Justa.....plausable response.....except.....i spent about an hour in the big Edge room. i heard a few different types of music......i never heard bass texture, micro dynamics or toneality like what i hear from the Tenors......i actually like the E... | |
| Better Amps For Talon Khorus CAT JL2 or Tenor 75? hi Guys; this looks like a fun discussion......so i'll give my Tenor-lovin 2 cents.......it may be interesting how the Firebirds do when they are completely mature as a design.....in a proper room. i was in the Firebird room at CES early on Friday... | |
| Linear tracking arms Tobias, when a linear arm is cued, as the canteliver and stylus drop onto the lead-in groove; if the arm is not level or there is undue friction on the shaft, the canteliver will take the sudden shock of a side load from the leverage of the lead-i... | |
| Linear tracking arms Inna, Twl has said it pretty good. i would add as a linear tracking arm owner that if you don't go for the best (read air-bearing) then a pivoting arm will be better. for the linear arm to track along a friction shaft properly you would need to be... | |
| Comments on Silverline Bolero or Innersound at CES i was in that room but didn't stay long enough to form any meaningful opinion. i normally enjoy Jeff's speakers and don't recall anything negative. as i recall the room was kinda packed when i was by there. i had mean't to go back but it didn't wo... | |
| Comments on Silverline Bolero or Innersound at CES Dolphin, i listened to the Bolero's at CES and thought they were the best under $10k speaker i heard at CES. very coherent and cohesive top to bottom, excellent detail, clear mid-range and good bass articulation. they did nothing wrong and much ri... | |
| wright pp 100c phono preamplifer Auditions? Ron, i did hear the Wright phono stage at my audio club meeting a few months ago compared to a Linn Linto on 2 similar Linn LP-12 tts. personally, i preferred the Wright as much more involving. excellent texture and nuance, absolutely no etch or h... | |
| Real Standup Men Audiogon Members to the Rescue Asa, i did order a set of the new 300 watt hybrid Tenors (as did 10 to 15 other Tenor fans), but i am just a retail customer like everyone else. a long time ago i deceided i wanted to stay on the consumer side of high end audio......i work in reta... | |
| Real Standup Men Audiogon Members to the Rescue before Dale and I are actually canonized saints i would point out that our activities are typical of most serious audiophiles that i know. as a group, audiophiles are mostly helpful, sharing people that like to support others of their ilk. there a... | |

| Cartridge Alignment Newbie Question Marcus, i'm not familiar with your particular cartridge. it may be that based on the tools you have you will have to rely on the cartridge body for alignment. if you have alignment tools that measure the stylus then that would always be the more v... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Ry Cooder is one not yet mentioned that i really enjoy and he takes me musical places i haven't been before.last night i listened to a couple of Jimi Hendrix Lps....."Electric Ladyland" and "Are You Experienced".....it is hard to conceive of anyon... | |
| Cartridge Alignment Newbie Question Marcus, very few cartridge bodies are perfectly aligned with their cantelivers and stylus. so when you are looking at the relationship between the cartridge body and the headshell.....don't even worry about how that looks. it is only about where t... | |
