| Totem Model 1 Signature vs The One The One is far superior. Just remember, it won't be around long, unless of course you find it secondhand.The Mani 2 is a totally different animal altogether. You are correct about amp matching--very critical. | |
| Bedini Class "A" 200/200 power amp vs. MC-2205? Nice stories all around, thanks for sharing.My question, Umsceletric, is why you assumed the Mac gear would obliterate the Bedini? Perhaps with a different speaker it would be true. It's all about synergy, even with vintage gear. | |
| Bedini 803 fuse values yes, that is correct!and, I can't understand why people keep saying to call or contact Bedini! They have folded! Gary is doing something entirely different. No more Bedini as an amplifier company! | |
| Has anybody heard the new Audio Research LS 27? Good point, but he does mention comparisons several times, so it's hardly glaring. Besides, if you can't pop for a REF5, then the LS27 is as close as you'll get, unless someone would "give" you a REF3. ah, in my dreams... | |
| Has anybody heard the new Audio Research LS 27? Thanks for posting the review. He's right about the LS27...but I never liked the LS26. Go hear what's great about the new line of ARC models, any of you detractors may just change your minds.... | |
| Have you become too jaded with this hobby??? I'm not the least bit jaded by the hobby itself. You meet some of the nicest, smartest, funniest people. You're connected to a world of appreciation for the arts, for design, for knowledge. If done well it invigorates, soothes, restores, the human... | |
| Vandersteen 3A sig , on the naked If you ever saw one "naked" in the flesh, it is very unappealing, and nothing to do with nostalgic! butt ugly comes to mind. if you listen with the lights off, fine, otherwise, buy another speaker. | |
| Harbeth 7es2 vs Harbeth 7es3 a much tighter, seemingly lower bass, for one.also an increase in clarity. definitely noticeable. | |
| Harbeth 7es2 vs Harbeth 7es3 Somebody's fibbing somewhere.....the 7-2's and 7-3's are somewhat close in overall sound, but the 7-3's have tighter, deeper bass, overall clarity is way up, more detail. If you can find a nicely priced 7-2, not one that has been messed with, you'... | |
| Has anybody heard the new Audio Research LS 27? Differences of opinion, obviously, or other gear or rooms, but I am one who finds the LS27 superior.and I agree with Elizabeth, those that want to bash go right ahead...ARC has, thankfully, had their best years these past 3 yrs. And, also thankful... | |
| Speakers for Leben CS 300XS Howdy...agreed, Devores would be great.Skip the Harbeths this time around. You really need more power (and I love the Harbeths)One you may not be familiar with is the Totem Sttafs---a thing of beauty with the lil Leben.One other thing, PLEASE do n... | |
| Differences between Tannoy Stirling and Turnberry? I would love to hear Tannoys! I've heard that the best Tannoys are those with a 15" woofer. | |
| Shure V15 XMR Vs DV-20XH I had the Shure once, thank god I saw the light and ditched it. Frank, those 2 cartridges are not even close, not even by a country mile! | |
| Dynavector XV-1S tracking force issue Br2600, you've done just fine! Good ears over dogma anyday.Enjoy! | |
| active crossover freqncy for Totem Mani2 Also, just to be thourough, what stands are you using? Can make a big difference, although you were more concerned about amp clipping, sorry.Agree with last posts, I think you've gone about as far as you can go with your Accuphase. Love it or move... |
