| What's your favorite MFSL Another one that no one has mentioned is Getz/Gilberto. Listened to it today and it's also special. | |
| New Guarneri Memento vs. Old Guarneri Homage At0310t, not sure what Milimetr feels about this, but IMHO the main concern that one has when buying older speakers is to make sure that the driver surrounds are not dried out. Also, to check that the speakers haven't been overdriven, thereby dama... | |
| New Guarneri Memento vs. Old Guarneri Homage Semi, what equipment were you using with the GH's and the Amati's?You say GH's were' closed in', this is odd as the GH's are essentially small monitors and their imaging abilities are well known and are one of their substantial strengths ( Frankly... | |
| New Guarneri Memento vs. Old Guarneri Homage Semi, while I certainly believe that you are entitled to your opinion, I disagree with what you have said. From what I can tell from your prior threads, you once owned the Amati's and now own the Aerial 20t's. In one of your prior posts you actual... | |
| New Guarneri Memento vs. Old Guarneri Homage Never fear Pinkus, I'm here..:0)I have been reading this thread with great interest. Basically, I completely agree with Milimetr's review. Frankly, the only thing I would add is that IMHO neither speaker is a bass champ. The Mementos do dip a litt... | |
| The mighty CAT preamp All jokes aside, I still would like to get some opinions from other 'Gon'erswho have moved away from the CAT and also from those who have heard the Renaissance. | |
| The mighty CAT preamp Tpreaves, was that an upgrade? Sounds like a lateral move to me..:0) | |
| The mighty CAT preamp That's very interesting Spectron. I personally have not had to re-tube that often, in fact I have had my current tube set about two years and all still seems fine. I do agree that at certain gain levels the CAT is not dead quiet, some slight tube ... | |
| Questions for Sonus Faber owners Rubinken, That is interesting, however, I am more concerned about how to replace the strings if necessary and not to pull them tighter. I suspect that as they age, pulling the strings tighter will not be an option as theirelasticity will fail and ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Sound Flg2001 and Kiwi 1282001, What pre-amps are/ were you using when you had the Rowlands in the system and now with the Gryphons? IMHO the preamp of choice has a very BIG influence on the sound of the amp, among of course many other things, like cabl... | |
| Magico Mini II vs. Magico V2 comparison Milimetr, unless I missed it, I do not see what is your preference as far as music goes. You say that the Wilson's and the Magico's are more dynamic than the GH's. I would agree that for 'headbangers' that that statement would hold true. Also, if ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Sound Guido, I like my JRDG 8 well enough to not seek another ss amp.However, I am curious to try a tube amp with my SF's.I am thinking of the Tenor's or the CAT amps. Any other suggestions? | |
| Jeff Rowland Sound Guido, I heard my 8 with a model 501 in comparison. The 501 is a good amp, but was a little outclassed by my 8 IMHO.Audiofeil, I have noticed that you pop up in many threads always with a consistant theme...NEVER anything positive to contribute an... | |
| Jeff Rowland Sound I have to agree with JMCgrogan2 that the sweet spot of Jeff's line were the 2/6/8 and 9s. My model 8 with choke is IMHO far warmer than the later class D amps.I have compared this amp to several ss amps and the only other ss amps that I could live... | |
| Magico Mini II vs. Magico V2 comparison Milimetr,your statement about the Guarneri Memento being less transparent is interesting. One of the AB's my 'phile friends and I have done is a comparison between the SF GH'sand the SF GM's. This was very instructive since the GM's lost out in al... |
