| REL Product Lines Primus Audio (an REL dealer) in Kansas City told me the Britannia had been or is about to be discontinued. Can't remember which he said. | |
| Amp recommendation for Tyler Sig. Monitor I heard the Taylo Reference with a PS Audio amp (not sure which one) and it was amazing. Lacked low end, but I don't know if that was due to the amp or the Taylos' woofers. | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? Sirspeedy, thanks! Will do on the Sason impressions.Howard | |
| Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ???? Albert, nice analogy with cables above. They all sounded ridiculous to me until I decided to listen for myself. As you may guess, I heard a difference with cables and tried probably 30 different cables over the last 5 years before finally finding ... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? FWIW, I was in Kansas City last week, and Al at Primus Audio was extremely gracious and allowed me about 4 hours at his place to hear some big-bang-for-your-buck speakers. Here are my thoughts on those speakers, as I wrote elsewhere...(BTW, the re... | |
| I hope break in is true Scott,There is a school of thought that it's your ears that get "broken in" rather than your equipment. Your ears get used to the sound and over time some of the things you don't like you won't hear anymore.Want to decide if "break in" or "burn in... | |
| Taylo Reference Monitor sound signature I heard these on some Cardas cables (Cross or Golden Cross, can't remember which) and they were nothing short of magic. | |
| Seeking hot running amps Parasound amps are known to run very hot. I read that of the older models a few years ago, so maybe they've cooled them a bit since then. | |
| i'm looking for a dull 12ax7 and 12au7, ideas? I've heard the older Mullard tubes are exactly as you describe. Learn the date codes, though, so you don't buy the newest versions, which are universally said to suck. | |
| Cable upgrade, please help audioquest Totally agree with Thorman. The price of original Poeimas have fallen to ridiculous levels (it's like gasoline, in reverse!) and you can snatch these up for peanuts. It's well worth your time and investment. | |
| Simple question? Many McCormack amp owners use a tube preamp and claim the combination has all the magic of an all-tube setup but the power and transparency of SS. I'm a SS kind of guy, so I went with the McCormack RLD-1 with my DNA-125, and the transparency and a... | |
| Audiosector Patek and Taylo Ref Monitors? I've heard the Taylo Reference Monitors with both PS Audio and McCormack equipment (100-125 watts of amplification) and they were amazing - a steal at their price point. You really need a sub with them, though. For some reason that Seas woofer jus... | |
| Double your pleasure with same cable throughout? I've tried "cabling out" my system with a couple different brands of cable, and found it was "too much of a good thing" in both cases. At the end of the month I'll try a third manufacturer's cables, and if those don't work out I'll likely go back ... | |
| Ridge Street Poeima vs. Silver Audio Appassion FWIW, the Poiema is great, and so are the Silver Audios. The SA's are faster, more open, and to say they are "bright" was not quite the right word in my system, but yes, they aren't laid back and "warm." When I think "bright" I think Nordost Red D... | |
| Review: REL Acoustics Britannia B-1 Subwoofer Nice review, Jimmy. Which Tyler speakers are you using, and where do you set your sub crossover point? Do you feel the REL or the Velodyne has an advantage over the other at higher XO points, say at 100Hz or so?Thanks!Howard |
