| Amp: Integrated - Used; - Sub $750 Help :- There is a great little integrated on agon. Uses EL-34's. This little amp can really make magic and is much more powerful than it has any right to be. I used to sell a lot of them until they were discontinued. Here is the one on agon. http://www.a... | |
| BAT VK3i or Manley Shrimp? SojournerI believe there is an Ultrverve on agon for $1200. I am a dealer for deHavilland and this is the preamp we had at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. You can visit our website for info on that. In any event I will shortly be accused of selling... | |
| What is your favorite material for loudspeakers? QuidoWow. That is so much more than mdf. The Finnish stuff I understand is the best. I would love to hear what some of the more expensive speakers would sound like if they were made from this stuff. That would be a project wouldn't it. Take a vand... | |
| Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT DhaanBy all means enlighten me. Tell me exactly why carbon fiber cabinets are not technologically advanced compared to most other options. I believe Marten Coltrane speakers at 60K are made of carbon fiber. Perhaps their engineers are fools like me. | |
| Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT DhaanYou are mixing two separate but very important issues.Number one a cabinet should be very stiff to avoid resonance. Resonance as when a violin resonates when the strings are plucked. Most speaker manufactures boast about their thick 3/4" mdf ... | |
| What is your favorite material for loudspeakers? JohnK Are you a speaker manufacture or just a "crazy" audiophile like the rest of us? That sounds like fun but a lot of work as well. Just curious how much the Birch ply costs per sheet and how hard is it to work with, doing the corners and miters... | |
| Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT Gundam91I didn't get to hear them at the RMAF. Kind of busy in our room. You can see our room on our website. DhannJust as a side note. Carbon fiber is used to build the Stealth bomber. When the radar waves hit the carbon fiber they are almost ins... | |
| Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT I had the opportunity to hear the Verity Sarastro's. I am a Wilson benesch dealer and am always on the lookout for really good sounding speakers and not simply big brands. I thought the Verity's were nice sounding, a little laid back, with good so... | |
| Preamp recommendations up to $2000 XrayzI see there is a deHavilland Mercury on agon for $1900. Don't let that slip by. | |
| What is your favorite material for loudspeakers? JohnI have had some speakers in house made from birch plywood. What a relief over MDF. Much better tonal quality. I think the big difference is that MDF has so much glue in it. Much more mass and that acts like a solar heat sink holding in the res... | |
| Dynavector cartridge upgrade decision MadfloydI think you would love the Te Kaitora Rue. I am dealer. Can't offer a comparison but can tell you that the whole line of Dynavector cartridges are smooth fast transparent.... I wouldn't get to carried away. Save a few bucks for interconnects. | |
| turntable newbie: need advice for better sound I haven't worked with Shure cartridges in over 30 years. That it probably a high output cartridge. I don't sell Mckintosh either so not sure about the phono stage but I would check to make sure you have a Moving Magnet cartridge and a phono input ... | |
| Speakers sound best facing wall???? Tubes help. So does single ended..... | |
| What is your favorite material for loudspeakers? RodmanTung Oil is good stuff. Hand rubbed to put a little love into those speakers. The music gods are smiling on you. You are correct. The best cabinet would be no cabinet. That is clearly why planar speakers over the years have had an edge over ... | |
| What is your favorite material for loudspeakers? Not to belabor the point, but I was looking at an photo from the CES show a couple of years ago and found a photo of Vanderstein 5's. This was a special pair that Richard built using carbon fiber. Apparently the sounded great but I am sure product... |
