| "more forgiving speakers" Everyone above as made very good points and I sure can relate. Onhwy61 your point is especially well made and reflects my sentiments to a T. I used to be in the forgiving camp when I first got into hi-end. Over the years either my hearing got wors... | |
| OTL amps After listening to a pair of Transcendent mono's a month or so back, I knew I had to go OTL. I just received mine a few days ago and to say that this amp "transcends" any type of electronic signature is about the most apt description I can give. J... | |
| Trelja in New York Djjd – Let me explain my defense of Trejla. Hi-end audio is a very specialized field with a relatively small group of individuals and a very small group of manufacturers. Most of us live in markets where these products aren’t readily available for... | |
| Trelja in New York Macm and Djjd, I didn't really feel that Trejla was "reviewing" anything but rather offering his opinion on how things sounded at the show. The remarks concerning Talon speakers in particular seems to reflect what has been typically stated about t... | |
| Trelja in New York Nice report Joe. Now if you're ever down Florida way, I'm a stone throw away from Plastic World, stop by for a Merlin demo. Show conditions are horrendous in most instances. I remember the worst I ever heard Vandersteen sound was at a show. So wha... | |
| SS versus Tubes Amen Rushton. To all the ss guys that say nay to the valve and all the valve freaks who say transistors don't pass I say there is hope maybe compomise at lastand the answer it lay in OTL amps.....their fast!!!Oh well, nothing's perfect. | |
| Opinions of MIT MH 750 speaker cable Sorry I don't know how this thread got off topic. Just noticed that Twilo never even asked about AP cables. | |
| Opinions of MIT MH 750 speaker cable Twilo - I own both the Oval 9's and the 770 Series 2 tube Reference which I bought after hearing the 750's. I really feel the Analysis Plus are very good cables. They offer clarity and transparency without any rolloff. There is NO LOSS in the tran... | |
| Best Find Ever??? I have a buddy that picked up a stock Marantz 7 pre-amp in excellent condition cosmetically at a flea market for 50.00 about 12 years ago. That is about the best audio deal that I have ever heard of. I know another guy that picked up an old D-100,... | |
| Party At Albertporter s Albert We have all been waiting for this inevitable event to take place and Kitch, a thanks to you for bringing it all together. I'll bring the Samba for the go-go girls to dance to. Oh btw, Albert do you think Mrs. Porter is going to mind too much? | |
| Favorite Audio Ad Several years back there was an ad I found visually very stunning (great photography) but conceptually, I just did't get the point. It was the Red Rose or was it Cello? ad with Mark Levinson, a naked woman and an apple as props. Now what the hell ... | |
| What to do with your tax return? Kitch that remark about co-signer's being schmucks with fountain pens hit like a mortar at very close range but how would you know? You brought back a VERY bad memory. Oh how the truth can hurt. Yeah I remember the X-mas club, belonged to one as a... | |
| Transcendent Grounded Grid Opinions Mnsaluki I recently heard the Transcendent OTL monos driving a marginal (at best) hi-end system. The sonic characteristic of the amps "transcended" the rest of the system. BTW, it was the FIRST time I have heard an OTL amp. The reason I auditioned... | |
| Best value speakers available This thread has been done before and it is an important one for those just tuning in. I am another in the Vandersteen camp at the MSRP. Full range I don't think it gets any better. I would vote the 2 series in the top 5 values in audio ever. And D... | |
| Most emotionally involving cables? The reason the MIT's are so "emotionally involving" may have something to do with their cost. When you spend that much on cables, sound be damned, there is a certain degree of emotional connection. Things that make you and others (if they knew) qu... |
