| IcePower1200AS: Who has heard or has them, with what system components? Do you love them? Eric_SWhen I had my maggie 3.5Rs I tried a Parasound A23 on the ribbons, then on the bass panels. I found it dark, a tad syrupy, and a room heater | |
| IcePower1200AS: Who has heard or has them, with what system components? Do you love them? Thanks RicFerrite coils and a non upgradeable opamp may be poor mfg choices, but what Ric has done to the EVS 1200 has minimized their affect to a point where I would need to hear what Ric comes up with next (side by side) to determine for myself ... | |
| A warm DAC? If your PL has pre input, consider the Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5. The DDP-1 has 4 different settings for the DAC. Excellent sound and value. See March 2016 The Absolute Sound review. | |
| Need Footers for Amps on Isolation Platforms? I had both Stillpoints and HRS platforms, still have the HRSs. The best and least expensive by FAR is Machina Dynamica Springs. His site is probably still a mess but you can email him with your needs | |
| 2 channel amp suggestion Im surprised you got any answers since you neglected to put a dollar limit in your post.That said if it goes to $1600, there's a EVS 1200 (which I have, and LOVE) on Audio Asylum classifieds. RUN. It will be the backbone of your system from now on | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Bette Midler CAN/could sing. A mindblower is AM I Blue from The Divine Miss M is mesmerizing when played on a HQ system | |
| Transport to replace my cd player I would look first to the cables and PC connecting it to your preamp | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? Years after the factory had shuttered, I was swapping out a PC to my beloved Kinergetics KBA 75. Either I plugged the new PC into the wall first, or neglected to shut the amp off... sparks flew amp blown, too costly to repair | |
| Spade vs. banana plug In my mind I always thought banana was a more direct electron flow into the XO, but 2 reliable sources say spades are better | |
| Single driver vs traditional 3 way loudspeakers I have a pair of Emerald Physics 3.4s; open baffle, 12" carbon fiber woofer with concentric polyester tweeters. so it requires a XO but DAM | |
| purchasing US made speakers If you're lucky enough to find them Emerald Physics (open baffle) either 3.4s (which I have) or 2.8s, which I hope to have soon. The 3.4s are crazy good and super efficient, but in my 20 x 40 x 12ft room some music needs more bass, which the 2.8s ... | |
| Need helpful recommendations for next two purchases Elac has a preamp/dac/streamer which has been highly rated by Enjoy The Music (I think) | |
| Solid states more accurate than tubes? Ralph, did you ever listen to Emerald Physics carbon fiber series with your amps? I imagine it would be glorious | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present Assuming you're still in this hunt, you can get Emerald Physics in colors. I just got a pair of 3.4s in Audi Blue and soon a pair of 2.8s in Bentley Green | |
