| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Definition: Audio Neurosis - The inability to be satisfied and enjoy one's present system and the embarking on a quest to find the "perfect" component. | |
| Moving from MM to MC Nonsense! The Denon 103 mc's are true classics (and in production since 1962!). They are the best sounding cartridges under $500 of any type! My experience with the 103's goes back to 1977 when I heard one paired with a Levinson JC-1 headamp - mou... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Mark Levinson ML7! | |
| Best Class A / Class AB SS Power Amplifiers between $5000-$10,000 I vote for the Spread Spectrum Ampzilla 2000 Mono's! The last and best design from the late James Bongiorno! | |
| Enough power to drive my speakers? +1 elevick! The Legacy's will work and sound best with a 100 watt (or more!) amp. Remember that a 10db increase in volume requires 10X more power (watts). And the Line Magnetic's highish output impedance (several ohms!) will not allow it to have a... | |
| Confused about Rega and VTA.... SRA (stylus rake angle) is more important than VTA! And this is set just once for a particular tonearm/cartridge. Fiddling with VTA for every LP is a waste of time and detracts from your listening enjoyment! Set the SRA properly just once and forg... | |

| How loud is too loud Fletcher-Munson effect! Human hearing has reduced sensitivity to low and high frequency sounds as volume is reduced! Older receivers and integrated amps had a switch to compensate for this by boosting the bass and treble. This allowed quiet listen... | |
| What is meant when someone says a component is lacking soul Only "golden ears" can hear "soul"! | |
| High End is Dead? As long as the 1% own 90% of the wealth Hi End will exist! More Wilson's and Magico's coming down the assembly line! | |
| Who wants the best improvement in their system EVER! Buy the Nordost Odin 2 power cord for a mere $20K and experience SONIC NIRVANA! | |
| Most resolving Speaker Quad 57's! Peter Walker got it right! | |
| Earlier Rogers Ls35a 15ohms sonic differences Vs Later serial# Roger's 15ohms? My pair are Rogers 11ohm serial no's. 39269A and 39269B. Amps in use include: Dyna ST70, Harvard Music Futterman H3 OTL, BEL1001 and a Tim Rawson F5. Also a Quad 303 and 405. There have been many small speakers but the LS3/5A still takes first pla... | |
| Earlier Rogers Ls35a 15ohms sonic differences Vs Later serial# Roger's 15ohms? I don't remember seeing a difference in the KEF B110 woofers used in the LS3/5A's. They were supposed to be selected and matched per pair. My tech friend said that the earlier versions used an autoformer in the x-overs. As regards sonic difference... | |
