| B&W 703 - How to tame the highs? Speakers do not have to be overly warm or inaccurate to play compressed music without ensuing listening fatigue.There are many better examples to prove the point.I can mention just one, that I have in my system-Silverline Bolero. It has Dynaudio E... | |
| BAT 75 SE vs. CAT JL2 or JL2 Sig. Mick said he gave it 400 hrs.You're right, we do have very different tastes for sure. | |
| BAT 75 SE vs. CAT JL2 or JL2 Sig. Thank you David and Rgurney,I read about your mods, and that's something I might do, if I finally decided to go with BAT.One note on V-caps, though.Some Supratek preamps owners changed Auricaps to V-caps, and some of them decided to go back to Aur... | |
| BAT 75 SE vs. CAT JL2 or JL2 Sig. Audiooracle,Thanks for the input.My system is posted under my name, and if you could offer any suggestions regarding amplification, it would be greatly appreciated. | |
| BAT 75 SE vs. CAT JL2 or JL2 Sig. Raquel,Very thoughtful and knowledgable response, as always.If I'm not mistaken, latest CAT JL2 Sig. use fuses, instead of resistors.Do you still have your VAC 140/140?As you probably noticed, I'm using VAC PA 90 C1 in my system, (as a temporary s... | |
| BAT 75 SE vs. CAT JL2 or JL2 Sig. Outstanding,Thank you for the valuable input. | |
| Coincident Total Reference = any thoughts I heard this speakers at the Venetian as well, and was very impressed. Very open, uncolored and dynamic.Killer bass.They were one of the speakers I liked at CES. Yes, they were Pure, not Total Reference | |

| Top ten tube preamps I'm surprised, nobody mentioned Nick Doshi ALAAP preamp. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Sure,I bought Nick Doshi ALAAP preamp, which sells for $10000.(Mk. II is $12000)So it makes it twice as expensive, than Cortese, but it's defenitely not twice as good. In essense, it just serves music in a different way, and it is strictly a matte... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I think one of the Supratek owners, posting in this thread, purchased Dodd to compare it with Supratek, and Dodd was up for sale in about a week.Whoever you are- REVEAL YOURSELF NOW!!! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Audiophile 1958,Did you have a chance to make a direct comparison against Supratek? How does Dodd compare in the area of dynamics, one of the Supratek's strong suites? | |
| yet another KAB mod question Here is what I did.I just asked Kevin which upgrades HE THOUGHT were worthwhile. I was prepared to do all the mods, he has to offer. Kevin is a very honest and straightforwardkind of person. I have found him to be a real gentleman, who is as objec... | |
