| The weakest link? ...or experiment with another speaker cable. (can you audition a Nordost SPM -- just for ref purposes?)I'm just as perplexed as Sean & Garfish: that's a good-looking system you have there! | |
| Sim Eclipse cd or Emc1.cd player which one I, too, like the Capitole -- but have also enjoyed the EMC for dynamics and the Lurne for musicality. Final decision MAY depend upon what kind of music you listen to and HOW you like that music to be reproduced, i.e. you are a "stickler" for what ... | |
| Phono Amp Recommendations For a quick (but decisive) spin, I too second the Lehmann and add the idea of a used Linn. Cheers | |
| Am I going insane? What about German products... definite correlation b/ween some of their cars & audio equip. Heavy engineering, tight tolerances, look "authoritative" and built like a tank, go fast; Symphonic Line: MBenz or Audi, Burmester: BMW, Acapella: ? (a... | |
| Ribbon Tweeters Rory, I *think* the Piegas roll-off higher than 20kHz... (Heard the 10 once & was impressed, BTW.) Also, I have not experienced any tonal/ phase/? inaccuracy listening to ribbon tweeters -- but that's just me, no ribbon "guru" here! OTOH, is t... | |
| What Would You Do? Smith likes the Tannoys, the Tandberg & his Mc, so let's see what our collective wisdom can come up with keeping (most/all) of these items. I, for one, would opt for a used cdp -- the likes of Audio Aero, Electro, the small Lurne... maybe even... | |
| What is your favorite Strauss The Last Four Songs? I have opted for E. Schwarzkopf/Szell over the Ackerman. Even though Ackerman's earlier version offers a younger Schwarzkopf, I like the maturity of her voice in the Szell version & the classicism of the latter's conductiong. For the Metamorph... | |
| Abstract7 signing over… Good luck with the new venture, Abstract -- oooops -- Rives! | |
| An unscientific poll: How often are you happy? Beautiful piece, Oz. Well written, too. There are positive facets A/B testing after all. The post above serves as an example! Clink! | |
| Anyone heard the KR Enterprise Antares???? Sorry for the delay, Gl. The site is www.neuanceaudio.com .Cheers | |
| What controls/adjustments are needed for phono pre Chazz, have no experience w/ the Denon you mention -- sorry! I'm not sure what the "key" adjustment you refer to is? Does it digitally change the musical key??? If so, it would be loading the digital musical info, after the A-D converter stage, on... | |
| An unscientific poll: How often are you happy? Nil & Sek brought us back, and Sek's last paragraph probably echoes many of us. Just thought I'd inform everyone that I upgraded from Lagavulin to Lafroiagg, for the jazz/blues music. The upper range is definitely better, and p.r.a.t.t. has im... | |
| Customer service? Following Unsound's repeats, I declare I'm impressed. Only similar experience here (in Europe) has been with Symphonic Line. Replacements (full circuit boards, matched) sent at the price of transportation (guarantee expired of course).Good for you... | |
| GamuT D-200 or Plinius SA 250: What to use? Briar, what's the rest of the equip? Your taste in music?Indeed, manufacturers usually match their equips -- but that doesn't mean you can't innovate. Gamut is a nice player, maybe the amp is more to your taste. I for one prefer the Plinius' pre's... | |
| If you bought a Linn Karik that arrived DOA.. IMO it would be difficult for the previous owner to know in advance of sale & shipment that said PS was on the verge of dying... Even if it were, I'm not sure why & how the shipping would have delivered it its last straw... I have KICKED a... |
