| Anyone try APC's conditioner? I wonder why that is? And what APC will do to their audio series to eliminate that? | |
| Anyone try APC's conditioner? I'll be very curious to get your read your thoughts on this, Kal. I think I'm going to call APC tomorrow and ask them if there's really anything specially designed in these audio-targeted products of theirs. At work we occasionally disposition stu... | |
| Marantz DV-9500: Anyone Listened to it or Bought? Dennish and Dj, I also own the 9500 and like it very much. I have a question for you both, however. Do you hear a "click" when powering up the unit out of standby mode? I ask because I could swear my older DV8400 was dead silent when coming up out... | |
| Mark Levinson 26 pre amp How does the 26s compare to the 32? | |
| Do Kimber KCAG's sound bright???? Okay, Sean, are there any recommendations for a decent cooker? | |
| Processor hunt....does this animal exist?? Kgturner, I can confirm that EAD is no more, at least in the sense that they've closed their doors. Whether there is a move to bring it back to life is something I don't know. But the doors are definitely closed.Distortion, I agree that for pure 2... | |
| What does listening to a speaker really tell us? Drubin, I've been at the front tables many times at Mahanttan's Blue Note. Yes, that close you can hear many of these things, but then what you get is a different sort of presentation, not one that is any more or less demanding of an involuntary b... | |
| What does listening to a speaker really tell us? Marco, I'm not sure that what I'm trying to describe really is hyperdetail. I've heard ARC and Quicksilver tube gear sound wonderfully clear and open, and with the right recordings will give you that "open window" into the tiniest transients recor... | |
| What does listening to a speaker really tell us? You know, I've been reading through this thread, smiling at seeing the same kind of thoughts that have gone through my head over the last 25 years in audio. Whenever I think I have something that sounds right in my home I go to a concert and come ... | |
| Processor hunt....does this animal exist?? If you're willing to go used / older model, you could find an EAD Signature 8a. Or one of the newer 8000 or 8800 series. I know definitely that the 8a has almost all of the features you want. It has only one 12v trigger, but no DPL II. Everything ... | |
| "Bedini Ultra Clarifier", does it really work?? Jea48, thanks for the report. My feeling is that if my friend doesn't see what CD I'm putting in (he didn't) and the equipment was exactly the same each time (it was) then it means something, at least. No, it's not a double blind A-B or A-B-X test... | |
| looking for quality passive sub with 8" drivers If you want a passive sub with 8" drivers look no further than to the Shahinian Double Eagle or Hawk subwoofers. None better for the money, IMO (they're not cheap). Among the small number of truly musical, articulate passives around. | |
| quicksilver amps and preamps any thoughts ?? My friend has been a long time owner of the full function preamp. I like it a lot. A musical and transparent preamp with no hint of grain, excessive bloom, or "tubey" warmth. Beautiful midrange and speed when paired with a good SS preamp. I think ... | |
| "Bedini Ultra Clarifier", does it really work?? I have one of the regular Clarifiers. Back in the days when I first got it my friend and I got together for a test. He and I have a lot of the same CDs, so he brought some of his dupes. I had him sit in my listening spot (we used my system, which ... | |
| Does anyone know the future of EAD. Without getting into the warrantee issues, I can confirm that Boelen does indeed do great work on EAD gear. Frank Boelen was one of the founders of the original EAD, and many of the staff are from the original company. |
