Was just playing around with a perfect little vintage $1,500 rig... a much written about Musical Fidelity, A100 integrated, Canton, Karat 40 (3) way monitors; beautiful German build and a Music Hall, MMF 2.1 TT w/Adcom high output MC cart. Or, how... | |
| What’s the best tube for a Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 preamp I run a Genalex, Gold Lion in mine,... fabulous! GL with yours @skipper320; it's a terrific linestage that paired with the right amp will bring you pure sonic joy. I've run mine with TAD, Hibachi Monoblocks, a Cary 808R tuber, and soon a Sugden Bi... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Trying out a new to me vintage Adcom high output MC cart... playing nicely on the Luxman low mass arm. So, Amos Lee, "self titled" sounds very nice. Lots of string pop and accurate decay. Cowboy Junkies, "The Caution Horses" & now Ben Harper, ... | |
| Solid-state preamp with tube power amp Been thinking about this a lot myself... have a simple Sonic Frontiers, SFL-1 (Electro Harmonix tube) with a Cary "Rocket 88R" (Gold Lion and Raytheon tubes). Speakers in and out although right now a pair of very efficient Equation "7". It all pla... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw so hard these days to spend anytime listening. Got some new tubes for my Cary amp so found and excuse... DH does some great duets w/Roberta Flack too. Silky voice & some solid production. Stevie is well, Stevie! | |
| Thinking of trying "vintage" sound just for fun Have a beautiful all original (albeit painfully gone through and restored) Scott 222 Stereomaster from '57 playing gloriously with a set of Electro Voice Centurions. Can talk about the amp if you're serious. Breaking down this incredible vintage s... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Well okay so, Donny Hathaway "self tittled," Al Green "I'm Still In Love With You" & Stevie Wonder's "Talking Book." That's my Sunday morning vibe. Have any of these? It might be a good day to dust one off. | |
| Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so Been listening daily to an Audiomat, Arpege Reference and it's is without question the sexiest sounding, looking and all around fabulously performing integrated I have had the pleasure of using. It's exceptional in EVERY WAY! Now I've also played ... | |
| Killer used integrated for <$500? @mcondo - get a lovely vintage reciever... recently picked up a Luxman R-1050 and its extraordinary! Rosewood cabinet, lovely glowing meters so the vibe is right but, it PLAYS BRILLIANTLY! Can pick something like this up for $5-$600 so right in yo... | |

| 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... | |
