| Upgrade from Spendor BC-1: need ideas You are correct that it is apples and oranges when it comes to price. I thought the Daedalus discussion would be of interest to you because Dodgealum listened to a LOT of speakers in his search for something that improved upon or at least equalled... | |
| Upgrade from Spendor BC-1: need ideas I believe you can search that way. Here's a review and discussion of the Daedalus by a former Harbeth owner. | |
| Why pay 3 Paypal fees? The direct withdrawal thing requires that you have a "personal" account. This means that both you as buyer and those who buy from you must use direct withdrawal or some other form of non-credit card payment. It's a great thing, but I finally aband... | |
| Upgrade from Spendor BC-1: need ideas You may want to add the Daedalus DA-1 to your list. If you poke around the archives a little you will see that this speaker won over at least one long-time British sound enthusiast. | |
| GMA Callisto VS. Merlin TSM I can see that. But I've read a lot of reviews in which the reviewer says something like, "as glorious as this component sounds on great recordings like the pablum in my music collection, it will also let you hear every wart, zit, and hair out of ... | |
| GMA Callisto VS. Merlin TSM What? Why do you say that about me Bombaywalla? I was merely offering up another way to say what songwriter is saying, and what I think Bobby is saying, in response to Minbean's position. | |
| GMA Callisto VS. Merlin TSM I find this issue of making all of one's recordings sound good very interesting. It is something I look for in components, but probably would not were I a reviewer or designer. However, I don't think about it as making poor recordings sound good, ... | |
| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? I also auditioned these speakers during Lou's Bay Area tour. I heard them in a mostly Spectral system. Very impressive: natural midrange, superb tonality, terrific bass. Their sound is big, bold, lifelike and impactful. I doubt they would ever be ... | |
| TRELJA almost In New York, 2006 Is the Acoustic Zen/Red Dragon pairing the AZ Adagio speakers? If so, since they are a TL design and you are a Fried aficionado, how do you assess the success of the AZ TL implementation? | |
| Nuforce Stehno: Over the years, in discussions about getting good system performance at low listening volume, you have voiced a particular point of view, which is that the amplfier is the key factor. How do you feel the Nuforce amps perform in this respect? | |
| Upgrade from Spendor BC-1: need ideas So what did you end up doing, Aktchi? | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? It wouldn't prove anything I don't think, but it certainly would be interesting. You would want identical arms and cartridges, equally broken in and meticulously set up to the same exacting parameters. But even if you couldn't manage that, you wou... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? "Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's?"The answer is NO, if superior audio quality is desired of course. Otherwise we might as well get I-PODs.Computer to DAC is quite a bit different from an iPod, so you lost me there. But more gener... | |
| I think it is time to retire Whenever this topic comes up, it is applied to rock musicians. If you substitute another genre, you may see it in a different light. Jazz musicians play until they drop and why shouldn't they? Even though Sonny Rollins is way past his prime, peopl... | |
| Paul Speltz speaker cables Jeremy, did you twist the pairs yourself or buy them twisted? A couple of months ago, I bumped against one of my Speltz pairs and it rubbed up against the chassis of my amp and shorted. Got a little poof and a smear of white on the cable jacket. N... |
