| EL34 Triode Integrated with 35-40 WPC?? VAC Avatar will not meet your requirement by 3 watts. Too bad. You could have had a killer amp. | |
| Which cost more: your system or your car? Same as car but 1/4 of solar hot water and PV investments to power our small house all year. Priorities.. | |
| Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio Some of the above comments regarding stereotyping may be correct in my case. I am familiar with the old Watt Puppy 8, Sophia 2 and the Maxx 3. Never heard the newer models. I will have to give another listen because based on some of the comments t... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I'm thinking of spending $xyz on a second system. I see the Superfly being good at $1500 PP. Is it better than that and what is the price point of the Essence? People paid $5K for the Essence and it sucked and the latest price for the Essence is $... | |
| How close to the real thing? To build on what Timlub says about musicians preferring different strings, etc. I know a luthier who flies around the world to choose all his own sustainable wood stock. He looks closely at different internal bracing for different sounds and playe... | |
| Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio I've heard both extensively but the Wilson's more often. Avalon would be my choice. Much more musical with great timbre and timing. The Wilson speakers are fast but dry and analytical, what I would want in a hearing aid.Both seem like great compan... | |
| JMR Offrande Supreme V2 vs GMA Calypso JMR's are awesome they just have no real support or marketing money in the US. Bob does a great job but needs JMR to stop going to concerts and start supporting an ad budget. Extremely musical speaker that is still very clean and transparent. Neve... | |
| How close to the real thing? I have friends that perform in the Boston symphony, a best friend that builds guitars for some of the top classical and flamenco performers around the world, friends that dance the clubs in London and Manhattan. None of them are at all interested ... | |
| How close to the real thing? Last time I listened to a live concert on my system I stood on my couch with a cigarette lighter for the encore. The next day my wife asked why there were burns on the ceiling. Oops. | |
| How close to the real thing? What's with the hot brands of 2002? Take some dramamine. | |
| Rush fans on the board ?? Moving Pictures. Saw Rush a couple times in the early 90's. Awesome concerts. | |
| How close to the real thing? All we need is five guys, earplugs, blindfold and a big box, like a Wilson crate, and a hand-truck. Also a Budget rental truck or even a pickup would work fine.We lug the guy around to few different venues over the coarse of a couple nights. We un... | |
| Christmas Tree Echo Control Two trees and a menorah tweak is where it's at this holiday season. Silver menorah if you can swing it, nine-branch, not seven. Wait till you hear the effect of the presents piling up in the corners. Ah the holidays. | |
| Buy tubes from Audio Research or not I had an amp sent to ARC for repair. The work was under warranty but they would not do the work unless they could re-tube it. They made $500 off a $.05 resistor. I get that they don't want problems that bad tubes could cause but that was not cheap... | |
| Speakers on carpet or bare floor? What Stanwal said is helpful. I don't know much about glass walls but it sounds like other frequencies may be more prominent to you now. Try to recreated the room boundaries you havd before, like similar placement from back and side walls etc. Adj... |
