope you find the problem. | |
| Is a dedicated transport justified? Buy a Theta Data II transport for $400 on the 'gon. It will be the best $400 you will ever spend.I have always heard differences between transports. This one is unbeleviable for what you pay. | |
| Mint Condition, Doesn't Anyone Know What It Means I have a customer who refers to cars he is buying or selling as "triple mint". I guess that means they are three times better than mint. Or mint, mint, mint. Really, its mint. Honest. I kid you not. Cracks me up. | |
| Backwall wall behind my back treatment. --"Your brain cannot tell he difference between the direct and reflected sound if the wave path distances are virtually the same."--This is true. However, certain frequencies may sound louder at room boundaries. I had this issue in a previous list... | |
| Black Gate Cap upgrade on Museatex Bitstream DAC A word of caution. The dac is unlistenable for two weeks after the new caps are put in. I would advise against even listening to it until after this point. After that, you'll have one of the finest dacs out there. | |

| The Night Air Here's a little piece of useful info. Ever notice how things sound on a misty or foggy night? Turns out that if you spritz your listening room to make the air a little more moist, the sound will improve. The denser the the medium, the faster sound... |
