| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? Frogman, couldn't we assume that the performer's(') spirit influences their performance? Furthermore, that the musicians' personal psyche and the surrounding collective energy (for want of a better word) permeate the spirit? If so, there will be n... | |
| Pass X-150 X Levinson 334 Famaraca, can you check out the synergy either of these amps w/ your Krell -- I do mean, try it out. This may be a decisive factor (I can't tell offhand -- maybe Lev has knows?). Either amp should drive the speakers superbly...Pass design & co... | |
| Pass X-150 X Levinson 334 Hi Famaraca. Pls give more info: Which speakers do you have and what kind of music do you listen to... partnering equip.Having listened to both with their respective partnering pre, but in DIFFERENT home systems, I lean towards the system with the... | |
| Speaker Grill Cloth, On or Off Megasam, like you, I et more ambience on my Gen Vs with the grill off. However, I have to dust -- VERY CAREFULLY -- ever so often. Take care with the dusting!! | |
| Cartridge for an old GRACE 707? Hi, Dickens, your post takes me down memory lane (i.e. I've SEEN two Graces -- but can't quite remember one from the other). The wooden one (707?) worked well with the V den Hull MC10, MC20s; the Ortofon 10 & 30; Grado & Denon (but, model ... | |
| Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts? In 2 above, I mean "...musician friends belonging to the "others" category..."Sorry. | |
| Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts? Meta, I think the word you want is "observe", as in S-Holmes' caveat to Watson: "you see but do not observe, my dear Watson" (about the number of steps leading from the entrance to the living room: Watson saw these many times a day...).Certain tho... | |
| Tight Bass Hear, hear, Detlof. To "well controlled" I would add, "...and sustained throughout the duration of the passage/piece of music...". All too often, amps either run out of juice, or otherwise fall short of giving us the full dimension of lower regist... | |
| Power for Audio Physics Virgo speakers Cbe, the Avantis go lower, and give more of a sense of volume/weight to instruments -- also closer, IMO, to natural sound when properly set up. So, better. Also more expensive. The new Avantis are easier to drive well than previous models, i.e., t... | |
| Modification of speaker cables When soldering, make sure U remove previous solder (or cut off) and your connection is shining (= not "cold" soldering). As Jeffloistarca, created the connection without the solder and secure it by soldering. Bare wire WILL oxydize but, as Onhwy61... | |
| Absolute Best power amp, tube ss Errr, "hear some of the others mentioned..." is what I meant, ofcourse. | |
| Absolute Best power amp, tube ss I'd add KR-8000 and Jadis (#??) monos to the Lamms, for tubes. Also vote for FM Acoustics ltd ed. and the big Pass, for ss.Would like to hear some of the other some mentioned; would love to be able to afford the likes of FM Acoustics, too... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Martin Logan Statements (powered by Cello) long time ago. Recently, A-Physics Medea (driven by S-Line Kraft monos). Aural memory failing me, I can't chose b/tween the 2, sorry. Quite a few speakers suggested above I'd like to hear though... | |
| Best component ever for the ... Emily, interesting. Where, in particular, do you use the DIY isloation squares? My contribution: take empty cigarillo (or flat cigarette) boxes, bore a hole, and thread cables through them. An effortless way of keeping power cords away from signal... | |
| Cat s new stereo amplifier I do mean "Don't hesitate to contact me if you think my impressions with that set-up are relevant to you".Sorry.. |
