I used to own Audio Research Ref 160S Amp, Ref 6SE Preamp, and Ref 3SE Phono. I replaced these components with the CH Precision M1.1, L1, and P1. I now have the CH Precision M10, L10, and P10. I had a chance to listen to an all Nagra system at my local dealer with the same speakers that I owned...
To offer some perspective on timing, I placed my order with jcp.de on November 25. On December 4, I received notification that my order was being processed and was expected to ship that day. That notification also reported that, if a tracking number is assigned, the tracking number will be...
Thanks for the input. There are definitely many different ways to try to tame a beast of a collection. I cannot imagine dealing with thousands of records. my new shelving was just installed so now I will start to figure out how to organize. I think I will use your methodology for intermingling...
I love the idea of a separate section for mono albums. Thanks! Do you separate your box sets or do you incorporate them within your genre sections with other albums?
Your description is consistent with the vague language on the SRA website; however, the owner (Kevin Tellekamp) has a serious physics and engineering background. According to Tone Audio Magazine: ‘His “day job” involves solving vibration-related issues for NASA and the US Military”.
I have followed WBF for only a few years. While I am not a frequent contributor, I check the new posts often and appreciate the knowledge and experience of those who do contribute. Therefore, I am writing to seek your experience and guidance with respect to a question of organization. While I...
Please feel free to contact me directly. I don't want to hijack this thread to make it about SRA or Timbernation. I was just trying to show my appreciation for wood racks generally.
The Massif racks are beautiful — enjoy them! It is nice to see wood racks receive some love and respect in this thread. I went in a similar but different direction with SRA which does not offer the same unique wood selections and artistry as Massif but I liked the simplicity of the aesthetic...
I am enjoying the combination of the P10 with the TechDas AFIIIP-S, Acoustical Systems Axiom, and Ortofon MC Diamond. Today I listened to the new Supersense lacquer pressing of Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On. The best I’ve heard this album.
Generally, to my ears, I am hearing or at least perceiving better instrument separation; a more pleasing or natural tone; less glare or sibilance; and a closer to “live” sound. I don’t mean to imply that the P1/X1 combination is lacking in any of these areas; rather, the P10 is just better in my...
Enjoy the P10. My CHP P10 was delivered and installed by my dealer on September 25, replacing the P1/X1. Since then, I have enjoyed many very happy hours of listening to vinyl, including the Supersense Mastercut Edition Getz/Gilberto; UK First Pressing of Joni Mitchell Court and Spark; Analogue...
I too used the Isoacoustics Gaia 2 on my Vivid Giya G2S2 speakers. I traded in the speakers and now have three sets of 4 footers that I am not using which I will eventually list for sale.
Having represented the workout department for two lenders, and after drafting many forbearance agreements in the course of that representation, I found that it is common for the bank to keep a distressed borrower on a very short leash. However, I don’t agree that banks are looking to create a...
The receiver filed a motion with the court for approval of the sale of certain assets of Audio Research to Acora Acoustics Corporation (Canada) for $1,088,818.18, free and clear of liens. The sale was completed on May 15, subject only to court approval. The sales proceeds are currently held in...
@DonH50, good summary. Again, I am just speculating but I am assuming that, if in fact a sale did occur, the bank knew exactly what it would get from the sale but agreed to accept less that it was owed because its liquidation analysis would project an even lower recovery from a foreclosure. The...
The latest development is that Minnesota Bank & Trust has given notice of a hearing for June 7 on its motion for entry of judgment against Trent Suggs under his Confession of Judgment. In exchange for the bank previously having agreed to forbear from immediately foreclosing on the assets of...
I have no inside information and do not have knowledge of any rumors about Audio Research. Based solely on the court filings to date, I expect that Trent Suggs has been walking a fine line of trying to find a buyer to maximize the return to the secured lender (the bank) in order to avoid paying...
I have been monitoring the case file. There were several filings yesterday, most notably including an updated list of creditors and a brief in support of the receiver’s motion to extend the court ordered stay (which creates a status quo to block collection efforts by creditors, among other...
Lee,
I am a practicing attorney in the areas of business and real estate transactions. I am not a bankruptcy attorney but have worked on both the purchase of businesses out of bankruptcy and out of court debt restructuring pursuant to the acquisition of a business. But, to be clear, my analysis...
I reviewed the Assignment filed on April 4 in state court. Audio Research voluntarily agreed to assign all of its assets to a receiver, Lighthouse Management Group, Inc. Lighthouse Management is in the business of working with troubled businesses and regularly acts as a receiver. This process is...
I have received excellent support from Taiko. I purchased the Extreme through an authorized dealer in the USA. The dealer took delivery from Taiko and reshipped the package to me. If there were any customs forms, I was unaware of them. The purchase and delivery to me was seamless and...
I echo the benefits of a continuous running device. I have and occasionally use the Furutech Destat III. I also have and always use the DS Audio ION-001. The ION-001 is ”plug and play” and requires nothing more than the flick of a switch. It is very stable and requires no fuss. If your plinth...
I would be more worried about the shelves, compact disks, brushes, and other assorted items balanced above your equipment than the chest below it. But I tend to worry.
Ron,
Although I am a practicing attorney, I am not a litigator. I am a transactional business and real estate lawyer. Therefore, I am no expert, but it is possible that a right of rescission which is an equitable remedy is not necessary if money damages are sufficient. On the other hand, the...
For what it's worth, I am a practicing attorney and read the complaint filed (on August 2, 2022) against Music Direct d/b/a Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab and MoFi. The following is a summary: The two plaintiffs, Stephen Tuttle and Dustin Collman, are seeking to certify two classes. The first class...
I am enjoying the Acoustical Systems Axiom with the AFIIIP. Sounds great; also, the owner of the company is a pleasure to work with. My dealer left me with a setup error and then was out of the country. Dieter Brakemeier jumped on a video call to walk me through the easy fix. Quality gear and...
I used to own the T+A PA 3100HV. It is very competent but I too found it to be a bit analytical and lacking in emotion. At least in my system at the time which included the Kharma S7S speakers. I have no experience with Thiel. What I found more problematic for me with my (rather inefficient)...
