    Are You a Furry as Well as an Audiophile?

    OK, I'll be the idiot here--what the hell is a 'furry'?

    Anyone have Sound Lab electrostatic speakers? I Searched...

    The Majestic 745s have been ordered for a couple months and MIGHT be here by the end of April.. I've been evaluating amps using my Vandersteen 7.2s: --Pass X260.8s--fabulous sound but too much heat, and these are the class-A/B versions! --Ayre MR-Xs--sublime-sounding on my 7.2s and...

    Anyone have Sound Lab electrostatic speakers? I Searched...

    I've heard a pair last week, and those characteristics were just fine for me.. That system was the best-sounding I've EVER heard, and I intend to buy a pair of Majestic 745s.

    Are you an audiophile or a music lover?

    WAY-too-many rules in your definitions. I LOVE music and attend maybe-thirty live musical events per year.. I also have an expensive, hi-end music-reproduction system; it's for playing music, NOT for dazzling fellow audiofools.

    There's a dealer, Blue Skies Audio, in San Diego; I'll be driving over Saturday the 23rd to hear his.. The $35K Majestic 745s appear to be right for my room.. I'm REALLY looking forward to this.

    Anyone have Sound Lab electrostatic speakers? I Searched...

    ...but couldn't find anything but a question on PCs for SLs. I've had electrostatic ('EL') speakers...Quad 57s, 57s paired, 2905s, AudioStatic somethings...and other open-baffle panel speakers over the decades, and I'm again fantasizing about buying speakers that create a larger soundstage for...

    Another best-ever listening experience

    Happens every halfyear or so...when the moon, planets, and stars align, the electricity is purer, it's very quiet in the house, I'm ready to sit and do nothing but listen and love the music, etc.. The music this time was Gustav Hosts's The Planets, Suite for Large Orchestra, one of my...

    "Why the conductor matters" indeed.

    Atma-Sphere Class D Mono blocks

    Hi Ralph! My pair of Simaudio/Moon 400Ms have been in the musicroom gathering dust, so after one of my first-line poweramps decided not to turn on, I reinstalled the Moon 400Ms and set a 100Hz hi-pass filter in the preamp*. The system, overall, still sounded excellent, and then (back into my...

    Speakers after Vandersteen 7

    Just ran into this thread.. I bought, this summer, Ken/Alpinist's V'steen 7.2s and M7s; apparently he is moving west and will have less room, and I was willing to fly 2500 miles to Newark, rent an SUV, retrieve the 7.2s and 'M7s, and drive them home.. Richard V. told me that to his knowledge...

    GAIA feet for S5mkii? Diameter?

    Bartolo, do be aware that the original thread in the top of the Gaia-I is M12-1.25, and that, of course, is the thread on the bottom half of all the stud-adapters. I'm currently adaping Gaia-Is to my Vandersteen Seven Mk.IIs which have 9/16-18 spikes, so I'm having to drill and tap that...
