| True Sound Works Apogee Diva Ultimate - Any Good? The speakers you listed are all very different from each other. Which one you choose will depend on your room and associated equipment to a large degree -- some require a large room, and some require enormous power and/or biamping. I have not hear... | |
| Any experience with EZ-80s, 5687s or Bendix 6900s? Considering he has been made aware of the replies, I am very disappointed. | |
| Clearaudio master reference vs Feickert Blackbird Altanpsx, I was the first Kuzma dealer to set up a 4Point on an SME 30/2 for a customer. The customer had purchased a blank armboard from SME (they refuse to machine one for anything but their own arms, yet the blank armboard was $1200), which was... | |
| Any experience with EZ-80s, 5687s or Bendix 6900s? Apologies are very much called for by the two posts after mine. I also asked questions about your strong accusations of the distributor stealing "your" DAC chip and screwing up your player. Add to that the kicking of someone while he's down (perma... | |
| Any experience with EZ-80s, 5687s or Bendix 6900s? Brian Kyle of Xtreme AV in southern California sent you the Bendix 6900s on good faith that you would send him the money for them. I understand they were good and strong when he had them, yet only now the performance of the tubes is brought up. Th... | |
| Clearaudio master reference vs Feickert Blackbird One of my customers has a Clearaudio Master Reference turntable with Kuzma 4Point tonearm and Clearaudio Goldfinger v2 cartridge. Before the 4Point he had a Clearaudio TQi with upgrades. It wasn't close.My recommendation is stick with your Feicker... | |
| shindo vs. atma-sphere If you are using amplification with balanced inputs, especially if a balanced design internally, Atma-Sphere may well be your choice. Single ended equipment can be used very satisfactorily as well, as explained on the Atma-Sphere website.Atma-Sphe... | |
| Soundlab speakers Hi Albert, I don't have anything to add to what you and Tom have said. Reliability has dramatically improved. You should come up for a listen soon! My new large dedicated room will be complete in a month or so.Brian | |
| RMAF 2013 - An Exhibitors perspective. One has no idea of what is involved until doing a show. Although I have assisted some of my suppliers with setup for THE Show in Las Vegas, having a room at Axpona this year for my business was a first, and an exhausting one at that, even though m... | |
| Wilson Alexia vs Raidho D3 Knghifi, you are correct. But some people believe what they read, and when a dealer doesn't voluntarily include a disclaimer it is deservedly subject to question and criticism, especially when the thread is not about what the dealer is pushing. | |
| Soundlab speakers No, but I expect they would work fine. Your best bet is to visit a dealer who will let you try the amps on the speakers. | |
| Soundlab speakers By December the U-1PXs here which incorporate all of the current technology will be on demonstration in the new large state of the art demo room being built, driven by MA-1s.Sound Lab and Atma-Sphere dealer, Chicago area. | |
| Lyra Kleos: tracking force/VTA/azimuth questions Dinster, the Fosgometer measures channel levels and crosstalk. The Feickert software also measures phase, and adjusting azimuth to achieve minimum phase error correlates much better with what we hear. | |
| Anyone tried the Kuzma Stabi M yet? Yes, it uses a powerful 3-phase DC motor. The Stabi M was introduced last year at the Munich hifi show and was demonstrated at CES this past January. I have not heard it outside of shows. | |
| Specimen Products Hornling Speakers Sorry to rain on your parade but IMO horns tend to benefit from tubes if fidelity is what you are pursuing. |
