| Need a review of Tyler's Ref 3's, Thanks. Honestly i've not heard a 3 way that i liked, 30 yrs experience. However the Tyler 3 way does not use a midrange, but uses the W17 as a midwoofer. A driver i love the character of. But thinking things over this afternoon looking at Tyler's... | |
| Your best picks for 2006 Best Speakers under 4K. Well thats because most speakers under 4K do not have a 10 inch woofer. So I figure for any speaker to go as low as 35, there should be a 10 inch woofer in the box. Correct? Or can you show me a 8 inch woofer that can go as low as 35 hz, yet with ... | |
| Your best picks for 2006 Best Speakers under 4K. Tvad I would expect if someone is paying 3 or 4K for a speaker, it should be go as low as 30 hz. I wanted to keep the price reasonable, at 4K. But then 30 hz's would be any driver at 10 inches. A 8 inch woofer I do not believe will go to 30. Any s... | |
| Does "Fast" = "Detailed"? Sean great post, especially about the bandwith issue. Restrictions in bandwith are characteric of lower quality components. Look at any concert/recording studio's set up, dozens of equalizers and fq boards, all for one purpose to enliven the human... | |
| Does "Fast" = "Detailed"? A friend that had the Audio research VLT200 said my JOR was more detailed/refined/precise/accurate/fast. All mean the same thing. A cdp can ve fast, a amp can be fast, a speaker can be fast. But really fast is misleading. A ss amp most likely is f... | |
| Does "Fast" = "Detailed"? Here's a good exapmle. I have a JOR. The Jadis stock tubes are KT90's. I decided to replace them with the Electro Harmonix KT88's. The 88's were like sludge, boomy, its was like the music was comming from the speaker like paste in a "tube". The 90... | |
| differences between tube and solid state designs Tube amps are like ss amps, there are a few goods uns among the bunch. I did not like CJ nor ARC's, nor Rogue's | |
| Your favorite classical composers/works? For all you R&R/blues/jazz fans looking to get a toe into classical and have been turned off by the popular romantic composers, none of which i am a fan of, except for 3 of Wagner's operas, ck out Pettersson/1911-1980 and Schnittke/1934-1998. ... | |
| JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ? I don't think the Cayin is as versatile as the Jadis in accepting various tubes. btw did you feel obligated in buying the speakers with the A88? Which city do you live that has Cayin to audition? | |
| JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ? Saki I plan to stay with the Jadis tubes in the JOR. These are very expensive tubes and to get any quality that will equal these 90's will cost me a fortune. I suggest you stay with the cayin tubes, which are no doubt FIRST CLASS tubes. IOW don't ... | |

| Speaker 101 - tweeter and cone materials I like the materials but mostly the engineering to the Seas'. They seem to get the best balance, fluidness and rigitity, resulting in most musical. | |
| Rotel RCD 1072 verus Channel Islands VDA2 DAC I had a Rotel cdp, a NAD as well, 3 yr old models. Used I guess you can get either for a few hundred, but I'd recommend a new/used Cayin. preferably the 17, but a cheaply priced 15 will work as well. No contest. | |
| Cayin A88 sells in one day I was not looking for any trouble around here, so I'll stay out of it and let this topic sink down a few pages. Besides I'm surprised the moderators let it pass. Lets keep things friendly, its just a hobby, don't take it too seriously. Tvad has a ... |
