My first real hi-end audio system Please advise
I think I can hear the audible collective sighs of relief from other audiophiles around me as well! I don't think you will regret your decision to keep and enjoy the fine quality components you are being blessed with.As for the matching with subwo... 
My first real hi-end audio system Please advise
I would advise to not sell the stuff your father is giving you. In the past I had sold my two channel system and purchsed what I was led to believe to be a very good "mid-fi" surround system. To say I was dissapointed was a vast understatement. No...

Hello Scott-You can take a look at my system link below to get the details, however I might be of some help.I currently own the Quicksilver V4 monoblocks. My previous preamp was the Quicksilver Linestage (retail $1095) in which I replaced the tube...

Pure Note Cerulean
Let me make a comment: ANY COMPANY, yes ANY can set up a secondary bank account with NO FUNDS in it, just to receive wire transfers. Once the money is wired, withdrawal and deposit into your main account. If someone wanted to "give" a compnay thou... 
What LPs do you use for VTA adjustment
Hi Doug,When you have the list complete, or nearing completion let us know. I think that information would seem quite helpful and valuable! As a newbie to learning to dial in VTA as well as VTF it will be nice to know a certain "generality" of a s... 
Pure Note Cerulean
I can't believe people are defending Pure Note on this. They are a business! They should find ways to accept money from customers! Ever hear "the customer is always right" ? Ridiculous what excuses some people will make to avoid a little extra wor...

Drubin,The EAR834p you compared was that a "stock" version, or was it modified/upgraded in any way? I am also considering one of these two phono amps for purchse. Wonder if the treble extension could be improved with some tube rolling.Thanks for a... 
Spacedeck compared with Gyrodec SE
Again, thanks for all of the very helpful information! I was able to speak with the dealer I am working with about the Nottingham Space Deck - specifically about the Space arm vs. the RB700 arm. He did state the Space arm will work equally well wi... 
Spacedeck compared with Gyrodec SE
4yanx and others-Thanks for all the advice. I was speaking with a dealer that recommended the RB700 arm over the Space arm to be used with the Shelter 501 and then perhaps the Koetsu Black down the road. Is there some inclination on paper that the... 
Spacedeck compared with Gyrodec SE
Thank you to all who have responded. I have been making some inquiring phone calls to dealers that carry both lines and have almost been told unanimously the Nottingham Spacedek seems to be a bit more musical, as well as a bit more performance for... 
Pure Note Cerulean
Ahh... one last note under the Sonic_genius account, other than just 174 posts on cables, he/she also has three reviews posted for Pure Note... another coincidence I am sure. No, you detect no skepticism on my part.I am sure the Pure Notes are goo... 
Pure Note Cerulean
Just an observation anyone can make. Under each post, your moniker, which is underlined is a link to your email... next to that you can click on a link that says "threads" or "answers"... if you click on Drrdiamond's for example you will see...Amp...
