| Affordable Power for Thiel CS 2.0s I would also echo the use of the CJ solid state (Motif and MF series), as the others have, I should have mentioned them earlier. And if you can get one of CJ's earlier Premiere tubed amps, you might not care about some slightly weaker bass!Unsound... | |
| Notice how many SACD collections for sale? I guess you could say the same thing about DVD-A, except there's not as many people with collections to sell so it's not so noticeable. :~)While I think the hi-rez medium isn't likely to replace the CD, either as SACD or DVD-A, I'm very happy to k... | |
| Does Lamm L1 sounds as sweet as Lamm LL2 ??? Steve, I thought you said in another recent post you were buying an LS-5? What gives?Since no one else has posted yet, I'll post some analogous impressions. I have not listened to an L1 at any length, but have listened to its successor, the L2 (wh... | |
| What's the difference between LS series, SP series Well, a line stage is often called a preamplifier these days, so that's part of the confusion. In the days when vinyl was the primary source, a preamplifier used to always include both a line stage (to handle line-level sources such as a tuner, CD... | |
| Affordable Power for Thiel CS 2.0s I would guess you like the tube sound but need a bit more power. If you can find an ARC D100.2 (their solid state amplifier, now replaced by the 150.2), I think it would be a good match for the Thiels. I used an NAD 2200 with Thiel CS-3s for a whi... | |
| New book on "Audio, Acoustics and Perception" Thanks, Duke, for sharing this with us, it's something I've always wanted to see. | |
| What's the difference between LS series, SP series That is the difference. LS=line stage; SP=stereo preamplifier. PH=phono preamplifier, too. | |
| I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris. Sirspeedy, echoing Gmorris's post, I think your attitude and experience mirror that of many in the club, including myself. And I like to program music meetings as well as equipment, yours would be a system for listening to music. I still have vivi... | |
| I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris. Sirspeedy, we have GOT to get you into the NJ Audio Society so you can host a meeting!!!! | |
| Archiv Productions Archiv is, I believe, the early music sister company of DG. They have a number of fine artists, including many fine performances by Trevor Pinnock and the English Concert. Their recordings are generally quite clear and clean, not necessarily natur... | |
| LS-5 quality against today preamps ??? My opinion is that it is still an excellent-sounding preamp, though I personally think the Lamm is a slightly better-sounding unit, having the musicality that is the LS-5's strong suit but just a little more clarity, dynamics and low-level detail ... | |
| Would Jadis Orchestra work for Dunlavy IV? I agree with Joe (Trelja) about the interconnects, we really would need to know your preferences before we could recommend anything, but save them for last after you've lived with your choice of amp for a while. DA30 vs. 60?--well, I have heard th... | |
| I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris. In all seriousness, looking at the pictures of your room, you have great gear already, but how big is the room? The thing that has most impressed me about Avalon speakers (Sirspeedy, if you ever sell those Ascents you've lost your mind--classics i... | |
| I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris. Make sure you've got enough equity in your home for the mortgage? | |
| Would Jadis Orchestra work for Dunlavy IV? I wouldn't be surprised since, of all the Jadis amps up to the JA-200, the JA-30 had, in my opinion, the best bass performance. And I do like the DA integrateds even better than the Orchestra. They should let you take it home if you agree to buy i... |
