| Pre-Amp for Parasound JC-1 Perhaps a Sonic Frontiers Line 3. | |
| CJ PV series + SS amp Hope you don't mind a suggestion that is outside your list. I think the McCormacks are a perfect match with Vandersteens and a near perfect match with c-j. The high input impedance of the McCormack presents a kind load to tubes, though, the high s... | |
| Essay bashing Primedia, Stereophile - and Audiogon You gotta love these guys who have most of their "reference systems" gratis from long term loans complaining about sucker audiophiles trying to get the best value for their money by working amongst themselves and cheating reviewers and a fabrictat... | |
| Imaging and soundstage My minimal experience echoes (Ha!) Rives suggestion. Interesting, with out any previous knowledge of Stehno's recommendation, I found my speakers to be with in 3" of his guidelines at the longest length and dead on with regard to the two others. | |
| Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Khrys, electricity has replaced the winding and the megaphone. For a romantic evening, I'll take the candles and fire. If I had to choose one or the other on a day to day basis, I'll take the space heater and the incandescents. | |
| Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Seantaylor99, electricity seems so have replaced winding megaphone-ographs. Somethings just take more time than others. | |
| True Fully Balanced Amplifiers Zaikesman, I could be wrong about this, but, I believe Pass uses one sigle ended push and one single ended pull per channel, to provide "symmetrical" single ended balanced designs. Does seem like an oxymoron, doesn't it? | |
| Veneer repair for Thiel 3.0a's. Call Thiel, IMO the best customer service in the business. | |
| Ageless Music? Music that is played often enough to be recognized, yet not played too often to be repulsive. | |
| Anyone's opinion about VTL amps? I've never heard any other tube amps best them in bass response. I did find them a bit forward. All in all I liked them. My biggest concern is (please understand this is not from personal experience!) is VTL's reputation for customer service. | |
| HDCD & SACD Denon. | |
| Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Muralman1, please take this in the manner in which it is intended. I'm not trying to unduly attack the Apogees. I'm sure that you'll agree that they are a rather unique speaker. One that puts a unusual load on amps, requires more than typical care... | |
| Thiel CS5i's VS other Thiel Lines I've have heard the CS5i head to head against the 3.6's, but, not head to head with the others. The CS5i was better in every way to my ears. Mind you the CS5i seemed to be very fussy about amplification and room, not that the 3.6's are particularl... | |
| Is there a statistics of ... Interesting idea. One problem might be that many audiophiles systems seem to change so often. | |
| Carver ZR 1600 drives low impedance Eldartford, thank you. I've been considering digital amplification. I have high hopes for this technology. With the exception of the eAR stuff, there has been a bit of buzz claiming that digital amps didn't do well into low impedances. Your contri... |
