| CLEAN RECORDS WITH WHAT????? Many years and thousands of records ago I found Torumat cleaning fluid really worked with my 16.5. The really dirty records may need a second cleaning. The Torumat cleans the record well and somehow nearly eliminates static electricity. While it's... | |
| Plasma vs. CRT based HDTV The CRT sets have better contrast giving them blacker blacks and whiter whites. This difference until now has been large, but the plasmas are closing the gap. The higher end plasmas now have excellent contrast, but still not quite as good as a hig... | |
| Classical R2die4 ? Here are my five classical desert island choices:1. Beethoven Symphony#6, Walter/Columbia Symphony 2. Schubert "Trout" Quintet, Curzon Piano, London/Decca3. Rimsky Korsakov Scheherzade(sp?) Reiner/CSO RCA4. Beethoven Piano Concerto #5 Leitner/Kemp... | |
| CAT Pre seeking Opinion Without knowing what speakers you have it's difficult to say. I have Wilson 5.1's, a CAT Ultimate and a Levinson 335. This combo is wonderful. But, my speakers are a difficult load and are more Row "A" in tonal balance. The Levinson is a bit laid ... | |
| OTL amps with Wilson Watt/Puppy 6s Rlennan,I have 5.1's and wondered why my ARC VT-100mk2 didn't get the job done. I then tried a 335 and my jaw hit the floor. Instruments were much more full bodied and the tonal balance smoothed out making marginal recording much easier to listen ... | |
| ML No 383 to ML Nos 380S & 335 While I'm not familiar with your current gear I do own the 335. I spent years trying to tone down my Wilson 5.1's tendency to shall we say be ruthlessly revealing. I was always happy with the audiophile stuff like dynamics, imaging,etc., but the s... | |
| BEST REAR PROJECTION HDTV?? Bazmataz,In store head to head comparing is worthless. These sets have so many things to adjust, and hence so many things to be wrong, that you just can't rely on in store. Different dvd players interreact differently with different sets so each s... | |
| BEST REAR PROJECTION HDTV?? I agree with Argent, his comments are identical to mine. I have an Elite 510 but agree that digital cable is better on my 36XBR400. A 520 for $4000 is an incredible deal. Jump on it. The Elites are the best rptv's period. Bazmataz, you may be able... | |
| What tube amp for watt/puppy V.1's I have the 5.1's, a Cat Ultimate and Transparent Ref cables. I had a VT 100mk2 and tried a ML 335 just for grins. The 335 trounced the ARC Amp. Your on the right track with a high powered amp as the Wilson's, regardless of what you might hear, lik... | |
| Levinson Amps: What do they really sound like? There is much good advice here. The synergy with the speakers cannot be understated. In my case the VT 100mk2 I had simply wasn't up to my Wilson 5.1's. The 335 was clearly a better match, but it took about three days for all the votes to come in.... | |
| tube amp recommendations for Watt/Puppys I have Wilson 5.1's and used a VT 100mk2. I then tried a ML 335. Only then did I realize the ARC amp, as good as it is, cannot drive the Wilson's to their full potential. Other than the last bit of bloom and hall ambience the ML 335 was vastly, an... | |
| CAT Ultimate I also use a Ruby H and it works fine with the CAT Ultimate. But, remember this is only part of the story. The input impedence of your power amp and how that mates with the CAT can affect the issue. With my 335 I have no problem but a different po... | |
| LP12 cartridge choice This is an easy one, get the lingo. Many years ago my dealer set up an LP 12, Ekos,Troika and another LP 12 with the Lingo,Ittok,K9. The LP 12 with the Lingo sounded better. To this day I'm still shocked. If you have the bucks get the Lingo and a ... | |
| Speaker Cable 8" between Wilson / ML336? I also use Transparent Ref. between my ML 335 and Wilson 5.1's. The Trans. Ref. interconnect as well. They work so well the urge to try something "better" has never struck me. Long term satisfaction is rare in high end audio! On the other hand may... | |
| Levinson When you get into an amp at this level personal bias and the it way interreacts with your system makes others views unreliable. The general view I've seem indicates the Krell is a little more detailed and the Levinson a bit more laid back. Anyone ... |
