| Pass XA200.8 Review - Fun measurements I read the measurements and they are quite respectable and aren't pejorative in substance or assessment. I'm not sure of the point of this post, other than an axe to grind with the concept of Pass? These amps are massive, heavy, and there are tw... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? I'm offering a like new, current model, Accuphase preamp with the optional phono for 65% below US retail. The offers I get aren't absurd but are so low that I'd buy the unit again, even though I already have one. ;) I chalk it up to summer distr... | |
| too bad Audiogon seems to have morphed to fussy, picky buyers oddiofyl, you assert: "So many Pay Pal scammers." I suspect you haven't had any real experience. I've sold hundreds of luxury items through Audiogon and my own website and my preferred payment method is PayPal since, unlike credit cards, they a... | |
| Transfiguration Proteus I'm late to this discussion. I picked up a lightly used Proteus and found the active vs transformer opinions aren't so clear cut. I’ve now had a chance to listen to the Proteus with several configurations. It’s pretty sensitive to the amplificat... | |
| Bergmann Magne I recently purchased a demo (prior-dealer) Sindre and have been in contact with Bergmann in Denmark. They have been very responsive and supportive.I love the table. It has a quality of solidity in the stereo presentation which I've not heard befor... | |
| Cartridge goes well with Goldmund Studio T3F arm? I picked up a Studio/T3F, with Transfiguration Temper, used a few years ago, for about $2000, in good cosmetic condition, with boxes and accessories, and found that I liked it much more than the Luxman 444/SME V/Cardas combination. (The Luxman was... | |
| Goldmund Studio - still relevant today? Regarding the modifications which use a lighter counterweight at a further distance: Isn't the effective mass of the arm increased by moving a counterweight further from the pivot? The effective mass has to do with the product of the mass of the w... | |

| Are marantz power amps any good? In the mid to late 90s, I had the pleasure of owning 4ea of the MA-22 class AB mono power amps. They were awesome. I liked them so much, I later upgraded them to 4ea of the MA-24 which were 30w class A units. These sounded very good but truth b... | |
| audio research REF 150 Just spent a couple full days using a demo 150 with my Martin Logan CLX full range electrostatics. Even though the MLs have a tough impedance that drops to an ohm at high frequencies, the best sounding tap by a large margin was the 16 ohm connecti... | |
| Bi-amping MartinLogan SL3's? I've biamped Martin Logans for the last 8 yrs, first Quests and then Prodigies. I find it makes a great difference, especially if you can adjust the relative levels between the bass and the panels. This way you can balance the system to the room. ... | |
| An Upgrade to Levinson 23.5 I recently upgraded a pair of Levinson 27.5 (biamping) to a pair of Accuphase A50's. I couldn't be more pleased. | |
| More gain using XLR cables????? This happens because you have a plus and minus version of the same signal, hence the voltage across the balanced signal is twice that of a single ended signal(RCA). The formula for converting this factor of 2 to dB is 20*log(2)or 6dB. | |
