| "Krell" is a buzzword Was in Italy last year and drove the 156 Sportwagon. Gotta have one with the V-6 and a stick! GM, as you know, has a stake in the company and is rumored to be planning a stateside ALFA comeback within two years through Buick dealers. I heard the s... | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword you are to be commended. I have a singular '63 Giulia Spider carrying a blueprinted 2-liter in a most tastefully modified show car body. Rapid transit, indeed! E dolce! | |
| New Enya Album CFD, you gotta like "The Celts," no? | |
| CJ Premier 11A w/ CJ17LS or Premier 14? try to audition a sample of each. Obviously, a difficult challenge. I own one and have extensively auditioned the other. I prefer the 16LS over either. | |
| SACD - Another year and ... I've heard what, IMO, is the creme-de-la-creme of SACD players--the Accuphase 100-101 ttransport-DAC system, which plays SACD, Red Book and DVD-A. It's stunning and extremely pricey. I've also heard, at length, the Accuphase DP-75v 24/192 oversamp... | |
| SACD Demo Cornfed-- Much of interest in your post. Also re-read Reprince' re: holding back on the purchase of an SACD player until the dust settles or until more software is available. I think your approach is the best alternative at this point. As I unders... | |
| SACD Demo I, too, was at the Audio Unlimited demo in Denver (I live here) and have counted AU's owner John Barnes as a personal friend for a number of years--so there's no holds barred between us when it comes to audio. I heard the new Accuphase DP-75v 24/1... | |
| Anybody knows about NBS cables? I also tried the best Harmonic Tech, XLO, WireWorld and Tara. I don't think any of them had, overall, what the Mon 3s have. The NBS have over 200 hours on them and I'm most satisfied with what I'm hearing--they just keep getting better. And yes, t... | |
| Using a demagnitizer on compact Discs? How can you demagnetize a metal 9aluminum, gold) that cannot be magnetized because it doesn't possess magnetic properties? | |
| The best and worst Audiogon poster's Just happened to stop by for a read. This is certainly an interesting thread. The above from Tml2 is a textbook display of arrested mental development. Tell me, Tm12, do you also stamp your feet and throw objects when you get into these rants? I t... | |
| Apogee Acoustics Caliper,which amp? Jason Bloom used Classe' amps designed by Dave Reich (the DR series: 6,7,8,9 and 10--the last called the "Ten" with an owner's manual stating it was a DR-10). The synergism was excellent with Apogees. BTW, Jason also used SYMO (Swiss) speaker cabl... | |
| Cello, Rowland, Pass, OR Accuphase? A close friend and Accuphase/Avalon dealer here in Denver--John Barnes of Audio Unlimited has been demonstrating the Eidolons with all Accuphase gear (a pair of A50s and the 290 preamp, along with the DP-75 CD player) since the speakers came out. ... | |
| Anybody knows about NBS cables? Have on order two pair NBS Monitor IV ICs after auditioning them for a week. I've been running Goertz Micro-Purls and have been extremely pleased until I put the NBS into the system. A whole new world--wider, deeper, very dimensioanl (fuller), eve... | |
| Ear Candy: Most startling recordings. Anything by Yello. Their CDs still stand as some of the very best technical discs you'll find, and the stuff on'em is pretty good, as well. A "must" for any CD library. | |
| Most overpriced audio component made ICs, speaker cable, power cords head the list, but take a closer look at speakers and hardware. Much of the cost of many speakers is in cabinetry (particularly book-matched veneers) and custrom metal work on amps and preamps. It's all part of the ... |
