| Informal T.H.E. Show Report - Day I Kudos on a fine job Ken, as well as everyone else!Nice to see that things are off to a good start. This seems to be an excellent show, from the list of exhibitors. You guys are so lucky to be in Vegas with such accomodating "room guides". Have fun... | |
| Why Would You...? Nice to see you around Avguygeorge! | |
| wnat to downgrade my cables Downgrading cable is a courageous move, Stuartbranson! One which I happen to applaud. I know(yes know, not think) that you will end up with as much performance as you can get from the expensive stuff via carefully selecting what you move to.My own... | |
| I auditioned SACD today Rec, I agree that vinyl done right is superior to SACD.That being said, SACD offers the convenience of silver disc, with improved sonics over CD. You are also right that SACD is not the night and day improvement over CD, that you and I were perhap... | |
| What to upgrade next? I think Onhwy61 makes a great point.You seem happy with the sound. And, if you are interested in upgrading, I would ask what area(s) does it lie? From there, we can offer suggestions in terms of pushing your system in the desired direction. It see... | |
| Best sounding SACD's to show-off system Mingus - Mingus Ah UmI find this disc really shows off why SACD is superior CD | |
| Music Hall Maverick? - Has Anyone Heard... Neoprufrok, I have heard this complaint with early Mavericks, but supposedly this issue was worked out after the initial hiccup. | |
| Music Hall Maverick? - Has Anyone Heard... Hey Joe, any interest in A/Bing the Maverick against the Music Hall MMF25?I have heard some say they actually prefer the Redbook performance of the MMF25 to the Maverick, but my drinking by the label(always dangerous in audio and life in general) ... | |
| New Triangle Stratos range, any comments? Jorge, thanks for your comments!I am a fan of the older Triangle line, and am looking forward to hearing the new models. My main complaints with the old line were the high frequency harshness, and the tendency of the speakers to produce very hashy... | |
| Grills OFF or Grills ON ??? I generally concur, grills off.One pair of my loudspeakers, the Coincidents, don't even come with grills. The other, the Frieds(old generation), have grills, but they're stashed away.Interestingly enough, in auditioning the new Frieds, I initially... | |
| Krell SACD-new review in Hi-fi+ Hey, Ben, your old pal Joe here. I intend on auditioning this player this week. Will post my impressions afterwards, for those looking forward to it(or not). | |
| Battery powered glory or hype My battery powered experience is with the Sutherland phono stage. It was in the home of a friend, where Harry Weisfeld of VPI brought it over. My friend purchased a Scout, and Harry brought over the rig he was going to HE2003 with - his flagship T... | |
| Atma Sphere I also run the AtmaSphere M60 monoblocks. I have always run them with a full complement of tubes.As far as heat goes, I am not sure if any amps exceed their capabilities to heat a room. Yes, they run hot, hot, hot. As Rush pointed out, they are pu... | |
| any thoughts on cambridge azur cd 540/640? I have heard the 640 last week, in the home of my friend who carries them, and sells for prices more like the Spearit Sound pricetag. The player lists for $529.He also carries Music Hall and Shanling, and the new Cambridge 640 is supplanting the $... | |
| What did YOU get for Christmas? Nothing that will sound too interesting here...I biased my Jadis Orchestra Reference, mastering with ease probably the hardest of all tube amps today to bias. It's kind of funny how those dealers want to put the fear of God into you when it comes ... |
