If it were my $ and I was restricted to a lower amount I would buy used and choose from among a select group. I am not a big fan, but others point out that you can put together a decent soundi... | |
| Mogami 3106 - Bass Heads, this is for you. I needed a cheap pair of cables for a balanced connection so I chose Mogami and after about 50 hours they kind of suck. Perhaps they will get better, but lower mid-grade would be my rating at this point. What I will say is that using and comparing... | |
| Which tube spots for which affects? In most preamps the first gain stage is the most important. although I hear differences in just about every section including the rectifiers. I think this really depends on the circuit but I usually tell my clients to spend the most on the first o... | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? I have yet to hear a conditioner that didnt take away as much as it gave. Far better to start with dedicated lines properly done and then experiment. | |

| Speakers for string Quartets If you want the best speaker for string quartets look for the best jazz speaker or the best rock speaker or the best folk speaker. Most likely it will be the same speaker. | |
| Schitt freya preamp hum- how do I get rid of this? Dont take this wrong way guys, but none of us are any better than the best we have heard or have seen. So if you compare a Schiit Freya against a better sounding unit and design, you are not nearly as impressed. I stopped looking for giant killer ... | |
| Where is best place to sell vintage WiFi? Audiogon first. For well known vintage brands like McIntosh ebay might be your best bet. I have never had good luck on the free audio sites. Sorry for your loss! | |
| Lansche plasma tweeter replacement every 5000 hours. Best sounding tweeter I have ever heard. Lansche has been around for decades. Dont know how long they have had a strong presence in the U.S. however. | |
| Schitt freya preamp hum- how do I get rid of this? It is very likely it wont be as quiet in tube mode as in S.S. | |
| Any truth to my feeling that MM carts are possibly better than MC on rock recordings? The best cartridge for rock will also be the best cartridge for classical. It can be no other way. | |
| What is your favorite cover? Satisfaction by Devo is up there. I saw The Melvins live and they did an incredible cover of Deuce by Kiss. Ella Guru by XTC. |
