| Rivaling or Beyond the ESL 57 for Magical Midrange Dhcod,Yes, not easy hence the reason for this thread!I have always thought not only "speed" and transparency, but perhaps coherency is a key ingredient for the uncanny, holy grail like sound of 57's and certain other classics.Can't imagine they wo... | |

| Rivaling or Beyond the ESL 57 for Magical Midrange Frogman,Doesn't necessarily have to be ON the desktop - but that seems to be best. Will try to post some photos later.And oh yes another midrange classic - the Met 7's. In fact, years ago, I recommended them for my parents who still have a pair - ... | |
| Rivaling or Beyond the ESL 57 for Magical Midrange Frogman,Good point - and in fact I can almost imagine a pair of 57's on my desktop. But as you point out, not easy to find, not the best looking devices, big and as magical as they may be, I think overpriced when one can find them.Hence, the searc... | |
| Rivaling or Beyond the ESL 57 for Magical Midrange Atmasphere,Yes, I assume a tube (particularly SET?) amp or electronics would add to the magic...But that is one of the reasons I have been particularly impressed with the ATCs using ordinary electronics.(Some do criticize them for being too flat, ... | |

| Dahlquist DQ10: best reasonably priced power I also sold DQ-10's when I worked part time and in the summers for an audio store during high school and college, circa 1980-1982.Wonderful, magical speakers but power hungry indeed - you won't go wrong throwing a massive amp at them.The Apt Holma... | |
| Re HTC One Android Emphasis on Audio Thanks for info - droid players very interesting and Davide256 will check out Neutron.Singleendedsingle, yes, as an audiophile not so obsessed with small, especially since the phone itself it so sleek. So even better if paired with external amp an... | |
| Re HTC One Android Emphasis on Audio Mofimadness,Thank you - every audiophile should enjoy that app.I continue to be impressed with the build quality of this HTC device, but may wait for the even bigger, forthcoming screen - apparently HTC's answer to the Samsung Note.Last night, I t... | |
| Benchmark or Antelope? I have an Antelope Zodiac + on my desktop and really enjoy it.Like Bodotes, I also use mine as a "preamp" to adust volume and switch between inputs including PC, Mac and television.It sounds great and works perfectly - I never think about it which... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 as EQ Only? Elizabeth,Ah OK - I also use a Toslink switcher for less critical applications - so HDTV box and PC interface into the switcher via Toslink, then Toslink into the DEQ and digital output into the Zodiac.Dont know how I would thus enhance or diminis... | |
| powering two pairs of Dahlquist DQ10s I thought Mark Levinson stacked Quads, not Dahlquists.As in HQD for Hartley, Quad and Decca. | |
| Old vs New Magnepan 1.7 vs Tympani IV Thank you and interesting to learn more about the Magnestat website and modifications....However, not so sure I like the looks of the larger frames, and I already have Myesound stands.Grant was also very helpful / responsive and to my ears they ma... | |
| Old vs New Magnepan 1.7 vs Tympani IV Re upgrading crossovers, can anyone please advise on how to best do this on a pair of Tympani IVas?Does this mean simply replacing the external passive crossover box with higher quality components?Or using an active crossover and biamping?I know I... | |
| iPad "Remote" App for iTunes Mezmo,Thank you - you have elegantly and perfectly articulated exactly what I feared might be happening, as well as confirming previous suspicions that Apple is the new Microsoft.It will take me some time to work out how to best address, my local ... |
