| ZYX Airy 3 or Atmos Is anyone hear going to CES 2010 | |
| Hum...ZYX with Tom Evans Groove Need suggestions I had the same problem with the Groove, although the sound was great. I later got rid of it and now own the Aesthetix Io Signature; which is a step up and no hum. | |
| Ayre K1xe vs First Sound Presence Deluxe Mk II Kurt_tank are you going to CES this year? | |
| Zero Autoformer good/bad for Atma/Quad combo If I had to use Autotransformers with the Atmasphere, I think I would rather use a regular tube amp that has transformers built in. Defeating the purpose. | |
| Ayre K1xe vs First Sound Presence Deluxe Mk II I agree with you I don't see what people see in the Dartzeel. I much would rather have Lamm. I personally own Vac Phi 300 Monos. | |
| Need Processor Input Robert I also have the Toshiba HDDVD player. I kept this because of the beautiful processing of regular DVD's. I would look into an OppO SE which gives you better up converting dvd and fabulous blue ray. I also have the Pioneer O5FD and like the O... | |
| The mighty CAT preamp Audio is an art. Sometimes its luck and other times very hard work. You are right just because the CAT was not the best in my system does not mean it will not shine in another system. | |
| The mighty CAT preamp I was and still am using the ESP Harp's which are very similar to the ESP Concert Grands. At the time I was using VTL 450 monoblocks. Now I am using the VAC 300i Phi Monoblocks. I still like the sound of the AR better than the CAT with these amps. | |
| Kudos to Audio Research I am happy that you had no problems with your CJ. I am just stating the facts. I received the new CJ's and right out of the box I had a failure. I am just stating that their protection is not great if you do have a problem. I had to send the amp b... | |
| The mighty CAT preamp For the fact that the Audio Research is more alive sounding with much better depth and detail. The VTL had less depth, less detail and less transparency. | |
| The mighty CAT preamp Are you kidding. In my system the AR Ref 2 mark 2 killed the CAT and the VTL 7.5. How is that 3 step backwards. | |
| Kudos to Audio Research I agree I have had many different brands of tube amps as well. If the amp is designed properly a tube should not take out circuits. Good designs are VTL, CAT, VAC. The bad design was Conrad Johnson. | |
| The mighty CAT preamp I moved from the CAT Ultimate to VTL 7.5 and now I'm using the Audio Research Ref 2 Mark 2. To me the CAT was foward and bright or you could say thin. | |
| Concert Fidelity audition program I can't use it because it is not balanced. Dick Olsher is great one of the best still writing. I saw him in person at last years CES with his wife of course and her cd. | |
| Pioneer Elite vs. Pioneer "Standard" Kuro Plasmas I wouldn't hold my breath. Everyone else said they were coming out with this especially in 50 or 60 inches. The price will be very high too. |
