| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Pat-As always you know yourself, Barb, Amanda, and Scott are in our thoughts and prayers. (just a reminder) I will try to give you a call soon and see how that "read" of yours is coming along...I will tell you this after I got a call last week fro... | |
| Whest Audio ps.20 phono stage w/.20 power supply Great to hear! I actually own the Whest phono amp as well - just haven't heard it yet. :o It was part of my new analog rig and the dealer is actually tweaking my table/cartridge/amp as we speak. However, I can only give my opinion on what I hear a... | |
| Meadowlark Shearwater vertical orientation. Tim-Just an FYI, a couple of hundred bucks on the Eighth Nerve room pack goes a long, long way. Worked wonders in my room, and highly recommended. I was stunned by how much the overall sound was improved. Good luck on your journey. | |
| Subtlety ? do any American amps do it? Have owned both the Quicksilver Linestage and their V4 monoblocks. While both are good, the preamp is easily bested by the First Sound Presence Deluxe Mk II, American as well. The V4 amps are bested by the H2o Signature Monoblocks by Henry Ho - al... | |
| First Sound Presence mk11 vs Audio Research L.S.25 I can't directly comment on the LS 25 versus the Presence Deluxe Mk II, however I have owned the ARC LS15 in the past and currently own the Presence Deluxe Mk II. I would not consider looking back at all, balanced or not. The First Sound Presence ... | |
| Do you remember your first cd? Yes, I remember it. But - must I admit what it was? In my defense, I didn't "choose" it. :)I worked all summer at the golf course (about age 15 I think) to make enough money to get a Pioneer "rack" system from Sears (LoL) that was $800. I had to e... | |
| Help / Comments - New Construction - Sort of... Thanks Jim-Do you think it is best to just go with a single layer of sheetrock or to go with the dual layers and the PL200 in between? My concern is I may not be present when they are putting the rock up and will really have no idea if they use en... | |
| Help / Comments - New Construction - Sort of... Hey Jim-At this point, no. Just staggering the second layer of drywall, and it should be a different thickness as well. I will be utilizing a damping material tape on the studs, and will be "stagger studding" the wall that the listening room and t... | |

| CD player - need your opinion Audio Aero Prima - take two. This is a very good player, and can be had used for close to your price point. | |
| Help / Comments - New Construction - Sort of... Spoke with the builder and the I joists will be 16" on centers, subfloor is 3/4" screwed and glued. It sounds like the wall that is "shared" behind the speakers in the listening room, and behing the headboard in the master bedroom will be address ... | |
| Review: ZYX Airy2 and Airy3 Cartridge Danieltancc-I would give Mehran at SoraSound a call, you can find him here on A'Gon... He will explain the sonic differences/virtues and give you a recommendation based upon what you think will be a good synergy with your system. Very helpful &... | |
| Cleveland, OH I grew up in NE Ohio, and remember a few years back I think there was a store named Hoffman's ??? However, the last time I was in there if memory serves correct they had Martin Logan SL3's running through Adcom amps and the sound was as good as na... | |
| Jolida JD100 on the way I would say stick with the standard feet. Try the Mullard CV4004 on the entry level price range of NOS, to the GE 5751's or others you can find in the archived threads. Do a search on JD-100 and I am certain you will pull up some good tube suggest... | |
| 2 way vs 3 way / Monitors vs. Floorstanding A key that is often overlooked is your room & proper room matching. You want to consider the room your system will be placed in. Will it be there for a few months, or many years? Then you want to consider a speaker that isn't too much for the ... |
