| Amp w/s Outstanding Midrange By experience I can second ALL (but the eVo) of the above and add:*Jadis (if you like tube)*Symphonic Line RG10 or Kraftquelle*YBA integreCheers! | |
| Best city between these two? Have lived in London and (originally from) Paris. My US experience is limited to a few cities, so I can speak about characteristics that yr fiancee (I assume it's "she") may enjoy:small cafes, restaurants or brasseries, creative shops (any thing f... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Ahem, Detlof (polite cough), music thru a Goldmund Reference? They must have been on their absolutely best-mannered behaviour :^)!Similarly, I pulled out a Symphonic Line pre, to test it against a mega$ offering. I can assure you it surpassed itse... | |
| New format players the future? Hi JD (good to see U!) -- SACD's challenge is that DVD-V+SACD+Redbook players prevail as standard (my opinion). Otherwise, how can the (mass) marketplace sustain the presently confusing plethora of multi-players. In the interim, good redbook playb... | |
| Hovland Cable plugs I share your preference for Fritz, Detlof. There's also Toscanini's/NBC 1940 recording and (dare I mention this) Karajan's/Berliner 1972 version. All single-ended, ofcourse!Gladstone, sorry for usurping yr thread! On topic, may I strongly suggest ... | |

| Is my dealer lying to me? Adding to the above, differences in performance are perceptible if the rest of the chain's able to reproduce them (rubbish or otherwise). A $0,5k player in a WELL MATCHED SYSTEM may not sound much inferior to a 2,5k player in a MISmatched system -... | |
| I don't remember much, but I remember...... My first LP purchases (if memory serves!) were at Xmas -- the yr shall go un-named. I had saved up diligently. Titles: the Stones' "Let it Bleed", Hot Tuna (1st), and Beethoven's complete Symphonies at a whopping special offer on Supraphon ("stere... | |
| New format players the future? Ben-1)Possible -- but expensive, not well regarded by marketers. Also don't think the marketplace needs -- or can sustain -- a plethora of new formats in the long run. We already have 2 + 2 new propositions. IMO, keeping both SACD & DVD-A is f... | |
| Who can fix electrocompaniet amps Excellent point, Bwhite! Indeed, the 2A/250 is for european use (higher voltage, lower amperage)! | |
| Speakers for the party system So, now that we've solved the speakers problem... when's the party ;-) ? | |
| Genesis - where are they?? OK, one way of keeping our Genesis gear alive is to: a) get part specs & manufacturer for speaker units. b) schematics for the servo amps.Is there anyone geographically close enough to make inquiries???The models in play here are:Genesis V (i ... | |
