| Transport identification I haven't heard of the Oops brand, but Jond is close; it is from Phillips (CDM 12 Pro). I found the original Audiogon Ad when Pacific Valve advertised it a few years ago. Right now I have at a great tech who will try to adjust the tracking. He was... | |
| Remoding Speakers Has An Effect On Resale Value Sarcasm is not beneficial to this discussion and has no added value...Let'S not get into ''mine is gigger than yours''When I suggested that Lexidan not mention the mods in his hypothetical ad (future) I didn't mean to ''hide'' the fact of the mod ... | |
| Remoding Speakers Has An Effect On Resale Value Hi to all,Reading Lexidan's post and the replies was interesting and as usual there are some dividing opinions which is OK since these discussions are democratic. But many people have preconceived opinions and/or are not well informed. Lexidan has... | |
| New Bel Canto Gear at RMAF Hi DOB,Yes I agree thtt I can't have a personal (emphasis on personal) opinion until I've had a listen for myself. But they don't sell them around my neck of the woods (Montreal) and the only way to hear one is to buy one. But a topic of discussio... | |
| New Bel Canto Gear at RMAF First of all, many thanks for all of your insights. Especially to Dob who favorably compares the Spectron in monoblock configuration as besting some of the best linear amps out there. And being a musician to boot! Now having some friends who are m... | |
| New Bel Canto Gear at RMAF Yes although I found the BC's interesting, something's missing, They didn't best my KRELL FPB 300c in sound, but most surprisingly not even in power. I was sure the 200w/ch advantage wcould've been heard, but not really. So the KRELL at 300w/ch is... | |
| New Bel Canto Gear at RMAF You're probably right Guidocorona, especially if you got it from the horse's mouth about no REF 2000's. I got this from the distributor in Ottawa (Canada), could be wishfull thinking at work here. Thanks. | |
| New Bel Canto Gear at RMAF All the responses after my post are interesting indeed. And yes iSanchez, I'm seriously looking at the Spectron in mono mode. But living in Canada (Montreal) there's no representation here and I really would like to audition in home before making ... | |
| New Bel Canto Gear at RMAF Hi to all,I've recently purchased a pair of Andras by Eggleston Works. These babies can really rock but are innefficient at 87Db and combined with 2 12'' woofers + 2 6'' midranges are demanding for an amplifier. I have a Krell FPB 300c with it's r... | |
| Comparison Cary 306, Wadia 581, EMM Labs CDSA Hi Bauerp,If you don't like the Krell sound then stay away from it. Their philosophy has been the same from day one. It's a matter of taste and I will not argue with anyone when it comes to personal taste. After all it's important in any audio pur... | |
| Revel F30 vs Celestion A3:please help to decide Hi,My response is probably a bit late, but here goes. True, Celestion did come out with some so-so designes in the mid 90's not representative of what we expected from a reputable manufacturer. And now they're back to the same 10 years later after... | |
| Krell Kav 300il or Arcam FMJ A32 This really depends on your tastes and the type of music you listen. If you can borrow either one and then go to a resaler that has the other model, try to compare them to each other by swapping the units in the system. Bring some of your favorite... | |
| New kid on the block.... I've had the Linar 250 for just about 2 years now. With an upgrade which involved changing the 650KVA transformers to 850KVA Plitrons and upgrading capacitance from 80,000uf to 136,000uf and opening the bandwith from 80Khz to 250Khz. Best bang for... |
