    Canon Powershot S110

    I've had both the S100 and now an S120 - the battery life is getting better with each iteration. The touchscreen is OK as is the WiFi. Picture quality is great for a 1.7" sensor - Canon has now moved to the backlit CMOS sensor. To get a grip, check out FLIP-BAC. The S100 grip shown on the...

    Are these the best speaker's in the world?

    So, may I ask, six months after your post, which amps are you now using and how is your system settling in?

    From Avalon to ???

    Hi Peter - just want to confirm my understanding of your "handshake" comment...Spectral and Avalon work great together? I'm hoping to arrange a session with some Spectral gear, just out of interest for the brand, but if I can get a "heads up" on what works "best" (gawd, that's a dangerous word)...

    Any thoughts on Verity Audio Lohengrin II

    +1 here. I've only heard them once in Montreal. My recollection is very positive and I think they were with Nagra (but could be wrong). If the price fits your means, then I'm confident you won't be disappointed. My 2 cents...

    Speakers "commonly" used with Spectral?

    LL21 - I see you're the "Gryphon leader" on WBF, I'm surprised that you haven't put up a Gryphon page under the manufacturers yet;)

    World Cup predictions anyone?

    Should be fun to watch whatever the outcome. I hope Brazil, as the host nation, has been able to overcome the construction delays, structural collapses and protests in time for the whole event.

    Digital Photography: What does one really need?

    I've been using a Clik bag - which sits on my chest. Was very convenient and safe when in Portugal, Spain and Morocco...particularly when whisking through areas like the Cazbah in Tangier. These Clik bags are generally for a body and lens attached along with some accessories like batteries...

    World Cup predictions anyone?

    Same here...I suppose I'd have to call England or Sweden "my team" - at least from the ancestral POV, and I don't think England really has anymore chance than Sweden winning this time around...

    Speakers "commonly" used with Spectral?

    Yes, I heard them both - very comparable and yes, the Mephisto was/is very reminiscent of the Antileon as you say. It's as though everything in the Antileon had been improved upon - noise floor in particular. The Mephisto is dead silent. In so many ways the Pandora/Mephisto are a throwback to...

    Speakers "commonly" used with Spectral?

    Ok, will do....w/o hijacking the thread I started, some months back I spent some time considering Colosseum monos vs. Mephisto stereo. Even wrote to Jeff Fritz @ Ultra Audio...ultimately, my choice between the two came down to money. I fully understand your staying with the Zanden...

    World Cup predictions anyone?

    World Cup predictions anyone?

    The Netherlands can play football...wrt to Portugal, I can't help but feel that they will go as Cristiano goes.

    World Cup predictions anyone?

    Ya, all I've heard out of England was their concern about the heat in Brasil....not too positive, I guess their drought will continue. Are you predicting Brasil as a fan, or on some things that you know? USA is in tough with Germany and Portugal in their group - and I've no idea where Ghana is...

    Speakers "commonly" used with Spectral?

    Hi Lloyd - I suspect we have some things in common. I'll post my system (as you do), once I figure out how to. I use Altair2 with Gryphon Mephisto(hence my taking umbrage elsewhere on WBF) and Pandora, fronted by Stahl-Tek with a mix of PAD and Transparent cabling. To my ears, this system is...

    World Cup predictions anyone?

    I'm looking forward to this, but I'm not too sure who the real frontrunners are. In particular, I'll be interested to see if Korea and Japan are able to pull some upsets.
