| Anyone familiar with the Manger driver? Please... enough blatant advertising. | |
| sonus faber..Grand Piano Domus vs Cremona Auditor I listened to the Cremona Auditor and the Concerto Domus... in which the Cremona was handily better. I have not yet listened to the Grand Piano Domus though.But I would be surprised if you found the GP better than the Cremona Auditor if you were a... | |
| AVALON Indra ?? Samuel,Thanks for the review. Your review is saying a lot. Gotta audition someday.Joey | |
| To those who've tkn Vandersteen 5A upgrade plunge I would sell the 5s used... then buy a pair of used 5As.The best way to go about this is this though... do not sell until after you buy and after you take delivery of the 5A (used). Then you can do a demo and be sure of your decision. Not only tha... | |
| Cambridge Audio 840C Mike,That's what I figured. One thing I noticed from CDPs (and audio electronics like DACs, Preamps, and Amps) is that the higher you go up, the main and consistent difference is the blackness and the 3D-ness of the sound. A lot of the "wide sound... | |
| walker proscenium CONGRATS Koegz! That is a step in the right direction. This could be the last TT you could ever buy.We want pics when it arrives!Joey | |
| Where to start with vinyl SGunther,I did the same thing.. I just got into vinyl/analog. I also have a similar system as you do (ML Summits). I purchased a VPI Scoutmaster with Dynavector 20XH cart to go with my Cary SLP-98Phono preamp. It's going to be a long process (coll... | |
| Speaker Preferences? I can't believe we're correcting rhymes now. | |
| Speaker Preferences? I don't think cone head rhymes with "rule".... :). | |
| Speaker Preferences? Understood J.But I don't think that MLs are alone in the fact that you have to take the time to position them well. Sonus Faber needs them, Quads need them, Magnepans need them, etc.The last time I was at a dealer for a Sonus Faber demo, he took a... | |
| Speaker Preferences? JKalman,If I had the money to get a Rives room, it would be much easier to set these up.It's all about how you approach it, if you find tweaking is a negative, then don't tweak it. You wont get the best sound out of an ML because there is SO MUCH ... | |
| Speaker Preferences? Shredder, I will look into the Aerial 9s... if you were impressed with them and you had ML background, it may be something I'd like to audition. Just for kicks. And if they are truly better, well... que sera sera... this is life.Joey | |
| Speaker Preferences? "Those seem like even greater reasons to stay away from that speaker line to me..."Why? Because of the setup? Set it up right and they sound fantastic, to me atleast. Set them up wrong and they sound lackluster. You of all people should know that ... | |
| Speaker Preferences? J,You're meaning to tell me that Tweeter knows how to setup the Summit better than a Summit owner who has spent the last year tweaking the system?You're telling me that Magnolia is better at setting up MLs when all they do is pile them against the... | |
| Speaker Preferences? The Sophias are among my favorite speakers, but the Vantage would be a close second for most things. I would say that they need to be positioned right and run with the proper upstreams to get them to sound good (the ML moreso). Dull would not be t... |
