| Power regenerator vs conditioner JRW - I agree with chorus that your response was excellent and very useful. Thank you - sincerely - for sharing your experiences.The one important question I have for you (so I don't repeat the mistakes others such as you have made and learned fro... | |
| Hi End Pre-Amp shoot out in central jersey? Hi,That's some love you've put into your system! Well done.I too live in Central Jersey and have a Lamm L1 that I'd be happy to add to the shootout. But I don't know if that's high-end enough for you. Separately as far as Mechans goes, I only have... | |
| Tube Rolling.......my first experience.....WOW I'm glad that this is working out for you but ones does wonder ...Why don't the Rogue guys start off with the "better" tubes in their gear to begin with? I mean if they know for sure that the RCA is going to be better than the Electro-Harmonix, et... | |
| Seeking a "high end" integrated amplifier True. I did not manage to stay under that target! :) I listened to the Pass (which was very good) but not the Jeff Rowland. I also listened to Rega (just ok) but I was not able to listen to the Luxman or the Gryphon. But this Vitus - my vocabulary... | |
| Seeking a "high end" integrated amplifier My search is over. I bought an amp that was not recommended on this thread but was in a different thread. (Thanks Frankpiet). I bought a Vitus SS-010 "integrated" (it can also be used as a power amp) and I remain absolutely stunned by it. I have b... | |
| Seeking a "high end" integrated amplifier All,Thank you so much for this variety of suggestions. Nothing is ever easy, is it? But that is part of the fun here.BTW, that was SOME review Kiwi! Well done.The Pass and Luxman recos have me most interested. I'm "nervous" about Class D (despite ... | |
| Cd Player Suggestions Two thoughts - one on the CD and one on the amp. Obviously my recommendations are HIGHLY influenced by what I have, but in this case that may not be all bad. I too had an Arcam (and still have an Arcam MCD 6 disk changer).Amp first - because I agr... | |
| Where to put interconnects ???/ I have no idea but have the following step-by-step approach to the answer.Step 1 (easy): Insert the Cardas between the amp and the pre-amp.Step 2 (easy): Insert the Analysis Plus between the CD and the pre-amp.Step 3 (important): Listen to some mu... | |
| Are interconnect cables worth $15,000? No. Not in my universe. | |
| Enlightened Audio Ultradisc 2000 cd player? I haven't heard either of the players that Oz mentions but I am listening to it right now and I have to tell you it is an extremely terrific CD player. I also have the Electrocompaniet EMC1 and while I'll admit that the EMC1 is more "liquid" and "... | |
| Verity Parsifals to Von schweikert VR4 Gen III ?? Tvad/Grant,Your point is reasonably well taken. It isn't as bad though as never having eaten steak and declaring shrimp the winner because I HAVE heard Von Schweikert speakers and you will have to admit as John above states that THERE IS A HOUSE S... | |
| Verity Parsifals to Von schweikert VR4 Gen III ?? Wow. That would be a surprising change. To be fair, I haven't heard the VR4 Gen III's (though all those numbers make me suspicious already). I have heard Von Schweikert speakers (don't remember which model or Gen or whatever), but having owned the... | |
| Attention Sonus Faber Amati Owners I have very carefully cleaned around the surrounds, but only with a dry soft cloth (I've on occasion used the red cloth that was supplied) and never with the liquid. I don't even have the liquid anymore. I would definitely feel unsure using a liqu... | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? I own the Goldmund integrated and I must say that it is really really good. I also own separates (EAD PM2000, Lamm L1) and I have "fooled around" using the Goldmund on my main system (Amati's) and I was quite impressed.You can't find the Goldmund ... | |
| Sonus Faber Amati in Home Theater You're welcome. I'm not sure that I am the best "expert" in this regard, as I have only heard them in my system!I have had the EAD PowerMaster 2000 amplifier driving them and the combination is superb. In terms of pre-amps I use either the EAD The... |
