From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsComing from a guy who has some pretty unobtanium jazz records. Culling will mean unloading lot's of duplicates of lesser rock and classical- some of it unloved. Chances are, it will all get packed ... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsIt has been a long while since I updated my system profile, largely because I haven't really changed anything. The Elation cable is terrific between the Allnic phono stage and the Veloce line stage... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemAlbert- I'm not going to pretend to know the answer, but my recollection of the original field coil devices was that there was much attention paid to the power supply, so it makes sense that the ju... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |

Jfrech's systemJohn: I've been running the Allnic H 3000 (not the 'V') for about a year and for what it's worth, it took well over 100 hours to run in, and continued to improve after that. I found that the fat ba... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

Albert Porter's SystemCongrats on the big Focals, Albert. I'll be interested in hearing you describe how they perform as you break them in. I'm heading back east in a few weeks for the summer, so when I get back to Texa... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemAlbert, your observations re the sensitivity of the Lyra Atlas to VTA mesh with my experience on the Titan i. (I appreciate that the Atlas is a different critter than the Titan, but there seems to ... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
KLH NinesThe fact that you can listen to live recordings you've made over a high quality tape playback system makes this even more enticing. I'd put up with coughs, kicked music stands and the like to hear ... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

Mike Lavigne's SystemMike: the concept of 'less interpretation by the brain' is a very apt way of describing why some systems sound musical and others sound like reproductions. I'm going to borrow that concept in other... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemFrom your first reactions, Mike it sounds like the word that sums it up is 'effortless.' And I imagine that with the big amps coming, that quality will be even more apparent. They look just right, ... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |

From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsThe Veloce and Allnic combo has really taken the system up several notches, and the bass is far deeper, with much better articulation. I haven't lost the midrange 'voice' that the Lamm L2 did so wo... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment |
