| Focal and Dr Who? I sat in a closed room with two of THEM for a half hour and survived (they DO have ways of making you listen, btw...)I'm with Shadorne on the Beolab 5, they look scary even in the flesh, erm, or whatever Daleks are made of.Talking of which, here i... | |
| Experience in isolation/resonance tweeks & brands? If it is still of interest to you, I found the following additional informationhttp://audiophiles.gr/interviews.php?InterviewsID=3Sadly, still no new website | |
| ruined a phillips screw, any inspired solution? Wow guys, thanks a lot, this is why I just love Audiogon!!! | |
| Baby name opinion.... Venus Cassiopée... which would imply stereo as "transcribed" by French manufacturer Venus Acoustics, so you can do it and not get caught 8^) Of course, their even better flagship speaker is the Venus Cybela, but you don't want to risk your daughte... | |
| Outstanding brands? What other brands could be considered to be in the same league.I am perfectly aware it is difficult to judge the viability of such assertion with regard to lesser known brands. But knowing ARC and MBL to a certain extent, mentioned as league refer... | |
| Cable elevators - conventional wisdom wrong? Hi guys, thanks for reviving this thread, most interesting findings being reported here. Over the months, I had settled for acrylic Quadraspire QX50 as support, maybe that could be the "nicer" alternative to cd jewel cases that Joeyboynj is lookin... | |
| Experience in isolation/resonance tweeks & brands? Bacardi, I was hoping to find whether Aktyna had someone distributing their product in Canada and am appalled to see that their site has disappeared from the web (it used to be www.aktyna.eu). Instead, I was redirected to one of those nasty domain... | |
| Experience in isolation/resonance tweeks & brands? Very much a question of cost-ratio and individual components' behaviour.The most efficient devices I've encountered are the custom-made platforms by Silent Running Audio. But then again, they come with a price tag. So, if you already spent big amo... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Stiltskin's right, a thread that goes by this title should at least draw some attention to the ASR Emitter II Exclusive Akku.The extreme focus on one product and its careful evolution for two and a half decades makes the Emitter a monument of part... | |
| David Byrne & Brian Eno Fear Thou Not, Albert, you have found the other Illuminati. Byrne, Eno, Fripp, Sylvian, Czukay, ... (go on, go on) Such incredible musical richness to discover for those willing to listen!Talking of which, anyone else here indulged in the frippert... | |
| EAT KT-88 tubes In Germany EUR 450,- for a pair (matched, obviously).Ignore those exact figures for a moment. I bought them for my EUR 2.2k Unison S2K, a very big leap of faith indeed. But one I have never remotely regretted from the first moment on. Can it compe... | |
| EAT KT-88 tubes For the statistics: in 8 months (please don't ask me how many hours that is, though) no problem of any nature with the two I've been using. Keep my fingers crossed. | |
| 6H30 tubes ringing in BAT VK-300SE Hi, "DR" NOS don't have to cost over $300, although of course they're never cheap. I bought mine here: http://www.machmat.com/sales/index.htm(Mattijs is the man behind Pink Faun and extremely reliable)Sorry if this looks like a dumb question: are ... | |
| mid fi choices NAD vs Adcom vs Rotel ... $400 Found a good match for the IQ Ted 400 already? Just curious. | |
| Good $2k Used Speakers for 20wpc tube amp Another recommendation for Zu Druids (look for Mk IV). I'm using them with a 15wpc Unison S2K (KT 88 tubes) and I can confirm they fill a large room. |
