| Reviewing the Reviewers Djjd I guess the air is indeed full of irony as you anticipated it would in your last paragraph. No surprises there given your attack on Trejla which sounds personal to me. All I read in Trejla's remarks was a personal distain for a particular wri... | |
| Worst speakers at Stereophile show Hotcrocket you forgot Dkuipers (maybe he is the 3rd?) also posts as DK on AA. Don't worry about how others hear them, we know better everytime we listen. As I well know, there is no speaker for everyman nor will there ever be. | |
| Trascendent Sound Grounded Grid preamp Bluenose I believe the N.E.W. was a Nelson Pass design. I remember hearing their 20 watt Class A amp at an audio show years ago and being duly impressed. There was a thread on this not too long ago. Check out Transcendent on the forum search funct... | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers Djjd and Detlof, I think you guys misunderstand Mr. Salvatore. He is the Annointed One who holds the truth. In the truth is salvation for the misguided fools who know not better. There is no irony or hyprocrisy when you are absolutely right. Altho... | |
| "more forgiving speakers" Everyone above as made very good points and I sure can relate. Onhwy61 your point is especially well made and reflects my sentiments to a T. I used to be in the forgiving camp when I first got into hi-end. Over the years either my hearing got wors... | |
| OTL amps After listening to a pair of Transcendent mono's a month or so back, I knew I had to go OTL. I just received mine a few days ago and to say that this amp "transcends" any type of electronic signature is about the most apt description I can give. J... | |
| Trelja in New York Djjd – Let me explain my defense of Trejla. Hi-end audio is a very specialized field with a relatively small group of individuals and a very small group of manufacturers. Most of us live in markets where these products aren’t readily available for... | |
| Trelja in New York Macm and Djjd, I didn't really feel that Trejla was "reviewing" anything but rather offering his opinion on how things sounded at the show. The remarks concerning Talon speakers in particular seems to reflect what has been typically stated about t... | |
| Trelja in New York Nice report Joe. Now if you're ever down Florida way, I'm a stone throw away from Plastic World, stop by for a Merlin demo. Show conditions are horrendous in most instances. I remember the worst I ever heard Vandersteen sound was at a show. So wha... | |
| SS versus Tubes Amen Rushton. To all the ss guys that say nay to the valve and all the valve freaks who say transistors don't pass I say there is hope maybe compomise at lastand the answer it lay in OTL amps.....their fast!!!Oh well, nothing's perfect. | |
| Opinions of MIT MH 750 speaker cable Sorry I don't know how this thread got off topic. Just noticed that Twilo never even asked about AP cables. | |
| Opinions of MIT MH 750 speaker cable Twilo - I own both the Oval 9's and the 770 Series 2 tube Reference which I bought after hearing the 750's. I really feel the Analysis Plus are very good cables. They offer clarity and transparency without any rolloff. There is NO LOSS in the tran... | |
| Best Find Ever??? I have a buddy that picked up a stock Marantz 7 pre-amp in excellent condition cosmetically at a flea market for 50.00 about 12 years ago. That is about the best audio deal that I have ever heard of. I know another guy that picked up an old D-100,... | |
| Party At Albertporter s Albert We have all been waiting for this inevitable event to take place and Kitch, a thanks to you for bringing it all together. I'll bring the Samba for the go-go girls to dance to. Oh btw, Albert do you think Mrs. Porter is going to mind too much? | |
| Favorite Audio Ad Several years back there was an ad I found visually very stunning (great photography) but conceptually, I just did't get the point. It was the Red Rose or was it Cello? ad with Mark Levinson, a naked woman and an apple as props. Now what the hell ... |
