| To ARS Sonum/Merlins owners - Which CD player ? I bought the Capitole shortly after purchasing the Filarmonia. The Capitole replaced the Accustic Arts transport which replaced the Audiomeca transport. I prefer the Capitole over the others, but this too is in the process of being sold. I'm tired... | |
| Atma Sphere S30 amp Pubul57,As I mentioned I owned the Joule VZN-80. For the most part it was a wonderful amp although occasionally a little shrilly in the highs and I wouldn't call it a full spectrum sounding amp, and it ran HOT. I will say that it provided wonderfu... | |
| Atma Sphere S30 amp Pubul57, we're getting a little off the topic with regards to the original post, but how does the RM10 sound with your Merlins? | |
| Atma Sphere S30 amp Pubul57, thanks for the advice. That's 22K cheaper than Bobby's suggestion: Audio Aero Prestige amplifier. | |
| Atma Sphere S30 amp Clio09,I listened to the Jazz Modules on Saturday. I brought along my Berning ZH270, but unfortunately I wasn't really taken with Jazz Modules and Berning combination. The highs were slightly bright and thin, and I was still missing a lot of the s... | |
| Atma Sphere S30 amp Pubul57,Wow you went from a CAT JL2 to the M-60s?! That really says a lot about Atma-sphere's OTLs.I too have Merlins (actually we almost have identical configurations with the exceptions of the amps). I've had both the Joule VZN-80 and Berning ZH... | |
| Atma Sphere S30 amp Clio09 I see you have a pair of Jazz Modules. Those 70 watt KT88s don't do it for you? Coincidently I'm going to listen to a pair of Jazz Modules this weekend and I'm bringing along my Berning ZH270. I'm actually more interested in how the an 845 ... | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more I've been following this thread closely (through all the exciting twist and turns); I really have nothing to add other than I'm on a similar pursuit. The Audio Notes ARE wonderful, although I just demo-ed a pair in my listening room and sadly they... | |
| Long ICs versus long speaker cables Hi Al,Excellent informative post!I have a Joule LA-150 which has a switchable output impedance of 400 Ohms & 1200 Ohms according to the website. Is that low enough?This would also explain why several Shindo owners have advised not to use ICs l... | |
| Long ICs versus long speaker cables Mucho gracious all.I just sent Cardas email with regards to what George Cardas recommends. They said long interconnects and short speaker cables.As Stanwal pointed out: the cost of long Golden Ref. speaker cables are very expensive; even at a used... | |
| Speakers this way, or that, with cathedral ceiling Hodu,I too have a similar room with possibly a more extreme configuration (my wife's remodeling idea). My listening room is 20x14 which opens to the dinning room/kitchen that is the other half of a huge 20x22 space. The apex of the cathedral ceili... | |
| Joule Electra LA 150 MK2 upgrade Hi Rafael,Yes you're correct Signature Sound sells them for $11,800.I'm aware that all the Joule preamps have remotes. That's what I love about them, compared to other wonderful preamps I would also consider to be in Joule's (150MkII) league like ... | |
| Joule Electra LA 150 MK2 upgrade Adampeter,While I too am sitting on the fence on this upgrade, it's really a no brainer for me. If you already own the LA 150 MkII, $1,750 is nothing compared to putting out 14K for the LA 300 (actually the fully balanced LA 450ME would be the one... | |
| Amps for tube-a-holics? Thanks for the reply AFC! Looking at your system I see that you've just recently switched from circuits to tubes, and you have quite a collection of components too.I've been totally dedicated to OTL amps since one of the ribbons on my Maggies shre... | |
| Merlins & Speaker Wire Robert,I have a pair of TG Audio HSR 8ft speaker cables with new TG jumpers if you're interested, but I would want a little more for them than what you're willing to pay. I bought them to compare to my Cardas. |
