| The best speaker you ever heard? And I'm not so sure that he did not use the equalizer, as he does make reference to it quite a bit, and notes that the EQ might be slightly degrading the sound in the article. Where did you deduce that he wasn't using the EQ? | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? If we "all can agree" that the Bose 901s do not sound good without the EQ, what does that say about the reviewer's abilities when he praises them as much as he does? | |
| Your jaw dropping cables My experience matches Jaybo's. Maybe it's because I upgraded very gradually over the years, but I can't say that switching cables has made the type of difference you're describing. Now if I had upgraded directly from a generic patch cord to my cur... | |
| Dont laugh I know that there are some here who believe that the brand of cable does not matter much when you are dealing with balanced cables, as long as they are well-made. Your experience seems to support that view. | |
| Lamm ML 1 best power cable I like my ML 1.1s with Kubala Sosna Emotion power cords, probably because my whole system is cabled with that cable and I like the presentation of that cabling. Some might think it's a little smooth; my take is that the high frequency hash is gone... | |
| It was 44 years ago that... Ozzy--My memory is fading, but I think the record that started the longer versions of songs was probably Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone". When it first was played on AM radio they only would play the first two verses (fitting barely into the us... | |
| Winds of War and Peace Wilson Audio WCD 8823 I believe it was the person (Nchong) who did the original post in the thread. You might want to try to contact him through the Audiogon system, if he is still on it (just click on his name, there's a way to email him).I will try to see if I can fi... | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows I must agree with Frogman. I have heard Maestro Jarvi conduct a lot of concerts, and have never heard a lackluster performance with him at the podium. The man lives music, and has a special ability to get the orchestra to bring out the most of the... | |
| Winds of War and Peace Wilson Audio WCD 8823 Sorry, I believe I gave it to the OP (or someone in the UK, as I recall). Did not keep a copy that I can find. | |
| Speaker suggestions at around $30k I'll throw in the Adam Tensor Betas or Deltas--in fact, if you don't need the last octave of bass, the Deltas should work just fine for you and you'll have about $20K left over. Their highs and midrange are very realistic sounding to me, their pow... | |
| Winds of War and Peace Wilson Audio WCD 8823 I'll look through my CD collection, but I may have given the original away. | |
| Preamp for Lamm M1.1 monoblocks You could also consider a Lamm LL2 preamp, less expensive than the L2 but all tubed. Similar arrangement with the dual volume controls, and I don't believe it runs balanced either. As with most Lamm equipment, the highs are probably a little rolle... | |
| Can NOLA's "Boxer" compete with big floorstanders? I must agree with Mapman, omnis take some getting used to, but once you get used to them it is hard to go back. My speaker system is very similar in its presentation to an omni, and I have always liked the spaciousness and soundstaging of speakers... | |
| Can NOLA's "Boxer" compete with big floorstanders? I have listened on a number of occasions to the Nola Boxers, including at a local dealer's with our audio club and for a week in my 18 by 20 foot room in my system (amps are Lamm ML 1.1s). The Boxers are beautifully finished (get the cherry, the b... | |
| MoFi So Long So Wrong I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, but it's been a while since I listened, so I'll give it another listen. It's two records, are the sides numbered 1-4 (I never really look at that sort of thing), or if not, which side 2 are you referri... |
