| Octave v70se OR v80se What is the current price of V80 SE without black boxes ? | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Trelja, thank you. I heard that Jadis has a cult following, just as Lamm. Different amps. I always think of a high-end set-up as the one with monoblocks. | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? The purpose of this thread is to call attention to the tape and tape machines. Whatever anyone has to say. I think, many agree that there is something that makes the tape sound more natural. As for the cut-off frequency extremes that somehow make ... | |
| Amplification for Wilson Audio Sasha on the cheap Michael Fremer drives Wilsons with DartZeel, he must know. If that's too much, old Krells should do it too, yeah. | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Let's return to real tape machines - open reel decks.In addition, cartridges color the sound like hell. Even if vinyl was better you cannot fully make use of it - no cartridge will be able to extract all the information from the groove and present... | |
| Octave v70se OR v80se Yes, since dealers have to buy their demos, they'll buy 70 SE and say that 80 SE is even better. I might've simplified it a little, but it's hard to buy what you can't audition even when the models are close enough to each other. Anyway, $3500 is ... | |
| Great music few are aware of. Any genre. Orpheus10, I rate this quite low. And she can't really dance. | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? raymonda, you should've read carefully what I wrote. I didn't say that cassette sounded better in all aspects of the performance. It is not all or nothing, you know. I never use any dolby.I also use top cables when recording and comparing the two.... | |
| Octave v70se OR v80se I think, you will never know unless you try both in your room. They also have something called super black box, at least they used to have it. When it comes to cost difference, it becomes very subjective.Top of the line models always get special a... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Aavik doesn't have XLR inputs, has only fixed 62db phono gain, only three line inputs and it doesn't weigh much. No thank you, not for me.T+ A looks impressive. Of those I would only audition the Gryphon and the German. Some do like Vitus, many ot... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Even if direct to disc can theoretically sound slighly better in some respects, I think, tape will still have an edge in smoothness and continuity, perhaps in drive as well. And think of the level of the equipment that you would need to get that o... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? I believe, best tape decks and turntables/arms/cartridges were made later than in early 70's. Or the tape itself, for that matter. He proved nothing. | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Yeah, some guys 'bake' the tape, use LAST tape and head preservatives and do other things. I use LAST head preservative that ideally should be applied before playing each cassette. My deck probably has 5000-6000 hours of playtime on it and the hea... | |
| Octave v70se OR v80se My suggestion would be to get the top of the line and more powerful model. Dynaudio like power. I also read in another thread that Octave responds very well to tube rolling with NOS Telefunken and Siemens tubes. If that's what you are inclined to ... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? trelja, I see. How would they sound with Focal Utopia, I wonder ? Both are French, and Utopia are high resolution but somewhat bright speakers. |
