| Auditioned Innersound gear Rcprince,As one of your Eros-owning friends who just sold his original Eros to move to the Eros II, I'd be happy to have you visit when I get the new speakers in. It should be late January sometime because Roger Sanders is currently out of the new... | |
| Has anyone heard the Innersound Electrostatic amp? Guys, you left me little to add except to say that I agree wholeheartedly with all the above comments. Happy listening! | |
| Any great speakers out there? InnerSound Eros -- An electrostatic hybrid that is musical and refined and will play at very loud levels if need be. It has inspired both tears and goosebumps at my home. Beat my previous servo-amped Acoustat IIIs and the B&W CDM 9NTs I have p... | |
| My system has just received the ultimate insult Wow, that's rough! But you have to understand that not everyone's hearing is the same. It seems to me that many women are much more sensitive to high frequency brightness than men. My wife used to complain about my system sounding too bright when ... | |
| Cheap Stuff That Keeps Up? Yes duke, If you have the ceiling height the Acoustat 1+1s are an incredible bargain for the level of reproduction they can provide. Mate them with a nice gutsy solid-state amp and a decent tube preamp, add subwoofers and let 'er rip!I was fortuna... | |
| Cheap Stuff That Keeps Up? Jeff, I own a NAD 3020 integrated and couldn't agree more. Even by today's standards it offers surprisingly good sonic performance that is on par with much more expensive units. I'll take your word on the B&W DM302s, though I have not heard th... | |
| Cheap Stuff That Keeps Up? This is an interesting thread that can spawn ideas for some great performing low-cost systems. Keep the ideas coming, but remember, the goal is to list those components that provide exceedingly high sound quality for very few dollars. Try to stay ... | |
| SME V tonearm versus Rega tonearms on Michell Orbe I think the limiting factor on the OL Rega arms has more to do with the relatively inconvenient, time consuming methods of setting the VTA, rather than the actual performance difference between it and the high-priced arms. If you get an OL RB 250 ... | |
| SME V tonearm versus Rega tonearms on Michell Orbe I use an OL RB250 on a Gyro II SE with a Benz Ruby 2 cartridge and the sound is the best I have heard (compared to any other TT system I have used). There is an unmistakable synergy going on with this combo that is captivating. It easily outperfor... | |
| Define high current amp? Magnepans are planar magnetic speakers, not elestrostatics and present a relatively benign resistive impedance curve as far as I know. They are somewhat inefficient and are said to benefit from a high-current amp design. On the other hand, purely ... | |
| Connecting two amps-bi-amp cabling Zorpman, you had better consult the amp's manufacturer before attempting such a hook up -- I don't think it will work as you anticipate and may be harmful to the amplifiers.I wouldn't want to see you have to change your name to "Zappedman"! | |
| Help: New Rega P3 & Grado Platinum; No highs I'm not familiar with the Classe 30 preamp, but shouldn't there be a way to set it to the higher-gain MC position and still select the 47 k-ohm impedance load? If not, I'd bet this would be be an easy modification to perform. Perhaps you should ca... | |
| SS amp and tube preamp combo for Martin Logan Sl-3 I would recommend a Rogue 99 or other tube preamp using 6SN7 tubes rather than 6DJ8/6922s. The 6SN7-based preamps I have tried are generally less "bright" than 6922-based units in my experience (I know it's a blanket statement, but I did say "gene... | |
| I'm not into Home Theater but... Without getting into theological issues, although I can certainly appreciate Mcne's comments, I think everyone can see the importance of NOT provoking violence or becoming confrontational/adversarial in situations like the one Marakanetz described... | |
| "Stacked" Advents hookup I was speaking with a friend about stacked Advents the other day. I was curious to know if he had tried them with the top speaker upside-down, so the tweeters would be together in the center and he said he had not. I thought it would have been int... |
