| Guitar Solos Ritchie Blackmore did some pretty amazing things with his strat. Truly, one of the very best that rock has had to offer. | |
| Musical Design or Van Alstine for new preamp? Phd, please explain tube rolling. I have the original SP-1, which still sounds good. I tried some NOS tubes, but ended up with a high-pitched noise in one of the channels. I would love to tweak this old preamp without spending an arm and a leg. | |
| Want better sounding speakers?......Look at this Rpatric, further reading of the Dakiom site answered my question about amplifier output ratings. As you are probably aware, Dakiom makes different models (i.e.: A-103+) to handle different output ratings. My question about IC's and speaker wire st... | |
| Want better sounding speakers?......Look at this Rpatrick, what do you know about the Dakiom stabilizer products? Your post encouraged me to check out their site. I was very interested in what I read. Then, as I checked out the image of the A-103 output stabilizer, I noticed a maximum usage rati... | |
| Listening Fatigue Regarding mint604's assessment of acoustic suspension designs; a certain person with the last name of Dunlavy happened to design some of the best sounding speakers of the era that are still holding there own this very minute. I wish I had some Dun... | |
| How often to Audiophiles upgrade their equipment? Yea Satch, I'm hung-over too. I want to buy more gear...need more gear. I wish I was rich. I'm not. So, I can only wish. But, that's getting old. I need a new (cheap) hobby. I can't even drink like I used to. damn! | |
| How often to Audiophiles upgrade their equipment? Satch, I'll match your three cocktails and up it two! Cheers back to you. An audio forum should focus on audio, not finance. For that reason, I was off course. However, I've gotten some very good advice from fellow Agoners and have cyberacted with... | |
| How often to Audiophiles upgrade their equipment? Oh Satch, I didn't say I was a responsible guy. I'm trying very hard to be one though. It sounds like schugh@shaw.ca is young and wants some earnest advice. The $14,000 I spent on my rig (which isn't even considered high-end by today's standards) ... | |
| How often to Audiophiles upgrade their equipment? Personal budget is the key and only a fool would disagree.Remember, to live a middle-income lifestyle relative to $50-$70,000 today, a 35-40 year old will need approximately $1.4 - $2 million at retirement (most of us won't see social security). I... | |

| Double up on Kimber Kable 4TC?? Thanks Sean. That's what I thought might be the case. I have been using some older AQ (Lapis). I imagine that the Lapis may be contributing to the bright side. You've been most helpful with your advice and suggestions regarding IC's. I took your a... | |
| Double up on Kimber Kable 4TC?? behnegan,I recently heard that the Homegrown Audio Silver Lace is excellent. My system tends to be on the bright side, I wonder what that IC would do, since it is silver??Todster,Each "single" run of Kimber 4tc is actually one pair, with the posit... | |
| Double up on Kimber Kable 4TC?? Thanks for your input behnegan@bc.edu. I too feel that I am getting good performance by doubling up on 4tc. I definitely like the sound better than single runs of 4tc.Now I'm looking for some good interconnects ($300/less/1-meter pair/RCA). Any th... | |
| IC advice needed Dr. Sean and Dr. Trelja: Great advice. Thank you so much. | |
| IC advice needed I'm surprised no one has recommended the Coincident Speaker Tech CST IC. While investigating IC possibilities I have come across some (all of them) excellent reviews. Last year's Recommended Components listed this IC in Class A and Class B. In fac... |
