| What is in a Naim ? well said, kthomas. this query brings to mind my asking a client in the publishing business whether he thought macs were better than pc's for his applications. he replied by saying: "you know, that's like asking whether it's better to be a catholi... | |
| Win a power cord. sorry for the typo: "succinctly" | |
| Win a power cord. why not name it "heroic."? it describes your efforts succintly and honestly. | |
| California electrical shortage audio wow, but for chriskh, i certainly am proud of the company i keep. the diversity of backgrounds and depth of knowledge displayed by a-goners astounds me more every day. bravo don! bravo massm! | |
| Jeff Rowland Consummate Preamp there was another thread on this topic begun on 1/17/01. suggest you check it out rather than my repeating what's already been said. good hunting | |
| "Virtual" Magneplanar Tympanis oops, that should read "soundlab." http://www.soundlab-speakers.com/ | |
| "Virtual" Magneplanar Tympanis cwlondon: i thought you were moving to nyc. they don't truck with these kinda mods in ny. 160% tax, don'tcha know. all kidding aside, why would you care to take on such a project? i think you'd be much better served buying a pair of sounlab a1's o... | |
| Ayre V-1X a killer amp the boulder 1012 is not yet shipping. it was supposed to ship in February but there have been some production problems with the anodizing of the case. there are 2 pre-production units that i've heard and they are truly spectacular. i'll quite like... | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers trelja: i subscribe to both s'phile and tas. if i were to drop one, it'd be s'phile and its pioneer receivers. BTW, some of the better reviewers you mention have gone to the dark side of the force and now write for ht rags. | |
| Stands Target R2, Atlantis Ref 21 Or.? sound anchors are much more robust than target (no longer in production, BTW) or atlantis and can be filled with more stuff. i'd recommend you use a 50/50 combo of lead shot and sand rather than sand alone. more weight and better fill. | |
| California electrical shortage audio craig, very interesting. my electronics manufacturers say just the opposite of yours and mr. vandersteen. that is, you gain nothing by leaving your dac and transport powered up but you do with your amp. i know from personal experienve that my ss a... | |
| New Music vs. New Equipment redkiwi, i couldn't agree more. i can't think of a time in my 30+ years in this hobby when i've ever been faced with a decision such as that posed by onhwy61. indeed, tho i've sometimes spent several hundreds of USD on software at a time, i've nev... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System i am flabbergasted that anyone would say that the purchase of a $3,000 power cord equates with a $15,000 increase in the price of an amp upgrade. where in the world did you come up with that figure? my system is worth considerably more (at msrp) t... | |
| Zoethecus Vs Audio Point Sistrum Rack ifatchoi: please don't take this wrongly, but would you have expected the ceo of audiopoints to have suggested his products are inferior to a competitor's? i've been to many highend audio stores throughout the us and attended >10 ces's. the rac... | |
| Acoustic Energy AE 1 s i had ae-1's that i drove with a bridged pair of rowland model 1's. these speakers can take all the power you can throw at 'em. they will not sound bright unless you use strident amps. hence i would avoid krells. but that's my prejudice showing, t... |
