| what is it like to mix tube and solid.. A tube pre on some solid state amps can really work. A friend from Peak Audio brought over a NEW Single ended triode preamp and stuck it on my simaudio 4070SE. We listened until it was midnight and time to shut it down.....I was very sorry to see ... | |
| Acoustic Zen, Pure Silver Sound, and Ana Roger, you should try some of these cables in your system. One will be what you want or need. You are looking for synergy. Having said that I myself was going from the Nordost red dawn to try the analysis plus oval 9's. But a friend advised me tha... | |
| Acoustic Zen Silver vs. Quattro-Fil IC s Jody at Brooklyn audio has at least one customer who changed his Quatro Fil ic for the Zen silver. Jim Merod, at stereo times, is using the zen silver inplace of his quatro fil. I'm not saying one is better than the other as I haven't listened to ... | |
| nordost cable burn in device The Canadian Mag The Inner Ear reviewed it. They gave it a very good review, also the British mag HIFI+ raved about it. Haven't used it personally as the local Nordost dealer doesn't carry one....Cheers, bluenose | |
| Mike Elliot s ARIA..the ultimate amp? Oops, amp not preamp. Sorry, Paul. see what happends when I haven't had my morning coffee? Duh, I'm disfunctional. Ignore my post as I thought you said preamp....cheers, Bluenose | |
| Mike Elliot s ARIA..the ultimate amp? Remember Sonic Frontiers' Sfl-l? I owned one along with quite a few other people and it is a hybrid design. only one tube, but you could really improve that sound with an upgrade to the signature model, or a plantinum tube which I tried and loved.... | |
| Who is the sexiest female vocalist? These are all good choices and I have most of them. Of course, Lucinda Williams breaths sexy......one of the summer cottagers here in Malagash gave me some old vinyl left over from a yard sale.....among the scratched, worn albums was a copy of Jo ... | |
| My Poop theory by kublakhan Doug, I laughed so hard I almost pooped. The poop theory is alive and well.....Bluenose | |
| My Poop theory by kublakhan Been there, done that. My cure? Shut the system down and leave it alone for as long as possible. Do something, anything else that doesn't involve music. Keep away from the stereo as long as possible, this includes reading or even talking about it.... | |
| Final Labs Daruma Bearings, Opinons? I've asked people about them. Here is what I've heard. The aurios are better but the question is are they $200 better? The darumas will not hold as much weight as the aurios. There have been a couple cases reported of the the bearing scoring the a... | |
| Martin Logan: They finally did it I had a chance to listen to the SL'3's at Peak Audio in Halifax, here in Nova Scotia. The electronics were Moon 3 amp, E.A.R. pre, arcam fm23 cd player and all wiring was siltech. I found myself just wallowing in the music. Before I used to find t... | |
| Help me Tweek my System, for less Is the moon plugged into your power conditinoer or directly into the wall. Jean Polin, at simaudio told me never to put my sim amp into any power conditioner. Is your power conditoner raised off the floor or rug? Also, if your system is very revea... | |
| Music trivia anyone? Sorry about getting back so late. I forgot to reply. Dekay, you've got the right idea. Dave Clark added Sellotape around the capstan and kept adding to it until he got the speed he wanted. Rcprince you're a little short. Would you believe they sco... | |
| Acoustic Zen vs Homegrown or Mapleshade Yes to Kitch29....Pierre sells the jumpers on the Mapleshade website....He will actually cut them to the size you request. Excellent chap to talk to...These are jumper ribbons seperate from his speaker wires but similar to the omega speaker wires ... | |
| Acoustic Zen vs Homegrown or Mapleshade Garyl. I agree they don't look like much but mapleshade wants us to use bare wire. I didn't think that edge of foil would be a great connection either but it works. The jumpers on the newform ribbons are longer than need be and Pierre said just to... |
