Infinity Intermezzo 4.1T Towers.
phildoc, could you please elaborate on how your 3.5" driver was repaired. One of my Prelude MTS towers has a midrange with the magnet delamination issue raising it's ugly head. Most of what I have read suggests they can't be repaired and need to b... 
Infinity Prelude MTS
I have used a Sonic Frontiers Power 1 amp, and loved that combo... I currently use a Plinius SA-100 MKIII. It offers superb control and a very neutral balance together with the Prelude MTSs. These speakers resolve like a microscope, so a grain fre... 
Apogee Mini Grand Questions
I used the Mini Grands for my main system for 7 years. I loved them for there uncanny midrange and lifelike imaging, and hope you get a chance to hear them set up near optimal. There should be an external DAX crossover that matches output between ... 
Tango Recommendation
For an energetic performance with sonics that are hauntingly spectacular, I recommend Astor Piazzolla: Luna, on Hemisphere. 
Recommended subwoofer list The Perfect Vision
What are you talking about Sean? My sub is on the list… so everything is copacetic. ;^) 
How About that Jazz Fest down in New Orleans....
Every night is a jazz fest in New Orleans! 
Amp shuts down with a signal.........
Hmmm. If the amp runs fine with no load, then maybe you can at least isolate if the problem is on the line-level input side, or the speaker-level output side. Have you tried connecting/loading with the ICs only? Since this amp is solid state, you ... 
Amp shuts down with a signal.........
Dan,Sounds like a short somewhere in the speaker cables, binding posts, or speaker(s) themselves. Check the binding posts. Sometimes if you over-torque them with spades, they can break or turn enough to have the wire inside your speaker touch a me... 
Wynton Marsalis recommendations
I’ve seen Wynton and Branford live several times (together and separate), and agree that they are amazing. Of the many Marsalis family CDs in my collection, my favorites of Wynton are:* Standard Time Vol. 3 (The Resolution Of Romance), in fact the... 
best 50 watt tube amplifier?
If changed slightly to 'best 50 watt tube amplifier for the money?', my vote goes to the Sonic Frontiers Power 1. I'm getting great sound, and it's darn close to eye candy with the tube cage off.Minor negatives: Runs pretty hot. Transformer hum (n... 
Bananas over ARC VT-100
You're scarin' me!May the force (not to mention a steady hand)... be with you. 
Looking for advice on 2 Channel system
As above, staying with BAT for a preamp sounds like a good idea. For speakers I would highly recommend the Infinity Prelude MTSs. Top to bottom, they are the most neutral, well rounded speaker I have heard near their price. They offer a built in s... 
buzzzzz, where did i go wrong?
Have you tried putting 'cheater plugs' (lifting the ground) from all but one three pronged plug? If the buzz/hum goes away, you are good to go, since ALL components that are connected (via interconnects) to the grounded component will be safely gr... 
Help I got a big time Hum in my system
Along the lines of Jvia, perhaps your system has a ground loop caused by more than one three-prong AC main cord. Since individual components are connected to each other through their interconnects (and you say when you remove interconnects the hum... 
Rosemary Clooney / Shirley Horn / Peggy Lee
Hi Sean,I think all three are terrific. I got a chance to meet Rosie and hear her perform (with John Pizzarelli lending guitar and vocals) during a jazz weekend two years ago… what a classy lady. She had some big commercial hits, and people tend t...
