| Best Speakers You Have Ever Heard In Your Home I've had two really fantastic pair in my listening room... speakers have come and they have gone over the years but these two sets were/are absolute keepers should another member get their hands on a set. 1. Reference 3a Serie Master, Baccarat - m... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @reubent - yeah, that is a fun album. Used to pump it hard with my HS buddies. One guys old man would let him take his mile long Caddy and "Jesus of Cool", Bowie "Young Americans "Stones "Some Girls" Elvis Costello "My Aim is True" Aerosmith "Rock... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Pretty chill morning with Nick Lowe "Jesus of Cool" - Â XTC "Skylarking" and Big Star "Radio City." Nice trifecta especially Nick Lowe... "and so it goes, and so it goes, and so it goes, and so it goes, but where it's going no one knows" - 70's HS ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Yo! @slaw... been streaming a bit but no time on the table until last night. Good to get away from it for a while then come back. Realize what you've been missing | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ok so back after a pretty long hiatus,... several months since I fired the table, or a table. Still borrowing a Rega P3/Grado Platnum combo that's really nice. Anyway, Otis Taylor"Contraband", The Roots "Phrenology" and My Morning Jacket "It Still... | |
| Reference 3a - old brochure + Reference 2008 Mint set of Reference 3a Baccarat on the "other site" - complete with original boxes and packaging. Extraordinarily rare and magical speakers. Just sharing  | |
| Preamp recommendation Can pick up a used Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 linestage for $1000+/-. No remote but don't be a spud, get up and adjust the volume, lol. Change the single tube in the SFL-1 to the highest quality 12AT7 you can afford (I'm running a Genelex Gold Lion) an... | |
| Experience with Cary CAD 808, "Rocket 88" The more I play these Equation, 7s the more I realize that they are, playing in this system, nothing short of breathtaking. These are straight up keepers! | |
| Experience with Cary CAD 808, "Rocket 88" I'm always rotating speakers and right now these Equation 7s are doing the job nicely. The owner drove them effortlessly with a lovely Audiomat, Aria; it's 30watts per side... they may stay with me. I also have a rare set of Reference 3a, Baccarat... | |
| Experience with Cary CAD 808, "Rocket 88" @dcooney thanks for your response... I don’t think I’m going to be happy with the Raytheons. Yes, they are true NOS however maybe they do need a bit more burn-in? The 12BZ7 tube is becoming increasingly difficult to find and the options are few. I... | |
| Experience with Cary CAD 808, "Rocket 88" So I've run through various speakers with this kit,... now using Sonus Faber Concertino Domus and a set of borrowed Equation 7s; both are fabulous albeit with very different presentations. Question: I recently replaced a set of Electro Harmonix 12... | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? Bought a set of Linn Keilidh for $120 in excellent condition 4yrs ago. Purchased from a big Linn Fanboy - guy had Kabers and Keltiks too all running Aktiv. Have been very nice little towers running with a variety of integrateds. So just got my Car... | |
| Tubed Preamp recommendations? No one mentioned the wonderful Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 hybrid. Really a liquid smooth piece that’s all about the power amp quality. Run mine with a pair of TAD 125 “Hibachi” Monoblocks and soon a Cary CAD 808R tuber. I have also upgraded the power l... |
