| Is the dunlavy SC-IV still worth to buy? I'd think the Dunlavys would work fine with the Krell, although if you could find a used pair of Duntech Princesses (also designed by John Dunlavy, very similar in size and driver array to the SC-IVs, and pretty popular in the Asian market so they... | |
| What's after Supratek I had mentioned some of my impressions of it in Tbg's thread. I heard it on a number of occasions in Anna Logg's system, and helped the family sell it when she passed away a little over a year ago. The version I heard was not the current one, but ... | |
| What's after Supratek If you can live without a remote, I think Tbg would recommend the H-Cat; he used to have a Syrah and felt it was not even in the same league. Check the threads under H-Cat. I can attest that it is something special. My one experience with the VAC ... | |
| Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder Spencer: I think the Foundations also did "Now That I've Found You" (Alison Krause does a nice cover of that one), so they probably don't count. Heard them years ago at the Filmore East, the poor lead singer's monitor wasn't working well and he sa... | |
| Comment on this system. The good thing for your friend is that he can hear the combination he would be buying right there at the dealer's showroom. If the tonal balance and sound suit him (I agree with Rushton and Beemer in that I like the Eidelons a lot but have always ... | |
| Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive? I think Joe's talking about the brand, JJ Tesla. | |
| Older PURE CLASS-A Amplifiers There are a number of folks on this site who own or are big fans of the Forte Model 4, which I thought was a great little amp when I heard it years ago. You might want to check the archives. | |
| Audio Grade Fuse, Anyone? There was a thread on this a few years ago, you might want to check the archives, it was pretty interesting. If you really want to go nuts, Lloyd Walker insists (and puts it in the instructions for his motor drive, so I'd imagine it's in the instr... | |
| Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive? I know that one guy currently at my dealer (Mike O'Keefe) probably sold more Jadis than anyone in the country for many years when he was at Audio Outlet, and he's the guy who sold me my JA80s and my JP200. I'd nominate him, if the dealer is intere... | |
| I'm totally confused about Hi Rez formats I tend to agree for the most part with Mgottlieb, as I too am a classical listener and have found plenty of good new material coming out on SACD. I find myself preferring to listen to SACD over CDs, and generally don't buy many CDs anymore--while ... | |
| Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive? I agree with the posts above. The Jadis sound is extraordinarily like live music, but their equipment is expensive. I still have not heard a preamp I like better than my JP200, and the JP80 I owned for years was more than competitive with the Lamm... | |
| Instruments of the Orchestra There was a disc called Stakatto, and probably another (Stakatto 2) which, in addition to things like telephones, breaking glass, cars, planes, bowling alleys and the like, also had a number of tracks featuring solo instruments, including differen... | |
| Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL? Sutts: I agree it's no contest between either Siemens or Teles vs. Sovteks, particularly in terms of longevity (I've already had two of the Sovteks go bad on me) as well as sonically, as you mentioned. Tabl10s should wait a while before he starts ... | |
| Amplifier for Sonus Faber Extrema Best amp I ever heard with the Extremas was the big Gryphon Class A stereo amp from the late 80s/early 90s; I'd imagine their current offerings would be up to the task as well, though pricey. The above posters are right, those speakers really eat ... | |
| limitations of red book std. or something else? It is probably due to the musicians' bowing on their instruments, if it's what I think you're talking about. Surprising that it comes through so well on a recording, as you rarely can get that effect on record, but live it is very noticeable and y... |
