| Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level Oh yes. I forgot all about Accustat. I heard the 2+2's at a Linn dealer 30+ years ago and liked the sound very much. But so much has changed since then. Trying a pair in my system would be a very Interesting experiment except I don't think my ceil... | |
| Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level Agear,I need to get the Sound Labs backplates replaced in the next few months before you can stop over for a listen. Ideally I'd like to have the CAT amps up and running too. That will knock your socks off.As for panel speakers doing the magic, sa... | |
| Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level Outstanding review John. I think people miss the Lampi magic with the lack of due diligence.So very true. But true for many tube and non-tube products which people boot out and in with another to their system rather than to recognize the product's... | |
| Suggestions? Tubed linestage pre-amp?? Ghost - The Callisto is more $ for good reason .the Calypso sounds like a toy compared to the Callisto. | |
| London Decca Thank you so much, Noromance great ideas. But sadly, no change. I will try to borrow phono stage and see if that changes things. And I have a friend who is a super setup guru too. Maybe he will have some ideas. | |
| London Decca Finally finally I got the Jubilee all set up for some serious critiquing. Sadly I still don't have the CAT amps up and running as I need an electrician to install two 20A circuits for these. And also sadly, one of the SoundLab A1's has an issue so... | |
| A New Superstar Power Cord I can ride off into the sunset, and care less what's better in 10 years!Yeah sure, until the next Tara Labs cable comes along and then you can blast off to Mars.To bad though that Tara Labs is totally unaffordable. Even their cheapest models cost ... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage Realremo - Atmasphere's comment related to the speakers themselves being out of phase not the musical signal itself. Make sure the + and - from the power amp goes to the + and - to the speakers. If one is incorrect, then the images will be outside... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage In what kind of time do you life......keep on dreaming!!I guess this was directed at me for my recommendation of $1k products from 20+ years ago. And why did I recommend these products? Remember the budget is $900-1200 and these products stood out... | |
| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? I disagree on the Audio Horizons. I heard this against a 30 year old Counterpoint SA-5 last year and the Counterpoint tore the AH to pieces in portraying space and harmonic overtones. It's very very rare that I hear a tube line stage or preamp sou... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage It has to do with the properties of the stuff they own. Bo, you continue to enlighten us with such profound contributions.Realremo, a major game changer would be along the lines of Atmasphere's recommendations ..try to get into tubes. And for me t... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere The 6SN7 is an even better tube than the 12BH7 FWIW Yes, but sadly I can't use this any where in my system. 8-( | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage "Even a cheap system should image and play depth. More has to do with setup (not just placement of the speakers in the room) than anything else"When I read this nonsense you don't understand audio. Just sitting here shaking my head at what is prob... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz My CT1 ' moment ' was very akin to when I first fired up an ARC SP8 in my system , that was the moment that I consider that I entered into the realm of high end audio .This is amazing as I can say the exact same thing. My first experience to a goo... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere All - it is the RCA 12 BH7 red label which is the only 12BH7 tube I have experience with. I have routinely bought pairs of this tube for $40 or so which is a lot less than the insane prices for the great 6922 tubes that the RCA replaced in the Ari... |
