Guys,

I was into buying a pair of JM Lab Electra Be Floorstanders (EUR 5.200 / pair), when a Dealer in the South of France offered me to compare the electras to a pair of ESL-989s he had in his showroom.

Although the Electras were very good, they sounded far less convincing than the ESL 989's, with a number of different amps, both solid-state and tubed. We also listened to the top-of-the range Triangles (I guess the Magellans).

At most live venues, key is to have RELIABLE good sounding equipment, cables that work, hold up to stress and abuse. Yet when "audiophiles" need wires, they somehow need some bizzare concepts, and some kind of nonsense to reproduce the music that was originally done with just heavy duty, reliable, strong, walked on, not lifted off the floor, since I guess the floor in a studio or live venus has different attributes than an "audiophiles" listening area. How come the "audiophiles" floor needs wires lifted off it, while real musicans, and sound people just let it hang.?

If anyone knows a former distributor, the maker or a technician from the maker of the company that made the former Turntable Le Tallec Stasis 1. I hope that person will help me find the Drive pulley for my STASIS 1 Turntable made in France. Unfortunately I lost that part of that turntable making it unusable. I will appreciate any help to recuperate that equipment. I thank you in advance for you help. Please contact me at smark951@yaho0.com or 514-827-8648.

Again thank you.

Hi,

I have a pair of Soliloquy 5.3 s. These speakers have a metal base, with spikes. I have a carpeted wood floor. I am considering buying some 1" thick granite tiles/slabs and placing the speakers on these. My hope is that the bass will tighten up and have more definition. Any thoughts?
I will let you know how my experiment goes.
