Is Odyssey Power amp Stratos better than Krell?
Sorlowski, I am sorry to hear that you feel this way.While one of the bigger tube afficianados on the site, I think you can see where I stand as far as Odyssey goes. My friend who is not an audiophile gave it a serious listen, and found it fit int... 
Is Odyssey Power amp Stratos better than Krell?
Klaus, as someone who has met you, talked to you, looked you in the eye, shook your hand, and read your last post, I can say beyond the shadow of a doubt, you are a first class, decent human being.After listening to you, I must say that I am most ... 
First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons
Skrivis, I must applaud you on the link you provided!Also, along with the series crossover being "self correcting" in terms of driver variation, it exhibits the same characteristics for variances in the crossover components. For example, as we kno... 
Is Odyssey Power amp Stratos better than Krell?
By the way, let's not lose sight of the fact that the Odyssey room was by far one of the biggest audio revelations at HE2005. Superlative sound. Bravo, Klaus!You may remember me as being one who didn't quite "hear" your quote on the price of the p... 
Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp?
Again, for anyone who doesn't know, I am a part of the current Fried loudspeaker operation. I needed to get involved because of my feelings for Bud.Suits_me, I was also thirsting for the information you are seeking at one point. I could not read e... 
Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp?
Nice post, Tom! I think one can argue from a lot of different perspectives, it makes for interesting conversation and enhances everyone's experience here. However, when one tries to say that something that has been to be viable (and over an extend... 
Just ordered the Jungson 88D Luxury Edition.
Dracule1, it sounds as if your problem with the amp has worked itself out? I think I'm not alone when I say that we all hope so! Sure is a bummer when this stuff goes on the blink...Please keep us posted. 
Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp?
As Larry alluded to, Bud Fried did produce time aligned speakers. He sure was a proponent. Skrivis' C/3L speakers are time aligned, along with the simple first order crossover he stated. They also use true transmission line midbass loading - which... 
from 87db to 90 db ?
Yes, Albert, that is it!AR has a lot of information out there all over the place. They make a lot of claims about this or that, yet nothing about the loudness effect. It was funny that I never heard anything that they said it would do, but they ne... 
from 87db to 90 db ?
One thing you might want to try is a little device a friend here on Audiogon and I found a couple of years back while trying to find a sympathetic speaker for his very low power amplifier.Of course, it will not raise the sensitivity of your speake... 
What is the best tube integrated amp?
Audiokicks, I am also a Jadis Orchestra Reference owner. I should also say that I was the previous owner of Denis' (Springbok10) amplifier.When I got the amplifier together with the JJ EL34 tubes, I began burning it in on a Friday evening, and by ... 
Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp?
Hi, Tom.Please forgive me for not fully understanding your question. From what sense do you mean, "a true series crossover has to to pass all the information sent to it by the amplifier, unlike most every other crossover design?"To be honest, I re... 
Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp?
Nice post, Larry! Only one thing, I'm sure that Bud is turning over in his grave right now regarding your feeling that he went to Princeton. As you will well remember via this prodding, it was "Fair Haaaaaaaaavud". All I will add is that he was tr... 
Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp?
I'm really having a great time watching the discourse in this thread!Larry, I am happy to hear you were a friend of Bud's. I really do feel an emptyness in his absence. I am honored by all of which is being written about him here. What I personall... 
Samsung Hd841 or Toshiba 4960 modifications
I think your experiences were better than mine, Musicdoc. With my Samsung in CD mode, I would have been happy were it wooly and untamed. It was more nonexistent for me. SACD is much better, though still not up to the level I consider acceptable. M...
