| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Bassraptor: You are using the CD 07. I have to say I am very tempted by it, it is significantly cheaper than the CD 2. Have you, or anyone else compared it with the more expensive models. I would be very interested in the differences. | |
| How to listen to the good stuff? I think shows are the answer. Yes the sound is usually awful, but what do you expect from a system thrown together the night before, in an inappropriate room, with corrupted mains. BUT, if you can find a reaonable sounding room, then the kit must ... | |
| Where to listen I made a trip to RMAF last year from the UK and had a great time. Take the time to look around Colorado, some stunning scenery. The show had a friendly atmosphere, perhaps because it is run by an audio society. I chose my last speakers there, Daed... | |
| 2010 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet Dre I do indeed remember the pleasant evening we spent in Garcias. I hope you are still enjoying your TW turntable. I hope RMAF is as good as last year and the weather is as great. I bought overcoats and sweaters last year, thinking the snow would... | |
| 2010 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet Does'nt that mean you have to shake everyones hand at RMAF. You'll get some strange looks and repetitive strain injury. Why not borrow something else from the Masons and role your left trouser leg to above the knee. I enjoyed the meet and greet la... | |
| A major disconnect between the audiophile magazine Howard, Someone has already mentioned Bound For Sound, an excellent subscription only magazine, with no adverts, in the same vein as HiFi Critic. It is much less glossy, so much cheaper. The contributors are quite rigorous in their reviews and cri... | |
| K & K phono pre compasison I have the K&K Phono SE, the predessor to the Maxxed out and by chance , have compared with quite a few other phono stages. Firstly I should saty it is by some margin, the best stage I have had in my system. I have used the Pre stage in a Graa... | |
| Speaker footers – Ugh I have used Herbies big fat dots between speaker and stand and Symposium Rollerblock juniors. Thev latter were slightly better but clearly more expensive. If you are looking for heavy brass footers, I would look at EdenSound Bearpaws, much cheaper... | |
| Class A watts vs Class A/B watts I agree with Oakleys, I love Class A amps. There is a naturalness to them akin to tubes, though many Class A amps are tubed of course. I find class A/B solid state, largely unlistenable in the long term. There is a grain, grey tone to them, I can'... | |
| What did you own in the 60's? I remember it well, my first system, Leak Mini Sandwhiches, Rogers cadet integrated, Garrard SP25, all second hand. My mother is still using those speakers now | |
| APS Pure Power A/C Regenerators I have used a Pure Power 1500 for 2 years. I agree with other comments. A real clearly audible sound improvement with it in the system. As you expect, a darker background, increase in dynamics. I have'nt auditioned many other units, but can recome... | |
| Best high-efficiency speaker under 10K I was on a similar quest and went to RMAF to listen to some of the choices. The 2 best I heard were the Devore Gibbon 9, I did'nt find them soft at all. They do'nt look exciting, but a lovely neutral, musical sound, I could have listened to foreve... | |
| zyx Airy R-1000 cosmos - vs Benz LP S ? Markd51. I normally do qualify my statements to say my experience reflects my experience, in my system. I did'nt in this case. You are quite right that there may have been a mismatch in my system, though I was uprating my LP playback at the time a... | |
| Question about Morrow ICs? I have only used the 4's in interconnects and speaker cables. I have to say I am very happy with them. They are clearly better than other cables I have used and have no plans to change. As others have said, the long trial and return period, makes ... | |
| Attention K&K phono pre owners: John, thanks, I had followed up on that. Perrhaps we need to wait until the details are finalised and on the website |
