| Pro-ject and EAR 834p - On the wrong path? You all have been very helpful - thank you for your perspectives. I've enjoyed this all-Project/Sumiko set up for some yrs now, but have noted that the Tube Box-as liquid a presentation as it offers-tended to roll off upper frequencies and be unde... | |
| Pro-ject and EAR 834p - On the wrong path? Apologies - Of course-Speed Box a non-issue. Please disregard. In my haste to write and the fact its been so long since I first set up the SB, didn't think it through. Stevecham: What have been your impressions with the MM7/EAR combination? | |
| Best speakers for about $2000 a pair If you can find a pair on the used market, I would suggest auditioning Meadowlark Ospreys. Finest transmission-line speakers made, IMHO. Organic well-balanced presentation w/ beautiful mids. I've heard Pat voiced them to go exceptionally well w/ t... | |
| Dynaudio Focus 360 - Thoughts/Experiences? Stricken - As for placement, could you suggest a general optimum from rear/side surfaces? These are rear-ported, yes? Our dedicated listening room is approx. 25'x15' w/ the lay-out unfortunately restricting speakers/sweet spot to long walls, limit... | |
| Dynaudio Focus 360 - Thoughts/Experiences? *Addendum: Correction of course - 4k, not 4 "grams." Sorry for the typo!Valinar: Thanks very much for your thoughts. Strangely enough, it was a visit some time ago to a St. Louis audio shop that we too had an opportunity to hear a pair of Contours... | |

| Integrated Owners: I Need an Excellent Power Cord I'll add my endorsement of the Ridge Street pcs. Spent the summer auditioning Elrod Sig 2&3, all the Fusion versions, Dream State, TG Audio SLVR, even Nordost Shiva & Brahma. The RSAD Alethias! was the only pc to immediately make such a di... | |
| Nordost Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma? Quakfat - thanks very much for your perspective. I can agree that also within my system the Elrod Sig 2 pulled the stage forward, which in my particular listening situation is actually preferable (btw the Esoteric is the se version). Still they di... | |
| Nordost Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma? Thanks gang for your perspectives and advice. I've since had the opportunity to audition both the Brahma and David Elrod's Sig 2 & 3. Moved them around quite a bit, but ultimately found the best point for the Brahma was on the Esoteric. I don'... | |
| phono stage advice please Thank you for your thoughts. Interesting - - what type of MC were you using with the P15? Initially, it seemed to me that the EF-1 would be good for C-J system synergy. I have an opportunity to audition/purchase a gently used one in the $800 range... | |
