| Review: Classe Audio 70 Amplifier One only has to look at the similiar products in the review to understand where I placed the Classe 70.By no means can the Classe 70 compete with esoteric tube gear or high end Class A output amps such as Pass Labs,Threshold/Forte. Nor can it comp... | |
| Top Audio Designers Of All Time? I guess we have been a bit remiss here in not menetioning Dave Reich of Classe Audio. Have just had a listen to the DR 2 power amp. 25 watts Class A. Apparently he designed and produced some very exemplary high end audio. He has been around certai... | |
| Review: Forte 40 Preamplifier Certainley Jon would know more about that than me as he was there at the time. However there still seems to be an air of disagreement. Was this a design left behind when Pass departed or did Mikael Bladelius create this gem from scratch? Hmmmmmmm ... | |
| Chris Botti - Night Sessions This past week 10/15/03 was able to see Chris in concert again. The performance was Dave Koz and Friends. If this show comes to your area don't miss it. Along with Dave Koz,Chris Botti, the others are Jeff Lorber and Marc Antoine. If you love jazz... | |
| Review: Denon DL 103R Cartridge For that table and associated components I would recommend the Denon DL 160. Should do quite nicely. There is a review in Audiogon on the cartridge. Hard pressed to do better. | |
| Review: Forte 40 Preamplifier Many thanks to A'gon members. Late in posting this,but now have a phono card for this pre amp. It is truly stellar phono pre amp, one of the best I have heard in a long time. | |
| Review: Forte Model 4a Amplifier There is little to compare. The 1a was bi polar output while the 4a uses the IGBT output devices.You are going to be totally surprised by the sonics of the 4a. It totally blows away the 1a and the 1a was very good indeed.The 4a just effortless rep... | |
| Review: Threshold CAS-2 Amplifier Got a helluva of deal for $25.00 for the both of them The CAS 1 is rated at 75 Watts RMS per side. Typical Nelson Pass Sonics. Although it may need some service if it has not seen any. Probably get $300.00 for the CAS 1.Not sure of the Thalia prea... | |
| Review: Forte Model 4a Amplifier I would definitely try the 4a first to see if you need additional power. I have used the 4a with Acoustat Model 2 speakers with great results. Probably one of the hardest speakers to drive properly because of its widely varying ohm load.If you fee... | |
| Top Ten Turntables of All Time?? The Oracle Alexandria certainly merits a nod. While not quite in the same league as thier Delphi it offers a very high level of performance. The one in my collection is the Mark I with Sumiko Premier FT3 tone arm with Dynavector 23R MC cartridge. ... | |
| Top Ten Turntables of All Time?? There are several Rega 3 on the Audiogon site and eBay site for some very nice prices. I picked one up recently for $325.00 with Sumiko BP cartridge. Sold the cartridge for $125.00. Seeing as I have 2 more of the BP Im not using. Installed a very ... | |
| Top Ten Turntables of All Time?? Well lets throw Rega Planar into the mix here. The Model 2 and 3 have become legendary hallmark turntables almost since day one. The early versions had the Lustre Arm, then Rega developed their own arm the RB 300. The Planar 3 with Rega RB 300 ton... | |
| Review: Rega Planar 3 Turntable Update One:Have installed the Expressimo Threaded VTA Adjuster. This is a very worthwhile addition to the Rega RB 300 arm. Allows precise adjustment to get the cartridge right on to the manufacturer specifications for the cartridge you may be usin... | |
| Review: Forte Model 4a Amplifier The Forte Model 6 can be revised to a Model 4 with very little work or expense.The Model 4 has 39V rails while the Model 6 gets 76V rails. The IGBTs operate at 50 percent of SOA while the Model 6s are pushed to the limit. The biasing in the Model ... | |
| Review: Rega Planar 3 Turntable The PX 3 remains a true joy to use and listen to. Recently found an Sumiko Acrylic Mat. Using it on the PX 3. This has made a tremendous difference. The PX 3 with this simple addition has moved several steps up on sonic signature. Separation and s... |
