| Cleveland, OH You're 37 and you go by "oldgrey". Wow, I'm 55, I must be "dead-and-not-know-it". :) Welcome to the Cleveland Club.I love Don, but ultimate HT and 2 channel CAN coexist. Here's my system:http://www.audiocircle.com/systems/index.php?systemid=315I'm... | |
| Modwright Transporter VS Transporter w/DAC La45,The stock product is not a Modwright (modded) Transporter, but a Logitech Transporter. So when you ask about "the basic Modwright" it's a fully modded Transporter, about $1800 above the cost of the stock Logitech one (which goes for anywhere ... | |
| Modwright Transporter VS Transporter w/DAC I am a Modwright Transporter owner..in fact the first. Dan and I collaborated on the design (basically I turned Dan onto the stock one, since I was a huge Modwright customer and early beta field tester), and once he saw the huge real estate he had... | |
| Center Channel Speaker Likely "cohesion" as a typo | |
| Center Channel Speaker I would stay Dunlavy since it's your l and r. And yes, another SC4 is ideal!! There have to be some Dunlavy's around that could be turned on their side and create a timbre match good enough. The Vandy surrounds are a moot point, IMO cuz the center... | |
| Tel wire vs Lessloos Vett93, I have found the same. I like Tel Wire on analog equipment and Lessloss on digital, to over-simplify. Both are top notch, incredibly well-built products. I've become a huge believer in synergy, and now realize the umpteen variables involve... | |
| Tel wire vs Lessloos Wow, so far I have the exact opposite (exact!) impression than Tvad...but it's only 1 hour into the switch, which for one minute, of course, turned off power to the Transporter and it's tubes. The Tel Wire seems warmer and almost slightly boomy in... | |
| Tel wire vs Lessloos I'm running a LEssloss on my Modwright Trsnporter right now. David (rydenfan) sent me one of his demo Tel Wire's and it arrived today. Stay tuned.In the meantime, David did a nice comparo:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?rcabl&123085193... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? There can be discounts available off list, but any of that talk is strictly between you and the dealer. Audiogon (and most other forums I know) strictly forbid that discussion, as does the manufacturer. | |
| Power Receptacles - Review and Comparison I commented 9-24 (over on the Tesla cable thread) about installing my 3 Teslaplex outlets back in mid September (Eliott said they were the first batch, no boxes, etc... but he doubted any production issues would crop up). He was right, or shall I ... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Yes, I installed the some of the first batch of Teslaplexes Eliott had sent out back in September (see my 9-24-08 post on this thread). They are great. Very black background, very wide and deep soundstage. | |
| Tubed Pre match with a Spectron Musician IIISE? Enjoy The Music's pre-CES show report is saying it is $14,800:"Joule Electra is introducing a new preamplifier, the Marianne Electra Memorial Preamplifier LA-300ME ($14,800). The LA-300ME incorporates all the features that have made the LA series ... | |
| Tubed Pre match with a Spectron Musician IIISE? FYI. I sent Joule an email (standard address from their website) asking about availability and pricing, etc. Simon responded. :) He works for/with Joule. He said it's being debuted at CES, as he mentioned already here. Just an FYI.Ted | |
| Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it? You're right, sorry. Those monoblocks are not stock; they had Vcaps. My monos are stock, and most whom I've chatted with say going mono is a wayyyy bigger improvement than the stereo Vcap or Bybee upgrade....ymmv. For me, going from a stock Mk2 to... | |
| Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it? I think Don Shaulis addresses almost (no Bybees) that exact issue in his StereoTimes review. I could be mistaken but I think he surmised that stock monoblocks are a better sound than a heavily optioned stereo amp.A quote:The MK2 with V-Caps clearl... |
