| The "how many reviews it got" rule The best sound I and all the critics in the past several years heard, were the Ultra 11 Von Schweikerts. I’m considering the VR55K at $50K-$60K for a smaller room than the showroom hall. How about the great sounding, efficient Lumenwhites, virtual... | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range I like the Sanders and the Tekton speakers sonically; however, they are directional and not appealing for an off axis, wide listening experience. I had to get rid of my Martin Logan Monolith IIIs because my wife used to listen with me and that wa... | |
| Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene Okay, but I stand by whatever Tim Mrock uses in his Omega E-Mats, SR duplexes and SR fuses they all claim have graphene in them. | |
| The "how many reviews it got" rule Art Dudley used to extol the virtues of EAR gear. Then he reviews their latest Classic CD player and said it sounds terrible (for the price) distorted while Atkinson supports that view with measurements. Sure, it was defective, putting out 6 volts... | |
| Phono cable advice. GroverHuffman.com made silver very low capacitance phono cables 20 years ago for $75. Mr Record, Robert Pincus (IMPEX, swears by them). No, they are not the end all SOTA cables but they have a mid-range sound that is excellent, good bass and tre... | |
| Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene Several comments on Graphene. Total Contact uses graphene; however, it has a proprietary other product in it that allows it to be a super conductor per the manufacturer as well as a process which melds the two to work concurrently.In the SR Fuses... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? My Legacy Signature IIIs are 4 ohm and 94db efficiency but only dip a little lower. They are very easy to drive. I bought them when I brought along a Sherwood 7100 18 watt receiver. Fantastic bass and dynamic as well. I've driven them with Yam... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? While I currently have a dedicated listening room 25X20X12.5 built 25 years ago, I built it wrong with a vaulted ceiling, windows, staggered 6" studs on an 8" plate and dual 5/8" X drywall. Yes, my wife can sleep through 100db sound at night but t... | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... At one point about 18 years ago, Grover chose silver which was a mistake except with his equipment at the time. About 13 years ago, I purchased EAR gear and he decided copper was the thing and designed very good cables since then (the EAR gear re... | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... auxinput- I’ve been through at least 100+ cables designs in the past 20+ years. Grover experimented with all copper, all silver and various mixes until about 5 years ago when he settled on using both. However, the + and - in ICs and ground with A/... | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... He does zero marketing and builds every cable by hand. GroverHuffman.com SOTA cabling for mid-fi prices. The materials cost is reasonable, it's all in the design and two hours labor per cable. He has sold worldwide and includes some highly re... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? My SME IV has cartridge pins connected to Cardas wiring which is connected to a Cardas RCA junction box, eliminating at least the DIN connector and providing for a more flexible choice of phono cables. DIN connectors are tough to solder. I've up... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Yes, the total retail cost of the E-Mats and Cabling was under $10K. Much cheaper than buying new speakers. | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? Never say never. I've had my Legacy Focus speakers for 20 years now, always improving with new cables and tweaks. I went through Acoustat Xs, 2&2s and Martin Logan Monolith 3s in the prior 15 years. I do not want to revisit electrostats. My... | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... I've sold about a dozen classic tube gear items on Audiogon at my asking prices. Classic tube gear keeps escalating in price like my sales of a McIntosh MX110, Fisher 200, MacIntosh MC30s, Fisher 400/500 receivers, etc. They are now in greater d... |
