| Upgrade for Day Sequerra FM Reference Tuner Update: I spoke with Linda Reed (856-261-8961), who tells me that Day Sequerra is about to finish a move back to NJ and expects to be making the upgrades available again in the next few weeks. I'll be getting an e-mail from her soon with details o... | |
| 360 degree radial speakers and imaging... The best of them can indeed create a holographic soundstage which you can actually walk into the soundstage or "view" it from any location in the room without worrying about a sweet spot (mbl's are great at this, as were the original Ohm Walsh spe... | |
| Upgrade for Day Sequerra FM Reference Tuner I don't think Dick Sequerra wants much to do with the D-S models. The upgrades, as I recall them from the review, seemed largely cosmetic (better back-lighting, brighter scope display, etc.), although it certainly doesn't hurt to have your tuner b... | |
| New York City,,,,hello There's at least the Gotham Audio Society and The Audiophile Society (the magazine The Audiophile Voice grew from that). I'm sure those guys will chime in with their details; my recollection is that for The Audiophile Society the contact is David ... | |
| Anyone Bi-amping with tube high & solid state lows I biamp with Sonogy amps for 220hz on down and Lamm ML1s above that, but I have an active crossover and a 4-piece system. There are always some potential sonic continuity problems, particularly with a crossover point that high, which are minimized... | |
| Turntable Power Source Benefits Just got back from some extended golf and saw the questions. Khaki and Mot, as to your questions I respectfully defer to Albert--I have an older model, with Valid Points attached to it and a custom "bypass" feature which my seller had put in for h... | |
| Review: Antique Sound Labs Hurricane Tube amp Very nice review, Rick, seems to me you should be hosting an NJAS meeting soon! Glad to see the amps are what you had hoped. Pity you have so many tubes there, though, as I may be selling my stash of Gold Lion KT88s... By the way, if the power cor... | |
| Turntable Power Source Benefits Gotta agree with Albert, I got the Walker for my Basis for the same reason (even worse with the Ovation, you had to change the pulley to change speeds) and have been amazed at the improvement. The speed stability is a big difference, of course, bu... | |
| Terminology? Isn't Mendula Oblongada the guy sending me all those e-mails about frozen Nigerian assets? Otherwise the rest of the answers were given to you! | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! I can see the audiophile product now--"Baker's Racks"! Equipment stands with built-in heating coils above and below to cook your equipment to its optimum temperature! Deluxe model has doors which fold down (recycled ovens, of course). | |
| NOS tubes, why can't modern tubes sound better? While there is some validity to Jmcgrogan's point, remember that there always has been a profit motive in making tubes even back in the golden age of tubes, just not as emphasized as it is now. In fact, in the right circuit some modern tubes can s... | |
| Lamm ML1 question Romy: I'm still getting used to the amps, and really am discovering there's little I'd like to improve (I originally thought the dynamics were a little restrained compared to my Jadis until I recognized the difference was in the relative listening... | |
| Lamm ML1 question Thanks Rick--the Lamms are actually a partial payback from my wife for the new kitchen, and a recycling of money from the sale of my JP80. They're excellent amps, with most of the strengths of the Jadis but not the drawbacks, and they work very we... | |
| Examples of exceptional soundstaging On vinyl, the Decca La Fille Mal Garde (recently reissued by Speakers Corner, I believe) is one of the best ever, as is the Classic reissue of the Royal Ballet Gala. The recent Reference Recordings series from the Minnesota Orchestra is excellent ... | |
| Lamm ML1 question Deano: Thanks. I have a ton of Andy's Telefunken 12AX7s left over from the stock I was saving for my old JP80 which I can try; I'll talk with him about 12BH7s if I like the sound better with the Teles. |
