| Paradigm: Monitor 7 v.3 Better Than 11se Mk. II I wouldn't hesitate to listen to the 7's before you buy. You must be serious if you are going to his house and listen. I would never buy speakers till I did just that. What if you buy them and not like them?In a small room you should have enough b... | |
| Paradigm: Monitor 7 v.3 Better Than 11se Mk. II I bought my 11se's in 94. Kept them till 99. Personally I think they sound better than the Monitor 7's. I have heard the 7's but I guess its a matter of taste. The 11se's are smoother IMO. Can you listen to the 7's before buying? If you dont have ... | |
| Give up on Thiel 3.6 or try another amp again ? I had the 331.5 in my system for a weekend and it is a VERY nice amp. I was amazed at how it drove the 3.6's. It is 80% a 334. Also at the time I had a ML 29 at 50wpc. We compared the 2 amps. The little ML held its own but the 331.5 was clearly be... | |
| Paradigm: Monitor 7 v.3 Better Than 11se Mk. II I doubt it...The 11se's must be a decent seller for them to keep selling this long.I used to own the 11se's. Give them good amplification and they should be satisfying :) I had a receiver and they needed more. Got better amps and they were a nice ... | |
| Give up on Thiel 3.6 or try another amp again ? Get a Mark Levinson 331 or 331.5. A friend of mine had the 3.6's and when he got the Levinson they started to sing. THe ML is a really good match for these speakers trust me.He graduated to the 7.0's but the ML still drove those well. | |
| Helix or Alpha The Anaconda is the best but the Python Helix almost gets you there. It is the best value in the Shunyata lineup. Still expensive IMO but a good one. You should be able to get one used for $700-$775? I would not hesitate to get one. The Shunyata p... | |
| Helix or Alpha I can say this about the Alpha series (not Helix) versus the Helix newer series. THe Helix series is more refined and very smooth but the soundstage is more middle row compared to the Alpha (non Helix). I didnt like it in my system and sold it. I ... | |
| Shunyata Hydra I dont think you got your question answered did you? I think the buss bars are of a different material and could result in some minor differences? I could be wrong! | |
| What's the worst high-end set-up you've had? I have had several because I did not address my cables and power. | |
| Reliable tube integrated for $1000 Jolida JD-1000??? | |
| What's better than the Jolida JD100 The tubes made a huge difference in mine. I tried RCA triple mica black plates and the GE black plates. The GE's were the better ones IMO. Really helped this player to the next level. I ended up wanting more detail so I sold it. Still a nice player. | |
| What's better than the Jolida JD100 Mr Tennis would you classify a ARC LS-7 preamp as euphonic? Just trying to understand your taste better? Have you owned any Audio Refinement CD players?I would as I had one on loan. I could not stand it because it was too tubey for me. I have a VK... | |
| What's better than the Jolida JD100 There are no op amps in the Jolida. That said, at a minimum, one has to change the stock Chinese tubes and upgrade the power cord to begin to get decent sound from that CDP.MerganserVery true!!! | |
| Isolation Devices for Digital What about Sound Quest Isol-Pads. They seem to get good reviews also. | |
| Mark Levinson 300 series Email Madrigal? |
