| Piano on vinyl - the best Dave Brubeck .... "Together Again for the First Time."The sixteen minute live version of "Take Five" with Gerry Mulligan, Paul Desmond, and the boys is amazingly well done. | |
| Rotel RCD-1520 or 1072? I haven't heard the 1520, but I am really happy with my RCD-1072. It's a very musical CD player, with "analog-like" sound. I have never experienced the typical "digital listening fatigue" with my deck, and its HDCD playback feature is a cool bonus... | |
| Downgrading from Rega P5, what next? I agree with Johnnyb53. Keep the P-5. Happy Listening, and my best wishes for health and happiness to your growing family. | |
| Rogue Audio 99 or CJ Classic Preamp? Sounds like a great idea, and taking advantage of your dealer's trade-in program makes a lot of sense. I am a big Rogue Audio fan, and I'm sure the M-180 amps will sound terrific with your speakers. I like the idea of keeping amplification within ... | |
| Rogue Audio 99 or CJ Classic Preamp? How do you like the synergy between your Cronus and your Silverline speakers ? Do they work well together ? If you're happy with the music now, what are you looking for by upgrading to a new amp/pre-amp combination ? | |
| Best Overall Value in a KT-88 tube Don't know much about KT-88's, but I am loving my Gold Lion KT-77's. I purchased them from tctubes.com, and got a real nice matched quad. The guys at tctubes were a pleasure to work with....you may want to speak with them about their ideas. Happy ... | |
| How does a beginner turntable compare to digital ? Buy the new Rega RP-1 (around $450, including a good "starter" cartridge), and have a ball ! This should match up perfectly with your Brio and Harbeths, and you'll have a really wonderful entrance into the great world of analog. Don't worry about ... | |
| Album which you have listened to most? Allman Brothers Band.......Live at Filmore East | |
| Best U.S. made integrated tube amp under $2500? Rogue Audio Cronus....I have the original "non-Magnum" version, and it is a wonderful integrated amplifier. It sounded great with the original Svetlana EL-34's, but I recently changed to a matched quad of Genelex Gold Lion KT-77's. Holy Cow !! It'... | |
| Speakers for 55 watts of EL-34 tube power ? Thanks a lot guys.......... Pubul57, I'm in upstate NY, but I really appreciate your offer. I do love the Vandersteen sound, and my music room is truly my "sweet spot," where I escape the troubles of the world and am able to relax and wholehearted... | |
| Speakers for 55 watts of EL-34 tube power ? Any more ideas out there ? | |
| My Venture into Hifi with Vandersteen Model 1 Well....talk all you want about Vandersteen 1C's and tube amplifiers. Trust me....it's an awesome combination. I just finished listening to Eva Cassidy "Live at Blues Alley" on my system, and I had tears in my eyes. The music sounded absolutely in... | |
| My Venture into Hifi with Vandersteen Model 1 Dhunte21..... I've always enjoyed the synergy between my AudioQuest cables and my Vandy's. As you are first starting out, don't stress about the cables. Simple AQ Type 4 speaker cables would be a good inexpensive beginning. But there are TONS of o... | |
| My Venture into Hifi with Vandersteen Model 1 Hey (again) Pubul57....... My compliments to you. Your system must sound absolutely wonderful ! You should be quite proud about what you have assembled. Bravo ! | |
| My Venture into Hifi with Vandersteen Model 1 Hey Pubul57.....Nice correction. The Vandy 1C's are indeed quite easy to drive with low power tube amps. My 55 watt Rogue Audio Cronus really matches well with them, and I've heard them sound fantastic with an old pair of 20 watt Bedini tube amps.... |
