| headphone amp under $350 I've heard very good things about the ASL. I'll look into the others that were mentioned as well. Thanks. | |
| Best stand mounted monitors Take a look at the Shamrock Audio Eire. It's internet only so you have to deal with Mike, the designer and builder. If you do a search on shamrock audio at audioasylum you'll find alot of posts by and about him. Mike's a great guy and I've had no ... | |
| Tube pre/linestage to use w/Plinius SA100 Mk.III I used an Audiovalve Eklipse with an SA 100/3 to very good effect. I thought that the pair were very synergistic. The Eklipse is not rolled off, and has in fact some pretty impressive bass. While it may err on the darker, richer side of things, it... | |
| ATC SCM12 and 50wpc Manley Stingray? Sc53 -- I like the floorstanding ProAc D15, but will try to hear the 1SC as well. Thanks for the suggestion. | |
| ATC SCM12 and 50wpc Manley Stingray? Thanks again, all.I will certainly give the SCM12 a home audition (probably sometime next month) and give a report of how it goes. I expect to compare it against a Shamrock Eire, Proac D15, and if I can get one in, the Harbeth M30.The Stingray doe... | |
| ATC SCM12 and 50wpc Manley Stingray? Thanks all for the comments received so far. Misskuma -- to address the issue that you raised. I used to have a pretty serious tube preamp and solid state power amp, but I decided that I wanted to simplify things and travel a little lighter than t... | |
| Green Mountain1.5si vs AP's Virgo II: Pros/Cons? I haven't heard the AP's, but did have the Green Mountain 1.5 in for an audition. Man are these great speakers. Completely coherent, wonderfully balanced, great top to bottom extension. The mid and tweeter "disappear" like great mini-monitors and ... | |
| Review: Sunfire True Sub Mk. IV Subwoofer You don't happen to know what changes were made between the Mark II and the Mark IV, do you? I have the Mark II and agree with your assessment. I find that using a low crossover (around 40 or so) and with the sub out of the corner, the integration... | |
| Review: Van L Quartet Monitor Hopefully not too late to revive this thread. I've thought about stopping by VanL to listen to these speakers as well. Have you had any problems with room integration/interaction considering the side firing drivers?In what size room have you tried... | |
| Audio Valve Eklipse vs Other Tubed Pre-Amps Glad to have been of any help. I sort of envy you your ability to swap out different speakers depending upon the music you play, but I think I'd go mad juggling all those different sounds. What amp/amps are you using? I understand what you said ab... | |
| Audio Valve Eklipse vs Other Tubed Pre-Amps I bought my Eklipse after comparing it with the CJ PV12, Art Audio, Kora Eclipse, Kora Equinoxe, Belles, and Plinius CDLad (I have the Plinius SA100/3 amp). Ultimately, it came down to a battle of the Ek/clipses. The Kora added a bit of sweetness ... | |
| Any cheap silver cables for Talon Khorus? I also recommend trying out the cables from Homegrown Audio. I was very impressed at how much I enjoyed their Super Silver interconnects at only about US$90/meter.Their speaker cables are also pretty impressive at about $25/foot.I would also highl... | |
| former BAT vk200 owners-what did you move up to? I auditioned the vk200, the clayton m100 monoblocks (till I could try the s40) and the plinius sa100mkIII. I think that stevegolf1 described the BAT deadon. It did have very impressive bass, but the treble felt a little rolled off (hence, it was h... | |
| Plinius amp and Conrad-Johnson 16LS I have the plinius sa100 and have paired it with the audiovalve eklipse. I tried a number of different tube preamps with the amp (one of the lower CJs, not the 16ls), and the eklipse got me. It is clean, clear, felt remarkably transparent and has ... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers If you spent approx $1k on source, 2k on electronics (either an integrated, or separates) and 2k on speakers, you could have a pretty great sounding system. You could probably get a better integrated in your price range than separates (unless you ... |
