Shindo Cortese - First Impressions
Hello Alberto,Thanks for answering my question. I apologize for my participation in the hijacking of your tread with my question. I thought it was harmless and relevant, it seems you did as well judging by your polite response, thank you. Mark, I ... 
Shindo Cortese - First Impressions
Alberto,Your response was nicely written and had a very friendly tone, I appreciate that. You are a very likable guy.; 0 The next part of my response is mainly rhetorical to Kharl. Alberto, please do not feel the need to answer any of the question... 
Shindo Cortese - First Impressions
Alberto,I am not trying to submit that you are not happy with the sound of the Cortese, because clearly you are happy and that is ALL that really matters. To quote you: "On the 1-10 Alberto's Audio Deliciousness Scale, this amp is not a 10, not ev... 
Martin Logan Prodigy with Sonic Frontiers Power
Hello,I once owned Martin Logan Odysseys and Sonic Frontiers Powers 3's. It was not good combination, IMO. The Sonic Frontiers Power 3's will not provide the bass tightness and control you are seeking on the ML Prodigy.If you remain committed to t... 
Ortofon A90 or Air Tight PC-1
HelloI have heard the A90, Air Tight PC-1, and Air Tight PC-1 Supreme, on an SME V in the same system.I personally liked the Air Tight Supreme and the Air Tight PC-1 more than the A-90, on the SME V. I thought the A-90 sounded way to bright/lean/m...

Classic Audio T1 and T3 field coil loudspeakers
Hello Lewm,I have heard both speakers on several occasions, the T.1's with field coil drivers are very special IMO, and worth seeking out an audition to form your own opinion.During me decision to purchase T1’s which took well over a year, I audit... 
Allnic Verito Z:Owners and those familiar
Tom,You seem to take my SONIC impressions of the Allnic personally. I answered your question posted. I was commenting on its absolute performance relative to others. Something, to be honest, I think this cart needed because IMO its resolving capa... 
Allnic Verito Z:Owners and those familiar
IMO this cart is not an overachiever. It is certainly was not a top tier cart in my system on my SME V arm, perhaps that was the issue. The Allnic Z did not compare favorably to these carts that have been in my house the last 4 months: Koetsu Cora...
