| What is the SACD Mod business all about? Robert, as I read your question, I think you are wondering if SACD is a bust without modification ("If the format has to be modded to sound good maybe I should just stick with cds.") Not true. First, any mods you have done will improve the redbook... | |
| Gilmore Audio planars revealed Hope you feel better, Keith. When you get your Gilmores, can I come down for a listen? --Dan | |
| CES 2004 Best of Show I agree, Joule/Joseph was certainly one of the best rooms. Another was the Marten Design/EAR room with EAR electronics driving the new Coltrane Alto speakers, $22K (not to be confused with the original Coltranes). Also, the Musical Surroundings ro... | |
| totem at ces In the 2-channel room, I believe they were using the Totem integrated amp, not sure about source. Don't remember the amplification in the HT room. | |
| Jeff Rowland Amp Owners Please Help Rowland has adapters available. | |

| Anyone in Vegas listen to the Gilmore speakers??? I missed the live bass performance, but what you say jibes with my impression of the Gilmore-based systems as sounding more like a PA than like a stereo. | |
| Review: McCormack DNA-225 Gold Revision Amplifier Thanks, Bruce. Front row is what I take forward-sounding to mean, though one can never be sure what others mean.

| Gilmore Audio planars revealed I heard them in two rooms at CES. Unfortunately, I had not seen this thread or I would have given them a more serious audition (on-axis). Their size and appearance make them something I would never own, so I only listened briefly. I did not care f... | |
| What amp for Thiel cs3.5's? >ampulesA small glass vial that is sealed after filling and used chiefly as a container for a hypodermic injection solution:-) | |
| Whats wrong with short cables? Jeez, Sean, you sound almost pissed off. :-)What I have is 10' M2 biwire. Since the Thiels don't take biwire, I attached both sets of speaker leads to the one set of terminals on the speakers. (This is a common practice, but I wonder if it's a goo... | |
| Review: McCormack DNA-225 Gold Revision Amplifier Good review, thank you.I have never heard a McCormack amp in my system but I am very curious about them. They seem to have a reputation for being slightly forward-sounding. Do you agree? | |
| Thiel speakers... one more try I swapped my ProAc 2.5's for Thiel 2.4's. Just goes to show. | |
| Best all around box speaker between 15K and 25K I wish we'd stop using the term "best". | |
| Tube Preamps with Bass? I use the First Sound with a Pass 150. There is a slight impedance mismatch between these two components, which may limit bass performance a little, though I can not be sure of that. But I do get excellent bass and I think the First Sound in gener... |
