Till death do us partRotten: I'm moving too, from NY to Austin. I get it. But in my case, I'm gonna have a dealer friend break-down the system and store it for me (I will probably work out a different arrangement for t... posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |

Mike Lavigne's SystemI gotta say, i spoke with Mike over the phone to talk about doing a new room, and he is one of the most down to earth, refreshingly curious people I have spoken to in this hobby. I've been fiddling... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemHi, Albert. What arm are you using with the Atlas? (And by the way, I haven't posted here in years, so this will enable me to avoid the scrolll from 2006 or whatever, since i last posted to your sy... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsThe Kuzma is very 'absent' in the sense that you don't hear the turntable- bass is incredible and once it is set-up, it doesn't require any tweaking. The Airline arm is wonderful- I had an ET 2 at ... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
Sean's Time MachineSome interesting, and not common, equipment, at least from my perspective. We have the Allnic H3000 in common, and I used electrostats as my main system from about 1973 until around 2005 or 2006. S... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsNope, not feeling guilty about liking equipment, but I also have fallen into the trap oh so many times over the years of listening to the system rather than the music. And, I guess part of my joy t... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsThanks Charlesdad, i have seen some of your postings since i got back on the Gon in the last few months and you seem committed. I will confess that I am a gearhead, i think most of us are- yes, in ... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More Stepswell, the Lamm L2 line stage is back and I rarely wax enthusiastic about my own system, but there is magic going on here- the combination of the Allnic H3000>Lamm L2>Lamm ML2 amps is really alive; ... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsAlright, i will look for you there, slipnot, and thanks for the input. That's one of the valuable things about these Internet communities- and i've met a number of good people in the process. B... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsThanks, Slip. I am close. Hopefully, i get my linestage back this week, and we'll be rockin! Even in less than ideal circumstances, i am hearing those 'cues.' Some of them are shocking, actually an... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsSlip, sorry, I wanted to add a question, since you look like you are pretty stacked up with Allnic gear- Greg suggested that there would be an 'aha' moment when the H3000 really kicked into high ge... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsSlip, got one a those too, along with a Tung-Sol, which sounded quite good.I'm probably gonna try a few. I just got the fat base Mullard in, but I'm waiting for the Lamm to come back before I c... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsAs the Allnic continues to burn in, i have had moments of giddy disbelief in hearing things from records i never knew were there- not 'hyper-detail' but an immediacy with a very clear but wide focu... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsStrange. I have dedicated lines, but am not using any kind of AC filter on any of the equipment. The hum is not very noticeable, but maybe i will stick a filter on the woofers and see if that makes... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
To see and feel the musicAball- congrats on the Uno(s)! What amp are you using, the Tom Evans or the McIntosh? A dealer friend- who had Avantgardes- claimed that he got great results (on a Duo) with a largish Mc tube amp, ... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsAball- good for you. I really haven't listened to the latest version of the Uno. I gather it benefits from whatever driver upgrades were made in the Omega upgrade kit? The Nano has the tweeter inte... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |

From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsBMWCab-Yes, there is a slight buzz to the sub transformers if you get close to the speaker but it is a mechanical buzz, it doesn't convey to the signal delivered by the woofers. I've thought over t... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
