Mike Lavigne's SystemMike, Tuboo, I heard the Lohengrin powered by an all Accuphase chain (A45/2810/DP800/DC801/VPI/Herron) with MIT cabling and some room treatment recently. I agree with Mike that the Lohengrin is a v... posted almost 18 years ago | View comment | |

Mike Lavigne's SystemMike, all those improvements... the "hairdryer" tweak, the MPS-5, the new MM3 position, reel-to-reel. Don't you think its time to update some of your pics? Would love, and I'm surely not alone, to ... posted almost 18 years ago | View comment | |

Audiophile Heaven AntwerpLapierre, thanks for your reply. Obviously the fuses need to be in the signal path for them to have any sonic effect. Both my pre and power amps do not have the fuses in the signal path, therefore ... posted almost 18 years ago | View comment | |
