From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsHey, Chris. Thanks. The Lamm is a very good component, and a welcome addition. You were one factor in nudging me to try a linestage. At the time 6moons did their initial review of the Steelhead, Je... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsWhen I got started in earnest in this hobby, say in about 1971-72, the younger hobbyists regarded horn-type speakers as outmoded hold-overs- A-7s were still used for sound support at concerts, but ... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsThanks, Thomas. I have admired the simple beauty of your set-up, despite the complex of costly components. Two questions: given the host of tonearms you have, are you running several different tabl... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |

From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsThanks, Oz. New pics soon. The XL and Air Line are now up and running on the proper stand, tweaked by Bill Parrish. Thing sounds pretty awesome. posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsI don't let the devil in my house. No digital in this system. One source. TT. Vinyl. Call me a luddite. The amount of work and expense necessary to get digital into the ballpark can, to me, be bett... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsThanks, Clfcarney. Let me see how things shake out with the new TT and arm. I have heard good things about the Tom Evans equipment- also told that the Lamm tube monoblocks sound superb on the Duos.... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Nirvana with Home Theater tooI also enjoy the Duo/Audipax experience in my room. Just wondering if you have compared the sound without the screen in the middle- since that's got to affect the center stage, yes? posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsNrostov- I'll be able to give you a better assessment of the Hydras once I complete the electrical system makeover that is now started in my room. (See other thread on what not to do).I bou... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |

From Electrostats to Horns -More Steps6.0 Diablo in Rosso Vik. I bought it from MCI in Missouri a little over a year ago- if you know anything about Lambos, this is one of the more desirable modern ones- it is the last of the Diablos, ... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsHerman, due to the weird configuration of the room, and the fact that the video system had been installed a couple years before, the best placement for the audio-only system turned out to be the 'b... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |

From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsWell, a few upgrades in the past couple days. First, a Grand Prix stand, with the carbon shelf and the Apex footers, for the amps. It was like pulling the car out of the mud and driving on fresh ta... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsThanks, Chris. It is, like most systems, a work in progress. I have added the RealTraps, Hydras with Shunyata cords- also using them on the Duos- and am closing in on a turntable. I won't change th... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
From 'Stats to Horns.... a journeyChris- the 'kickdrum conundrum' is not a question of 'tightness,' but instead, a HUGE dynamic difference. In the little club I frequent, I sit maybe 40 feet from the stage in a room which has norma... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
From 'Stats to Horns.... a journeyChris- The Cardas jumper is that I am using was custom made from the Golden Reference cable, and is not the one that is normally sold for a few hundred dollars. The Audiopax amps are very, very nic... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
From 'Stats to Horns.... a journeyChris- I am sharing the same experience. My Crosby Quads stand idle, and my ARC Classic 60 collects dust for now- the Avantgarde Duos (got mine at the beginning of February) are just starting to br... posted over 19 years ago | View comment |
