| Bent Silver TX102 compared to Placette RVC I have a Bent 102 on order right now with the copper trannies, as opposed to the silver. John Chapman tells me that the latest version of the trannies I am getting have OCC copper windings and that the results have been outstanding. I will post my... | |
| 6922 tube companies, who do you like best? There really isn't a lot to say that doesn't border on generalities to some extent. Hate to be another "it depends on what system and where in the system" poster, but it is true, and often expensive to determine.If I could suggest only one thing, ... | |
| 6922 tube companies, who do you like best? HUGE difference, depending. | |
| Phono Stage for passive preamp control Maybe you're referring to the Rhea. (?) The IO's I have seen have been about $4K+ used.I have decided to go with a Bent Audio 102 passive preamp which is seemingly less finicky with respect to impedance matching than perhaps some other units. I am... | |
| Records are better. I actually heard it Well, yes you are, Tom, but that is the subject for another thread! :-) Seriously, though, it is good to see younger blood bitten by the analog bug. Do me a favor, Matt, SPREAD THE WORD to your compadres as my son is doing. Just don't frequent my ... | |
| Do you rember your first? I had a few hand-me-down record players, including a Zenith console. But, the first COMPONENT system I bought for myself will never be forgotten. Pioneer QX-747 Quad receiver - later trade even up for a Marantz 4400 receiver Pioneer PL-55DX direct... | |
| 1st song you remember??? Take Me Out to the Ballgame.....thankfully, no audiophile version of that one. | |
| Putting floorstanding speakers on stands... I bought a pair of Osiris Giza multi-purpose stands that I used to some effect in a previous setup (same folks that made the acclaimed 24" speaker stands). They weigh a ton and, when filled with sand, require two people to postion them without cau... | |
| Compiling info for Audiogon FAQ's Tireguy: If a one long-running thread would obviate the need for multiple threads of this type, I fully concur with your suggestion. :-) | |
| mcintosh mc 202 VS. McCormack dna 225 I can highly recommend the DNA-225, as I own one. I have never heard the McIntosh you reference, but I would imagine most would argue that McIntosh is anything but mid-fi. | |

| Pass Labs Xono - Any users out there? Hmmm. If that is the case, and you have proof, Reb, I would think that those who have purchased them would have a claim for false advertising. I have seen the same deal posted on the Galen Carol site. Galen Carol is reputed to be beyond reproach, ... | |
| Return to analog I might suggest settling on a table, but be thinking of the cartridge and arm as a unit. By that, I mean think of which cartridges and which arms will mate well together, as opposed to, say, buying an arm and then being resticted to cartridges wit... | |
| Pass Labs Xono - Any users out there? Yes, well, perhaps I should provide more detail as to why I pose the question. I am considering going with a separate line and phono stage. I would like to continue with a tube line stage in front of my SS McCormack amp but am open to a SS phono s... | |
| REVIEW: Virtual Dynamics NITE Digital Cable I looked to find that the Nites were about $1600 for 1.5m IC's and $1500 for 5ft. PC's (RETAIL). Maybe I am the "poor boy" in this forum but, at that price, I would think that these are giants to be killed, not giant killers as referred to above..... |
