| There Is Nothing Like the Real Thing - Our State of the Art @waytoomuchstuff The drag strip is, truly, sensory overload. Ain't nothing like the smell of burned nitro mixing with the olfactory rush of deep fried turkey legs and burning rubber all swathed in 140 db of rampaging funny car. | |
| Forgotten name of manufacturer How 'bout Antique Sound Labs? They made the Hurricane power amp. | |
| Top 10 Live Albums I listened to my two faves last night back to back..."Live at Leeds" and "Rock and Roll Animal". And I hadn't seen this thread, either. | |
| Tom Evans Phono Preamp Repair @tabl10s Just tried your attached link and no go. | |
| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup No way a dinky SET will drive those speakers. @atma-sphere has told me more than once that high sensitivity, full range passive speakers need some grunt even if the specs suggest otherwise. This same idea has been reinforced many times in reviews ... | |
| Check This Out! Well, it took me a full day to catch the error in my previous post. It was supposed to read 2 BILLION micro farads, not 2 Billion farads. That's still a piss pot full of farads and I have never heard of any other audio component sporting anywhere ... | |
| Check This Out! 2 BILLION farads...? Does that even make sense? I cannot imagine the need/benefit. Grannyring, can you help me understand the significance of this seemingly over-the-top specification from a functional point of view. I'd think you'd need a chassis... | |
| Check This Out! Apparently Cinnamon is coming out with a new DAC called the model II that is a two box (rectangular in shape) affair sporting some new tech/implementation. No info on price that I saw. | |

| 6SN7GT VT231 TUBES @shkong78 Are you still on the Melz 1578 bandwagon? I bought two pair from an ebay seller you had cited. My experience with them was dismal as none of them made 50 hours use. I just ditched the last pair a few days ago. Don't get me wrong...I... | |
| Does anyone on AG truly care anymore about objectivity & sincerity of Magazine reviews? If memory serves me, it seems that you've already been down this exact road before. Do you have some kind of beef with YG? | |
| Your reaction to Herve Deletraz’s statement re: hi end and darTZeel I am not really sure what his point(s) is/are because I find his statements vaguely worded and incomplete. | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 @charles1dad Thought you might find it interesting that Total DAC is coming out with a new (first for them?) transport fitted with the SU CD Pro 8 mechanism. I have not seen a price so far. | |
| Electrocompaniet AW300M or AW800M versus McIntosh 1.25KW? The only experience I have with Electrocompaniet is yours and. if I recall correctly, yours seems to be quite favorable. That's good enough for me! | |
