| No Audiophiles in Hollywood And the end of Before Sunset as well. In Delpy's apartment is an old school 70's reciever. | |
| New SET Amp I dunno, in many ways I think Cary is the right choice for tube consumer types rather than us afficionados.That said...I would suggest an Airtight, which will be other varieties of tube SET; namely KT88 and EL34. Unfortunately it's definitely more... | |
| Manley 300B Preamplifier You know, actually your first post doesn't say anything about headphones. | |
| Anyone heard the nnew Mantaray Manley integrated? Yeah... I wondered if anyone had been to CES. Sure will be nice to see a full fledged EL34 with some of the same grunt as the little Stingray. | |
| Manley 300B Preamplifier Jaytea - 300b's are noisy, midrangey tubes by their nature. I'm surprised you didn't mention the two headphone jacks or using them? Some people say the Manley stuff is dark, but I just find it to be that pro gear quality "no crap in the background... | |
| Speakers with Cary 300 SEI I second a listening of the Harbeths. Their upper range speakers are both bulletproof and a nice listen. If you are considering the Proac's; listen to the Harbeths. I think they're a better speaker for a number of reasons. I would also try a coupl... | |
| Manley 300B Preamplifier It's funny - most of the "typical" weaknesses are absent, but most of the "typical" strengths are present in the preamp. Not to mention the couple of different headphone settings. | |
| Manley 300B Preamplifier Manley seems to have solved a lot of the inherent probs of thhe 300b with that preamp... High power, sweetness, and none of the drawbacks of using it as the output power tube. | |
| Best movies last two years I didn't realize "Manon" was a sequel. May I recommend "Kinky Boots" and Ozu's "Floating Weeds" (the original version)? The later version of "Floating Weeds" was playing on IFC the other night, and I was surprised; not anywhere near as good. I'm t... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Why am I not surprised that the same people who cut me off in traffic, the BeeEm owners, are the same people posting on 'gon? Why is it they don't know the difference between an actual sport sedan like an Alfa, and their yuppie-mobile? | |
| Music for "Tough Times" Jarmusch, Scorsese, Wenders, even Tarantino... amazing soundtracks. Not just best of's or "I know that..." I think this is why they make me smile. Jackie Brown is a great example of a soundtrack that when you're in a bad mood, after "Across A Hund... | |
| High End Integrated Choices Love the new JJ Tesla's, and Groove Tubes makes the Mullard EL34 reissues, as well as the early rock n' roll/country r&b GE 6V6 that everyone is so in love with. I like the SLI-80 for it's versatility most, so I'd be tempted to get a few diffe... | |
| Theory about Cary amps and their reviewers I very much agree that they are always professional. Sometimes I think dealing with them is a little more off-putting than with some companies. | |
| Carts that sound like a Koetsu I agree about the shelter not having that magical quality, but I like it better at every price point. | |
| Spacedeck Shelter 501mk2 question. The arm pod has always been more the key to good cart setup to me on my space. Never gotten a cart to align exactly with the headshell. Never had one that sits at a real angle either. |
