Shadowfax replied to a thread In Stereo With Mike & Rick - A New Podcast Series in General Audio Discussion

I was just watching volume 2 and had 10-15 minutes left when the video stopped and said Unavailable. I refreshed the page and the message was This Video is Private. Not sure what all that was but great segments on Fyne Audio. And yes, they can play...

Shadowfax replied to a thread What Vinyl Do You Have On The Table? in Music Forum

I don't have a good pic of this old obscure album. This local Philly band played a show in my Jr High School auditorium in 1975 and I loved this music from the start. Gave all my albums away in '88 but was able to find a pristine copy in a used...

Shadowfax replied to a thread Fyne 702 and 502sp in Fyne Audio

I did not get to compare the 502SPs to the 702s. I did get to hear the F1-8s and preferred the 502SPs. I guess it all comes down to your goals, room size and what you will drive them with. I will have to let those who heard both in question...

Shadowfax replied to a thread Fyne 702 and 502sp in Fyne Audio

The size and shape of the cabinet is what takes them to another level in a similar way the 502SPs do over the stock 502s. Also the Xovers are not 100% identical, but pretty close from what I have read. The 702 will probably play better in a...

I can agree with Mike. It is not just where they are built, the SPs are a different animal. I auditioned both the standard and then the 502SPs and had to double my budget that quickly. That said, the build quality and Walnut on the SPs is...

Got my copy of Jazz Sabbath Volume 2 a few weeks ago. It's been spun several times but not enough. Volume 2 doesn't quite have the same drive and pizazz as the first one. It's barely 41 minutes long and certainly could be longer. I don't know about...

At AXPONA Krell was showing a new version of ksa-250 "XD" that they were really proud of and hiping. I personally thought the amp should have had a different name as it's not the same topology as the real ksa250. In my eyes Krell hasn't fully...

While on vacation I discovered a great used vinyl shop about an hour from my house. Picked up a Seatrain LP, as I hadn't thought about them in years. This was their third release "Marblehead Messenger". Nice mellow stuff that reminds me of Traffic.
