| What room treatment or treatments... Of course, Ethan has a vested interest in selling traps...Of course, the important thing is the sound--I'm most of the way done with implementing my Rives Level 1 (diffuser is 6 weeks from delivery, then I have to deal with the ceiling) and I'm de... | |
| Preamp with most dynamic contrast? mine--Supratek Syrah (for your price range, could probably move up to the Grange). | |
| Another musical "heads up".... Ask some of the young 'uns this one (and watch them look puzzled):"Was Paul McCartney in a band before Wings?"(I listened to the White Album on Sunday...) | |
| Your thoughts would be appreciated.. McCormack DNA 0.5--used should be in your price range. Will sound great & gives a significant upgrade path (through SMCAudio). | |
| speaker cable length question Aren't you asking the question:For a fixed distance Preamp to amplifiers to speakers what is the best sounding balance of distances (pre to amp) vs. (amp to speaker).In my experience, you are better off with shorter i/c's and longer speaker cables... | |

| Misleading ad titles and prices I too ignore the ads (there is a dealer section). I tried to start a thread on this and it was yanked.I hate when I get my thread yanked.Happy listening, | |
| VPI Aries with JMW-10 need help When I had a linestage, I had a MacCormack Phono Drive (not the micro) combined with a Shelter 501 Mk II. Was happy with the results. with what I know now, I would probably throw in a cartridgeman isolater with it.happy listening, | |
| Tube Pre Consider the Supratek Syrah. I have mine paired up with a SMCAudio/MacCormack DNA 0.5 Platinum and am quite pleased with the results. There are a lot of threads about this pre here (see "best preamps under 10K" for example).Happy listening, | |
| Your pick of CD player.... If you can find one used, I've been thrilled with my BOW Technologies ZZ8. | |
