| B&W Signature 800 Vs. the new 800D Diamond Twin Turbo in a hot tub? Wow, that's a lot of bubbles. | |
| B&W Signature 800 Vs. the new 800D Diamond Washline: You heard the two speakers in different rooms. And it sounds like they were driven by different sources/electronics. Is this a reasonable way to conclude one way or the other for a preference? | |
| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier Sirspeedy: I can clearly understand why you question the comparison of the Kharma and the VS as they appear to have completely different strengths and applications. But I think people are drawn to the unique strengths of such products. And they cl... | |
| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier I must chime in here as I was the one to corner Hooper for further details as to why he made the changes that he did. Hooper's reply was exactly what I requested: an honest response to his experiences in HIS system with what HE prefered. There wer... | |
| CAT amps........Opinions please Hello,I own a pair of JL-3 signatures and owned ARC amps for a number of years before. My favorite ARC amp was the VT130. It had a lush midrange warmth and an exceptional 3-dimensional quality. But it was a bit weak in the lowest frequencies. I di... | |
| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier Hooper: Wow, now that was what I was looking for! The details on your system changes, and their sonic results, put everything so well into perspective. Thank you much.Oh yes, I love the JL-3s. I have read the highest praise on the CAT amps for man... | |
| Review: Ensemble Dirondo Transport & Hi-dac Transport Wow indeed. This is one of the great reviews here in a long time. Well done.John | |
| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier Oh no, the man wants two Dove bars. And you should have asked about the ice cream sooner as I was just at the Ben & Jerry's factory last week. All I can do now is promise you the goods if and when you ever make a visit to Minneapolis.What I re... | |
| Buy an Audio Research SP10 MkII or an SP11 MkII ? Growlar: I like your idea of the evolution process. You will indeed enjoy the heck out of the SP-10. And then some day if you have the itch, persue that next level of refinements. But I guarantee you that so many newer products that you will audit... | |
| Buy an Audio Research SP10 MkII or an SP11 MkII ? Rcprince: Yes, with the LS5 being truly balanced XLR ins/outs only, this does have the potential to change things for someone whose system is all RCA connections. At the beginning, I used adaptors for my single-ended CD player and tuner. The '-' p... | |
| Buy an Audio Research SP10 MkII or an SP11 MkII ? Holy cow, I never could have had success with a 0.2mv cartridge with my SP-10. Mine was an unmodified MK II, and like I mentioned above, used RAM tubes. Perhaps the Sovteks or other available tubes of today are quieter which allows for higher gain... | |
| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier JTinn, I think Sean brings up a good point that there should be some sort of identifier for Audiogon members who are dealers. Of course we all have our own musical and listening biases, but when a member also has a business bias, it throws a wrenc... | |
| ARC ph1 compared to ph3 Hello,I owned the PH2, which was the balanced version of the PH1, for 8 years. At about year 5, I borrowed a PH3 from my boss who was also a big ARC fan at the time. The PH3 was at first so nice as it brought the presentation more upfront in the r... | |
| Buy an Audio Research SP10 MkII or an SP11 MkII ? Another vote for the SP-10 if you are dead set on this or the SP-11. I owned the SP-10 for 8 years and loved it, even with its rolled-off frequency extremes, rather high noise floor, and yes, constant replacement of the phono-stage tubes. But oh m... | |
