| Music Hall mmf-5 vs. Rega P3 Every P3 I've heard sounds bright (although maybe it's the systems?). generally the MMFs are a little less $$ and more of a turn-key solution, like someone else mentioned. The rega arms are great, bu tI don't know about the rest of the table. But ... | |
| pls recommend some "entry level" tube amp options? Prima Luna, Jolida, Quicksilver, Rogue, Conrad Johnson, VTL, Manley, Cayin, ASL, AES (and Cary), Connsonance, DIY HiFi Supply, Dynaco (and other vintage toob amps) are all brands that you should consider. | |
| Hiff Eff. Full Range Fostex Driver question Nathan, these are single driver. They only need a sub if you listen to electronic, amplified music loudly. You won't need a sub if you like girl with guitar music, for example. The transient speed and clarity is amazing. Just ask Tom (Twl).Aaron | |
| Hiff Eff. Full Range Fostex Driver question No, the Omegas can do it. they can play loud. You'll just need a sub to augment the lower octaves in SPL. (they'll lose some bass response as the SPLs rise.) I heard Louis demo his Omegas with Consonnance tube gear (or was it DIY HiFi?) at the MAF... | |

| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Not the conversation you wanted, but you might just focus on member bwhite's posts in the 'preamp deal of the century' thread. If I recall correctly bwhite was one of the eariler tube rollers and power cord rollers for the supratek preamps. I bet ... | |
| Turntable Upgrades Again Sputniks, I would dump what you ahve (since it's a maintenance headache) and buy a Teres (or similar) with a spare bearing. | |
| Turntable Upgrades You Oracle has probably been bested by a lot of turntable designs in the past 10 years. I suggest you trade it in for a Teres and also buy a spare bearing. That should give you the relability, peace of mind, and duty cycle you need. You will also ... | |
| suggest tube amp wattage for my speakers..? 50-99wpc of tube. I know you are looking for monobloc amps, but a Manley Stingray integrated tube amp would be a lovely match given that you speakers appear to be two-ways, 87dB/2.83v/m, 8 ohm rated, (maybe) 6 nominal, (maybe) 4 ohm minimal, and t... | |
| Monitors or floorstander to match Velodyne DD15? Magnepan 1.6/QR. | |
| ELP laser turntable - any comments? Try this link. I have, too, read that the ELP Laser turntables magnify surface noise. For factor something like a Keith Monks or Loiricraft RCM into the total price, since you probably want to have a very great RCM to use with the ELP. Also I have... | |
| Instruments of the Orchestra This post struck me as odd that someone would be "into" classical music without formal training nor having previously played in an (ameteur) orchestra or wind band. ?? I keep forgetting how few musicians are here among the audiophile ranks. Just a... | |
| More personal effort in audiogon or our jobs? guilty as charged. | |
| Mono bloc amp with long rca cables I see 12m ICs to my tube monoblocs as well. No problems assuming your preamp can drive long interconnects. | |
| Need help with tube linestage-SF vs ARC vs Others Although it doesn't meet the remote control, balanced, or HT bypass requirements, I would recommend the Transcendent Sound 'Grounded Grid' preamp. Available as a kit or sold direct as an assembled product. This tube linestage will do justice to th... |
