Digital loveChad, why have you not considered the Scintilla? your amp would easily handle it. Perhaps none have come up in your yard? You would be surprised what it's bass panel can do. And that cardioid MRT!!! posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveI loved hearing Cabasse as well. In a large room they can put up a seamless soundstage. I was tempted to go that way before I got Henry's amps on my Apogees. Are those ribbon microphones at... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveChad, your frequent approximation to the real music and your intimate knowledge of the recording industry raises your audio stock considerably. I heard Henry's paired with a Supratek Cabern... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveChadeffect and Mapman, I will be open minded to the DCS line. They do not use a DAC chip. Since they take a physically unique approach dedicated to preserving the live event, I can't count them out... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |

Digital loveYes, I am aware of DCS. Remember, it was developed to do just what we don't want, tag the signal. In the military, you want to be able to relate intelligence back to the source. Whether that subjec... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |

I'll make an (Audio) Note of that!Hey Doug, when is the next party? I can bring a great wine from the foothills. In two days I am going to SF to listen to Gallo speakers powered by a new super version of my amps. posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveMapman, I'd like to answer that, because of my speaker's are the worst of the lot as power consumers. my Apogee speakers are atrocious pigs. They are 1 ohm, and 76 Db sensitivity. People have been ... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHi Chad,It has been reported that power conditioners devour current. Since my speakers are very hungry for current, I have not used them. Maybe newer designs don't. As can be read o... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |

Digital loveCarl, no one here was arguing any Apogee vs. the Grand, except Florian. This is Chad's system site. We are just saying, it is not good manners to criticize a system you haven't heard. Just because ... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |

Digital loveFlorian now??? Don't understand it is very bad manners to enter a virtual system to throw eggs? That is why they call it a, "Virtual System." page. It is not one you can listen to. Compla... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
