| Montana speakers? I just offered my impressions concerning the Esotar versus the Revelator in two different designs over extended listening. I don't know what two speaker designs you are drawing your conclusions from. The execution of a particular design is every b... | |
| Montana speakers? I am quite familiar with the Montana ES or is it EP Signature (4,500.00 Retail). A friend of mine owns a pair. Carl your remarks concerning the Esotar and Revelator are interesting to me because my speaker, Merlins VSM-SE has the Esotar, and his h... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! I think an important point may be lost on some when looking at Albert and Gerry's systems. First of all you don't just go out and BUY a system like theirs. It is quite obvious to me that these systems evolved over years of careful listening and up... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! arl you don't need to explain anything to anybody about your system or make any apologies for anything. This isn't about my system is bigger, badder or better than yours, it certainly shouldnt be. My system seems somewhat pedestrian compared to s... | |
| New Dedicated Audio Room Be careful about getting too absorbative. I don't think you want a room that is too absorbative. You might end up with an anecholic chamber sound that will improve one thing (imaging) at the expense of the music coming alive. It is however a matte... | |
| New Dedicated Audio Room Ideally if you can keep any of the parallel walls from being absolutely parallel, that is a plus. Minimizes standing waves. A cathedral ceiling is a plus also. Sounds like a nice room to start with. I would also talk with a room acoustic expert fo... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! The following is my current system. Whether or not it is the most enjoyable is another question I suppose for another thread but it is the best based on the components. It is subject to a lot of upcoming changes brought on by my new high strung ... | |
| Entry into tubes I can't speak for others and all choices available. It appears that you may require a little more power with Maggies than what you might find in an all tube integrated especially at your 1500.00 price point. It that is indeed the case your choices... | |
| MSB III vs. Soundstream DAC-1 by Krell BTY the Perpetual Tech is run by the same crowd that were involved in the Audio Alchemy products, Mark Schiffer and I believe designed by Peter Madnick. | |
| MSB III vs. Soundstream DAC-1 by Krell Check out the Perpetual Technology P-3A DAC. I have also been looking and currently am using a P.S. audio Ultralink which is a little long in the tooth. What I like MOST about the P-3A DAC is that it supposedly sounds better than the MSB Link 3 fo... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Albert I AM impressed! I would also be interested in hearing about your room,(must be dedicated, huh). If I had the room I feel certain I would go the SoundLab route. The absolute best music mimicing transducers I have ever heard and that was the ... | |
| Will the HDCD format survive Lgregory If you recall Sony also tried to push the BETA video format and lost even though it was better. The market will dictate where it goes as it ALWAYS does. Sony can push all they want but ultimately I think DVD will be the ultimate winner an... | |
| Avantgarde Speakers Well they finally got a dealer in my neck of the woods. I have got to hear what all the hoopla is about. Kind of afraid to really. | |
| Tubes & Audio Research Corp. The integrity of a dealer is at stake here by not specifically indicating who it isn't leaves all to assume who it is. There was only one mention of a specific dealer and by reference in later posts ALL were to assume that it was the same dealer. ... | |
| Tubes & Audio Research Corp. Danvetc There is no reason to get scared. BUT if you can honestly listen to solid state over tube gear without it making a difference to you I say GO SOLID STATE. "How they gone ta keep them down on the farm after they've seen Pariee?" |
