| List or discuss your favorite music Here is my list (emphasis on most varied of style), of some of the LP's that I enjoy for musical or emotional reasons. I won't attempt explaining which I think have sonic merit. Bill Evans "Final Village Vanguard Sessions" (Mosiac), Dead Can Dance... | |
| Whats the best and quietest 12AX7 tube Gedrrym5 gives good advice about Kevin. My experience with Kevin and the (French Mil) Mazda's is excellent as well. If you want the quietest and least expensive new tube, another option is the 12AX7 LP Sovtec. This is the ONLY Sovtec tube I like. ... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... Carl, I Could not agree with you more. And I am sincerely sorry if my postings back to you caused you any anguish, it became a game for both of us. The emotion that all of us audiophiles feel when we get the music better than the last time, makes ... | |
| Best Electrostatic loudspeaker? If you will post me your e-mail address, I will write you with my e-mail address and phone number. I have Ultimate Ones and have tons of info on Soundlab in general. There is an audio group here and together we own six pair of Soundlabs. | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... Calloway, I sincerely hope that you are right about SACD. I stated in one posting that the CES was not a proper place to listen as the results were often poor there. I will try SACD in my home (you are correct, that IS the proper place), as soon a... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... Carl, you are definitely one poster who needs a category of "argument" rather that "discussion" as a button to push at this site. I think you are more interested in making wise cracks than stating your position. Or, perhaps wise cracks IS your pos... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... "Snook2", if you will please give me your e-mail address, I will e-mail you so we can trade phone numbers, that way we can speak in person. I would be glad to pay for the call. Maybe you live near enough that you could join us in one of our music ... | |

| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... And I said nothing about double blind testing. The reason for a group of people listening and testing together is so no one person controls the outcome of the test. The music is chosen based on what multiple people like, and subsequently this forc... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... The subject was on the question of SACD and how it compared to older formats. It is important to consider that currently there are not enough software titles available for any serious music lover in SACD format. Even if there were 1000 titles, rig... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... I heard a direct comparison (by reservation) of the SACD at the CES in Vegas last month. I was sitting with a reviewer from a prominent high end audio magazine. The people at Sony played Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell and other music that I was famili... | |
| Milty Zerostat Gun I have the old Zerostat, and I suspect it is the same as the Milty Zerostat. In answer to your question, yes the gun will eliminate ticks, pops and lower surface noise IF static is the source of those noises. If, however the noise, ticks etc. is b... | |
| Cones, spikes, or vibrapods for heavy sp Both of the other postings are solid advice. I use Simply Physics feet under my electrostatics, and the spikes they employ are of stainless steel. The advantage of Simply Physics feet is that they are adjustable to within a few thousands of an inc... | |
| Wolcott amps The best tube amps? To "The3dman", how did you manage to hear the Viva amps and the Lamm Audio together? There must not be more than a half dozen of the Viva's in the whole USA. What is the chance that the Lamm is there too? Did you really hear them together or just ... | |
| Good quality KT88 power tubes? I suggest you check with the designer of your amp, and see if you can substitute other tubes in place of the KT88. Possible alternatives (beyond the KT90 already suggested) are, 6550, 5881, and 6L6. Old stock American tubes (used, good) are superb... |
