| Is Apogee in a class by itself among planars? Kr4, For an excellent primer on the differences between ribbons, planars, and electrostats, see the following link, beginning on page 10: http://www.eminent-tech.com/Manuals/LFT-8Manual.PDF | |
| Proceed AVP2 locked up solution ? By the way, I am pretty sure that a power surge caused my problem. Did you notice anything with the power prior to your problem arising? | |
| Proceed AVP2 locked up solution ? I had the same exact problem - flashing red light and all. I am technically challenged, so I sent it to Madrigal. They fixed it within a week of receiving it and shipped it back promptly. If it is not an inconvenience, I would call Madrigal and se... | |
| Is Apogee in a class by itself among planars? Correction: As noted above, the Apogees (and Maggie IIIa's) are ribbons, and not planars. I think Audio Asylum, which I read alot, got me associating planars with ribbons because they title their forum the "Planar" forum, although ribbons and elec... | |
| Is Apogee in a class by itself among planars? They are very nice speakers. I agree that they make the music sound "live." I feel that detail and transparency of the Stages are top notch. I disagree with your statement about the detail of the speakers. Like the cliche goes, it is like putting ... | |
| Best processor that is excellent for 2 Ch music I just finished my search for a good 2 Channel processor. I owned the following: Lexicon CP-2. CP-3. DC-1 and DC-2; Cary P-7; and the Proceed AVP and AVP-2 Plus 6. The Proceed AVP, which is in your budget range, would be my preferred pre-pro. Imag... | |
| Best amp s for Quad 988 please? I second the EL34 recommendation. I have a Cary V12R with my 988s that really mske the music palpable/holographic. I have never felt the need to crank the volume on my preamp past the 10:00 to 11:00 position. I also tried a Dynaco ST-70 that worke... | |
| Worst Name for A Piece of Equipment Von Gaylord.Not that there is anything wrong with it. | |
| Proceed AMP5 in protective mode Is your amp less than 5 years old? Harman Specialty Group honors Proceed warranties, at least that has been my recent experience with my AVP-2. | |
| Cary Preamps I own the SLP-98P. Before that, I had a Cary SLI-80 integrated amp. Both have the characteristic Cary house sound, warm and sweet with musicality up the wazoo. I had a Musical Fidelity A300 integrated amp before I got into Cary gear. The MF is muc... | |
| Thoughts on Quad 989 amp selection? I have Quad 988s. I am very pleased with my Cary V12R amp, so much so that I no longer have "upgrade-itis". | |
| Mapleshade Samson racks? I have the 3 shelf Sampson rack with the 4" maple shelf and isoblocks on top. The rack is the 26" x 19" size. It is very heavy and stable in my room. My floor is concrete and carpet. I have a VPI Aires II with the JMW 9 unipivot arm sitting on top... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster Turntable Hum, Help I had a similar problem with my Aries II. Are you using a MM cartridge? A MC cartridge should eliminate the hum. I replaced my Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood MM cartridge with a Dynavector 20VX-H MC cartridge, and the hum was eliminated. I wanted to be ... | |
| TV talk - Reliable TV - Tube, LCD, plasma... I have the 30 inch version of the Sony for my bedroom. The picture is very, very nice. The stretch modes, which converts 4:3 to 16:9, are excellent. I prefer the wide screen mode to 4:3. If you settle on a 16:9 tv, be sure to check out the stretch... | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal vs. Acoustic Zen Matrix I tried both earlier this year. The Analysis Plus Solo Crystal cables, in my system, were more holographic. Voices seemed to be more in the room. However, the Acoustic Zen Matrix cables were more controlled in the lower bass. I have Quad ESL-63 sp... |
